Leatherman 830039 New Wave Multitool with Leather Sheath

Great convenience in a small package. The one problem is that the temper on the blade is not great. I used the blade to remove some stapes and I got big nicks in the blade. A cheap knife would have done better. It resharpened, but that is not the objective.

Not only is this a well made tool, but this is the only Leatherman that has the exact mix of tools I want. I carry mine with me all the time and have found it very useful. I have owned (darn TSA and my forgetfulness) other Leatherman products, and while they have all been very well built, none had this mix of tools, it is perfect and I am buying another two right now, one for my wife and a spare for me.

This product exceeds my needs and my expectations. It is solid and more comfortable than my previous multi tool

I have several of these around the house and the cars. I have also given many as gifts. Well made and have enough tools to handle most small repairs. If I had to complain about anything it is that it's a little too heavy to carry comfortably in your pocket all day. No problem if you use the belt sheath though. I also have the Skeletool which is much more pocketable, but also has fewer tools. As other reviewers have said, this also makes a great gift for the handyman/handywoman or outdoorsman. It's a good idea to use a little lubricant to make it operate more smoothly. Also, be careful when opening the blade with one hand. I found out the hard way how sharp it is. If you don't have one of these, you should buy one.

I have used Leatherman tools in the past and always had good luck with the product. This new tool does not let you down. I keep the New Wave in the SUV and have used it on several jobs without having to go find several tools to perform one job. It is a strong and reliable handy tool to have around.
