The engineers at Leatherman had to carefully examine their flagship product to figure out how it can be improved without losing any of the features and benefits that made it so popular in the first place. Of course, it’s important to remember that multi-tools are not intended to replace a traditional toolset. Whenever possible, you want to use the correct, full-sized, specialized tool for the job. The value of the multi-tool is that it can serve as a replacement toolset in a pinch while being a lightweight, easy-to-carry unit. About the Leatherman Company

I’m a big fan of having a pair of scissors on my multi-tool and both of these have a good pair. I put the Surge scissors against 2 other multi-tools in a test of cutting my fingernails and toenails and it did a great job. The Surge scissors win this match though because they are outside accessible and they are bigger which means you can open the ‘mouth’ of the scissors wider. Companies have a long history of trying to upgrade an established favorite, only to have the whole thing blow up in their faces, such as the creation of New Coke. Leatherman didn’t want to make the same mistake. Besides, since Leatherman is constantly innovating and improving their products, they know you’ll want to upgrade your multi-tool long before your warranty expires. Verdict The Leatherman Wave + is one of if not the most popular Leatherman on the market today. It offers a superb combination of seventeen tools and is an ideal if not essential piece of equipment for almost any job or adventure.Engraving– One of the things that helps set Leatherman apart from competitors is their knowledge of how people use multi tools. Providing engraving services for a fair price lets you personalize your Wave+ or create a memorable gift for someone you care about.

To avoid this trap, Leatherman actually listened to their customers to figure out new improvements they could make to the product without sacrificing the original. Tools & FunctionThe Wave Plus retains all the original tools with the exception of the electrical crimper and interchangeable wire cutter blades. It adds function without sacrificing anything, which makes it the superior version. The Wave+ has several useful accessories included standard. If these aren’t enough there are always options to add on more. Royal Mail will ask to see a valid photo identification if the recipient appears to be under 25, in line with the 'UK Challenge 25' policy, and a signature will be required upon delivery. Most of Leatherman’s full-size multi tools are now being made with bit holders instead of dedicated screwdrivers. There are pros and cons to this but for our part we think it’s a useful feature. The only gripe we have is Leatherman’s insistence on going with proprietary sized bits instead of standard ¼ inch bits. The Leatherman Charge collection is very similar to the Leatherman Wave. It is enhanced with many of the same tools. The difference is that the Charge is a little more luxurious. Especially the Leatherman Charge TTi+ is a very premium multi-tool. Leatherman Free
