I have to admit that multi tools are so useful when you need
to travel light. I also think that I have found the
best multi tool for the
money. I never really used any multi tool before because I always thought that
a multi tool would be not as good as a good set of dedicated tools. Sure, that
thought still stays, but when I actually started to use one, I have realized why
people at
multitool.org speak highly about them. Reality is that I had some bad
experience with multi tools in the past, because I bought a $10 Chinese multi
tool (which I can’t remember the name). The tool basically broke after just a
few uses. So, since that experience, I gave up with multi tools. … Until I saw
one, it is a
Leatherman Wave, the NEW Wave to be exact. I started reading its review and
found a great multi tool comparison table, and I thought why not give it a try. To be
honest with you, I was wondering if I will waste money one more time because it
is quite pricey. But I was amazed with how useful and strong the tool is.
Overall, the tool has 16 tools, and the few most pronounced things are very
sharp knife blades and good pliers. This model has 2 versions, one with and other
without electric crimper. The one with the crimper is what I bought. If you do
not use crimper often, you can get the normal version. Other than the tool
itself, I also bought the optional bit driver and driver extender which add
more tools and versatility to the multi tool overall.
