I am very happy with Leatherman services both locally in Taiwan and USA. Currently the distributor for Leatherman in Taiwan is by 業成有限公司. I had send them an email about my first edition Wave defective condition that I bought many years back and they had gladly asked me to return the defective Wave for a replacement. For this matter I give them a Thumbs up!!
Here are the details of my new replacement Wave:
carbon steel is better so the tip doesn't blunt easily
flat head driver, scissor and a small carbon steel flat/cross head bit which is great for spectacles and other small screws
measurement on the handles with both Imperial and Metrics which is great, fully extended, it is 8" long
in order to make the measurement markings more visible, use an alcohol marker and paint over the marking.
afterwhich use a nail polisher or alcohol based solution lightly wipe over with a soft cloth until markings are visible
you can keep your tool in both opened and closed postion
there are 3 internal compartment, either you can store a mini Maglite or tools bits and extender from Leatherman or I have here a knife sharpening stone, magnesium fire starting kit and a whistle
you can vertical loop the pouch over your belt
or horizontally
Overall I must say that Leatherman did a very good upgrade from the pouch to the tools. Comparing to its predecessor, the additional of the internal tool locking device, unit measurements, carbon steel tool bits, new designed tool pouch and the possibility to use different tool bits is very genius idea and thus makes this Leatherman Wave a very powerful and handy tool to work on.
Great write up on the Leatherman Wave Multitool. Its always good to see how others use their tools. Its often the case people use there's for such different purposes to my own. Cheers, G
