But if you want to have a Leatherman wave multi tool, it’s just easy.
Only visit the internet site that provides online store of Leatherman multi tool.
Like here for example:

The difference between Victorinox and Leatherman are this multiple function tool is essentially a pair of pliers with other tools stored in the handles, and generally includes a knife, pliers, screwdriver and assorted other devices. Some tools from Leatherman have as many as 20 tools and weigh up to 12.5 ounces (354 g)
Meanwhile, Victorinox has a more simple design and mysterious, because all the equipment that is stored neatly in the main body.

These are generally chosen for the following qualities:

  • Compact and light (suitable to wear in a belt holster in some applications)
  • Constructed as a single piece with various moving parts, so one component is not lost while using another (except for the New Wave, Surge, and all Charge models, Skeletool and Skeletool CX which all have two-sided removable screwdriver bits)
  • When collapsed for storage, relatively smooth and blunt compared to the equivalent discrete tools, thus reducing frequency of damage to items stored along with it.

Most models of the Leatherman brand have a built-in safety mechanism that locks selected tools in the open position when fully unfolded. Different models have various methods for unlocking the tools. In older models that use “clumping” locks, one of the other tools has to be partly unfolded to release the first one; if all the tools of this model were to be fully unfolded simultaneously, then an external tool might be needed to unlock them.

In 1998, Leatherman used its first button lock on the Crunch tool, allowing each tool to be refolded. In 1999, Leatherman began using liner locks on the blades of the Wave tool, which allowed it to be accessed without unfolding the entire tool.

The Leatherman Tool Group was founded by Timothy S. Leatherman, a 1970 graduate of Oregon State University who majored in mechanical engineering. According to a December 10, 1981 column written by Bill Monroe in The Oregonian, Leatherman came up with the idea of a “Boy Scout tool with pliers” during a 1975 driving tour of Europe with his wife, when he was unable to use his pocket knife to fix his repeatedly malfunctioning car.

  1. [...] you want to clean or fix your Leatherman multitool you need 2 torx screwdrivers, because the screws on the other side will spin as you turn them. [...]
