So you are back to carrying the Wave, Navajero?
kept getting hit by my Wave, but have since decided, I DO love the Wave, and it's my damn fault I've gotten hurt.
Very well put Navajero I personally EDC my Blast more because I would rather damage it vs. my Wave which is kinda silly since it's a tool and should be used but I have just gotten use to having it with me @ work I need to start using my Wave more and taking it to work instead I guess
I do really like my Blast but I would probably never have gotten it if I had gotten the Wave first If I had to choose to just keep 1 I would choose the Wave Like LM123 said it does feel more heavy dutyHope that helps
OK, so, perhaps I will NOT be carrying my Wave anymore. Everytime I try to give my Leathermans the benefit of the doubt, they fail me. I was using my Wave to take apart the door knob to our room, and the bit driver broke. After all this time of me defending the bit drivers, how they are not so bad, how I torque and torque on them and they've held tough, here one breaks on me. AND I WASN'T EVEN TORQUING that much. DAMN. So, I think I am done with anything called Leatherman. The tools are more functional then the Vic's, perhaps, but as for durability, this is my THIRD Leatherman to go caput. A spring broke off the back of my XE6, the lock broke on my Blast, and now the bit driver on my Wave. I guess from now on, I will sink or swim with my Swisstool.
Did you run over a black cat or something Navajero316?Maybe someone at LM is out to get you I would recount everything precisely to LM if I were you, they'll obviously replace the broken bit, but when they hear your hard lucj story, maybe they'll send you some freebies. Can't hurt can it?
Not necessarily a knock against Leatherman per say, but as far as my personal experience with them, I am seriously disappointed.
Tis true - non of them are really necessities!You may have a point about the old tools having less to go wrong, well in fact its definitely the case isn't it? Either way, LMs aren't cheap, and if mine kept breaking - I'd get them replaced. Even if you don't intend to use them, you may as well have one in good repair in the drawer - after all you have paid for it!As for not believing? That's just you being on a downer 'cos you're annoyed atm. It's a Leatherman, they're good tools - you've just had bad luck!

Has your Swisstool survived your use so far?

I have a Kick and while it does feel light it never failed me. I doubt it's as heavy duty as a Supertool but it's certainly no slouch. I never worried about breaking it.

I never worried about breaking it. I keep a Kick among my diabetic supplies. I use the wire cutter to chop up my insulin needles after using them. Don't want the needles to fall into the hands of some junkie!!
Good man , very civic minded of you
Good thought bro in this country they just go to a needle exchange and demand clean ones even if they have left the dirty ones where a child could find them.My friends little boy went through two years of blood tests many moons ago thanks to one of these vermin leaving a dirty needle lying at there disease ridden arse
