| Looking at buying the wave model. You guys have any thoughts on it or any other multitools out there? |

Despite the stances on the company, Leatherman makes a damn fine multi-tool. I've had a Surge for years (now my work multi-tool), but recently got a 'suped up' one from Texas Tool Crafters with a Damascus steel blade  The Wave is a bit smaller than the Surge but pretty much all the same tools, great multi-tool! The new model Surge is really nice because it has replaceable wire-cutter inserts. You can also get it in black or stainless.  |

Carry one daily.
I know the owner's politics, I get it, but I just haven't found a decent replacement. I have a: Wave 300 EOD (gift) Supertool Mini Wave is probably the best for EDC. My super tool is about over kill for most things. The EOD editions, unless you're EOD, is... kind of useless. |

I carried the original SuperTool v.1 for over a decade and put it through hard use at work as the GM of a 16 screen movie theatre and it paid for itself in spades. Crap was always breaking and the toolbox was a long way aways, most often.
Right now I'm sportin' the SAK SwissChamp with Zermatt holster and sharpening steel. Does more and a bit more elegant, but not nearly as robust as the ST v.1.

Quoted:
Tim Leatherman is a liberal tool, but nobody makes a better multitool. I have the Wave and the Wingman. I use/carry the Wingman most of the time, and the Wave lives in car's "GoBag." Swisstool imo is a much better tool and the owners definitely are not obamasucking libtards like Tim is. Only leatherman I still use is the Micra ( which I got from Tim in person at the Shotshow back in 1998 ) FTL and FBHO and FDNC |
