Great adds Bob

The Wave Iceman add often appeared in magazines here in the UK a few years back but the others I've not seen before .

Seems to me these ads for the Wave should say something like "Able to tackle any problem requiring a flathead screwdriver!"

Yes, but my biggest complaint is that many manufacturers (and LM is the worst at this IMHO) waste valuable space inside a tool by providing many, many flatheads. It's cheaper than designing or machining another tool to fit in the same slot, and yet still manages to make a tool look like it has more functions.

At least Victorinox, SOG and Gerber integrate the flathead into some other tools, like bottle openers, can openers, orange peelers, nail files and so on.
