Well, I just got my Leatherman Blast almost a week ago, and even though I was skeptical at first, because of it's slight weight, it's turned out to be a real trooper. I've used it daily at work, and it works just as good as my Wave did, with the exception/improvement that there is no pinching of my skin between the handles when using the pliers. I also love the old school look of it. I Have the Wave and the Swiss Tool, but for the price (I got my Blast for 35 dollars), I'd say it's a really good buy.
