Fantastic Product

I was torn between the skeletool and the new Wave. Leatherman 830040 New Wave Multi-Tool with Nylon Sheath

Here is where they differ where it counts (to me):
1. The new wave is straight; your hand is not; however, the skeletool takes up more room in your pocket because of the shape and bottle opener on the end
2. The new wave has more tools than the skeletool; it has been my experience that the more tools one tries to fit into a multi-tool, the less practical and functional those individual tools are; The ONLY other feature that I wish it has is scissors;
3. The new wave looks like any other leatherman; I have to give the skeletool its due accolades on both cool looks and sleek design;
4. The skeletool does not come with a pouch; Hey if you like features, look at point 3 again.

Now for the bad;
1. It would have been nice for leatherman to include a T-8 to remove the pocket clip; this was annoying;
2. The second bit storage does not hang on to the bit well; the bit fell out a couple of times;
3. The holes and crevices hold dirt and grime.

That is it on pros and cons.

I have kept this tool on me for a month now. I can safely say that I use it several times each day. With multi-tools I have had before, I would get frustrated with the lack of feature or functionality and be reluctant to use it, finally leaving it to collect dust in my catch-all.
I can say without exaggeration that I use it at least 3 times a day and its is extremely useful. I would recommend this tool to anyone.

As a side note, I also purchased the extra bit pack Leatherman's Bit Kit expands your driver's capabilities with 42 Multitool steel Bits.. I do not use them nearly as much as I anticipated.

an exelent tool

This tool has become the only knife that i need to carry, the blade is made of good steel with one of the best grinds I have ever seen on a combo blade. The handle is solid when using the pliers, up to a point. you sacrifice some strength with such a light build but it can handle most light to medium use. The only real issue I have with this tool is the pocket clip, it bends very easily but it hasn't broken yet, so every week I unscrew the clip and bend it back into shape. This thing is about the same size as a regular pocket knife and rides in your pocket like one.

Better Than Expected

This tool is very light, versatile and very handy. The blade, to my surprise, was immensely sharp, much sharper than any knife I have owned. The knife was so sharp I actually slid my thumb across the serration on accident while trying to open it quickly and it took a chunk of skin off. I have never owned a Leatherman so I was quite happy and pleased with this model.

Exactly what he wanted

i got this for my husband's birthday and he loves it, it's lightweight so he can take it backpacking; it's also been handy just to have around on daily basis.

Nice tool...shame about the quality

Blade is really sharp shame it broke in half right across the small hole, I was cutting cardboard at the time,lol not like i was trying to cut concrete with it,Im still trying to figure out how i send this thing back.

good luck with yours.
