This is my first multitool — I was hesitating between the Wave and the Skeletool CX. It looks very good and gives the impression of high-end equipment; I hope it will prove the same in use. The shipment arrived quickly, within 4 days, and the promotional price was 92 euros.

In my assessment, the Leatherman Wave Plus multitool stands out as the most well-rounded option among multitools offered on Militaria.pl. It surpasses the larger Surge-type models in terms of compactness and outperforms smaller Sidekick-type models in overall functionality. A key advantage is the slot for interchangeable bits. Additionally, the Wave Plus is equipped with replaceable wire cutters, which were absent from the previous version.

Review summary
Leatherman Wave Plus receives very positive feedback as a durable, versatile, and well-designed multitool for everyday carry, work, home use, and outdoor tasks. Users praise its build quality, secure locks, convenient tool access, sharp blades, effective pliers, and strong balance of size, weight, and functionality. Many say that with extra bits and accessories, it can replace a small toolbox, while the long warranty adds confidence in the product. The most common drawbacks are the high price, missing clip or sheath in some sets, stiff action at first, small scissors, lack of spring-loaded pliers, and average blade steel. In the black version, some users also note that the coating can rub off and stain hands. Despite these issues, the overall opinion is that it is one of the best and most versatile multitools in its class.

The best multitool from Leatherman in my opinion. It is simply made so well that there is nothing to complain about. The only model that I think is competition is the more expensive Free P4. The Surge is a much larger multitool, so I do not compare it.
-
I have had the Wave Plus since March this year and so far it has not let me down even once; a big advantage is that the knife is accessible without opening the whole multitool.
-
Since I already own the Surge model, this one — smaller and lighter, perfect for everyday carry — turned out to be a gift that brought the recipient tremendous joy! These are real gems: excellently made, durable, and above all equipped with everything a good DIY enthusiast needs on a daily basis. I wholeheartedly recommend the Leatherman brand, and especially the iconic Wave Plus model. It is simply something worth having! In addition, the online store’s customer service, fulfillment time, and prices are of the highest standard. You can shop without any worries!

Very well made. I think the list price of 649 PLN is a bit exaggerated; fortunately I bought it at a nice discount for 519 PLN. At that price, I think it is definitely worth it. As for the tools, the serrated blade is very good, especially for cutting thick ropes, which would have been hard to do with a regular blade. However, the multitool also has a significant drawback, namely the very small scissors; they should be enough for nails or very fine cutouts, but for nothing heavier. If they were 0.5 cm larger, it would be a completely different level of comfort in use. As for the pliers, I would apply reinforcement on their sides with about 2 mm of additional metal (as in the Surge) to increase durability. I also have reservations about the file; it is not the best file I have seen in my life. For light tasks it will probably be enough, but it is rather uninspiring.

The Leatherman Wave Plus is absolutely amazing and in a class of its own. All the tools lock securely, and the build quality is flawless. The best multitool I have ever had. I definitely recommend it.
-
This order was for a friend who wanted to have a second Wave because he considers it the most practical. The promotional price was the deciding factor in the purchase.

I've owned it for almost a year now and it's worth the money; it's already done quite a lot. The build quality far surpasses the knock-offs from the Middle Kingdom, and before that I thought their quality was fairly decent — I couldn't have been more wrong. With the addition of an adapter and bits, you basically have a whole toolbox in a compact form.
-
A very good tool — lightweight, yet equipped with everything needed. It stands out for its excellent build quality and attractive appearance. I use it almost every day, and it would be hard for me to do without it because it offers more than other multitools.
-
A very practical multitool. This is the first Leatherman I own. Despite using it for only a short time, it has already proven to be a very helpful and useful tool for small repairs in the field, such as tightening a bicycle brake cable or removing a splinter — the pliers are excellently fitted, especially their thin tip. It’s worth starting your adventure with the Leatherman brand with this model.
-
A versatile and practical tool. It feels very durable and reflects the character of the brand well. It's just a pity that there is no case included in the set. Delivery was very fast, and the package was carefully prepared.
-
I carry the Leatherman Signal every day and use it practically daily, maybe except for the whistle and the fire starter. My cousin is turning 18 soon and plans to become a professional driver, so I wanted to give him something solid. He will get the Wave+ model, and I think he will be very pleased with it. The set does not include a textile sheath, and information about this appears only in the technical specifications.
-
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.
-
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!
