I find myself wanting a Surge again , had a few in the past but gave them away to friends. I don't know though.... my belt of 10 years finally broke last week. Guy I'm too hefty or the tool was. I'm blaming that weighty Wave . ::) ::) ::) :DYeah. I'm blaming the MT weight for my belt issue too! :like:
Just think how quickly your belt wouldThe Surge is incredibly light....If you take into account the strength, size and functionality. But, you're right, it'll make a belt sag a bit over time. :ahhh
of broken with the Surge hanging of it :rofl: :facepalm:

You need one, W! :pok: :D
We should just NOT pay our bills and buy our Wave+ and Surge. :cheers:Where were you with this sage advice on Friday? Huh? On Friday I paid $1200 to the mechanic and $600 to the plumber. I don't think I'll be buying any more knives or tools for the rest of the year. :rant:
So is the only difference between the wave and wave plus the new pliers ?

. All tools open nicely, no rubbing.

Pacu, what about the plier head on the handle channel? That rubbing, which scratches up the head, drives me crazy given the price of the tool and attention to detail elsewhere.

One more pic never hurt.
Will do my best not to let it become a shelf queen. :salute::sa: :sa: :sa: are you sure GLBM that’s not like you :tu:
I plan on using the one on the way, but will order another at some point(maybe a month or so from now) that won't be used. :facepalm:Will do my best not to let it become a shelf queen. :salute::sa: :sa: :sa: are you sure GLBM that’s not like you :tu:

I’m very impressed with the quality of the Wave+ :tu:
And the Wave + itself, well ... ::)
I must say that his one looks like a Leatherman from 15 years ago. Not one thing wrong with it (okay, there was one thing, one of the screws from the replaceable wire cutters wasn't screwed in deep enough, and it touched the handles when closing the tool, but this was fixed in two seconds and with two twists of the wrist ;)).
But the rest of the tool feels just perfect, nothing rubbing, nothing too loose or too tight, handles perfectly aligned (the tool lies perfectly flat on the table, not like most Spirits :pok:). And every part of the tool, inside and outside feels just perfect. This Wave + is possibly the Leatherman with the best fit and finish since, dare I say ... My original Supertool :D.
Okay, my Charges (date codes 0808), my previous Wave (date code 0111) and the two 25th Anniversary Waves (date codes 0408) I recently bought also had great fit and finish, maybe the Wave/Charge platform is just Leatherman's A-game. I must say, all of my previous Wave/Charge tools had the pliers rubbing against the handles while closing the tool, scratching up the plier head along the way, the new Wave + (at least the one I own :P) does not seem to have this "problem". This is not a big thing, since it's a tool and pliers are bound to get scratched up during use, but still, I hope this means that Leatherman have stepped up their game, and that their QC issues have been dealt with ... If not, I guess I should just be happy that I was one of the lucky ones this time ... ;)
P.S.: I also bought it because this one doens't have the "+" on the handles (yet ?). If the next batch comes out and those have Wave + on the handles, I will be very happy that I got one of the first batch (collectors ... ::)).
Pics as promised.Excellent collection GLBM as always :like: :like: :tu:
And some other LMs came to greet the BO Wave+. :)

We would love to have you join the challenge PacuThis one is gonna be a tidal wave of a challenge! :like:
And anyone else who has any gen Wave
As this challenge is for all Waves :tu:
Its because that's the new plier design.
The Wave in the pic is stamped 03-23-18
Is there any benefit for why they changed the pliers design :think:
:iagree:I couldn't agree more! :cheers:
My Vic Spirit S has got damaged teeth at the front caused by the previous owner. These are very fine too and therefore less durable.
And face it, how many times do you use pliers for that ultra fine pulling work? You'd need tweezers for that :pok:
I don't think this is a bad move from LM... at all!
But then if you don’t want teeth marks:iagree:
You shouldn’t use pliers
Only the correct tool for the job :pok:
So I take it there is no longer a problem with the pliers :tu:
But then if you don’t want teeth marks:iagree:

I see that more as a emergencyBut then if you don’t want teeth marks:iagree:

What if you don't have the correct tool for the job? ???
Sometimes all a man has is a set of pliers, a little ingenuity, and some determination. :multi: :viking:
That would be a excellent idea Pacu :cheers: :like:So I take it there is no longer a problem with the pliers :tu:
Not sure yet for me on if I like this new design yet or not. I wish there was some way I could use it exclusively for about a month straight , test all the design features, post some action pics, give some insight, and draft up a summary. ::) ::) :D :D
Maybe we could call it a 30 day challenge :think: :D
It just came to me out of nowhere :dunno: :DMaybe we could call it a 30 day challenge :think: :D
30 days does have a nice ring to it. :salute:
