Overrated but still great Leatherman claims this is their best selling multitool. Most reviews on Amazon and online forums are super positive. Does the Wave live up to the hype? Yes, to some extent, but it has some issues, mainly cost and weight.The good:This is a nice full-featured multitool. You get one plain-edge and one serrated knife, both can be opened with one hand without opening the whole tool. Useful set of scredrivers: large and medium plain, medium philips, micro plain and philips for eyeglasses. Wood saw, and nice metal file + saw. Can opener and kinda-OK scissors. All in all, good set of tools, and all lock securely in place. Of course, it also has full sized pliers :)The bad:- Heavy: 8.5 oz, or 240 grams. Too heavy to carry in my pants pocket. I don’t carry tools on my belt, but probably this would feel heavy there also.- Because of the outside opening blades, there are sharp edges when the tool is closed, which I can imagine would eat…
