Customer Rating: Summary: A Great Buy Comment: I originally was going to purchase this product through a major department store; Leatherman and shealth came separate. Once I was ready to complete the order the Leatherman was out of stock. I came to Amazon and found the Leatherman and shealth could be purchased together. It was about 25% cheaper too. My husband is very happy with the Leatherman product. He was skeptical on the quality of the leather shealth but it has lived up to his expectations. Customer Rating: Summary: Leatherman Wave Comment: I bought this as a birthday present for my husband and he loves it. We live on a farm & this tool certainly comes in handy for all types of needs.
I would certainly recommend this to anyone who wants a multi-tool that is not so bulky to carry around. Customer Rating: Summary: leatherman Comment: My husband loves his leatherman. We have had four. We did have one that we had to have replaced. Which was very easy with the lifetime warrenty. The others were lost. (I wonder if leathermen could weld it to my husband.) We keep buying more because my husband can't function without them. Great product... Definetly one of man's best friends. Customer Rating: Summary: Useful in ditching girls. Comment: I, in general, don't like tools and have as few as possible cluttering up the place. Hey, what are repairmen for? I do make an exception with this little thing though. This is one useful toy! I, as a matter of fact have five of them. I keep one at home, one in my apartment, one in each of my cars and carry one in my purse. I was not even aware of these useful little items until I read an article in a magazine about some poor guy who was out walking and a big old rock fell on his arm. Rather than die a horrible death of starvation, or having some wild animal eat him, he took his leatherman type tool and cut his arm off with it! This saved his life! I had recently had a similar experience. I was at a convention in Atlanta and hooked up with a lady lawyer there, one thing led to another, and well the next morning I found myself lying in bed with her laying across my right leg completely zonked out. Now this girl talked nonstop unless her mouth was occupied elsewhere (I have to admit she was pretty good at that), and I did not want to wake her up and listen for the next three days. My leg was completely asleep; I mean no feeling what-so-ever. Yup, I had to wake her up and it took me two days to ditch her. Had I had one of these multipurpose tools with me, I could have made a tourniquet from my pantyhose, and simply removed my leg like the guy removed his arm! I swear by my sister virginity (now that is a laugh), that I would have done it. She still writes me and I may have to change my phone number. Anyway, I read this article about the guy and said to myself that I have to have one of those thingies.
I can fix just about anything now and actually go around the house, office and cars looking for broke stuff to fix even if it does not need it. As an added bonus, the one I carry in my purse can act as a great defensive weapon and is perfectly legal to carry in most conservative states but as I seldom travel in New England, I need not worry too much about that.
There is one tool on it, a wire stripper. I have absolutely no idea what that is for and have never seen a wire that I had a great desire to strip, or why on earth someone would want to do that to the poor things. I Guess you can't have it all though, huh.
Anyway, I really truly recommend this tool. It is neat, cool and oh so useful. I think I will buy them for peoples Christmas presents this year.
Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent tool Comment: I have used this tool for the past month, and am addicted to it. It has been invaluable. I tried using a cheaper multitool and found the Leatherman to be of much higher quality. The tool can be a little tough to remove from its sheath one handed, but that was easily resolved when I accidentally put the sheath on my belt upside down. I've been doing it that way since. I'd definitely recommend it.
The New Wave multitool from Leatherman features improved pliers and wire cutters, externally locking knives, a file, and a saw. All the internal tools are positive locking and include scissors, flat 1/4-inch bit driver with Phillips head, flat screwdrivers, can opener, reversible eyeglass screwdriver and wire Stripper. Comes with handy leather sheath. Made in USA with Domestic and foreign parts.
