Great Wave/Charge review

Just came across this (which I'm sure some of you have already seen) and thought it was a really useful comprehensively written review.

I learnt at least one useful thing - my Ti has a hidden built in lanyard ring - who knew!

Yeah I've seen that one before, but it is a good (and I think very early) review.

I think it was Dunc who said he had the same problem with the lock release, something that never troubled me, but may be due to the size of your hands I guess.

Nice find

Yes it is a great review and when I first got into multitools and when multitool.org was just a twinkle in Grants eye and before I even new him I spent loads of time on Equipped to survive . Their Swisstool review was pretty good too .

As for the comment about the Wave/Charge locks becoming depressed during use

During my long term test with my current EDC ( Wave) I have ecounted it about 3 times and although it feels a little unnerving while you are pushing down on a screw the lock has yet to be depressed far enough for it to become disengaged .I really do rate the Wave , its not perfect but you could do an awfull lot worse .I'm even starting to like the bit changer

Although the mini bit changer should be replaced with an awl imo
