could you please (pretty please ...... with sugar on top) produce a Wave or Charge with the longer Phillips screw driver like on the Blast/Fuse/Kick and an awl like on the Core?

Please?

Mike

There's a lot of people think that would be an improvement, but I don't see it myself. Doesn't the bit extender give you the benefits of the longer driver, but still give you the versatility of the bit exchanger?

Don't get me wrong, I love the phillips on the Core (I even made a film about it

), but to shove it in the Wave would limit the Wave's usefulness wouldn't it?

For the most part the stubby, flat bits just seem worthless (to me anyhow). And I like the idea of not having to carry extra stuff with me for the simple majority of what I do. I guess it's just the minimalist in me. I mean, if I need more bits I just make the walk to my toolbox for everything I need. For me, a multi-tool is just for the basics, anything more and I go get what I need. I have a Swisstool, Spirit, and Blast and they get me through most of what I need. Just wish they had outside opening, one handed knife blades.

Horses for courses as they say!

There are some pics on here somewhere of a Blast driver transplanted into a wave I think, and of course Kwakster has done a few of these too. Do you feel brave enough?

Cluck, cluck, cluck.

Besides, I'd like to keep the warranty in tact.

Ah, in which case you'd be best appealing to Tim Leatherman...... oh

Mike · « **Reply #6 on:** March 04, 2009, 01:00:16 AM »

Oh and if Mr. Leatherman is seeing this, rest assured I can do groveling and a fairly convincing bit of begging as well.

I agree with Dave (sorry Mike) I love the long Phillips on the Blast and Core as well but I also love the bit driver

That's what makes this Wave the new Wave

Of course if you did have the dedicated Phillips you could get the adapter for it and still have that versatility

Now I have gone and overthought this and confused myself

So I guess it wouldn't be to bad of an idea
