Leatherman 830040 New Wave Multi-Tool with Nylon Sheath |
Rating: 5 (out of 5)
Summary: Great Christmas Gift!!
Comments: I know nothing about tools, however after browsing the products/reviews on amazon I purchased this as a Christmas gift for my fiance. I did not even know that Leatherman was such a popular brand!! His old multi-purpose tool (I found out later, it was also a Leatherman) was dull & the case was falling apart, so I put this shiny1in his stocking and he loved it!! His favorite feature is the that the tools "lock out" when in use. I also purchased him the accompanying bit assortmant, and he was thrilled with that as well. Within 24 hours he had used the knife to open Christmas presents, slice some tape free from a return receipt and secured my mom's toilet seat & lid with the screwdriver & bit assortment kit. I am sure he'll get a lot of use out of it - he said it was his favorite gift!!

Summary: greatbye Swiss Army Knife!!
Comments: Move over Swiss Army Knife - the USA finally has you beat. My nephew knows I am an outdoor nut and I hate having a heavy toolbox, so I am always hunting around for stuff to use. He gave me this as a surprise gift!!
The Leatherman 830040 is unbelievable with nearly20 different tools and all of them are stainless steel, easily maneuverable and sturdy as heck. (Take a look at the list of items in the product description). My favorites are the scissors, the bottle opener, the screwdriver and the bit driver (you can purchase the additional bit kit, pocket clip, or lanyard ring). I see no more need for my Swiss army knife which I thought was unbeatable for all-purpose tool use. The case holds it securely to your belt or in your pocket (measures 4" X 2" X 1" thick) and is closed with a heavy Velcro flap. There is also a small pocket for additional items like other bits. All the tools are thicker and sturdier than my Swiss army knife and the saw and file are honestly heavy duty. The saw and file are tough and I actually ended up cutting myself handling the saw, it is so heavy duty. This is a keeper (not to mention a 25-year warranty).

Summary: Well made multi-tool
Comments: This is by far the almost all popular multi-tool on the market and should last for many years of use. It may be a bit tight when you 1st purchase it, however a little gun oil will loosen it up.
Some have commented about the quality of the new Wave to be less than the original, however I would say that this is still a well made tool. I like Gerber as well, however prefer the more solid feel of Leatherman tools.
The1handed, quick access to the main blades is1of the best features of this tool. The metal is ribbed on the serrated blades release point to differentiate it from the straight blade.
I do not use the included nylon sheath, however it seems of decent quality. |

Summary: great multi-tool
Comments: great multi-tool, this is actually the second I own because I lost the 1st one. however it is a nice multi tool with ething you need. The only gripe I have with it is that sometimes when you try to open it the ends of the pliers get stuck with the scissors. It is pretty annoying, however other than that, its a great tool to go with eday.
