Description of Leatherman 830040 New Wave Multi-Tool with Nylon Sheath

This best-selling multitool has been redesigned, with larger knives, stronger pliers, longer wire cutters and all-locking blades. Manufactured from stainless steel, Wave uses a large bit driver-switch bits for more versatility, using optional bit set (Item# 199142, sold separately). Large knives with big thumbholes can be opened easily with one hand. Strong scissors can cut cloth, plastic and paper.

The Wave multitool's compact folded shape hides a wealth of tools and blades within.
The Wave Multitool From Leatherman: Better than Ever

The most popular full-size Leatherman tool is now better than ever. Larger knives, stronger pliers, longer wire cutters and all-locking blades make the new Wave an essential piece of equipment for any job or adventure. The pliers have been redesigned to withstand more than double the previous squeezing load, and the new bronze bushing makes one-handed knife access a smooth operation -- plus, the one-at-a-time blade selection function means that the tool you want is the tool you get. The versatile Wave comes with a durable and attractive nylon sheath.


The Wave includes several screw bits for added versatility.

Expand your Wave's capabilities with the optional bit kit, pocket clip, or lanyard ring (not included).
User Features

This Wave model has four exterior blades that can be accessed even while the tool is closed. (Note: the knife blade can only be opened when the tool is closed.) You can open the blades with one hand by placing your thumb in the thumbhole at the base of the blade, and rotating until the knife is fully extended. This securely engages the locking mechanism.

The saw and file both have nail nicks at their tips for easy access. The locking mechanism is marked with a padlock symbol on the tool itself. To unlock the blades, all you have to do is press the locking mechanism toward the handle until the blade slides past the lock.

Accessing the interior features is a snap, too -- just grip the handles and rotate them open. Each interior blade can be opened by using the nail nicks. The scissors extend in the very same way, and they lock into place for secure, safe use. And of course, it's easy to change the tool bits, too. Just remove the bit from the driver and pop a new one into place.

Optional Accessories (not included)

Expand your Wave's capabilities with the Bit Kit, offering 21 double-ended bits. Or, you can add a pocket clip and quick-release lanyard ring.

The Leatherman Tool Group and its History of Quality

In 1975, Leatherman Tool Group founder Tim Leatherman was inspired by leaky pipes and a cranky car on a budget trip to Europe -- and thus the idea for his first pocket survival tool was conceived. Since then, Leatherman has become an internationally recognized company with hundreds of employees and a wide variety of durable, versatile, stylish products. Created with bold designs and truly rugged construction, Leatherman products are a perfect addition for tool kits, emergency sets, and glove compartments everywhere.

Tools and Hardware Reviews of Leatherman 830040 New Wave Multi-Tool with Nylon Sheath

Customer Review: Quite good enough, but not perfect.
Summary: 4 Stars

I'll use my Leatherman anywhere from several times a day to constantly, depending on which hobby I'm working on that day. I've had this one for several months now, and so far I like it quite well.

I do find it a bit odd that there is a small rust-colored spot on one of the blades, when it is billed at "100 percent stainless steel". The last Leatherman I used I had for _15 years_, also stainless steel, but never, ever, had anything like rust colored spots. While this makes me question the materials used, and thus possibly the maker's honesty or accuracy in this area. Still, for me this is not causing ANY problems, just questions.

I should make clear that my 4-star, not 5-star rating, is *purely subjective*, based on my strong desire for 2.5" blades most of the time. I will occasionally find myself attending college courses and visiting or crossing other school grounds. And here in California knife blade longer than 2.5" are a felony on any school grounds without prior official permission.

So as great as this Leatherman is in an absolute sense, I'm simply not able to casually take it with me to my machining (!!!) class, or even to pick up kids at school, like I freely can with my old, smaller Leatherman.

I'll be happy to change my rating if someone can turn me on to fully compatible replacement blades in a shorter size!!

But I reiterate, this is a very good product! I'm very pleased so far. But I think Leatherman's entire line would benefit greatly if they offered some variants one could use to replace the defaults. Or perhaps someone will hit me in the head and call me ignorant - with proof. :)
