For a long time, I was wondering which multitool to choose. I’m 35 years old and I was looking for my first proper tool that would work well both for everyday use and out in the field or during training. In the end, I went with the Wave + because it has all the basic functions I need, and on top of that, it’s one of Leatherman’s most popular models. And for good reason. It’s really solid equipment — nothing rattles or feels loose, it sits well in the hand even when operated one-handed, and the grip alone gives you the sense that this is a proper tool made for tougher tasks. It’s neither overly large and heavy nor too small — just well balanced and appropriately sturdy. In the end, I chose the silver version. Not because I liked it the most, but because it seems the most practical to me — scratches will be less visible on it, and there’s no need to worry so much about the condition of the finish. Besides, I carry it in a tactical pouch anyway, so when it’s tucked away in its case, it doesn’t really need to stand out visually.
