I have the original Wave that I bought in 1999.  This was my first "real" multi tool (my "first" was a $7.00 no-name piece of junk I got at a auto parts store - I still have it somewhere in the garage), and I got it because of the outside locking blades.  After reading an article on duty blades, the author made a good case for carrying the Wave over carrying just a locked blade knife.  I found a sporting goods store that had the Wave on sale, and bought one.  Unfortunately, the Wave came with a brown leather sheath (I needed a black nylon sheath for my Sam Browne), so it took awhile before I found a suitable sheath and was able to carry it at work.  The Wave has come in handy many times, and has never let me down.  I have since started carrying a Charge AL at work (due to having all locking tools), and now use the Wave during my off hours.

If there was one feature I;d change on my Wave 2.0 would be to remove the never used flat screwdriver blade and replace it with an awl /w thread loop.

Don't have the tools to modify the flat screwdriver blade into a make-shift awl w/ thread loop or I would of long ago.
Anyone know where to get such and awl blade to fit into a Wave?

I love the Wave and Charge Series,  as they have the same based tool inside..

I'm in!  I have an original Wave that was my only multi and edc for about 5 years.  Then I found this place and it's been down hill from there.  It's now retired in favor of newer models, but I still get it out to reminisce from time to time.  Mine is an early 2004 model, so it must have been one of the last produced before the change over to the newer model.

My wife has a New Wave which she uses and carries quite often.  I don't get along too well with the newer model, but I'm thinking of moding one to include dedicated drivers which would make it more appealing to me. 

Anyway...  LONG LIVE THE WAVE!   :multi:

Look on the inside of the handles; deploy the inner tools and you should see four numbers; the first two numbers indicate the month, while the last two indicate the year the handles were stamped out. :)  The handles might've been stamped in different months/years, too, so it just depends. :)

The "A" and "B" tags have been used on and off; thus far I've seen Waves, primarily, with the tags, though I do recall either a Mini Tool, ST200, Juice, or some other tool with similar end annotations. :)

sorry for slightly OT. where to find the date code on skeletool?
Title: Re: Wave Owners Club
Post by: Sazabi on July 23, 2010, 02:27:31 AM
It was my understanding that Skeletools were not stamped with date codes.  Someone at one time had mentioned to Leatherman to begin stamping them, due to the fact that we, the collectors, like things like that.  I don't believe it came to fruition, however, due to mostly a lack of space on the inner handles to allow for stampings.  Don't quote me on this last bit, because there may very well be some with date codes, I can't say either way, though, since I've not even handled a Skeletool in person. :/

ive never owned one but thought it would be what i end up with, but after having a few MT's now ive still gone back to wave, i find its got all the tools i need, i dont use a awl so no need for one, i use the scissors now and then but do carry a classic but its nice to have scissors on your main tool as like when i go camping next week angie will take here keys and i wont so i wont miss the classic, i use both saws , the diamond file gets a lot of action, drivers are a must and with added modded bits i get the extra reach, the main blade probably gets the least use, but OH is handy,the pliers are spot on as are the cutters, i was cutting bicycle spokes a few days ago as making wire lugs for a old style watch case and they cut them easy, all in all a great alround tool,

The first multi tool I ever bought was a new Wave.  I got it on my birthday.  I have the pocket clip/lanyard and bit kit with extension for it.  There is no doubt that it is a very nice multi tool and I am happy with it.  It is not as robust feeling or as smooth as my Sog Powerlock but that is ok. The only real complaint I have is that the tools can be hard to open for someone with short or non-existent fingernails.  :)  That is not the fault of the tool, I just have to learn to not bite my nails.    I know that I have a quality multi that will serve me well.  No I do not carry it everyday, but that is why we have a few to choose from and use, right?  :)

The 20th Sig. Wave is probably my "rarest" Leatherman (along with maybe the Camo Juice - I've only ever had one chance at either)!

My 2nd favourite Wave though would be the 25th 2HO version shown in the pic - you don't see too many of those around either :)

An usefull Wave without proper sheath to carry and protect is a kind of waste especially when you misplaced it.
Guys.. proud to present my latest leather work (leather sheath for my new Wave)

I personally hate it. It is big and bulky and holds the tool slightly loose in the sheath. The tool can also be removed through the side without even opening the front flap. I just refuse to carry any MT in that sheath. If it works for you than i'm happy but beware your MT is at risk of being lost especially if you carry horizontally.

After looking a little closer at the sheath. You are right it will come out the side. What I will do is just to add another snap on it to make it a little tighter. That will hold it until I figure a way to make a custom kydex and leather sheath for it.

Doesnt see much carry ATM,unless I'm off mountain biking,or its a special occasion where I need the extra capacity and confidence.As much as I've learned to love my Fuse,and have a real SOG addiction,they all fall short of the Glory of Wave

My Wave is the latest addition to a slowly growing collection og LM tools... Original PST, Super Tool, Skeletool (with half serrated 154CM blade), and now the latest Wave. Every single one is in use, albeit for different puposes.
Wondering when I'll find an excuse to buy another one, and what type it'll be :)

Definitely will  :D I plan on taking some "out of the box" pics, then I'm taking it out on a hike this weekend. Hopefully I can see what kinda damage I can do! Of course I will document this with pictures too.


You brought a tear to my eye.  :D

Well now I have pics to update. I also made a kydex sleeve to keep the wave from falling out of the sheath. I went a little different route as I added a felt lining inside the kydex to protect the wave.

No it works perfectly. I made it just snug enough to fit the sheath a little tight. There's still room for the bit kit or whatever else I need to put in it.

while I'm normally happy to see an update on a MT, I do think LM have others to look at first.  The Juice is 10 years old now and, while I like them just fine, there is definitely room for improvement.

Very true.  I like the jeese as well, but the inner tools(mostly those evil flatheads) need some thought.  That and the stupid bottle opener needs to go.

Agree with this.  The new Wave is outstanding.  While I carry a Charge ALX as my EDC, it's only because I don't need a scissors on the farm.   (Plus, I consider the Wave and Charge to be the same tool series).

I tend to have a very strong positive/negative reaction on first holding a new MT and, despite giving all my MT's a fair chance, I'm don't often change my mind.  The only notable exception would be the Spirit, I was very cool towards it when I first handled one, now it's my favourite MT.  Well the Wave gave me a good vibe right from the get go, despite the fact there are a couple of aspects I'm not so keen on, it just feels like a hard working tool. :tu:

I cant argue with that gareth, its such a cool versatile tool, it stills looks as hightech now as it did when first came out, just wish they kept the original scissors, its my only gripe  ;)

Post by: Sean on October 07, 2011, 01:54:51 AM
I have to say I'm so far very impressed with the old style wave!  Long driver bits, albeit
they don't lock it doesn't really matter to me on most uses.  The outside opening tools
don't rub against the scales, the pliers are smoother than on my charge series units and
they don't bind when squeezed like the newer heads do.  Also, there aren't those annoying
little metal stubs inside where the tools are, that catch when closing the whole thing up
after use.  I'm a fan of the original wave.  :salute:

It doesn't bother me. I'd rather have a tightly secured tool than loose parts.

Little wear doesn't bother me, eventually it'll smooth out anyway.

Btw, does anyone use oil lubricants on the bolt fittings? I want to lubricate mine so my pliers are easily opened. I'm a fan of one-handed opening multi-tool like ny SOG. If so, what oil lubricants would you recommend?

I occasionally oil with a fire arm oil... I forget the name. Little black bottle. Stuff doesnt evaporate like wd40. It's more for oxidation protection if it gets wet though... Or to loosen up gunk. I dont find much functional advantage tho

With the nylon sheath I will just take all the bits I am going to use and put them on one of the holders and only carry half of the bits. Just carry your most used bits. Did you get the extended driver. Also I don't remember, if the premium sheath has a spot to slide in a bit kit behind the tool.  :think:

I have to say it ( I hate the premium sheath)  :(
Title: Re: Wave Owners Club
Post by: Outback in Idaho on October 15, 2011, 05:04:00 AM
Has anyone found a mulch-sectional plastic or aluminum tube/container of sorts, where bits can be stacked on end inside? Have a cap over it with a wide enough clip to go over the side elastic pockets to be more secured in. Sure would come in handier than carrying two sheaths.

Or someone could made a mold to make a vertical bit holder that hold Leatherman's flat bits in, then double team them and slide in the rear elastic pocket. Those could be easy to churn out with an MTO logo and help raised funds for the site.  :D

Post by: The Copilot on October 15, 2011, 05:16:41 AM
Here's a pic of a Surge in a Premium Leather/Nylon sheath with both bit cards.  The Wave should work similarly.  One bit card goes in the front pocket and the other goes in the main pocket behind the tool.  Face the bits towards your body and the the Wave ride against the back side of the bit card.

It would be rude not to join the club . I've been a Wave owner for a couple of years .Recently I sold off my user and now I've decided to put my BO drawer queen into EDC rotation  :drool: I've had it for a while but I was away from the forums for a bit and never posted any pics  :twak: I'll find them up and post them later or I'll take some more today .

 :D.. :think: i need to update mine club 'points'... a used 20th Anniversary Wave actually arrived 2 months ago :twak:  but so busy with site works that i forget that i actually 'had' it.
It got returned back to Leatherman before shipping for plier pivot works due to extreme binding when folded close, so practically a 'new'ish' plier head with original 20th Anniversary scale.. ;)

hmm. weeks ago a signature 20th Anniversary edition goes a loooong way off a 25th Anniversary Charge TTI Silver Sterling!...just curious on the price wise.. :think:

My Wave arrived today. I've took it out of the box and immediately noticed that something is wrong. I was very hard to open. None of my other Leathearmans was so stiff out of the box. I've inspected the tool and there was nothing wrong with it from the construction standpoint but it was dry as hell. Judging by the date stamps it was in the warehouse for over a year and all the factory lubricant just dried out so I've decided to take it apart (you can call it training for plier head transplant I'm planning when my Charge TTi comes back), clean all the old lubricant with my trusty 99.9% Isopropyl Alcohol and lubricate it with Victorinox Oil. All went well but it took me 2 hours and my Wave now works perfectly >:D

The black blade is from a black XTi that I am modding into something else that doesn't need the blade and the stainless one is also from a defunctional XTi that I modded into the Mjolnirman.

The thumb studs are made from shards of aluminum press fit into the thumbhole, then a circular hole was machined out and then a turned stud was press fit into place (with some super glue for extra security). The thumbstud on the giant awl was done but heating the specific area with a butane torch until it lost its temper and a hole drilled out (the rest is unaffected)

A couple of 25th Anniversary Waves, one with a special "25 YEARS" logo."  The former owner of it tells me it was a prototype that Leatherman briefly considered, before going with the standard one. :salute:

Title: Re: Wave Owners Club
Post by: Benner on January 02, 2012, 01:41:38 PM
Ok.  If I must.  :D

My previous rants sum it up well, so here is a cut and paste...
The first thing I don't like is the number of flat headed screwdrivers.  Why have 4 ???  That just seems such a waste to me which brings me on to my second issue which is that it doesn't have an awl.  I just cant understand why Leatherman would see it a better option to have 4 flat head screwdrivers over 3 with an awl. :think:

I also really don't like how much flex there is in the handles.  As I have a few other LM's, including the PST and Supertool, this was really disappointing as one thing I always liked about LM was how strong they felt.  I could cope with it if it was just noticable when using the pliers, but it is also quite noticable when using one of the screwdrivers (one of the FOUR flatheads I expect  ::)).

I don't like the liner locks either.  When I received my Wave one of the locks was broken, so it was sent off to LM to be repaired where they actually replaced both handles with new parts.  When I got it back, I tried it and noticed that the lock didn't really engage very well on one of the blades ( a common find with these and the Charge I hear) and that it failed very very easily.  This lock now engages much further but still fails very easily with just a lightish tap on the top of the blade.  This admittedly could probably be fixed by LM though.

Lastly (yes the rant is nearly over  :D) I think that my major dislike with this tool is how disappointed I am with it.  I expected so much more from it TBH as I always considered the Wave (or Charge) to be the "ultimate" multitool and I guess that by getting one and not really liking it just makes me even more sour about it.
Title: Re: Wave Owners Club
Post by: 5hif7y on January 02, 2012, 06:14:34 PM
i see your point. for me the screw drivers are great as i dont need a awl but do need a selection of drivers for my standard day at work. i prefer the newer model though with the bit exchanger its easer for me to have the right tools with me. i never noticed any problems with the locking blades but i could of been a lucky one.

new model is much better than the old one IMHO.

I've said it before, I have a love hate relationship with the wave.  I just don't like the tiny little detent on the liner lock that holds the blade in the closed position.  I have zero faith that it will stay tight beyond even a year of use.  Between that and the fact that a Skeletool blade(same concept, different tool) came out while I was using the tool as a screwdriver and you have a bad vibe. 

If they would make a serious effort in demonstrating a firm detent system then I would be more apt to buy a wave and EDC it.  My blast blade CAN'T come open on my because of the inherent design: the handles are closed with the blade stuck inside them while you are using the drivers.  Even if the blast itself becomes loose and the handles start opening too easily, you can tighten them up.  Heck, I've even bent the part that engages the plier wedges back with a hammer and a punch to tighten the tool up.  I just prefer the simple, effective design of the Blast and it's ilk to the Wave and it's OHO novelty.  I carry at least one other blade with me at all times so I don't really need to get at the blade on my MT with lightning speed.
Title: Re: Wave Owners Club
Post by: Gareth on January 02, 2012, 11:33:13 PM
I'm surprised as to just how much I do like the Wave.  It's got a lot of potential shortcomings that put me off getting one for a long time. 

Primarily the fact I'm a south paw and the Wave most certainly isn't really put me off.  Also I've no real love for the bit driver (that I'd used on the Skele) and definitely not the small bit driver (that I owned, and never used, on my Blast).  I have however managed to get past all these and found myself actually liking the Wave. :tu:  Though still not the small bit driver, I've yet to use that for anything. ::) :D

Posted elsewhere but here's how I managed to OHO and right handed blade with my left hand.
Left handed OHO of Wave. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5Ni-AUN3D4#)
Not nearly as quick or smooth as it would be right handed, but at least it works and is safe. :)

Title: Re: Wave Owners Club
Post by: MTguy on January 02, 2012, 11:55:30 PM
I've been edc'ing a wave and a skeletool for acouple years now and I've never had the blades open up on me. I've even dropped them many times and the blades have never moved past the detent, and when the pliers are out on the wave both blades are locked closed.

I don't think OHO is a novelty, on an edc tool i'm not a fan of having to completely unfold the tool, search for the blade, open it, and then close the tool so I can now use my blade. I've edc'd my wave more than any other MT or folder that I own and it's been by far the most useful and the least novelty.

I think the bit driver is a good idea, even if you don't want to carry around bits it still has a phillips and a flat bit that came in the driver, which is just as much as most tools... It would be nice if it had more reach though. I agree the small bit driver is pretty useless, I've only used it once on a pair of glasses.

YMMV

I read a thread on another forum a few months ago, about a poster who dropped his Wave while at work.  When the poster reached down to pick the Wave up off the floor, he noticed one of the knife blades had opened up.  The poster said that if he had just "grabbed" the tool off the floor (like he normally would have done), he would have been cut very badly.  Because of this, the poster said he "immediately" gave this Wave (and his back-up Wave) away to co-workers, and went back to carrying another model (I forgot which one) where the handles have to be opened to retrieve the blades.

@MTguy

Perhaps novelty is too strong a word for it, but I am just not a fan of the OHO system on the wave.  IMHO, the thumb hole is an awkward shape and a poor substitute for the spyderhole.  The liner lock, while a decent design, is sometimes executed poorly and it DOES make it past QC as Benner's story indicates.  The detent is just too small for me to be comfortable with, in my experiences tools get a bit loose over time.  Heck, my original PST(before I lost it) was so loose you could flick open the handles like a butterfly knife then flick the blade out.  It didn't extend all the way every time but you get the picture.  After some tightening it was back to factory tightness and function.  The problem with the wave is, after you wear down that little nib that holds the blade in, you can't just wrench down on the handles to hold it anymore because then you'll have a hell of a time opening the tool. 

I agree with the bit driver as well, I like it and wish they made it an option for the blast.  As for the blades coming open while driving screws, I have found that it may be a result of my technique when working a tough fastener.  It doesn't happen every time but that skele was in a position to cut me to the bone had I not been paying attention. 

This is just my very personal opinion about one facet of what I still think is a good tool all around, so please take no offense.  I see MANY people both here and in my personal life who love the wave and will buy no other.  I don't see myself as right or wrong, I just prefer the traditional style MT over the Wave.  heck, how many people talk about the Blast?  Not many, which means a lot of folks have issues with it not unlike my issue with the wave.  A ton of people hate that mini driver but It handles my glasses with ease, I could not do without it. 

Point is, as you said, YMMV.  And on this forum, we have traveled a TON of miles.


Cap

I always check my tools and knives before I pick them up after dropping them, I learned that one the hard way!  :D

5hif7y

I happen to really like the appearance of the Skele, but the same detent issue prevents me from really wanting to carry it.  If both these tools had a better blade detent, even just a larger one, I would definitely carry them!

I'm with you all the way there Merc  :tu: I tend to carry some of the less popular tools too. Are they categorically better than any other tool? Nope, just better for me (in certain settings). I'm a big advocate in trying lots of different things before deciding what works best for you, and often found myself rather surprised with the results. My modified (empty handled) Wave that I use for work is at home needing a thorough clean down, so I nearly put a Blast in my pocket today - switched it for the MP700 at the last moment, which many people would avoid like the plague

The problem with the wave is, after you wear down that little nib that holds the blade in, you can't just wrench down on the handles to hold it anymore because then you'll have a hell of a time opening the tool.
I can't agree with that. From my experience (I've disassembled the Wave about 6 times past few days just for fun, now I'm out of thread locking fluid and the tool tends to unscrew itself with use :D) you can tighten the handle screws that hold external blades and plier head so much that it's impossible to open any blade with one hand and still have no problems opening the pliers.   :pok:

So even if you wear out the nib it is possible to tighten the tool enough that the bleed won't open by itself.

PS. I'm also not a huge fan of small bit driver.

@Mercury

I took no offense to it, and I didn't mean any in my post. It's a good forum because everyone can share their opinions. Everyone has different needs for their MT so a tool that might be perfect for some people may not suit another person as well. Also even though a wave is a wave, quality control is never the same on every tool made so my experiences are not going to be the same as everyone's.

I do agree the thumbhole is no spyderhole and I do like to carry a dedicated folder whenever I can. If i'm carrying a folder I don't care if my MT is OHO or not, actually my last 3 tools have all been "traditional" MT's. But when I can't carry a folder or if I don't want to then the wave is my first choice.

I don't have any experience with the blast, I've just never had the opportunity to play with it, i'll keep my eye out for one though. I just bought a ST300 and I love it, it's just a little big for edc Lol.

I know what you mean about the mini-driver, it's kind of a love-hate thing because I've only used it once or twice but when I needed to it was a huge saver. It's just the least used implement on my wave.

As far as the skeletool goes, I like the design, the weight, and all the carry options it has but I don't edc it as much as I thought I would. If I don't care about the weight then I carry a slightly heavier and larger tool for more functionality. And when I do care about the size/weight I find myself just carrying a SAK. That being said I still really love the tool and I think it's a pretty innovative tool.

I took no offense to it, and I didn't mean any in my post. It's a good forum because everyone can share their opinions. Everyone has different needs for their MT so a tool that might be perfect for some people may not suit another person as well. Also even though a wave is a wave, quality control is never the same on every tool made so my experiences are not going to be the same as everyone's.

No worries, I don't think anyone was offended here!   :D

I was just giving my (redundant) opinion and you know what they say about those...  ::)

I believe I've kicked the proverbial dead horse with my thoughts on the wave, so I won't proffer any more until directly asked.  Or until it's mentioned in another thread and I've had a few too many!

I totally agree about the ST300.  It's a fantastic tool but for me at least is is too large for a comfortable EDC.  The blast fits my hands very well and since it has been on my belt for the longest, it stays there.

This forum IS a great place to voice your opinions and would be quite dull if all of the opinions on here were the same.

I seem to have the newer version with the awl, but I don't understand the separate tiny screwdriver as a stand alone.  Upon looking at it two things come to mind.  One, why couldn't they have made a normal bit insert that has that small of a blade or philips head.  Second, if they wanted to keep the small metal pin, why not create an aluminum insert for the normal bit holder that just had the same hole as the small screw driver stand alone holder.  The stand alone is the same thickness if not thinner than the normal bits.  If they did that then the tiny screwdriver could be a some other big tool. Don't know what that would be, but the more the better.

EDIT:

I actually have a Surge, but the same thing applies to the Wave or any of the LM's with a bit holder.

Hi Gang,
My Birthday was Tuesday, i received a new wave from my better half. I guess all my hints
paid off  :P so yes please count me in..

I have a question, I know there built to tight tolerances but some of the smaller inner tools such as the small bit driver and large bit driver are a bugger to get out, i have been working them and seem to still be a bit tight, i was wondering if its ok to use Graphite for a lube i use it for locks and it works
wonders.. Thank You in advance

Congrats on getting a Wave for your Birthday  :cheers: They are a great tool . I wouldn't have thought a bit of graphite would hurt at all . Let us know if it does the trick .They can be a bit tight at first . The funny thing is the last Wave I got was a bit too loose out the box and I had to tighten it up .

****UPDATE****
I used the Graphite for the lube and worked great, I really dont care to use oil or WD40 on any of my knives, its a dirt & dust attractor, its messy, smells ect...Give it a try next tyme you clean and lube your multitool i think you'll like the results...

Just picked one up a few minutes ago from home depot. I've been thinking about getting one for a while and after reading this thread I was pretty sure that's what I wanted. I have the skeletool and a SOG power assist already, but I needed more tools than the skeletool, but something smaller than the SOG and this seems to fit the bill perfectly. Plus the pouch will hold my flashlight, firesteel and emergency whistle (My camping/hiking essentials)

I've had my Wave since they originally came out. I kept hinting for one after LM introduced them, and wouldn't you know my sister bought me a Gerber Legend for Christmas! :rant: When she went to purchase it, the salesman told her the Wave looked "cheap and flimsy" while the Legend was all that and a bag of chips.

I had to buy it myself. I might forget to go out without clean underwear on, but if I'm ever in an accident, I'll at least have my Wave!

My old one was made in '07 or '08 and this new one is from '11. I noticed a few little tweaks that they added like the bronze washers and radiused lock face. It's a sweet little tool  :multi:

I´m a bit slow I guess. I have had a Gerber that I have been running everyday since 93-94.
This Christmas I bought my Wave that I love.
But one thing is bothering me.

A while a go I ordered the bitextender  I was also supposed to get the bitkit but they were out.

Well I wanna try and put the bit from the wave in the extender.Click, nice and easy but man is it stuck !
It took me three days with two pliers and a lot of oil to get it out. I had to try again if i did something wrong and it is stuck again. :twak:

So am I just stupid(probably) or to weak or is there  a trick I don´t know about or a law that says don´t put THAT  bit in the extender ? :think: :think: :think:
Does anybody know ?

Mine came that way as well, super tight, so i sprayed WD-40 in there i mean i drowned it in the stuff let it sit for a bout half n hour, got my vise grips clamped that bad boy on the bit, n pulled and it popped out then i just got a lil fine grit sand paper and took that black coating off the bit, just enough to get the coating off not really take any metal away, but before i tried putting it back in i sprayed WD-40 in the extender kept the bit in the vice grips and worked it in n out many tymes, then flipped the bit and worked the other end in there like i did on the previous side. Hope it works for ya if not your going to have to heat it up to get it out that should be the last resort...

Thanks for the tips and the welcoming. I will definitely try that.
There is metal ring in the extender that grabs a notch in the bit. Maybe to tight. I was thinking of taking that of but will wait until I can try how the other bits is fitting.

I bought my first Wave in 1998 and of course was the original wave, the MT I had been using for long time (12 years) but unfortunately was stolen from my truck, after that, I got the new Wave in 2008 and I still have with me,
Definitely a very good MT, however, sometime I still miss the original version, probably I will get it when I have a chance..

Hi all, new boy here(have to be honest been lurking for a while)
I went with the Bo version,(wildlife photographer mixed with camping so stealth was a good choice i think,thats my excuse anyway :D)
You Guys weren't joking about the blade edge varying,i find myself using the serrated edge for tasks around the house(opening boxes and bags etc)until i put a sturdy edge on the primary blade,all in all though a very decent edc MT.
I admit i have been lurking but your advice and knowledge has been great for us lurkers too(thought it was time to come out of hiding) so thank you all,

I would love to see pics, because the space might be intentional for added grip.  If it tapers away from the tip toward the center then they meant for it to happen.  The pliers grip better if they don't meet flush all the way across when closed.

It may sound wierd but my first tool was the original WAVE when it first came out.  I have since bought nearly every Leatherman that they make.  I like both of my WAVES better than them all, including my Charges Tti, Ti, AL, ALX, and SLV.  They are all great, I just like the feel of the stainless stell.

My entry to the owners club,

A Wave 1M (modified)

The story goes:
"These modified Waves were originally destined for Sweden where one-handed opening knives are not allowed. They were lost and found in the warehouse only after the introduction of the new Wave 2. Leatherman extended a great price and installed the opening stud which allowed us to bring these collector edition Waves (only 3700 in the world) to you at great pricing."
(this note was found in the box which)

It was given to me as a gift from my dad about 5years ago and hasn't left my side except for the odd service at the dealer.
I have broken each blade once but sadly the standard blade has been replaced with a new generation blade and the serrated with a second hand version which you see in the picture.
 
I had the pleasure of meeting Tim Leatherman at the beginning of this year. He hand engraved his signature on the serrated blade and when he saw the studs he commented on my interesting 'home mod'  :D

From the note, I gather that a OHO Leatherman is not legal in Sweden, the shipment was lost then found and shipped to South Africa.
I will post a better pic when I get it back from the service center.

Since there's no hole in the serrated blade it's 2HO designed for the Danish market not Swedish. There's no law against one hand opening in Sweden. Other than that It's an interesting piece and it would be great to hear a bit more background on it..

Oddly what this reminds me of are the Wave fakes that were all over the place a few years ago, they had a thumb stud rather than a hole as well.  Not, I hasten to add, that I am suggesting that this one is a fake in any way.

I have had one as well.  They are neat tools. 

It's funny though, I used to hate the wave but I got a deal on a charge and forced myself to carry it.  The longer I carried it the more I realized that the wave/charge line fits me incredibly well.  I love the wave now, more than I ever loved my blast.

My first PST rusted but that was only during the monsoon season in Korea so it's understandable I would think. If I were to live in a very humid environment, I wouldn't go with LM as much as I do now. Probably would be a Vic Spirit or the likes.

Yes , i re-purposed a computor shoulder bag strap to fit over the horizontal loops of the nylon sheath.  i used a level 24 snap to keep it closed.  great thing is the metal "thingamapart"  sticking out the bottom.  i use it for keys which then fit nicely into back pocket slightly suspended and quite secure.  ill snap a few pics and post them.

My guess is they will, but not for a few years. It would completely gut Rebar sales if they did it now.
The ST300 came out in 2009, and it's not until later this year that the Surge is getting those pliers.

Why is the original issue Wave considered superior to the "new" model?   Is there a particular year of the pre 2004 Wave that is the most sought after?

Well, first of all, opinions on that differ.. But some things the old Wave has over the new one are:


- The screwdrivers are considered better by some: A full 3D phillips, instead of the 'half 3D' phillips of the bits. Also they have more reach


- The scissors are found better by most


- It's actually sleeker and lighter than the new one.


Of course, opinions differ, like I said already, I personally like the bit drivers better, plus the inside tools -do- lock, as opposed to the old one. I only have had a new Wave, so I don't know which one I prefer, but I certainly like the fact that everything locks, and I prefer the look of the new blades, too.


Also something not to forget, people may like the old one better for its collectability, as it's a discontinued tool.


Hope this helped  :salute:

Good points bmot :tu:  You pretty much explained why I want one.  I'm not a big fan of the bit drivers myself.  My main issue with the Original Wave is the non-locking inside tools, but I can deal with that for a sleeker, lighter version of an excellent MT.  I too have the new Wave, and haven't actually handled the original version, but I can tell that I would like it, and I like the dedicated drivers better, although it does seem to go a little overboard on the flatheads ;)

I guess it depends on the individual. Because there is nothing worse then a MT folding and taking a nice divot out of your finger while you are working. For light work non locking is fine, but any real pressure I want locks. My 2 cents

I am considering membership to the Wave club.  I own a beater Leatherman PST, a mint PST and a Juice CS 4.

Why is the original issue Wave considered superior to the "new" model?   Is there a particular year of the pre 2004 Wave that is the most sought after?

Thanks


Well, first of all, opinions on that differ.. But some things the old Wave has over the new one are:


- The screwdrivers are considered better by some: A full 3D phillips, instead of the 'half 3D' phillips of the bits. Also they have more reach


- The scissors are found better by most


- It's actually sleeker and lighter than the new one.


Of course, opinions differ, like I said already, I personally like the bit drivers better, plus the inside tools -do- lock, as opposed to the old one. I only have had a new Wave, so I don't know which one I prefer, but I certainly like the fact that everything locks, and I prefer the look of the new blades, too.


Also something not to forget, people may like the old one better for its collectability, as it's a discontinued tool.


Hope this helped  :salute:

Good points bmot :tu:  You pretty much explained why I want one.  I'm not a big fan of the bit drivers myself.  My main issue with the Original Wave is the non-locking inside tools, but I can deal with that for a sleeker, lighter version of an excellent MT.  I too have the new Wave, and haven't actually handled the original version, but I can tell that I would like it, and I like the dedicated drivers better, although it does seem to go a little overboard on the flatheads ;)

I guess it depends on the individual. Because there is nothing worse then a MT folding and taking a nice divot out of your finger while you are working. For light work non locking is fine, but any real pressure I want locks. My 2 cents

Oh I agree with you on this.  I want and prefer locking tools, but I make the exception for the PST, PSTII, Juice KF4 and hopefully someday the Original Wave due to my enjoyment of them.  At least the O-Wave has locking blades on the outside.  My MTs/SAKs probably get more fiddling time than actual hard use.  I don't do lots of serious, hard work with my MTs anyway as that type of thing doesn't come up in my line of work much.  So as a result, I don't need locking tools the same way someone who does more handyman/trade work and whatnot would.  So as you said, depends on the person ;)

Thanks for the info people.  Sincerely

I think if I had a bit driver on my wave I would lose the bits like my SAK toothpicks.  I dont think I will be able to find an original Wave locally and the prices online seem too high compared to a new one.  Maybe I could snipe one on ebay at 2am

One of the reasons I'm not a huge bit driver fan is because I don't sheath carry, and I don't have an available place to carry the extra bit set (which I have, but never use).  If I really wanted to, I could just use one of the bit carriers and fill it with whatever bits I think would be most useful to me.  The carriers don't take up much space, but I just don't think I could fit one into my EDC setup.  Also, I don't really encounter any situations where I need anything other than a Phillips or flathead, most of which are covered by the MT/SAK combo I already have on me.  That doesn't mean I never would need them, but I think it would be too rare to bother with carrying them.  Although, I don't know if you would have to worry about losing them as they seem secure in the driver to me, as well as in the bit carrying cards. 

I check Ebay occasionally just to see what Original Waves they have available, but I won't have enough money saved up for one for probably several months (I have a savings account with a few bucks going into it out of each paycheck to save towards the remaining MTs/SAKs I want).  I would like a brand new one, but those are expensive, so I would settle for a used/barely used one in very good condition, which I do occasionally see. 

Hope my ramblings helped ;)

How do you guys wear your wave so it is "wearable" ?

I'm curious. What's the difference between the Charge and Wave? (Other than the aluminum). Is there some special reason?

congrats .  I started with the sidekick/wingman and then got a wave, its been my main work tool ever since.  bitcards and bit extender makes this an unbeatable tool for me though I still have my sidekick in my truck and use my wingman at home regularly.

So it's the upgraded blade and aluminum handles? Do they feel/operate any differently?
Title: Re: Wave Owners Club
Post by: Aloha on August 27, 2013, 05:34:15 AM
The Charge TTi comes with a crimper plier head and a gut hook on the serrated blade

The Charge ALX comes with a crimper plier head, gut hook on the serrated blade, dual large bit drivers and looses the scissors and med fixed flat driver.

Scales on the AL and ALX are aluminum and the TTI are Titanium.

I have posted that the TTi "felt" better than my Wave and I need to preface that with ( my wave came with very sharp edges which I smoothed out ).
I also feel like the luxury Titanium had something to do with it as well, Titanium vs SS vs Aluminum.  I am back with my Wave as my full time go to Multi for work after a good run with my TTi. Im cannot say the tool "feels" different other than to say Titanium sure is cool. 

My Wave is a BEAST and can handle anything I throw at it as well as my wingman and sidekick or TTi.  To me its versatility and the bit drivers are all the difference.  I have done things with my Wave that my others just cannot because of the bits.  I think the Wave is the best bang for the buck vs the Charge Line though YMMV and like the many of us here on MTo you may just end up with all of them.   

The main blade steels S30V, 154CM, and 420HC to me personally don't matter that much on my multi as I carry a dedicated folder as well.  I am not versed in blade steels and feel IMO that 420HC that is properly cared for will more than suit most users needs. 

I think you will be very happy with your Wave. My roomie just got her 1st MT and chose a Wave which was partly based on my day to day use of it.

Yeah, I think I would prefer the slightly slimmer, lighter design.  I see them on ebay, but I've never had the chance to actually pull the trigger on one.  I would prefer new, but those are very expensive.  I've seen a couple in very good condition for fairly cheap (compared to the price for new), but that's always been at a time when I was unable to spare the cash.

And, I'm BACK IN as a Wave owner.

Sort of.

Bought a Wave off of ebay, supposedly in 'great' condition, only to find the handle for the scissors was broken off. How do you even...?

Anyway, it's off for repair to Leatherman.

I should note, this is officially the FIRST multitool I have owned, sold, and bought again. When I was crunched for cash, it was a toss-up between the Wave and Spirit. I kept the Spirit, but as time passed, it really seemed that of all the tools I'd ever had and gotten rid of, the Wave was the one I wanted back the most.

Yeah, I've been out of this club for about a year now too. Sold my Wave and replaced it with an ALX.

I've been tempted a few times by great deals offered here in our trade section but I'm holding off till I stumble upon a BO one for $35 or less. :P I have time. ;)
How do you like the ALX then? Just got one myself :tu:

I love/hate it. :P

I miss the slimmer, simpler SS body of the Wave, the ALX feels fatter but I don't have the Wave to compare anymore. It must be cause the pocketclip sits much closer to the scale and I can't clip it to my pocket as low as I could my Wave. The gut hook comes in handy sometimes if I have to cut some string or something like it. :tu: I prefer to have the two bit drivers as I don't like carrying the bit card separately and I never liked the small Wave scissors anyway. I dumped the saw from the frame and replaced it with a pair of Vic scissors in the first week of receiving it. Don't need a saw in an urban environment that often, and if I do, I bring a Farmer or a folding saw. Much easier to use than the thicker Wave/Charge frame. Basically I'd like to switch the tools of the BO ALX I have (+ the 91mm Vic scissors) to a BO non CC Wave frame. That would be my :dd: Wave.

Yep, like you I don't have a Wave at the moment but I remember I found it's scissors too small to be really useful. I do like the ALX's more rounded edges though. It's early days but I reckon I will appreciate the extra bit driver too as soon as I get a bit kit for it.

I have a couple of Waves, but never use them.  One is a 2nd generation with 154CM blade, the other is a NIB 25th Anniversary.  I never really got comfortable with them because there are much slimmer mid-size tools that I prefer (Spirit, Pulse) and I don't really need one-handed access to blades since I usually carry a OHO folder.  I can certainly understand why the Wave is so popular, it's just not really for me.

I'm planning to "thin the herd" soon, and these will probably be the first to go.  In the meantime, I guess I'll claim to be part of the club.  :P  :D

I use my Wave as EDC already for 6 months now, in this time I rebuild it to a ReWave and its the best MT for my needs. I`ve tested Rebar, Supertool 300, Surge, Swisstool, SOG Powerlock and some others as EDC but the ReWave is simply the best for me.
But.......I would like to have a nice (DLC coated by myself) Charge for the weekends and holidays :D

Here is my EDC:

every now and then, the safety pin for PE blade would not disengage, preventing me from deploying the blade. It would be fix after I open / close priers 20+ times, but it will happen again in time. Oiling it won't help.

I like to dig into this issue before I send it back for replacement.

I have not had the issue you describe.  The only complaint I had was the rough edges all over the tool when I first got it.  I smoothed down all edges and polished the tool and used it for work for several months with nothing but the highest praise. 
Title: Re: Wave Owners Club

Judging from 5 Waves, 3 New Surges of mine, seen like rough edge is a standard feature LM offers for them.

I have a feeling the safety pin is about to break or there's a micro break already so it doesn't spring back in place when the pliers are closed. Next think that might happen is for the knife blade to be hard to open, and then the pin will break off. You'l lbe able to use the tool with no problems after that, just the blade safety pin will be gone. I've had this happen on a Wave of mine some time ago. Never bothered to return it. It was perfectly usable. But yeah, it's annoying. :-\

And +1 on the rough edges.

Lam... strange problem with that blade lock. While others might have heard of it before, it's new to me.

I have a new to me BO Wave and didn't notice rough edges on it.  I will have a second look but the SS Wave was very rough and sadly was the very first thing I noticed.  Great question though, I'm guessing purely without any forethought mind you, that like knife blade stroping could cardboard/leather be used without stripping away this BO finish????

My Wave (not sure exactly which year, but bought it earlier this year) is my least favourite Leatherman.

It was by far the worst finish (lots of rough edges), the serrated knife occasionally is so tight you can't open it and other times it's really loose. The plier handles flex more than any of my other leathermans. It's too heavy and oddly shaped for pocket carry. I dislike the bit driver system as it's got no reach and I find the 2d bits aren't as good (at least for the phillips head). It goes in my bag as a backup.

(http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd490/RimfireNZ/photo1_zpsc1e02911.jpg)

I can't deny it has an awesome file though… and the profile of the knife is great.

Don't get me wrong, I like it, but I don't think deserves the reputation it has. At least my one doesn't.
Title: Re: Wave Owners Club
Post by: Aloha on February 13, 2014, 01:21:55 AM
Agreed on the fit and finish, there is an extension to the bit driver that gives you more reach the bit extender will accept 1/4 bits as well.  Great thing is there more tools for you to have a go at and find the right tool.

I decided to give my Wave some pocket time for the last week and a bit since I got off to a bad start with it (didn't like it and had some quality issues).

I never seem to like a new Leatherman when I first get it, then it grows on me after I've used it for a while. Same thing happened with my Wingman.

I'm loving it now. Especially now that I have the new bit kit and can use standard screwdriver bits in it with the extension.

I find this is the case for most tools/knives that I own or have owned. The more use it gets, the more I grow to like it.

I have a Spyderco Paramilitary 2 in Camo with black blade that went on a pretty epic camping trip with me 2 years ago. I hated that knife when I got it. Just couldn't bring myself to like the color combination. I decided to take it with me as I wouldn't feel bad beating on it or if I lost it. After that trip, it became one of my regulars and is still in my collection.

Thanks Roc. I used my Crunch and Surge to unscrew the proprietary binder posts. Preheating with a torch to melt the red loctite is essential! The awl required grinding the nail nick edge to fit flush when closed in the handle, and required grinding the curved part to allow the handles to fully close.

I've been rocking my wave lately and noticed online you can purchase a Damascus blade for your wave. Price runs about $55, not bad if it's the same blade as what's in the limited edition model and not a copy/3rd party thing. I have paid for knives costing more than that and would get one for my wave no questions asked.

How do you guys carry your Wave?
Are the pocket clips any good?

Although I have a couple of sheaths, but I pretty much only use them for storage purposes since I don't often wear a belt. I'm looking at getting a pocket clip for mine, I hate having to fish around for it in the bottom of my pocket.

I carry my Charge TTi with the pocket clip, and it's fine.  The Wave rides a little better/lower with the clip due to its slightly thinner size.

Thank you.
Rouge an dremel for heavy stuff an thick rag with rouge melted into fabric for finish.
All in hand work, so I can monitor temperature an absorb heat created.
I should get the right bits an break it down an do it completely, soon I'm guessing. Need to score another to replace this edc  first.

The pliers do scratch up a bit, but I find no worse than the SS ones... It's only a little more noticeable with the black...

Sorry about the delayed reply,

Yes the Green (mini)Paracord wrapped around the knife deployment hole really helps for quick opening. I also put orange on the Serrated blade. And it's super duper cheap

I'm not a fan of "thumb holes" on any tool or knife........

I strongly recomend doing it if your not a fan of the holes.

Just be careful, it doesn't absorb much moisture. But it will absorb salsmurfer and WD40 and hold it fo awhile!!

Hi everyone. I have a quick question for the community.

I own a Leatherman Wave (bought in 2003/2004 and looks like this one: https://www.coldmountainkit.com/shop/image/product_images/wave.jpg).

The scissor spring has broken and I'm wondering if its possible to do a home repair or if I need to send it somewhere?

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

My philosophy with my Waves is very similar to my philosophy with my jeans:

I have work jeans and go to town jeans. I don't wear my go to town jeans to work and I certainly don't wear my work jeans to town.

The same is true of my Waves! I have a work Wave (nice and battered) and my out and about Wave. Both ride in sheaths on my belt every day

Random thoughts:

Something that I would love to see for the new updated wave/charge series besides rebar style pliers (which are debatable) I would say put an awl where the scissors are, remove the serrated blade and put surge-like scissors in it's place (no wingman scissors please, they are horrible), and give an option for the main blade to be plain edge or combo edge. This tool set would dominate the mid-size multi category and really set the bar high for the competition. But what do i know.  :whistle:

Does your wave close all the way? I tried a ground down rebar pliers I my wave and it still wouldn't close completely due to the scissors.

Yeah it closes perfectly - Im not quite sure how as most people said I'd have to grind the plierhead. I'll take some pics later to see if you can figure it out :)

I've been carrying my Original Wave for the last few weeks at work again.  It's just reinforced my belief that it was the high point for Leatherman.  They just don't make them that well anymore.  It truly is a fantastic piece of engineering.

I wish I could say it was a triumph of engineering or thinking.. but its not. Im actually not sure - I intended on modifying the scissors but when I swapped the head it closed straight away with no issues... I have no idea why or how! Sorry!

Hey All,

New here and glad I found the site. And now I'm a member of the Wave owners club! Just picked up my first 'New' Wave at my local Fred-Meyer store - listed at 20% off and had a coupon for another 10% off. Paid $57.59 before tax (with the 'premium' sheath). They had the Rebar for $39.99 and a couple other models (Wingman and Sidekick I think) that I forget the prices off-hand.

Attached pics show my Wave in the package and then taking care of its first important task.

Curious - the plier joint and plier attachment joint were pretty stiff but seem to be loosening up already, should I put a drop of 3-in-1 oil on it, just leave it be, or ?

Cheers,
Allen

That's what I figured :)

I'm really amazed at how much I've used the Wave in the short time I've owned it. Besides opening a few  bottles, I've used the pliers to move an adjustable shelf whose pins were super tight and also removed the nasty burr from the tip of a chefs knife I was sharpening. The Wave's diamond file made short work of that!

Cheers,
Allen

Anyone know the Security Torx bit size for the original wave. The smallest I got is #10 and it's too big.

It may be #5, but I'm not totally sure :think:  I'm sure someone knows.

Thanks Monrogue. What I got is the commonly available 6 spline security torx bit which I believe is called TR10 and fits the new Wave. The older Wave needs the 5 spline security torx bit you mentioned, the TS10 which is harder to find. Your reply put me on the right track to find the answer.

Made the jump and ordered a Wave with the bit-kit and bit driver extender.
I really like it. It is indeed American like a pick-up truck. Rugged, honest design and all function. So much utility.
Wear it in the nylon case horizontal on the belt.

I bought a Surge for myself, as I preferred the externally-accessible scissors and interchangeable T-shank blades to the saw on the outside of the Wave.

But then I made the mistake of buying a Wave for my brother. It feels much better in my smaller hands than the giant Surge.

So I just ordered up a Wave on FeeBay. $54 shipped, for a new 2015 one. Is that a good deal? I felt like it was, after seeing that Lowes wants $90 for them.

See you again after it lands.  8)

Yeah, those sniper bids. I think I am getting good at it. I use my phone, set an alarm with 2 mins to go if I really want it, set my max I am willing to pay and then with 5 seconds to go press, kneel and pray.

Just got an original Wave (stamped "Tool" not "USA") on eBay (with leather sheath) for $36 shipped.  According to the pictures it looks like it is in great condition.  No rust, blades (appear) to have good edges, undamaged cutters, the file looks unused.

I am very excited.   :multi:  I'll post some (crappy) pics when it comes.

Yeah, I used this strategy. I felt kind of bad sniping on a bidder who had been bidding for days at the last minute.  I know how irritating it is to be winning as of the last 10s or so. Cest la vie.

Quick question -- what's the difference between the "new" Wave and the "original/old" Wave?  Thanks!

oh, I just realized that the new one has the bit changer....is that the only difference?
Title: Re: Wave Owners Club
Post by: NetsNJ on August 18, 2015, 02:04:59 AM
The new wave has beefier plier heads and blades.  It also has all-locking tools whereas the old wave only has locks on the outside blades. 

Additionally, the tool complement outside the four main blades is quite different.  The new wave has two bit drivers, whereas the old wave didn't have the bit slots and just gave you screwdrivers.  I think the scissors on the knew wave are also smaller than the old wave?

I added a Wave to my growing collection. They had a 'kit' offered at Dick's Sporting Goods and I went for it at $89.95 with the double bit set and nylon sheath with flashlight pockets. Turned out they only had one in stock and the P3 Lenser flashlight was missing so the guy at the counter offered to take $10 off and I told him it needed to be $20 so I could buy the P3 light....He agreed  :D so I'm in with the kit in stainless for $69.95US. I picked up the P3 light  on Amazon and added the bit driver as well.

That set me off on a kick of buying the Squirt PS4 and the Juice CS4....it's a sickness...Now am waiting for my Maxpedition Fatty to come with UPS today.

I've got to ask both Steve and NetsNJ:  are your G1 Wave's handles loose or wobbly at the inside tools' end when closed?  Mine has signicant play when closed.  Just curious.

Title: Re: Wave Owners Club
Post by: NetsNJ on August 20, 2015, 09:28:10 PM
In what direction? The handles stay firmly closed on mine.  (It is stamped "Tool" not "USA" on the pliers, and I think they added some springs or something on these later ones to keep it closed?)  There is some play up and down on the tool side handles in the up-down direction when closed (not the open-close direction if that makes sense).  But my Rebar and Sidekick are the same on that front.  All in all, my Wave is smooth but firm where you want it to be.
Title: Re: Wave Owners Club
Post by: Monrogue on August 20, 2015, 09:37:40 PM
Yes, sorry.  I should have specified direction.  I meant up and down motion, not side to side (open/close).  I don't remember the date of mine though.  It's solid on all areas except that one issue when closed.  Thanks for your reply :salute:

I am really really loving this tool. I wish the new Wave had this tool load out (and no bit exchangers) with the beefier blades. 

What do you guys think of the eyeglass screwdriver?  It makes no sense to me on a multi-tool, none.  (At least not taking up that much real estate!)

I agree to an extent.  I don't need glasses (yet), so it loses some usefulness there.  However, it can be good on small electronics I would think.  Still, like you guys, I prefer the old Wave's loadout.

I believe the eyeglass driver belongs on the juice or squirt line not on the full size. So I don't like it on the wave. It seems out of place. They really should replace it with an awl. It's the only thing the wave is missing.
Title: Re: Wave Owners Club
Post by: NetsNJ on August 21, 2015, 12:17:32 AM
Eyeglass screwdrivers are useful, but it just seems to take up so much (precious) space on the Wave for such a small item. 

Has anyone seen mods where it is swapped for something else?

I'm sure they have. I think an awl would be a better choice myself. I wish the OG Wave had an awl instead of a can opener.....future mod maybe.

That's been replaced with the (modified) awl from a Rebar now:

Finally stuck the Rebar plier head onto my Wave.  Doing a cable cut test (http://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,60344.msg1113037.html#msg1113037) convinced me that my modded Wave (+ Wingman scissors, small flat driver and awl) was superior to the Rebar for in almost every way - except for the cable cutters.  Only had to modify the locking pin for the blade, shorten the small flat driver and clean up the back of the awl to make it fit.

I don't think so, IIRC that awl from Signal is pretty thick....
To replace mini driver with awl, you can get another can opener, grind it down to a pointy sharp awl, but leave the hook untouch (ask me how I learn), it will be short, but a functional awl.

I still own a Wave, but it's not as it was  ;)

Originally I carried it in it's stock configuration, but after a while I raided it for the innards. The bit drivers, scissors etc etc, all got repurposed in my Roundhouse Kick mod, and the Wave became the Ripple (or Wave Lite) and continued to be used without the internals. At that time I always had a SAK with scissors, and had a multi-angled ratchetting screwdriver with a good array of bits in my bag. As time progressed and the bag was dropped from daily carry, the Wave kind of fell by the wayside. If I needed the Wave in it's full glory (with all the internal parts), I just grabbed the Charge AL which has identical components but looked better doing whatever it needed to do  :D

Now I've started cutting down, and offloading all the surplus, I need to make a call between the Wave and the Charge AL. The innards are still inside the Kick mod, and I decided to try completing the loadout of the Wave using Fuse parts. This has proved quite challenging (more than I anticipated) and still needs more work. Firstly the two stops that the plier heads sit on when closed had to be snapped off. One broke off clean, and the other didn't. It'll be a tricky job getting in there to tidy it up too, but I'll do it if I need to. Secondly, the Phillips is sitting alongside the large flat driver, and while they swing through most of their deployment arc quite freely, when stowed they actually jam each other into the handles and need leverage from a third party tool to get them out. I need to just slim down the Phillips fractionally to fix this. Finally, the last handle has the scissors, the long medium driver, and the can opener. The medium driver is a few millimetres too long, and actually rests on the thumb pad of the scissors, stopping the driver nestling fully home, and preventing the scissors being deployed. Again, this just needs a bit of abrasive work to shorten and reform the driver tip.

I think I need to complete this build and test drive it for a while before I finalise the decision to let the Charge AL go. I like them both for their own looks and feel, but want to be 100% certain the Wave will operate how I want it before making the call

Here are a few pictures of my Wave tool that I bought as a kit with sheath and bit set. The P3 was missing from the kit and I got a discount from Dick's for that and ordered one...Shown here with an Olight i3S though. Both lights fit well in the sheath's stretchy pockets on the side.

He has several styles. These above are Tactical in smooth black. He also has textured black and smooth brown. He has same colors in a version without the holes on sides.

I just sent him my original Wave to have one made up to fit it.

Hi everyone , just a question for those of you who have recently got a new Wave , with the pliers deployed do you find you need lees pressure to fold the handle ? I've looked at two latest production models and there seems to be less friction between the handle and the plier head as they lock open and less pressure is required to close them.

I think they are the same. I used blast pliers because my wave pliers had the crimper cut outs and flexed a lot when twisting things. I also like the silver pliers with black handles  :D

First post here...hehe I joined today after years of lurking. Hello everyone.

I currently switch between different MTs, but one that never fails to fall in the rotation every month is my old trusty Wave.

(http://i1314.photobucket.com/albums/t562/ThePeacent/Mobile%20Uploads/20150726_180053_zpsfzrryeoj.jpg)

It was my first step into Leatherman.

(http://i1314.photobucket.com/albums/t562/ThePeacent/Mobile%20Uploads/20150726_181901_zpsgevxu2eo.jpg)

After that, I got the bit kit during the first year, a second Wave on the second and I upgraded to the Surge on the fourth year.

The Surge is a beast, but too heavy and bulky, so the Wave is carried way more often!

Looking at my original Wave today...  The date stamps in the handles are a bit confusing to me. One is dated 0701 (the scissors side...) and the other 0602A.

Any idea why the dates are so far apart and why the "A"?


By the way, snagged myself a BO Wave, new, yesterday for $65!!!

About a year ago the tip of one of the pliers broke on the Wave.
I've been umming and ahhing about sending it into LM for repair , (and carrying a ST in the mean time, which has been fine), but I decided I wanted the little bugger back and the get the ST out of harms way, so I "bubba'd" the pliers on a grinder and now have a stubby(ier) plier to work with.

It's only about 4-5mm off, I figure the way I use it, I'm not losing much, and perhaps with the "thicker" style, It won't break again.

Sorry Kids, as usual, no pics :P,

If there was one feature I;d change on my Wave 2.0 would be to remove the never used flat screwdriver blade and replace it with an awl /w thread loop.

Don't have the tools to modify the flat screwdriver blade into a make-shift awl w/ thread loop or I would of long ago.
Anyone know where to get such and awl blade to fit into a Wave?

Been using my new Wave HARD. Today it got its first defunct tool. So I am asking for ideas... the wirecutters in the pliers are getting really dull now. They mostly just bend wires and wont cut anything softer anymore. They also get really stuck when the wire is between the plierheads. What would be best way to sharpen those cutters? My pliers already have some minor flex and because the cutters wont meet up as close they are pretty useless. Could I bend them somehow closer and then sharpen them up? Or would this ruin the tool altogether?

Btw. Wave takes everything. I have used it as a hammer countless times, Pretty much only gripe is that I cannot sharpen the rescue blade anymore so it has become somekind of a prying tool. :)

So I was cleaning my newest Wave ( see reply 673 ) and made a neat discovery.  Look at the Torx on both Waves.  Notice anything?  The Wave thats stamped Pat Pend is dated 1004 and has the 5 point torx fasteners.  Intestesting since the New Wave used 6 point Torx.   

Below are a few more pics. You can see the OG wave and Wave dated 1004 ( which is a New model Wave ) both have 5 point torx.  I thought it was interesting.

The Wave on the left is a New style Wave, the center Wave is also a New Style Wave ( dated 1004, also stamped pat pend, see reply 673 ), the Wave on the right is an OG Wave.

Maybe the first run used 5 star till they ran out then switched to 6?  I would be curios about the dates on the New Style Waves with 5 point stars.  As mentioned mine is dated 1004 both handles.

Does any of your Wave's Inner Tools has Play? The scissors and eyeglass screwdriver on mine has Play out of the box(new).
All the outer tools/blades has Solid Locking, No Blade Play at all. Thanks.

Which direction is that?  If it is a up and down play just try to tighten up the security torx holding them.  If it is a turning play,  I think you may have yo get over it if it is not too serious.  It is by design somehow.  The notch on the back of your tool is slightly larger than the hook of the lock and produces the play.  But if the notch is too tight, you will have difficulties disengaging the tools.  If it is not too much play there which doesn't affect your normal usage, just try to get over it.

If you are talking about the play of the bit itself in the bit holder,  this is acceptable to me as it is acceptable for removable items to have certain play. And the bit is only held (i can't say it is being "locked")by a very tiny and relatively weak spring which is obviously not strong enough to stop any play. As long as they dont fall when I am using it.  I am fine with it. 

By the way, I don't have a wave yet though I am thinking of getting one. It's base on my experience on the surge.

The "play" is when moving towards and away of the lock. Over machined lock notch of the said tools?

I checked with my Surge and found some little play as well.  Yes,  I think so and I think if it isn't a lot and won't bother u from normal use,  you can try to get over it. If it really bugs you take it back and get another one.

Try lightly sanding the burr (bump) off the inside. Two minute job. Not worth sending in IMO.

Since getting my hand tools stolen my wave has been invaluable> Few days left at work and it has been worth its weight in gold!

Opened boxes, broke boxes down,tighten screws, dealt with screws on battery covers, cut wires,
Hopefully I'll be starting a new job in a gym soon so may invest in the bit kit for the allen and torx bits

I agree with pancho, the oho is great and really does speed up operation. Oh yeah, I'm new here to the club  :D I probably wouldn't have bought the Wave myself, but it was a absolutely wonderful gift from the Wifey! I've used it at work this last week and it was nice. Primarily used both the knives and bit adapter. The smooth round handles are great and I always prefer the rounded plier head. The tool feels great!

Here is my well used wave. Its only about 3yrs old but i use it very often every day.
The pliers are a bit stubby because i had to grind it down a bit after i snapped off the tip of one side while doing something i shouldnt have.
I also broke my eyeglass driver in a similar way but it still works as a stubby!
I also made my own bit extension out of a Millwakee bit.
Does this tool classify as a mod? Lol
I wont go that far. But i got my money out of it and would recommend the wave to anyone.
Infact i have!. My coworker carries one now too  :cheers:

PROUD member here. I have owned and used a wave (not exclusively of course) since the new ones released in 2004.

It's an interesting tool compared to others, when you consider that it's basically remained un-changed and a best-seller for some 12 years, other than some minute-yet-significant improvements. (such as the thicker in-handle plier rest introduced around 8 or so years ago...

My second Wave broke today.
It has been my workhorse for maybe 8 months...
Just like with gen 1, this new model will give up on the cutting part. This time both sides fractured at the same time.

Still love this tool and will probably get a new one. At least Wave is more robust than TTi.

Just a basic soft steel pin cutting, but I guess 420hc isnt much stronger. :)
I wont send tools in warranty when I have broke them myself, only those that are defect from the start (like Raptor and Skeletool from Leatherman). Kinda attached to this one already. My older Wave actually broke when I was opening an M5 nut, that kinda pissed me off 'bout year ago 'cause it should have been able to do that. Still my goto tool this Wave, so useful. :)

what your describing could have been a defect? If you didn't want to send it in, I understand. You could just do a plier swap for maybe a Rebar with replaceable cutters. Escpexially if you want to keep your tool.  :tu:

Well there was a problem with the lock on my (now long gone) Skeletool CX, where the blade overturned. Similar thing with Raptor handle. Waves have always been as good as they get, my work is just too much for them. No one to blame but my self here, no tool last forever. And LMs are pretty complicated to begin with, more weak spots. They are just so much fun to use. :)

Did LM change the date stamping on the WAVE?

I picked up a new one in a clam package at a reasonable price today. 

I found a number in each handle, but not similar as my 04 Wave.
The numbers were 200 and 110. 
Any insight will be appreciated, thanks.

^ in reference to the above, and looking at numbers in the handles the correct codes are 20D and 11D. 

Old eyes and dim lighting prevented correct identification of a 0 for a D.

I resolved my question. 
On my Wingman, I noticed a 4 digit stamp on the inside wall of the handle.

So, I examined my new Wave, and sure enough the date code is on the inside wall on each handle of my new to me Wave. 0716 and 0816. 

The code is present, just in a different location than my 04 model. 

Mystery solved for me.

Yes, it's different for a friend's 0105 versus my 0117. (It's interesting to see the other small changes too.)
I understand that the Rebar no longer has a date code stamping, ostensibly because the stamping was showing through? If true, I wonder if the same was happening to the Wave because the gauge of steel had decreased, forcing a revision to the date code location. (Conspiracy theory alert!)
One thing I have noticed: the quality and consistency of ALL stamping on newer Leatherman tools is definitely not up to the level of older ones. Still, it's more than good enough.

Here is my 2002 Wave.  I bought it off ebay for only $36, had a lot of superficial grime and tarnish so I got a good deal.  It looks brand new now.  It had stiff opening before and there was some brown dirt, rust, grease, tarnish on it when I received it.  However it doesn't really look like its ever been used.  One handle is 0602A, other handle is 0802A, I assume that means June 2002 and August 2002, but I am not sure about the A.  I used the following steps to bring it back to excellent condition:
1 ) PB Blastered
2 ) Open and closed a bunch
3 ) More PB Blaster and let it soak in a ziploc bag for 3 days out in the heat of the shed
4 ) Johnson's Carb cleaner to get the PB Blaster off
5 ) Boiling hot water and some soap to get the carb cleaner off
6 ) Hairdryer to dry it real fast
7 ) Wipe down with Sewing machine oil and a squirt in the hinges.  I tried some 3 in 1 but it was a bit too stiff, the sewing machine oil worked better.
8 ) Wipe off excess oil

I ordered a sheath from a seller named Mark Fanders off ebay, it looks like a nice one, I'll update with my thoughts on it.

Hope I'm putting this in the right place, but, here be my Wave. I originally had a PST, that my father got me for Christmas in like 2002 or something, and I really liked it, with its only big annoyance being that in plier form, the handles really dug in to your hands. To my great sadness, I lost it around the time I moved out for college, so after an appropriate grief period, I started looking at replacing it, and settled on the Wave.
I went to this mall's tool & camping section and asked for one, and they said they're all out of the standard one, but he had the 25th anniversary model for 20€ more. Being on a student budget, my rational mind said to pass it up, but it was quickly stomped to death by the WANT!! part of my mind, so I got it. Came with the collector's edition tin and all. Will have to post a photo of that later.

The straight blade has seen better days. Like an idiot, a few years back I tried to pry something with it and the tip snapped off. I lacked the skill or tools to re-profile it, so I gave it to someone who did, and he did make it sharp as hell, but to him, aesthetics is a non-issue in tools, hence the scratches. Functionally, there's nothing wrong with it.

Aside from the main blade, the only part that's been damaged, is the eye-glass driver bit. The flat end of it got chipped years and years ago. To return the original favor, I bought my father a standard Wave for Christmas a few years ago, but he felt he won't have as much use for the eye-glass bit, so we swapped. Discounting that, and the wear on the standard bit coating, it's still like new. I even like the scissors, which you might say are the weakest part of the tool.

I suppose most people would just keep the anniversary edition in a collection, but I put mine to use then, and it's been in use almost daily since then for about 8 years now. It keeps its shine remarkably well. The included sheath is still intact, but the velcro is completely spent, which I why I got the Skinth, which WoodsDuck pointed out to me.  :multi:

Hope I'm putting this in the right place, but, here be my Wave. I originally had a PST, that my father got me for Christmas in like 2002 or something, and I really liked it, with its only big annoyance being that in plier form, the handles really dug in to your hands. To my great sadness, I lost it around the time I moved out for college, so after an appropriate grief period, I started looking at replacing it, and settled on the Wave.
I went to this mall's tool & camping section and asked for one, and they said they're all out of the standard one, but he had the 25th anniversary model for 20€ more. Being on a student budget, my rational mind said to pass it up, but it was quickly stomped to death by the WANT!! part of my mind, so I got it. Came with the collector's edition tin and all. Will have to post a photo of that later.

The straight blade has seen better days. Like an idiot, a few years back I tried to pry something with it and the tip snapped off. I lacked the skill or tools to re-profile it, so I gave it to someone who did, and he did make it sharp as hell, but to him, aesthetics is a non-issue in tools, hence the scratches. Functionally, there's nothing wrong with it. Some day, I'll send it to the importer for them to replace the blade, because it's shockingly difficult to find them as replacement parts to swap yourself.

Nice mod vario.
Not sure about the ability to drop in newer blades.
But sure does make sense to have an awl rather than three flat drivers! :like:

I always knew I would get a Wave.  I discovered LMs when I got my father a new Juice S2 for his birthday in April 2017, then I got myself one, and a second-hand Juice Pro and Squirt PS4 (from the sales here), and a battered up S4 from US E-bay (postage costs as much as the item when I buy from the US  >:( ).  Now I have a Wave picked up in the UK from Shpock (second hand sales site).  Cost me £37 including postage and PayPal fees (about US$48).

(http://i.imgur.com/O7cccGE.jpg) (http://imgur.com/O7cccGE)

I gave it a quick clean in warm soapy water --- a lot of gunk and grime came out, especially from the saw slot.

(http://i.imgur.com/VHF4n2k.jpg) (http://imgur.com/VHF4n2k)

The serrated blade had flecks of metal on it --- looks like it may have been used to cut some thin wires?  There's a little bit of rusting on that blade.

(http://i.imgur.com/vOUs011.jpg?1) (http://imgur.com/vOUs011)

I'd not seen a LM Wave plain blade up close before, and I initially thought someone had tried to sharpen the top, Bowie style.  :rofl:

(http://i.imgur.com/Te84JVG.jpg?1) (http://imgur.com/Te84JVG) (http://i.imgur.com/Ja4qnMb.jpg?1) (http://imgur.com/Ja4qnMb)

The pliers are not tight and have a tiny bit of wobble in them, not much to worry about, but just enough slack so that the handles do not come together straight unless I give them a little squeeze and then all is fine.  :tu:

(http://i.imgur.com/eJDUqAb.jpg?1) (http://imgur.com/eJDUqAb)

There's some rusting on the pliers.  The flat head and scissors open nicely, the flat heads look unused, and the scissors are good and sharp.  The large flat head in the other handle is clean and sharp but a bit tight to open, and the philips head and can opener are very tightly held together --- I can get them apart, but it needs a bit of effort and my Squirt PS4.

I've given all parts a liberal spraying with WD40 and will let that soak in for a while.  Then I'll go to work cleaning it up some more.  All in all, I'm happy with this Wave.  Blades lock nicely, tools show no or small use.  The bits of rusting will probably polish off.  I think this will replace my Juice Pro.  I was wondering about getting some TS10 pentalobe bits to dis-assemble and do some deep cleaning, and even add in two New Wave bit holders I have, but I'm not sure about that now, since it's a nice tool and I'm not sure I want to mess it up. 

(http://i.imgur.com/iO7NDmP.jpg?1) (http://imgur.com/iO7NDmP)

This is an 0401 Wave (both handles), so although I now have a Wave, I still don't have a (New) Wave!  ;)

I wouldn't remove the handles from the plier head.  Its hard to reassemble the plier head, I did it yesterday and it a lot of effort to get it back together because the hole tolerances are so tight.  Its likely that tightening the torx bolts won't make your tool any tighter because what seems to happen is the plier head gets looser over time.  Tightening the torx bolts will make the blades and file harder to open.  I think you have to use a hammer and punch to tighten the rivet inside the pliers.  My LM wave looked even worse than yours when I bought it off eBay a week or two ago, I let it soak in penetrating oil for 3 days and then cleaned it with carb cleaner and it looked brand new, then I oiled it with some sewing machine oil in all the pivots.  For the penetrating oil soak, I put it in a ziplock and sprayed the penetrating oil into the bag.  If its like mine, nearly all the surface rust will just come off with a wipe after soaking in the oil and it will be very shiny.

Congrats on the Wave!  Many of us actually prefer the older Wave model like yours. I had a new Generation BO Wave but didn't care for it and sold it.

I love my Wave enough that I bought a pristine backup in a gorgeous leather sheath and it is there in case my every day Wave ever suffers some catastrophic failure.

Enjoy that Wave!

The blades I can now crack open with one hand, just about.  The oiling has made the philips and can opener side much easier to open.  There's still some brown residue coming out around the joints, so I'm going to have to play work with it some more.  :)

I doubt I will take it apart now.  It's so nicely put together.  I notice the second largest flat head just about fits the hex bit extender that I use on my philips on the Juice S2.  This Wave philips does not seem to be a fit for the bit extender.

Yep keep squirting penetrating oil until the brown stops coming out  :cheers:  It is very easy to take apart the handle ends compared to the pliers, so if the screwdrivers, scissors, or bottlecap opener are too tight, you can easily readjust the tension.

In that case go to the Shapeways site and order one for around 28 bucks IIRC, unless you can still find somewhere that sells the entire kit. For the Shapeways item (rough print) you'll also need four M3×6mm grub screws with 1.5 mm Allen key holes, and M3×0.5 thread taps and some small metal files and an Allen key 1.5 mm. Voilà

First time poster, and this feels like a question that would have been answered but I've tried searching, to no avail. I've got a recently purchased Wave (two, in fact) which have the same issue; the safety pin what keeps the plain blade from opening when the pliers are in use has a tendency to keep the blade from be used when the tool is in the fully closed position (read: when I should be able use use the knife). Common problem? Fixable by the end user, or just treat it as a warranty item?

 I had the same issue with my Wave and fixed it by using a small file to remove material off  the tip of the pin, a little bit at a time, until the blade fold and unfold without rubbing or touching the pin.

Welcome aboard noah  :cheers:

It's not a problem that I've experienced. I'm going to assume that these weren't purchased new (correct me if I'm wrong). I would start with giving the wishbone (the forked spring) area a damn good clean, and getting some lubrication under it, to make sure there's not some gunk jammed under it that's holding it open, With the pliers only halfway deployed, the spring should not be forced over by the "ramp" at the back of the plier head. If it is still in "lock" position, I would try gently easing it back with a small screwdriver, in case something got really well jammed underneath it (don't try to do this with the pliers more than 90 degrees from the stowed position). If it's still not easing back, look for crack or signs of sprains near the base of the fork (just above the rivet that secures it to the body)

Good luck, and keep us informed. Other folks with other ideas may be along soon. Watch this space  :salute:

Post by: noah on September 30, 2017, 11:41:48 PM
Both purchased new (one's a year or two older than the other) although it's much worse on one of them. On the "good" one, I can almost always open the blade, but even then I do feel the blade touch the pin on the way open. On the bad one, I generally can't open the blade at all if I've just closed the tool. Serrated blade is utterly unaffected on both tools. I'll take a closer look later and see what I can see.
Title: Re: Wave Owners Club
Post by: noah on October 02, 2017, 04:50:39 AM
No obvious issues, although I noticed that the plain blade on the bad tool is a stiffer to open than the plain on he good tool (or either serrated). Suspect I'll send it in for warranty work; s'what the warranty is for, after all.

Friend of mine found a LM in the middle of the road - said he was driving and spotted something out of the corner of his eye, stopped the car and waited as several other cars drove over whatever he had seen.

It was a Wave and was in excellent working condition despite the battering it received!

I may have to try a LM out sometime if they're as tough as they seem.

There are great cars. My first car was a 35 year anniversary mini. We went camping in it all over the country - it was briiliant. Too small once our daughter was born though. Would love to get another one someday.

Any pics of your Traveller?

None worth showing. It wasn't a woody one - was about '73 0r '74. I bought it for parts for my van. It was painted in what looked like roof paint.  :facepalm:
I bought the Van (1968) off a clown which is why it had a sun, flowers, cow etc painted on it. I had plans to spruce it up and put a 1275cc engine from a landcrab into it (the 850's crankshaft broke whilst passing a truck) but sadly I never got around to it and they both rusted away.  :cry:

Ok Wave owners.... I have a question about my Original Wave. I’ve had it and USED it since buying it in 2002. It has been sent back once for broken pliers.

My question... from these pics, can you tell how much life the diamond file has left?

LOL, I actually did. I used to sharpen knives with it all the time. I just wasn’t sure if I was still using diamond grit or metal on metal!  Haha

I did clean up a knife with it at work a few nights ago...

I use mine all the time, yours looks good.
I was instructed to clean any diamond file blade off under running water frequently to keep it clean.  Apparently it will collect the material and cause it to smooth out with use.  I use a tooth brush for some extra scrub function. This applies to real and man made (synthetic) files.  So I carried over to my Wave as well.

I am not certain the finish either.  Mine has seen use and sheath carry, mostly on weekends when at home, yet easy to clean, but it will chip -  (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171221/c30203138a6b133fecb2d9eafc5905c7.jpg)

Hi all.

new owner of Wave here (just got on christmas, yesterday).

i just found out a hidden lanyard ring in Wave from youtube. my question is, is this featured lanyard ring is durable enough? or should i use additional lanyard ring instead (that should be purchased separately, along with pocket clip) ?

link for the said youtube, here:

I was reunited with my wave this afternoon. It had been missing, and I thought I had lent it to someone. Turns out I left it in a coat pocket and haven't worn the coat in quite some time.  :facepalm: Guess the Skeletool will get a break so I can enjoy the Wave for a while.

yeah so i just discover one other function of our Wave, guys.

so yesterday my co-worker had pain in his back muscle, and he ask me to massage in some particular point.
(i actually quite good at massaging).
while massaging his back, near the spine, i had idea in my mind using my Wave as massaging tool instead of my thumb.
so i just using the round end (closed Wave) to fix his muscle, and he satisfied afterwards.   :D

Nice, that is a great picture. 

Did you pick a new Wave before the “+” models take over?

A Farm store near me have every day for $74 w/Leather type sheath.  Been thinking of getting another 2nd gen style. 

Is that a rock your Wave is laying on?  Just curious!

Hi guys.

What are y'all think about the + ?

My opinion is, it is good they've added the replacable wire cutters. but fans also asks for awl rather than the medium screwdriver, and LM doesn't provided it

I’d love to give it a go and figure out myself if it suits me. And I guess it definitely would. And maybe I’d replace the eyeglass screwdriver with an awl

I feel something is a bit off with Poncho's Wave, but can't put my finger on it

154cm blade  :D

Post by: Poncho65 on February 22, 2018, 12:02:12 PM
Yes, I have had that blade in there for over 8 years (maybe longer) :ahhh Kwakster was kind enough to send it to me way back then :tu: It holds a great edge but I will admit the Wave hasn't seen an extreme amount of use ::) :D

Great pic Poncho  :tu:.

For some reason I'm all drawn to the Wave again ...  Same thing happend when we had the Wave Challenge a couple of years ago, after solely using the Wave for the entire month, I rediscovered what a great tool it actually is  :D.

On the other hand, I tend to switch from time to time, I've carried the Wave as EDC for a long time, followed by the ST300 and my Swisschamp, which got replaced by three years of carrying the Spirit, which was replaced by the Wave again cause we had the challenge (and I carried it for a couple of months after the challenge was finished  ;)),  until it got replaced by the Surge ... and now I'm back to the Wave again :D.

And I do carry other tools during these periods, depending on where I'm going and what my tool needs are, obviously. 

So many tools to pick from, and most of them can handle just about anything you throw at them ... we're just a bit spoiled I guess  :D. 

:climber: :multi:.

Thanks TG :salute: I find myself with to many choices to pick from most of the time :ahhh

I like to carry most of them and most of the tools I carry suit my needs for what I use them for :cheers:

I try to swap up as much as I can to carry different tools though but I do tend to drift towards some more than others :D

Sadly the paint they use will chip after use. There is a thread around here about just that. It’s a before and after shot of a orange wave. Not sure if you have seen it yet. Even so, it is still a beautiful tool and should be used and enjoyed, chipped paint and all!

If u have access to grinder, I suggest u reshape other tools. Try to find a ok-ish rebar. They are rather affordable. The smaller flathead thickness should fit in fine I think. Re-profiled it to your preferred shape for for an awl.  :cheers:

You'd need to pull off the pliers head rest from inside the body for the PH to fit, but width-wise, this combination works.

I happened to do some tools swapping today. The rebar AWL will not fit into the place of the small bit holder. It's too thick.
Damn, i may need to do then little grinding on awl to fit it in. I need more awl than small bitdriver.

Only Tools Matters

If u have access to grinder, I suggest u reshape other tools. Try to find a ok-ish rebar. They are rather affordable. The smaller flathead thickness should fit in fine I think. Re-profiled it to your preferred shape for for an awl.  :cheers:
Thx for idea, its maybe better do that way

Hmm good layout bit maybe that combination doesnt serve very well on my needs, i need all four outside tool daily, scissor are used sometimes like every other tool except small bitdriver.
I shaped can opener more useful for my use and i need now only straight blade awl on wave to serve my purposes more(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180512/85bf1912a0bb2d9ee465a65f2c31639e.jpg)

The recently acquired Wave + and two Frankenstein Waves I bought from TTC last year. In term of fit and finish, this Wave + is as perfect as a new-gen Wave can be. No tool rubbing or adjustment is needed. Most of the new-gen Wave I bought had the pliers pivot a bit tighter than I like.

The 2 freakish Waves were impulse purchases. I got some botched gold plating, CC pliers heads, S30V blades, crazy color scheme... what not to love? For sure, my Waves conduct electricity better than your plain factory Waves  :D.

So I decided to tone down the blingy-ness of the middle Wave a little. I stripped off all four gold-plated blades, and replaced with uncoated ones. The S30V blade was replaced with a TTC-made S35VN. This S35VN blade is thicker, and has a nice matte gray finish. For some reason, it did not fit correctly on Charges, but is perfect on this Wave frame. The serrated blade with gut hook was replaced with one from a Charge Ti. One reason I like Charge Ti is its blades are polished. This one will be a gift for a friend  :D

Just picked up a Wave Plus for work. My Charge Ti needs a little work done as it has been hard at work the last few years.

I like the idea of replaceable wire cutters so I'll see tomorrow how easily they cut braided wire rope and report back here. Fit and finish is top knotch. The sheath, while nice, can't beat a Charge sheath.

Yeah W,

I noticed my Wave+ tools don't clump either. And every other Wave I own/had owned had tool clumping.

Has anyone else noticed a lack of tool clumping on the Wave+? My first Wave/Charge/Surge  that you can open each individual tool without the next tool over moving with it.

I am loving the new Wave+ :cheers:
Excellent quality no tool clumping
The pliers have no play  :woohoo:

You need one styx  :D
And we are starting a challenge on the 1st of September
This will be for all gen Waves :tu:
So far on the list:
1 - GLBM
2 - Nix
3 - Wspeed

LM tools in general take a bit of a back seat with me and getting them mostly due to their price locally
I get what you are saying styx :tu:
The only reason I bought the Wave+ is because it was on sale
But the prices are very high normally  :cheers:

Excellent GLBM  :cheers:
I can’t talk about the other Waves but the no
clumping of the tools was what I noticed first
When I started using the Wave+
All MTs should be like that  :tu: :rofl:
Agreed on they should all be like that. :cheers:

Glad you're liking the Wave+ so far, W! :like:

Here we see a cold-blooded Wave, basking in the sun. It will absorb solar heat, to raise its body temperature, which will in turn allow it to hunt. Although exposed and vulnerable, the Wave has no other option, and must endure, for its survival.

I need help.

I have the old Wave and the new one. The old's pliers are broken. Where can I find new pliers for the old one? 

The old Wave is much more useful than the new Wave. Mostly because of those screwdrivers. Ok, they cannot be locked but those are still much more handy than carrying a truck load of bits.

I have a Wave that I was thinking about selling and trying one of the BO Charge Plus's.  I was on Leatherman's site looking around for reviews etc. and it seems like they don't make MT"s with the regular plier's unless you get the lower tool option ones like Sidekick, Wingman or the Skeletool's.  Is this the case?  Will you be able to get the standard Wave anymore?

Also what is the Rev?  Is that supposed to be the lowest end one which is bumping up the Sidekick and Wingman?  I thought they were the lowest ones!

 
Title: Re: Wave Owners Club
Post by: Poncho65 on November 17, 2018, 08:04:48 PM
Thinking they are phasing the regular plier heads out :think:

The Rev has been out almost since the Wingman and Sidekick :tu: it is a little different and is the lowest full sized MT on the rung :salute:

That is what I was thinking is that they are phasing out the regular plier heads, at least in the medium size MT's.  Seem's odd that they won't make the model's with both choices!

I guess I don't recall the Rev name as a MT so I thought it was something newer.  It seems like the price point is around the $20 mark, give or take a few bucks which seems to me that the Sidekick and Wingman didn't go for much more than that when they came out.  Of course now they seem quite a bit higher in price from what I have seen.  I too thought they are the lowest on the rung for a full size and was looking at one for one of my son's so I will have to find some reviews!  :)

It's called Gibb's Lube.  All purpose lubricant, and I believe it's available in the UK.  You have to order it online through an authorized distributor.  It's also available on Amazon.  I've used it for years, pretty much; on on everything that moves.  Great for automotive, knives, and firearms!  It's been around since 1969.  I'll provide a link so you can read more about it.

Hi guys,

First post here. (Many thanks to Grant for getting me set up!  Had some trouble with the system getting registered.)

I spent a lot of time over on Bladeforums years ago (HI Cantina), and then over on Knifeforums from time to time (Bark River mostly), but have been out of circulation for a long while.  Getting a bit into Multitools now.  I've actually had an old original Leatherman (the PST I believe) since 1992, then got a MUT for my range bag a couple of years ago, with bit driver and bits.  I modded the sheath a little to get things to fit the way I wanted, but that's a different thread and post.

Anyway, just got a Wave + last week, with a 4.5" snap sheath with pockets.  That allows me to get two cards of bits and the drive extension, and a small light into the package, which turned out great.

I'd like to upgrade the 420 blades, but then again, maybe I should just get a new tool instead right?   :dunno:   :D  Anyway, love to look at all these classic waves, so thanks for starting this thread, and for all the info I know I'm going to pull from you folks.

Thanks guys, appreciate the welcome!  That was it, the Charge, not the Surge.  I guess my big question is, since the Wave + and the Charge + are almost identical, if you think it’s worth it to get both?  I mean, if I managed to snag an S30V blade for my Wave+, then I’d basically have a Charge, correct?

(Although I do read that some folks think the Charge has more comfortable handles than the Wave.  (?))

Bottom line, I guess I COULD justify one for each car, one for my go bag, one as an EDC...  .  Lots of neat models, and so far I’ve just been looking at Leatherman.

Wanted >>  The black limited edition 20th anniversary wave that comes in the wood/glass frame.   I have not been able to find one ever.

I would also settle for a non-used 20th anniversary with sheath and original packaging.   Not willing to pay $500 for the one on ebay in the clamshell (not yet anyway).

I also am collecting the REI green wave that was only  available at REI for a couple years.   I already have one that is scratched up, but now am looking for minty (hopefully with packaging).

Thanks everyone  !!!!

Personally, I find that the wave is more comfortable in hand when in pliers mode. While using the external tools, probably a charge feels nice with lesser edges/hotpots though a wave is not really that bad either( nick picking if u ask me.) but of course the standard MTO way is to get both.  :facepalm: And Welcome!!

My first Wave.

That is really sweet.  I was going to get the pocket clip for mine, but read several reviews on Amazon if people complaining they had snapped.  I also wasn’t sure the Wave would fit in the sheath with the clip.

Anyway, beautiful finish on that one.

Welcome to :MTO:  svashtar :tu: I would opt to get a Charge  + if you want the upgraded blades :tu: unless you go aftermarket the serrated blade doesn't have a better steel in any option though :dunno: it has a gut hook with the Charge + or Charge TTi + or regular TTi  :cheers: only 154CM with any of the AL models and S30v for any of the newer titanium models :salute:

Or just do like most of us and start trying to buy all of them ::)

 :rofl:

Thanks guys, appreciate the welcome!  That was it, the Charge, not the Surge.  I guess my big question is, since the Wave + and the Charge + are almost identical, if you think it’s worth it to get both?  I mean, if I managed to snag an S30V blade for my Wave+, then I’d basically have a Charge, correct?

(Although I do read that some folks think the Charge has more comfortable handles than the Wave.  (?))

Bottom line, I guess I COULD justify one for each car, one for my go bag, one as an EDC...  .  Lots of neat models, and so far I’ve just been looking at Leatherman.

Thanks Sam!  I think I’ll probably do just that, but would like to see if I can also upgrade the 420 blade on the Wave.  I’m happy with it, but want it to be the best it can be, and a 154CM blade would be perfect.

FYI, I really liked the limited edition Wave+ I saw on Amazon that was two-tone, but heard some say the black can have long term finish issues and start looking scratched up so kept it simple.

But I’d like to get the Charge TTi + down the road, that’s a nice looking tool.

Get a Charge TTi+ and spare Wave+ handles then switch everything ! Wave handles are much more confortable to use, in my humble opinion.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/303021522639

Then you should be able to sell the Charge handles ;-) This way you'll have a nice, upgraded Wave+ S30V gut-hook for far less than buying the upgrades blades separatly.

I dont have any of the titanium models but I find that the AL models to be about the same as the Wave handles in terms of comfort :think:

Also in regards to the BO finish, there isn't a problem with the finish ;) the wear and scratches add character and don't affect the usage at all :cheers:

But get as many models as you can and you can decide for yourself :whistle:

Thanks for the suggestion, but I don’t see it for me, as I already have a Wave+.  Easier just to buy an S30V blade and guthook blade.  Certainly that must be way cheaper than buying a new Charge TTi + and Wave handles.

Even if I didn’t already have a Wave+ I have to believe that buying a new Wave+ and upgraded blades would be way less than buying a new Charge TTi + for twice as much, then buying Wave handles.  (?).  I must be missing something.  The aftermarket Wave blades can’t be as much as the $100+ differential you’re suggesting, are they? 

But I appreciate the food for thought!

Right now my plan is to upgrade at least the primary Wave+ blade, then check out a Charge.

Hey y'all. First post. I've owned many multitools; mostly Leathermans, but a couple of Gerbers, and most provided by Uncle Sugar. My favorite by far was a LM Wave a friend found and gave to me. Someone apparently needed it more than me, so I'm saving my nickles for a replacement, as it's kind of a luxury item for me right now. In the meantime, I'm just hanging out checking out potential mods.

Post by: Max Stone on February 23, 2019, 06:25:28 PM
So I know this is basic stuff, but I’ve been meaning to add a clip to my Wave and it’s actually been a little difficult to find one of these accessories in my neck of the woods. Picked one up today, so here are a few pointers for anyone looking at this factory approved ‘mod’  :popcorn:

My kit came with no instructions and I could not be bothered to look them up. Anyway, how difficult could it be?

There are 2 items in the kit. A clip and a lanyard loop. You could fit both on opposing handles, but it would mean ditching the current hideaway lanyard, so not sure why you need the replacement loop, unless you need a bigger, fixed one?

Anyway, the pictures below show a few key steps. You’ll need a T10 security torque bit with the hole in the tip to undo the pivot. Only one bit is needed as the female part of the pivot is shaved to fit a slot and will not rotate.

Once the handle end is off, you can insert the clip and reassemble?  Not quite...

The clip covers the hole to tighten the screw.  :facepalm:

But no worries. Simple remove and reverse the pivot so the longer female slotted end that does not rotate is under the clip, and you can then tighten from the other side.  :)

Adjust the tightness to just tight enough to keep the bit driver and opener tools tight, but that you can still deploy with your fingernail.

I did not bother with thread lock, as I want to carry the Wave with the clip a few days to check this works for me.

Last point. LM cut a little recess near the top of the clip so you can still reach the file tip to deploy. Clever.  :salute:

So this job was probably quicker than this post, so ‘nuff said. job done.  :cheers:

It actually had you take it apart in the directions ??? This clip is just meant to be put in without modification or dismantling at all :think: I just push the lock tab on mine and slide it into the empty spot on it for the clip and the lanyard ring :shrug:

EDIT: Read it wrong :facepalm: I thought you said you had directions :ahhh

Just push the lock and it comes back off :salute: and will go right back on as well :cheers:

Hehe. Nothing compares to the SideClip.  :D

I find the way it rests on the edge of the pocket takes some getting used to. I carried the Wave, Surge, and Charge in my front right pocket for extended periods. Of the three, the Wave was the one that disappeared after a few days of getting used to it. Now, as far as reaching into a pocket with a clipped Wave, that isn't easy. I just made sure I had all my pocket-stuff in other pockets to accommodate the Wave being in the hand path.

As some of you know i aquired few days ago this Wave what was dropped on campfire it suffered bit of damage, i first thought to send it warranty but warranty told me that they wont repair it and i should buy new one.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190309/1b8b95bcec743a234cc166025c3bbfb8.jpg)

 Well i first thought i should just scrap it but i didnt, i cleaned it, scraped worst places and bended bit spring so outside blades would lock again. Now that Wave works again like charm, it doesnt look so awesome as orginal BO Wave but it works like new now, just need to oil it and its ready to work again(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190309/32ff34acec7ecd06c27a7ad6214fefd8.jpg)

It's funny how I constantly post online about my knives, but never my multitools these days. The Leatherman Wave gets used more than every other multitool combined within my arsenal. I have a silver Wave that's used around the house from time to time, but it's the black oxide Wave that is my true love. It's forever in my outdoor pack, and on every adventure I take. It's pulled through frozen snowshoe bindings, lifted pots from hot camp fires, and whittled more fuzz sticks than I can remember. It's the one piece of gear in my pack that forever serves without complaint.

Thanks everybody. She truly deserves a glamor shoot, after all I’ve put her through.

I just happened to have my Wave on my belt at work today, while doing some Leatherman research. I’m trying to decide on a definitive method of carry for my Wave. It usually sits in my pack when hiking, but it’s a bit inconvenient. I use the Wave a lot, and would prefer not to have to take off my pack to get to it. So I figure that I have a few choices. Leave it in my pack, mount a sheath to the pack’s shoulder strap, carry it in a fanny pack, clip it to my pocket, or sheath it to my belt. Actually, that’s quite a few choices.

The pocket clip carry I’d be happy to use around camp, but not while traveling. When I’m wearing hiking shorts, clip carry just feels too heavy while walking mile after mile.

Sheath carry is a maybe. I love the Dale Park Station leather pancake sheath for my Buck 110, but I’m saddened by the fact hat they no longer produce sheaths. So I’m trying an old Charge nylon sheath today, with the two little elastic accessory slots in the side, to see how it feels. Does anybody have an idea of how these pouches hold up to extensive use? The slot that the belt slides through doesn’t exactly inspire confidence.

Shoulder strap carry is maybe the best option. I just need to sew on some extra webbing to my shoulder straps, and find a good mag pouch that fits the Wave well.

Shoulder strap could be a good hike option as you can add other things to the webbing, etc.

The new nylon sheaths have a snap closure, so won’t have the Velcro wear issues.

Personally, can’t go wrong with the leather sheath.  :like:

My new sheath arrived from Nay's Custom Leather. It's not the masterpiece quality that I used to get from Dale Pack Station, but I can't really complain, since the Dale Packs were some of the best leatherwork I've ever seen at any price.

The Nay is definitely worth fifty bucks though. The design is excellent. The snap is of great quality. The leather is strong and thick. The fit is a bit tight, as it should be, so the sheath can slowly break in and not have the tool rattle around annoyingly.

The sewing is definitely sturdy. Decent looking, but not outstanding. There was some excess glue to clean off of the leather, but not too much. The edges are well dressed. All in all, this a very functional and strong sheath for a good price. I'm a happy guy.

I'll probably continue to use my black Charge sheath for EDC use, since it's the same color as my everyday belt. But for outdoor use, the Nay will get the nod, as the belt loop is much more rugged than the horizontal system on the Leatherman nylon sheath.

I'm very happy with it. If I were to nitpick, I would have preferred that the inside of the snap be covered with leather. I actually would have insisted on it being covered, it this were for a traditional knife. But for a multitool, it's really not an issue at all.

It's great to have outside-accessible blades for a change, and the pocket clip is definately worth it. I still haven't decided which looks better, but I've always wanted a BO. They both look stunning, I might have to buy an SS as well and carry one on each side :ahhh

Anyone have any good tips to loosen up the pliers?  I've had my current Wave for around 3 years and I still have to force the pliers open.  I probably carry and use these 100 days every year so this has become a real pain.   I may go out and use a heat gun to try and melt out any gunk from that pivot point.   The handles have gotten loose enough that I don't have to fold each side down independently, but they are still stiff as well.
 
Title: Re: Wave Owners Club
Post by: Max Stone on July 31, 2019, 01:58:22 PM
I’ve found this works for me: First remove all oil and dirt to get back to a ‘metal-on-metal’ contact environment at the pivot. This is best done via a long soaking in water and strong detergent, with repeated opening/closing and flushing. Once dry, use the pivot stiffness to build friction at the pivot by repeated opening/closing. You want to feel some heat at the pivot, as this shows the friction is building up and the metal is bedding in. The pivot may even get stiffer as the pivot heats up and builds up some metal grindings. Once it’s apparent the friction has helped a little, only then add a light oil and this will draw out the filings (dark gunky oil). You may need to repeat everything again. It’s a slow process, but I’ve found this works for me...  :salute:

Thanks Max Stone.   At least it has finally gotten to the point of the handles not folding when I try to open the pliers.  I also think I misstated how long I've had the tool (darn grey matter ossifying) I believe I've had it since 2013, so that means 6 years. 
I'm considering putting it in my ultrasonic cleaner and using window cleaner as the solution.  I'll let you know how that works out.

Thanks Poncho. I can get my hands on a NIB 30th (ST300 and Micra, both DLC), but the urge is not too strong as the ST300 is not one of LM’s prettiest. Probably will also regret that in 10 years time  :facepalm:

I received an unusual Wave today. I have handled lot of waves and this one is odd. Apart from extremely dirty and sticky which I am fully aware of, anyone can spot anything unusual for this particular one? Date code 0407. 😉

By comparing it to mine, it looks like the file was cut/embedded inside out. Mine has the diamond side to the outside.  Is that it Sam?, 'cause if it is, would make one nice collector's item! If not, I give up!!!!  :facepalm:
Still one nice find; it appears that it just needs some clean&polish. Congrats!

 :D yes! It's the first time I have seen something like that. The diamond coating and regular cut file is on the other way round. Guessing LM at some time is experimenting with the configuration or something. Cos it doesn't seems like an error. Any other people have seen this before?

First time for me,  my friend! Maybe a "production error" like when coins are double stamped, or stamped and cut offset, making for some pretty valuable collectables! :like:

Still a nice and neat find! Happy Holidays everyone! :cheers:

Only Tools Matters

I was kinda hoping for a switch when I sent in my LM ST a few months ago.... They just replaced the snapped off plier and sent it back  I was hoping for absolutely anything besides the original Supertool  :dwts:  Something bigger, smaller, more, less, newer, even OLDER (PST)

no such luck.

It's ok though, that's why I still use my original Wave.

It hasn’t had much use either. I’d weigh on the conservative side it spent almost half its life in a drawer. It’s big brother OG Wave got more use at home. Which is MIA hasn’t been located since I moved. I really miss those scissors.

Nice one, W!
 :like:

OT- As I look at pictures here, I noticed that when the handles are open the opposing blades have a bit of a gap. I relooked at mine and, sure enough, the PE blade and saw have maybe a hair's width between them (near the pivot), while the SE blade and file appears wider. Has anyone else notice this, or is it because of being a fluke or use? Just wondering, as it does not affect function and tip of pliers grip and align well.

Nice mod there, W! :like:

If you don't mind me asking, for how long have you had the scalpel holder and what's your experience with it? Could it be possible to have a picture with pliers out, just to see how's the gap between the holder and saw? I'm considering a pair so I can modify mine to take to work (both places are no-knife-policy environments).
Title: Re: Wave Owners Club
Post by: Wspeed on April 20, 2020, 02:15:29 PM
I ordered the scalpel holder on 23-3-20
and received it on 16-4-20
It’s a easy fit you just need to file a bit of
the flat lock part of the scalpel holder
Where it locks on the Wave handle
It only needs a small amount to be removed

(https://i.imgur.com/vm2rNHR.png)

Here is a pic of the Wave with the handles open
And there is still a gap between the tools

I’m interested in the return of your P2. As I recall, you sent it for the tightness in the pliers, yes? I have a similar experience with my P2 and if they fix it v replacing them- I might do the same.

It’s great. It has the handle squeeze lock up I’ve read many complaints about. I oiled and have been working with it and so far if the handles are squeezed tightly I can now open one handed. Good news I suppose. There was lots of complaints around these parts concerning that fault. Especially with the Free series

I like you can use different types of blades
And for me I like that I can remove the
blade to make it EDC legal in the UK
As we aren’t aloud to carry locking blades :tu:

I've had trouble bonding with my Wave since getting it in a trade a few months back. Comparing it to my Spirit which has seen extensive use at work and home it just sned to be lacking.
Last night I had a mini revelation and have decided to view it as an excellent pair of pliers with two great blades, top notch file and decent saw, all really accessible, and a few ok'ish inside tools that can be pressed into service if needs be.

That makes me feel a lot better about owning it.

They also changed pliers head to new ones, Both blades, smallest and largest flatheads.

Hey all, new Leatherman Wave owner here and so far loving the utility of it, especially for fishing and camping. Quick question, when I bought mine I also bought one for my father for Father’s Day. I bought him the regular Stainless steel version and i bought the limited edition black and stainless steel version for myself.

I notice that his operates a lot smoother than mine and his pliers basically fall shut just with gravity whereas mine require you to actually squeeze them together and will stop and stay at any position if you stop applying force to close them.

When I first got it black oxide just kept coming off onto everything so I cleaned it really good with WD40 and oiled up all the pivot areas. The pliers have improved a little bit but are still nothing like the Pliers on my dad’s pair. Did I get a bad pair that are just stiff or are the oxide coated ones generally stiffer for longer due to the extra coating?

Thanks in advance for any answers.

Thanks in advance for any answers.

Welcome!

I'm a bit obsessive about certain things, as other forum members can attest to.  I've been on an intermittent quest to determine if black oxide is good safe. While the question remains unresolved I have learned a few things. 

Depending on what method is used to create the coating, you may have quite a bit of black residue when you start using the tool. My understanding is that there is some sort of water soluble/mixable oil on the surface of black oxide. A regular oil soluble oil like WD-40 may be too agressive in removing the factory finish and shorten the lifespan of the coating. WD-40 should be thought to displace water - you can put a thin layer on the tools and wipe off as much as possible, and put a more generous amount in hinges where you want to make sure you pull out any water and then wipe it off.

On black oxide I usually use a dry lint free cloth and put a drop of oil in hinges, but I don't wipe the tool down with anything.

Hey all, another quick maybe noob type question: is it normal for the pivots circled in my photo to rotate slightly when you are opening/closing the blade attached to it? It is much more pronounced on the pivot with the serrated blade attached but it does happen on both.

Also, is anyone else straight-edged blade ground as unevenly as mine? It’s hard to show on camera but in my photo I’m trying to line up the arrows with where the grind ends on the Swedge of the blade. In person it’s very apparent when u look at the blade from the top like in my photo.
Title: Re: Wave Owners Club
Post by: Wspeed on July 10, 2020, 03:42:22 PM
No I have no movement on my pivots
when opening or closing the tools
I haven’t got the straight edge blade
on my Wave so I can’t check that for you
Hopefully someone else can answer that question for you  :tu:

I also do not have pivot movement, and I would not say that there is significant uneveness on my blade grind as shown.

You can take out the pivot bolt, clean the threads well (I use either acetone/nail polish remover or alcohol), add a drop of blue locktite, reinstall the bolt and adjust the blade's movement to your liking; that should fix it.
To loosen the pivot's bolt, engage pliers mode, squeeze both handles (this is to prevent movement of the female end of the pivot) and loosen using a Safety Torx 10 (T10H); usually, the bolts are on the file and saw side. If you feel like you're applying much force, check the other end and see if they're not inverted. Good luck!

Edit- if you do not feel comfortable tinkering or mind waiting, you may send it to Leatherman for warranty service, as it is a relatively new model (Silver andBlack series I presume?); might take a couple of weeks and you have to pay shipping, but it is the best CS from any corporation.

So I have to say I’m very disappointed with leatherman. I returned my wave because the pivot just kept getting looser and I ordered a charge + instead. Well the charge arrived and it’s even worse than the wave. The pivots don’t move thankfully but all the outside tools (both blades, file and saw) all rub on the inside of the scale when you’re opening and closing them AND even worse than that both serrated and plain blade have major lock rock... so bad you can easily see it moving never mind feel it. So needless to say I’m hoping third time is the charm? I’ve ordered another charge + and if this one is bad too I give up.

I don’t get it. I have a skeletool and a micra that I’ve used for years and have been through hell and back and they’re both still rock solid and flawless other than scratches and patina.

Sorry to hear all this, TPE, but let's hope that this new one will be the one to keep; I think that the Wave/Charge platform is the best due to the compact but robust frames, the tools included, and ease of adjustment. Now, if they'd came with factory installed awl... :drool:

Well.. I would just like to say that getting a premium charge does mean they put in extra care. These are mass produced parts. Luck plays a major part in this. The blade rubs probably cannot be avoided due to the liner lock pushing upwards. The blade play is the one that irks me the most. Some people will say its "normal" but that's BS.. Its the bloody QC that's not doing their job.

Here is my Wave+ with some modifications: the flat screwdriver became an awl (as it's very useful to drill a starting hole and already have the double bit PH1-2/Flat) and the eyeglass bit holder removed to make room for a magnifying glass. Also there are some SAK tweezers under the woodsaw (which, by the way, exchanged the place with the file). Next mod is to build a t-shank holder similar to the one that comes with the Surge (and with that my Wave will be just right).

Both are Wave +, and i do not know how much force was put on the handle

It seems the quality of the steel dropped a bit with these waves+. I got one that went rogue two days after purchase (brand new). It happend when I was opening the can opener tool just to make sure it moves smooth after oiling. I had it replaced by the seller on that very same day. Romania also.

That's my hope also... I would say that the technical solution adopted by LM for these locking tabs is not the best one. Just for the sake of serviceability I would have chosen some kind of a pin to hold the tab (even a riveted one). There is always a trade off and I would have happily trade off the short longevity of a mild stainless pin for the ability to replace it myself in case of a failure. Anyway, I've already stressed the can opener tool on the replacement Wave+ just to make sure it holds on. So far so good. Cheers!

@Juan: Indeed, the warranty service worked like a charm; as I said, that very day I had the faulty Wave replaced by the seller and got home with a new one (a silver-black one this time, as the seller had no more silver-only, and although it was not my favourite colour combination it was better than returning home with an empty hand and wait several days for the replacement from the country importer/distributer). This silver-black gave me a little hard time to "break-it-in" for achieving a smooth move because I had to dismantle it  and use sandpaper on every tool and then brake cleaner and afterwards some ptfe wd40 to lube all the parts. Then I bought some threadlock (blue one) for pins but it will have to wait till the next mods are done (blade exchanger for saws and a chisel instead of serrated blade which will become a double bevel straight blade and will replace the original straight blade). For now I'm waiting for the 5.5 mm hss-cobalt drill bit to start the mods.

Going through this theme I realized I never shared with you guys a full version of my profile picture. It seems that I'm only attracted to expensive hobbies and besides tool piling (and I don't only mean MT's and knives) and fishing I am also found of photography and videography. So one evening I spend 3 hours arranging tools, properly lighting the scene and editing the final shot. I love my Wave, it's my first multitool and since I got the clip for it I love it even more. So I wanted to emphasize it's usefulness and express my appreciation of it with this shot.

The modded Core (https://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,74592.150.html) is for my work EDC (loaded in a Nite Ize Pock-its XL). That leaves me in need of a MT for my off work EDC (also loaded in a Nite Ize Pock-its XL). My choices are OG Super Tool, an unused Rebar, or this used Wave. I love the OG Super Tool, but it is in good shape and completes my Super Tool collection. The Rebar is perfect for my off work EDC, but I have an aversion to using a new Leatherman. So, that leaves me with the dirty, used Wave that came along with the black ES4 that I bought some weeks ago.

I will probably leave my mark on this MT also.

Don’t know why I’ve never stopped by here before. For years I’ve obsessed over SAKs and other traditional slipjoint pocket knives and have been active on several related forums.
I suppose it’s because the Wave for me has always been just a tool. Nothing fancy, just pure utility. But, for ten years this multi tool has ridden on my belt and always served me well. It has been abused, neglected, help earn me a paycheck and gotten me out of countless jams. After a decade of almost daily use my Wave is still going strong, hell it seems as if it’s  just now getting broken in. Everything is still tight, no play anywhere. The only thing that is really worn is the diamond file, and even then it’s only mellowed to a finer grit which still works great for putting an edge on my other knives.
 
Even the original sheath is still going strong; the elastic flashlight holster is a bit loose but I sewed a leather extension over the top to make sure whatever I carry is secure.

I’ve bought other Multis since, even some that are technically nicer than the Wave in many ways, but the design to me is something that has yet to be surpassed for ease of carry and practicality, so the Wave remains on my belt.

I once found myself in need of straight pin to make my smartphone work and this thing is hard, almost impossible to replicate. Today, once again I popped the sim card in the iPhone right before I went out the door and thought it might be a good idea to have a pin on me. Now that's not a problem when I carry almost any of my SAKs but when I carry a MT I don't want to have a sak too. A Vic might seem redundant, but I might take a dedicated knife or two :D
Anyway, I was wondering how to carry a pin with the Wave. Looked around it and though that the space under the file looks promising since from the outside tools it's the least used, for me at least. I opened it up, trow the pin inside and closed the file. It closes well, it don't get in the way of using the other tools. Great, I just need to remember it's there if I need to use the file so I won't lose it. But when I turned the tool a few times the pin came out from the space between the file and the frame. Not cool, since I like to pocket carry that thing. It needed to have a bit thicker end so it won't fall out, maybe a handle of sorts. So I got a piece of bamboo earbud, drilled a 1.5 mm whole about halfway through, stuck the pin inside and filled the whole with few drops of super glue. Now it stays where it's supposed to and the file closes normally :multi:

Now you are taking my words out of context  :D
The problem for me is not having the pin when I need it, I wouldn’t call a problem carrying a SAK and Leatherman. I just prefer not to do it, for my use it makes more sense if I carry an MT and want something to back it up to use a folder with just a blade. Depending on where I’m going it can differ from various Case and Buck models to a Spyderco, Ontario Rat or lately - a Benchmade Bailout in m4.

I have two Wave Original, two Wave and one Wave+ models. New models are too tight to use, so somehow I like more those old ones, plier are not so smooth etc.

Post by: McStitchy on September 12, 2021, 10:48:56 AM
I think I know what you mean. While the old style pliers could be too loose sometimes, the newer ones can be too tight.
With the new pliers I usually apply some oil to the pivot and work them in.

Still have settle on the internal tools, and I may swap out a blade or two.

I think an awl could be a reasonable replacement for the original scissors?

Yes, my thought also. In fact, I have an awl ready to be installed. I do need to decided what to do about the small bit holder (keep it or replace it).

The scissors (and the awl) came from a Chinese MT discussed in this thread: https://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,87426.msg2245966.html#msg2245966

It was a J.O.B. to install the scissors. The positioning of the spring to ensure that there is tension caused me some trouble. I think it is probably easier to install the Surge scissors in the Wave, but I wanted to use these scissors.

For the scissor it is actually easier to use a dremel to cut and adjust while it is fitted. There alot of clearance to do it with the scissor sitting in the Wave's pivot. The scissors works really well.  :tu:

About 4 years ago my lovely partner got heavy into crafting.  She asked me to borrow my MT so I handed her my modded Wave.  That was the last time my Wave was mine  :D.  I've tried to trade her but when I gave her a Swisstool she took it and now she has both  :think:.  I offered her a Charge TTi but she likes the 91mm scissors.  I offered her a Surge but she she said she already had a full size MT  :facepalm: ( the Swisstool ). 

I've bought her a little plier set with wire cutters ( its also in her craft kit ).  I've given her Micras, 91mm SAKs with scissors, and other tools but like the Bermuda triangle they just disappear into her craft kit. 

I wanted to mod the Wave a little more for her but she's happy with it as is.   :salute:

So, here is Catherines Modded Wave.

Great mod and glad she uses and enjoys using it :salute: :like: :like:

I have given my wife smaller tools over the years like a Vic alox Classic or a Micra but she doesn't use them much :dunno:

My daughter on the other hand has several SAKs and a few Leatherman,  I could never trade her out of any of those :ahhh :D She uses them for crafting some as well as for regular everyday tasks :tu: I will buy her some regular tools to keep in her vehicle when she is old enough to drive and try to teach her how to use those :cheers:

I have been opening and closing this Wave Plus for hours to break in the handles and pliers. The pliers are nice and smooth now but the handles are going to take many more hours of opening and closing to get it to one hand flip open action. It's a lot better than when I first opened it new.

My first good LM tool was the Wave.  I say good but really its a great tool.  I picked this up early in my quest for MTs. 

I admittedly polished it a little.  I got it used and it looked as tho the previous person/s wasn't a collector.

Good day!

I am still in doubt whether to buy the Free P4 or Wave. I didn't like the idea of external bit sets of the wave.. but the more I look at them, the more it looks like a great addition.
So I am kinda leaning towards the Wave+ at the moment.

I would buy the Wave+ and the bit set.

But then you have the Leatherman Bit Driver Extender and also a Leatherman Ratchet Driver.

I think I really like the ratchet driver. If I order the Ratchet Driver, I don't need the extender right? :dunno:

So If I would buy a Wave+, bit set and ratchet driver, I do need a nylon sheath to fit those tools in it. Would that be the Leatherman Nylon Sheath Medium? I understood it could fit the Wave+, 1 bit set and a extender or ratchet. Is that correct?
Title: Re: Wave Owners Club
Post by: Poncho65 on February 13, 2023, 12:04:34 PM
I would definitely go with the ratchet driver :cheers: I have had one since they came out and use it quite often and it is lasting very well :tu: The Bit Extender is good but not needed if you have the ratchet :cheers:

I use a camo nylon sheath by Leatherman to hold what I need and I am not sure that the new medium will hold it all or not :think: it probably would but maybe someone will be along shortly that does use one and would know for sure  :salute:

A Wave+ arrived for me today!

I’ve been carrying a Rebar around for a while and I really like it. It’s a good size weight and the tools are great. Just one thing was annoying me though… having to open it up every time I wanted a knife.

So Wave to the rescue!

I hadn’t taken into account how much heavier it felt though! I’ll have to carry it a while and hopefully soon get used to it. That is until the Arc arrives.

The pliers are quite stiff and there is a fair bit of swarf around them. I hope that’s not gotten into the mechanism.. I’ve cleaned it up best I can for now until I can get to the garage later for a proper clean and reoil.

Post quick clean.. bits of swarf still showing..

Yep brand new. The file is bent slightly too. I believe this is how it goes! But if a shame really but it’ll be fine.. too much bother getting a replacement.

Congrats on your new Wave. I hope it sorts out :tu:

Paired with the Huntsman. Not that this combo makes sense, but it is BOF and 4LF after all :ahhh

I wish :facepalm: it is paint and very fragile :ahhh it still looks so great in person though  :drool: but I have seen many examples that aren't so great :ahhh the Micra had a similar paint finish at one time and LM should have learned from that but didnt :whistle: :D

I received a Wave+ in a trade.  The main blade wouldn't deploy easily, so I sent it in for repair.  They sent me this one back with a different looking plier head, some type of crimper or something.  :dunno:  I don't remember if it was there or not before sending it in.  :ahhh
I can't seem to find Leatherman selling this version anywhere.
Anyone have any information on this Wave+ with that plier?  Thanks in advance.
Date code looks to be 04 09 20.  Could that be?  Month, day, year?
Title: Re: Wave Owners Club
Post by: Poncho65 on November 06, 2023, 12:35:25 PM
They did put month day and year on some of them for a time :cheers: bot sure if they still do this or they stopped and no idea why they did this to begin with :think: :dunno:

It is a Tti Plus plier head and may be a leftover from after they stopped putting it on the Tti Plus earlier this year  :cheers: So, you have a rare one indeed :woohoo: :like:

Congrats FoBe :cheers: :tu:

Title: Re: Wave Owners Club
Post by: Poncho65 on November 06, 2023, 05:24:33 PM
It is a bit more rare than the regular BO ones but not totally uncommon :tu:

Used my modded Wave with 3D Phillips and awl.  Happy to have a PBMT at the ready. Removed insulation around old heat ducts. It was wrapped every 2 feet with wire. Some of it was salvageable so untwisted it with pliers. Some of it was rusted so just snipped with wire cutters.

// Wave - Gen 1

This was the second Leatherman I ever owned and the first one I ever bought back in 2000.  After 23 years, a couple rad signatures, and a new old stock box, I’m proud to retire it to the collection.
