The tiny bit driver is actually extremely useful. Glasses, even regular sunglasses, have screws that require tightening. This tool will do that.

[@CaptainRemixerOfficial]

Not to mention electronics, i work with dead stuff laptops and its probably not a good idea to use an all metal non protected tool to work on it, when you work with people that just call you out to their branch and say “fix it” with no indication of what i need to do this tool is a god send

@Clawbytes try a quality belly band or aiwb holster and carry in the appendix position around 12:00/12:30 Just adjust your belt buckle to the side of your gun and be careful while holstering and i have found that this is the best way to conceal after trying everything and thinking i was going to be stuck with pocket carry.

I have a 20 year old original Wave that has seen heavy use. Probably the most used tool in my tool collection for always being right on me 75% of the time like my wallet and phone. From minor repair emergencies, opening stubborn packages to helping others on my daily travels. The saw is the real gem on the Wave, it actually cuts aggressively, smoothly without any kerf wondering like a high quality Japanese Ikeda cut jointers saw. I actually can saw little finger joints with this saw and then knock out the unwanted wood with the other parts of the Leatherman Wave.

[@Dazerlbc]

Youd never be out of luck with leatherman. I broke my leatherman wave due to negligence on my part, i told them it was my fault it broke and they still fixed it and sent it back.

[@kidthorazine]

yeah as somebody who both wears glasses and tinkers with electronics, the mini screwdriver is probably the most used tool on my Leatherman.

I agree. I do a lot of automotive electrical work and jewel screwdriver is clutch for repinning electrical connectors. I have broken mine and had to replace it already.

[@chrishoesing5455]

Older video here, but I figured I would add my 2 cents. I have been carrying a wave daily since they invented it. I used the all leather original holster for years (took a little stretching to get the redesigned wave in it years back) and even had it repaired when it finally failed. After it failed the second time, I tried their new holsters. The stretchy stuff in the sides of the new "leather" case for all stretched out until it was useless, and the Velcro was annoying on the nylon case which wore out pretty quick as well. So I molded myself a new full leather case out of full grain, vegetable tanned leather, and saddle stiched it and installed a heavy duty snap. That has now lasted a few years, and was well worth the effort. I have two or three waves that I use, and intermittently send into leatherman for warranty repair/replacement as needed. I can't be without my favorite edc. As far as that little driver, I use it all the time. Digging crud out of screw heads, taking off door handles, opening privacy knobs (bathroom style lock) if needed like when the kids lock it, over riding electrical cabinet power handles, my glasses, or others glasses, electronics repair etc. Etc. Etc.. I would be very upset if they got rid of it. For me the least used tools are the saw, the serrated blade, and the bottle opener. Not that they are useless, but just the least used. I use the measuring edge quite often as well actually. I'm glad you pointed out the one hand plier opening technique, I don't think most people know that. I have gotten several people over the years to start carrying one themselves after they asked me to borrow mine several times. I am in the industrial maintenance field so it is a very handy thing to have on your hip. I would never pocket or clip carry it though, as I feel it is just to heavy for that imho. I could go on forever about my favorite tool so I will just leave it at that.

[@Larry-gs8gb]

I have a wave,the eyeglass driver has come in handy several times for the tiny screws on battery compartments.I pocket carry mine ,and keep the sheath with the bit kit & extension in my bag. I got a charge for christmas, and it has replaced the wave for my edc ,due to better blade steel and more comfortable handles,wave is still great though and rides in my glove box.

[@moto6657]

Just want to throw a shout out to their warranty department. Somehow broke the plier head, did the warranty process and after 2 weeks of waiting got it back in the mail. Was totally surprised that they pretty much replace every tool on it. Thanks leatherman

[@gideonstactical]

Yes they are usually really good with warranty.

[@halluzinate_]

@@gideonstactical But you said in their video that you'd be "out of luck"... They have a 25 year (lifetime) warranty, mate.

[@BenKickert]

No multi-tool is the best option for anything... but it is a great way to make sure you have what you NEED on hand. The Wave is my favorite multi-tool hands down, especially when you add the bit extender and extra bits. Because the real power comes with the accessories, I carry it in a nylon sheath.

[@quinnls]

I’m a really big fan of the locking mechanism. The first time I picked up one of these at the store I could feel how totally robust and well built it was. I’m really glad I got mine and I hope that it will last many years to come

[@joshpeterson7216]

How has it lasted?

[@OutsideTheTargetDemographic]

I used paracord to wrap the thumb cuts in the two main blades, two different colors, so I know the orientation of the tool/blade, and it saves my thumb pad from being torn up with numerous engagements. It also changes the indented, push-inward indexing into a raised, push-outward option. I also car waxed mine, to help with rust/corrosion/cleaning/staining/wear/ect.

[@rileyramone6231]

My dad bought me this for Christmas one year. Hands down the best gift I've ever revived in my life. A friend was recently looking to buy a leatherman and went with the surge because he figured it was top of the line and better. However being a bit bigger and bulkier isn't worth it. His surge lives on the dash of the truck and he never has it when he needs it. Mine lives on my belt or in my pocket, always ready to go.

[@WilliamKister]

I ended up buying a Rebar several years ago because it was the cheaper package. I bought the Wave Plus later on. For everyday carry I actually enjoy the Rebar more. Smaller package that feels stronger in my opinion. The Wave Plus is nice if you need the bits, but for me that is almost never. The quick deployment I don't need often because I usually carry another folding knife on me at all times that has a much better blade profile and accessibility. The main reason I carry a multitool is the pliers and the screwdriver capability. I also use the file a lot in orthopedics because it lets me smooth out high friction areas on casts after they set that may cause grief to the patients I deal with.

[@jasonpoe8135]

Something I recently learned after carrying a wave for over a decade is the v shaped cutout on the can bottle opener is actually a wire stripper meant to be used half closed in combination with handles to strip wire just thought I would throw that out there it works great love this leather man

[@chrisoakleyfx]

That tiny flat head screwdriver has actually come in useful for different reasons. Recently I used it to pry out a AAA battery from my headtorch as my fingers simply couldn't get into the space. Not it's intended purpose but still useful.

[@ericwhitlow7364]

I've owned my original Leatherman Wave since it first came out 20 years ago. Great review, as usual. You've nailed what makes this such a valuable all-purpose, multi-tool. It's allways in my pick-up, ready to help with whatever odd tasks come up. The Plus is a nice upgrade; if I were purchasing for the first time, or needed to replace my original, it would be my first choice.

[@akro7481]

Lots of people wear glasses, also I do a lot of work in maintenance and those tiny screw drivers can get into some tight spaces for very light duty prying (on tiny parts that need something lifted to release for example) or working with small components. The key thing about tools is just because you personally can't find a use for it doesn't mean it's useless, there may just be a lack of imagination at work. Also the more tools you have on hand the easier it is to find one that fits the job you need to do, the eye glass screwdriver opens quite a lot of opportunities.

[@Strangerer69]

My original wave is awesome, plus it came with a leather pouch. Best camping tool I ever had.

I tried several other brands as a cable installer and once I put the Leatherman Wave in my watch pocket I was done... I've been carrying this particular one, (lost a couple over the years) but always went straight to Lowes and bought a new one within hours of losing them. I literally feel like a part of me is missing when it's not in my watch pocket and I use it every single day and have for years... Great multi-tool... Thanks for the video! *Forgot to mention... I installed DTV satellite systems for 16 years with just a multi-tool (mostly this one), and Dewault Drill. Very versatile tool

[@simonh6371]

[@jameshuggins1204]

@@simonh6371 I believe everyone has there preference and rightfully so. I personally didn't like wearing a tool bag on my body as I walked through nice, or ckuttered and it had nothing to do with whether or not I paid attention it was just easier and less cumbersome. I performed quite efficiently and professionally with minimal tools. Its also much better when crawling thorough attics. That being said, no I could not repair a wall or install a door with it but as far as electrical and cabling its more than an effective replacement for no less than 7 routinely used tools in my that profession. I believe a talented professional can do more with less and this tool is perfect for me.

[@danielkinney8166]

I have carried the original Wave on my belt in the nylon pouch for 20+ years. I own other multi tools the wave is my favorite. I recently made a molded leather sheath for it after the Velcro wore out on the original, should have done that long ago. I use the tiny screwdriver often glad it's there. Being the original mine doesn't have exchangeable bits nor do the inside tools lock but it has served me well.

I’m a mechanic and I have a wingman(I turned into a one sided knife mt), Charge Plus, REBAR and Super Tool 300. The rebar stays in with my auto tools. Wingman is carried on me (not for the last week due to me loosing it think I know where it’s at just can’t get to it yet). The Super Tool 300 is always on my belt! And as for the Charge plus I don’t use very often because I’m terrified of getting it beat up (still have price shock over me buying it). Although when I do use it, it has been really useful in most ways and yes I do use the little driver bit too!

[@philp411]

When I realized my folder was only slightly larger than my Leatherman multitools, I went to the Leatherman for the benefit of multiple tools. I got a Wave prior to the plus option and use it with the pocket clip. It is on the larger side for a pocket knife so I more often use a Leatherman Sidekick. Which reveals one thing the Wave doesn’t offer: spring loaded plier. The Sidekick’s spring loaded plier is quite handy. And relying on the Leatherman as a primary utility option backed up by a fixed blade knife, I don’t feel lacking. When I’m in the bush, I rely on a larger fixed blade and folding saw (or bigger saw) so the limited utility of the Leatherman is strictly a convenience factor that I appreciate. I’ve been looking at the Surge+ (or Wave+) though as an upgrade. Keep up the good work!

I kind of miss my original Supertool since it was far more compact. Though nowadays I use the Wave's brother, the Charge. I wanted the better blade on there since I use the Leatherman almost daily. It sits in a slot in my briefcase while travelling about and then I move it into the pocket via the clip. Awesome tool.

[@EspenFrafalne]

I really like that you can get that bit extender for the Wave+ and Charge TTI, so you can use regular hex bits..! The Charge TTI looked very tempting, but then i saw a video describing that some of the edges have a bit hard angles compared to the much more rounded edges of the Wave+, and that therefore the Charge TTI was not very comfortable in situations where you need to add a lot of force with the pliers. I remember having a cheap multitool that you had to open to get to the knife and stuff, and the thin hard edges made the pliers literally painful to use... So i decided to go with the Wave+. The blade on the Charge TTI will hold its edge longer, but this also makes it more difficult to sharpen it... I dont remember the last time i used a knife for anything other than opening packs of food and stuff like that, and if i ever need a better knife than the Wave+, ill just get a dedicated pocket knife...

old geccko Someone gave me one in the early 1990’s. Been too long to remember exactly. But they bought it new for me. I’m not really a fan of multi-use tools. No “One Tool Option” for me. I prefer good quality single use tools. Especially in my wilderness and ‘survival’ kits.

I carry a wingman I like the scissors.

I got a wave nov 2017 and ive been using it everday at work since then, i messed up because if i wouldve waited until mid 2018 i couldve got the plus but it still was the best purchase ive made in a while.

[@joecombs8315]

I love my original wave I bought for aviation school in 1999.

[@randyyeager]

I don't understand why they thought it was a good idea to put 4 flathead screwdrivers in it...and i wish it had an awl...

[@joecombs8315]

I don't either! I mean I have had to use them before but it would have been nice to exchange a couple of them for some other tool.

[@DBoom70]

@@randyyeager I agree. I want an awl in all of my multi tools. Its intentional....they have to keep you wanting for something. It's part of it and its bullshit. Lol.

[@Uncle_Red]

I agree about it having an awl, but I've made plenty of holes with the smallest screwdriver.

[@supermoon1430]

But really how often do you use an awl and on what?

[@erikmetal666]

For me, the best bang for the money is the Rebar, my favorite edc, i agree that the wave is great tough, i have the previous version and i like to carry it with the clip, cause the sheath is too bulky. I wish it had an awl instead of the mini screwdriver. But overall i just love the rebar, is more compact, looks great in its leather sheath, not too bulky either, and i don't miss the scissors cause i pair it with a micra on my keychain, and if i have the need for the bits, i carry the bit extender, so, for me, the rebar stays as my favorite.

[@adamszulkowski8694]

For me too, nothing better for edc.

[@lovrepeovic]

I find the small flathead/philips very useful, a lot of times just to pick something from a tight spot. Also, you can make holes in softer materials with the small flathead.

[@liamcostello4774]

As you said “or pry tool” my brain went nooooo!!! I’ve had my wave 12 years and take it everywhere...but broke that dang flat about 3 months into owning it and still missing😂

[@savageortiz6401]

Send it back lol.

[@liamcostello4774]

@@savageortiz6401 I've never missed it but yes they'd happily replace the part if I sent it in. Leatherman have above and beyond customer service but that's another story entirely.

[@davemi3213]

I’m rediscovering my wave plus and getting ready for some camping season in Pennsylvania I’m sure I’ll find some use for it daily while camping

[@northwoodsroadwarrior3823]

I use the nylon pouch. The leatherman pouch is well made and the snap is of great quality. Work as a tow truck driver so carry too many tools in my pockets as is. The smooth grip on the plyer handles was a must. Have had many leatherman and love them all. Carry two or three on daily. Each has a specific purpose. Never use the blades though. Have sharpened my fixed blades using the wave plus file n gotten a razor sharp edge surprisingly. Granted with the aid of gun oil.

[@landon798123]

If you do any HVAC work that little flathead comes in handy for replacing or repairing thermostats.

[@franklinocana7984]

I currently own the wave plus its perfect for my needs & I’ve only replaced the pocket clip twice since owning it for over the years so its takes a good beating but well worth it .
