![]() The Wave multitool's compact folded shape hides a wealth of tools and blades within. |
The most popular full-size Leatherman tool is now better than ever. Larger knives, stronger pliers, longer wire cutters and all-locking blades make the new Wave an essential piece of equipment for any job or adventure. The pliers have been redesigned to withstand more than double the previous squeezing load, and the new bronze bushing makes one-handed knife access a smooth operation--plus, the one-at-a-time blade selection function means that the tool you want is the tool you get. The versatile Wave comes with a durable and attractive leather/nylon combination sheath.
![]() The Wave includes several screw bits for added versatility. |
This Wave model has four exterior blades that can be accessed even while the tool is closed. (Note: the knife blade can only be opened when the tool is closed.) You can open the blades with one hand by placing your thumb in the thumbhole at the base of the blade, and rotating until the knife is fully extended. This securely engages the locking mechanism.
The saw and file both have nail nicks at their tips for easy access. The locking mechanism is marked with a padlock symbol on the tool itself. To unlock the blades, all you have to do is press the locking mechanism toward the handle until the blade slides past the lock.
Accessing the interior features is a snap, too--just grip the handles and rotate them open. Each interior blade can be opened by using the nail nicks. The scissors extend in the very same way, and they lock into place for secure, safe use. And, of course, it's easy to change the tool bits, too. Just remove the bit from the driver and pop a new one into place.
Optional Accessories (Not Included)
Expand your Wave's capabilities with the bit kit, offering 21 double-ended bits. Or, you can add a pocket clip and quick-release lanyard ring.

The Leatherman Tool Group and Its History of Quality
In 1975, Leatherman Tool Group founder Tim Leatherman was inspired by leaky pipes and a cranky car on a budget trip to Europe--and thus the idea for his first pocket survival tool was conceived. Since then, Leatherman has become an internationally recognized company with hundreds of employees and a wide variety of durable, versatile, stylish products. Created with bold designs and truly rugged construction, Leatherman products are a perfect addition for tool kits, emergency sets, and glove compartments everywhere.

Leatherman 830039 New Wave Multitool with Leather/Nylon Combination Sheath Reviews
148 of 154 people found the following review helpful ![]() Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Leatherman 830039 New Wave Multitool with Leather/Nylon Combination Sheath (Tools & Home Improvement) One thing that chaps my hide is a cheap tool. I don't like 'em, I don't buy 'em and I avoid using them if I don't have to. Leatherman is well known for their quality and they don't disappoint here.Good Points: This New Wave is extremely well built. Resists torque/twisting that some other multi-tools don't. Nice heft, but not too heavy to slip in a pocket. Smooth and comfortable finish in the hand. A really nice selection of functional tools. Great tool locking, easy to release (but only when you want!) I've used several other multi-tools and beyond the novelty, I never really enjoyed the flip out style (Gerber) because it seemed a bit unstable and difficult to put back. And most of the others cut into the palm. The only detractor is the price, but I don't mind paying for quality and this baby delivers. 93 of 103 people found the following review helpful ![]() This review is from: Leatherman 830039 New Wave Multitool with Leather/Nylon Combination Sheath (Tools & Home Improvement) A few days ago, I recieved this item as a gift. I've always been a multi-tool and Swiss-knife nut, so I'm not going to rant about how amazing the tiny scissors are like the first-timers.Right out of the box, there was none of the usual stiffness Leathermen usually have for the first couple days of use. Usually I have to toy around with all the extras while watching a movie marathon to get these things loose. But the Wave? Nice and loose, took me ten minutes to believe it. I was able to just slip it in a pocket before running off to a job, I'm the building's unnofficial handyman, and this silver darling didn't disappoint. A few days later, I've managed to use most of the tools enough to get a feel for the quality. The pliers are very easy to handle compared to my usual set of needles, I'm considering clearing that spot on my belt in favor of the pair on this multi-tool. The screwdrivers, both flatheads in eyeglass size and standard, worked very nicely...

Most reviews on Amazon and online forums are super positive. Does the Wave live up to the hype? Yes, to some extent, but it has some issues, mainly cost and weight.The good: This is a nice full-featured multitool. You get one plain-edge and one serrated knife, both can be opened with one hand without opening the whole tool. Useful set of scredrivers: large and medium plain, medium philips, micro plain and philips for eyeglasses. Wood saw, and nice metal file + saw. Can opener and kinda-OK scissors. All in all, good set of tools, and all lock securely in place. Of course, it also has full sized pliers :) The bad: - Heavy: 8.5 oz, or 240 grams. Too heavy to carry in my pants pocket. I don't carry tools on my belt, but probably this would feel heavy there also. - Because of the outside opening blades, there are sharp edges when the tool is closed, which I can imagine would eat...
