*** NOTE: I am reviewing the Leatherman Wave, not the company selling it. Please consider that when voting. ***
I had a great group of guys in my wedding party and I wanted to get them something they might use every day. Now, some of these guys already own multitools or have their own copies, but nobody owned a top-line model from Leatherman. In fact, I think they all had knockoffs.
The difference between a Leatherman and a cheap imitator is huge. Steel quality is measurably better, and tolerances are smaller, so your pliers really grip and your wire cutters really cut. I liked the screwdriver bit size, really slotted in tight on Phillips and slot screws.
Consider, though, that it's a massive tool, so it's reaches the limit (and good arguments are made for exceeding the limit) of usable size and weight, but if you wanted a tool for the work truck or to hang off your work belt "just in case", this and a flashlight are definitely the best "just in case" tools you can own. It does come with a belt case, and the keyring is large enough to take a decent carabiner for clipping onto a belt or a work area for use.
Worth the cost? I'm not sure it's worth it to many, but if you have to own the best multitool possible, you have to consider this as a strong choice. The premium makes this a tremendous gift because it is a fine quality tool. It's usually not something one buys for one's self ("I can live with a cheaper one")... once you get one, you can't ever go back to the knockoffs... you've been properly spoiled.

Customer Review: Best tool to have for anyone
Summary: 5 Stars
I had bought my first Leatherman tool about 5 years ago, after asking someone if they had a pliers or something similar that I needed to get fix something, what I was handed was a Leatherman, I had to have one myself now. On my last trip to Orlando FL, I forgot to put my Leatherman in suitcase there for I had it in my carry-on, at Security I was informed I could not bring it aboard, I told them to keep it I'll get a new one.
This one is the one that I got now, even better then the one I had before! Even a few guys a work bought it as well. Everyone is impressed with the flexibility and all the applications of my new Leatherman! For any one that likes to have tools it is the perfect gift!
Customer Review: Best value/quality in the near full size multi-tool category
Summary: 4 Stars
No issues with the Wave itself. The big problem I have is with the sheath that ships in the blister pack for this particular sku. Even when snapped closed you can easily pull the tool out from either side of the pocket of the sheath. If the sheath is used horizontally, I would certainly lose the tool. It should snap closed further down the sheath. So this sheath for the Wave is a big FAIL. I would say that perhaps this is the sheath for the Super Tool 300 for example, and not correct for the Wave. Just to be sure you folks know that when you receive this item.Customer Review: Buy this for your husband
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this leatherman tool for my husband about 3 years ago and he still tells me all the time that he uses it EVERY SINGLE DAY. A few of the tools have bent with use and he just sends it back and they fix it or send him a new one. The sheath has had to be replaced as well but you would expect that with use in an industrial environment. When we go on vacation he doesn't want to take a chance by packing it in his luggage when we fly and he really misses it!
