Customer Review: Leatherman 934850 Quick-Release Pocket Clip and Lanyard Ring
Summary: 5 Stars
Very good addition to the Leatherman Wave. No tools required and it easily attached and detached.Customer Review: Nice addition to any Wave.
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm a bit surprised that the clip and ring aren't included with the Waves, but I guess that's the corporate mentality. These may not be value added for all users and they can turn it into a profit instead of increasing the base price of the multitool.
That said, in response to the other reviews, you don't want to oil the blades so they slip open at the slightest movement. That was the the problem most likely. The other problem is that the clip isn't meant to have the tool on your belt or exposed. It's supposed to go inside your pocket where it has a modicum of protection and the clip only allows it to ride at the top. It's not meant to carry the full weight outside of a pocket or on a belt. The pocket also provides protection of sorts from the blade opening inadvertantly.
I don't use the lanyard ring very often, but when I do, I enjoy the quick release feature. The ring itself is on the sharp and thin side, so over time, it could wear through a lanyard if you don't use a metal connector and just tie it off.
All-in-all, these are a nice compliment to the New Wave, and I recommend them since they aren't that expensive. They do what they are designed to do - if you buy them knowing that, you'll be satisfied.
Customer Review: Use clip with my Wave every day
Summary: 4 Stars
The clip is great. I use it everyday because I prefer to wear my Leatherman Wave on my jeans rather than using the nylon belt-clip holster included with the knife. The clip is well designed and does the trick.
The lanyard ring is indeed quick release but stays on when you need it. I find it less useful than the clip. It is not good for clipping on and off during use.
It was not clear to me when I bought this that the two items were incompatible. They attach to the knife at the same point, so you must choose to use one or the other.
Good accessory. Clip should come standard with the knife.
Customer Review: Makes the Wave that much more useful for every day carry.
Summary: 4 Stars
The Wave is a very handy multitool to have around, but it's a bit to heavy to sit loose in a pocket. With the pocket clip, it is much more comfortable in pocket (at least with jeans). The pocket clip positions the tool deep, as you can see from the image, the top of the tool would be flush with the edge of the pocket (or waistband).
The pocket clip doesn't interfere with use of any of the tools. I have not used the lanyard ring, but it's a good size and should be similarly handy--the built-in lanyard ring interferes with use of the scissors.
Customer Review: Clip gets in the way a little
Summary: 4 Stars
The only complaint I have is that that there is a clip that is always getting caught on things. But I think it can be unscrewed and removed if it becomes very bothersome. The metal isn't as good as some other knives I've had e.g. kershaw, but it is sharp and the edge seems to be holding up ok. I tend to just clip the thing to my belt look with the build in clip/bottle opener. There is no need for any extra sheath or clips so I wouldn't suggest buying the suggested extras unless you really have a specific need for quick release.
