I used my Blast at work today, along with a co-worker who was using a new Wave, and some very interesting things came to light. First, the Blast was able to reach screws better then the Wave since the Screwdrivers are alot longer then the stubby bit drivers on the Wave. As he was hammering a nail into wood, it got stuck behind a plank, and he could no longer hammer it. He tried to use the pliers on his Wave to pull it back out, but the head broke off, leaving a sharp piece sticking out. We both used our files to grind and file it down. Because of the fact that the file opens towards the bottom of the handles on my Blast, as opposed to the top of the pliers on his Wave, I was better able to reach the nail simply by opening up the handle with the file open. I was able to dig in further. My Blast blew his Wave away in performance, and blew me away as well, since I thought the Wave was the better tool.
