 "an exelent tool" | 2008-10-03 |

| This tool has become the only knife that i need to carry, the blade is made of good steel with one of the best grinds I have ever seen on a combo blade. The handle is solid when using the pliers, up to a point. you sacrifice some strength with such a light build but it can handle most light to medium use. The only real issue I have with this tool is the pocket clip, it bends very easily but it hasn't broken yet, so every week I unscrew the clip and bend it back into shape. This thing is about the same size as a regular pocket knife and rides in your pocket like one. |

I was torn between the skeletool and the new Wave. Leatherman 830040 New Wave Multi-Tool with Nylon Sheath
Here is where they differ where it counts (to me):
1. The new wave is straight; your hand is not; however, the skeletool takes up more room in your pocket because of the shape and bottle opener on the end
2. The new wave has more tools than the skeletool; it has been my experience that the more tools one tries to fit into a multi-tool, the less practical and functional those individual tools are; The ONLY other feature that I wish it has is scissors;
3. The new wave looks like any other leatherman; I have to give the skeletool its due accolades on both cool looks and sleek design;
4. The skeletool does not come with a pouch; Hey if you like features, look at point 3 again.
Now for the bad;
1. It would have been nice for leatherman to include a T-8 to remove the pocket clip; this was annoying;
2. The second bit storage does not hang on to the bit well; the bit fell out a couple of times;
3. The holes and crevices hold dirt and grime.
That is it on pros and cons.
I have kept this tool on me for a month now. I can safely say that I use it several times each day. With multi-tools I have had before, I would get frustrated with the lack of feature or functionality and be reluctant to use it, finally leaving it to collect dust in my catch-all.
I can say without exaggeration that I use it at least 3 times a day and its is extremely useful. I would recommend this tool to anyone.
As a side note, I also purchased the extra bit pack Leatherman's Bit Kit expands your driver's capabilities with 42 Multitool steel Bits.. I do not use them nearly as much as I anticipated.

| This tool is very light, versatile and very handy. The blade, to my surprise, was immensely sharp, much sharper than any knife I have owned. The knife was so sharp I actually slid my thumb across the serration on accident while trying to open it quickly and it took a chunk of skin off. I have never owned a Leatherman so I was quite happy and pleased with this model. |

| It's light, it has just enough features that you'd use them all fairly frequently, and the knife opens without having to open the whole tool. |

| This has been part of my wardrobe since I purchased it. From the one handed serrated blade, to all the rest of the tools, excellent, Cool factor very high and not uncomfortable with tool in pocket, clip on outside. It will be a long time before I get tired of having this at my fingertips. |

| Very light tool. Locking blade is great. I have a Juice S2 also and it does not have a locking blade so this is a welcome feature. Cons: two seperate srewdriver bits and only room to carry one in the tool. I wish they would have put a phillips head on one side and a straight bit on the other. I mean the whole idea I guess was for the tool to be light and no fuss. And they make it with to different bits and only room to carry one....I don't get it? |

This is the 4th Leatherman I've purchased, and arguably my favorite.
pros:
-perfect size
-pocket clip keeps it from feeling too bulky by keeping it in place at the TOP of my pocket
-the best screwdriver yet! How many times have you busted up your knuckles because the "old style" Leatherman screwdriver folds under pressure? That can't happen with this knife!
cons:
-no scissors... the most used feature on my Leatherman Juice S2!
-pocket clip can get caught on various things (true of all pocket clips, and evidence that I'm a little clumsy)
-(minor) there are 2 bits included, one phillips, one standard, both are double sided. I anticipate that I will end up accidentally loosing one of these bits. Had the manufacturer included 2 bits, both double sided, BUT with a phillips and a standard on each, they could have (for the same amount of metal) made loosing one bit trivial. |

| I have bought this tool just few days ago from swissknifeshop.com I have ordered engraving as well. Price was little bit higher, but does not mater. My father is collecting pocket knives, and I just like to have something, what can catch his eye. What I missing little bit is a can opener. I think designer can develop more functions for part, which I can use now just as bit holder.... That's why I am thinking to buy in future SOG B61 or Victorinox work champ. |

| I love it. It's perfect for my office environment job. The pocket clip is perfectly shaped makes it hang discreetly inside. It contains the most used tools, needlenose and regular pliers, knife, phillips and flathead (2 sizes ea.) Oh yeah, the caribiner/bottle opener get their share of use too. I have to say the best thing about this tool is, the knife on this thing is THE BEST knife I have found on a multitool. It is comfortable to use, and can be opened one handed. Oh ya, if anyone is wondering....EDC = every day carry. Check out edcforums.com to learn more. |
