The Leatherman Wave Plus stands out for the high quality characteristic of the Leatherman brand and its refined workmanship. Despite its compact size, it offers a wide set of useful tools and performs well in many applications. Overall, it feels durable and trustworthy – it is a multitool you are happy to carry with you. I also really like the black version, which will probably develop an attractive patina over time.
Leatherman Wave Plus Multitool
The latest edition of Leatherman's most popular multitool. Ergonomic handles, the option to access four tools without opening the pliers—two of which are usable single-handedly—as well as two slots for interchangeable screwdriver bits. Altogether, the upgraded Wave multitool packs 18 functions into a single device.
Constructed entirely from premium-grade stainless steel, professionally heat-treated to ensure each component achieves optimal hardness for its intended application. One of the top-selling models—favored by military personnel and uniformed services alike. Field-tested during deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan! Supplied with a 25-year warranty.
Enhanced version now featuring replaceable wire cutters.
Tools with a locking mechanism
The Leatherman Wave provides not only exceptional functionality and robust durability, but also prioritizes hand safety. Independent Liner Locks secure the external tools, enabling straightforward one-handed operation, while Back Locks—released via a button located on the reverse side of the pliers' handles—lock the remaining tools in place.

In my view, the Leatherman Wave Plus multitool represents the most versatile option among multitools offered on Militaria.pl. Compared to larger models such as the Surge, it provides superior compactness, yet includes a broader range of functions than smaller tools like the Sidekick. A significant benefit is the inclusion of a bit socket. Furthermore, the Wave Plus incorporates replaceable wire cutters, a valuable feature previously absent from the earlier version.

Very good multi-purpose tool, solid coating protects against corrosion, fits the hand perfectly – in my opinion, it's even better than the Charge TTI Plus. I bought it here and I am very satisfied, I sincerely recommend it!
-
It's really easy: durable, multifunctional, and reliable. Well made, with practical features and fits well in the hand. It's my everyday essential now!

About 15 years ago, I had a standard Wave with a personalized engraving, but unfortunately, I lost it over the years. However, I took advantage of an attractive promotion here and bought it again! The Wave+ version is noticeably better – it works more smoothly, and the replaceable blades in the wire cutter are a great option in case they wear out. Additionally, I purchased a set of bits, which makes me feel prepared for any unexpected situations while working outside the home or while on duty, whether it's for repairs or the simplest tasks. I feel ready to work! 💪🏻 As always, the store provided efficient shipping and exemplary notifications.

I’ve had it for over 2 weeks now. The purchased product meets all my requirements. Despite its size and price, it is really well made and has all the necessary gadgets for everyday use. P.S. If someone is looking for a ring to hang it, it is extended next to the wood saw. It’s a bit hard to pull out, but for those who want it, nothing is impossible ;)

Leatherman Wave Plus is a proven, versatile multitool with a practical set of tools. It is durable, comfortable to use, and suitable both for everyday EDC and for outdoor equipment.
-
A very useful and durable tool, made with great care, fits well in the hand. You can feel the weight, but with so many (18) tools, it's understandable. It's nice that you can replace the wire cutter if necessary. This is a very good and versatile tool.
-
Good multitool, well-made, sharp blades that don’t get dull. I have nothing to complain about and I can recommend it to everyone, especially if it’s currently on sale.
-
I have this model and the classic Wave Plus. I think the only difference is the hook with a blade, which is in the model for the Polish army. Honestly, I never needed to use it, but the multitool itself is top class! I highly recommend it.
-
In my opinion, this is the best compromise between weight, size, and the number of tools that are in the multitool. Everything is in its place, build quality - definitely my favorite tool and seriously it's better to spend a bit more and not worry about it.
-
This is already my next Leatherman, it's hard to part with it. Great steel and assembly. Long warranty period. Personally, I had the opportunity to send the multitool to a service center in Germany (Poland is handled there), no proof of purchase was needed, I only paid for the transport, and the turnaround time was fast.
-
A multitool of excellent quality with numerous practical options. Very well made, and the individual tools are durable. It works perfectly both during outdoor activities and for everyday use or in the workshop. It's always easy to have it with you!
-
Solidly made, relatively lightweight multitool with useful tools. Great for EDC. I think it's worth investing in a solid tool that will serve for the next several years, especially for people who will use this multitool from time to time.
-
A classic among multitools, probably the most iconic model ever. Quality itself, style, company history, usefulness, practicality; all this represents the Wave Plus.
-
A well-made multitool that has all the essential tools needed for outdoor activities. I most often use it at the shooting range, where both the screwdriver bits and the pliers come in handy. The pliers work excellently and are fully functional, just like the very sharp knife blade.
