Learned a lot of new things about the lineup. And that hair looks sharper then the knives

At work they issued it for us almost every 3 years. I already had three of the models you showed and boy they are really durable . Surge .wave and rebar . Great video 👍🏼

My first leatherman is on its way, went for the wave plus. Can't wait .

My absolute favorite multi-tool was the Super Tool but I put it down and one of my "coworkers" walked off with it 16 years ago since then it been the Wave. Great video.

The first really good multi-tool I had was a Gerber suspension it really blew me away for being on the cheaper side and a really good set of tools. I then got a Leatherman Rev which I carry to work because I know what I'm getting into throughout the work day. When I'm not at work I carry a Leatherman Wave which I love and is by far my favorite multi-tool with pliers. I also carry a Leatherman Tread which comes in handy more than you would think, that is always on my wrist, when shit hits the fan its nice to know that I have many tools at my disposal... However bottle openers become really redundant I carry three on the daily...

A little late to the party but I just found your chan. nice video. I myself have had a lot of leatherman tools starting with the PST but my favorite for edc is the skeletool cx. Over the years I have found that I don't use most of the tools often enough to carry the larger leatherman tools. Now, when I go fishing, hunting or camping I switch to the rebar.

One that I have used for quite a while is the Leatherman Wingman it has held up very well.

I love the really classic look of the Rebar.. but I like all Leatherman Multitools a lot.. you can never go wrong with anyone of them. Nice video, as usual ;)

Leatherman Core®️ is a must. I have one which was brand new on the day it was launched here in Norway. I have switched case several times,but always kept the tool😊

Posted a comment on the Prepared Minds page on this, but here as well. Love the Wave. Have carried it EDC for well over a year now and use it multiple times a day in the busy commercial kitchen that I work in as well as everywhere else. Love it!

Nice video, as always. Very thorough and comprehensive. I have to say, I'm "Old School" when it comes to multi tools. I have an original Leatherman and a Gerber that I carried back in the 90s when I was in the Navy. I prefer the Gerber of the two, but both are still going strong! One in the truck and one I carry for work.

I have the Skeletool, bought it so I would have a lighter weight option backpacking and it's durability has impressed me. I've had a few other brands of multi-tools that just don't hold up mostly because they can't seem to get the metallurgy right. Either the plier's metal is too soft or the knife blades are too brittle. Leatherman seems to have it figured out.

I modified it into a blunt nose pliers multitool I love it even with the extra weight the beefier features it offers more than makes up for it.

I really didn't get on well with the skeletool personally. It functioned very well as a knife, but the pliers felt far too fragile for my liking, plus they're not really needle nosed when compared to stuff like the charge and wave. I liked the idea of the bit driver position in theory, one less step to access it, but due to the shape of the handles I found it felt quite awkward compared to the straight handles of the charge, wave etc. It felt like it was primarily designed as a knife, then had a bit of extra functionality tacked on as an afterthought

These are like UNBREAKABLE Swiss Army Knives !

I got a green wave to you had to get them while supplies last

RVing Live The Dream just came back from a camping trip with a brand new Leatherman Wave+ (birthday present) I can tell you it is an absolutely fantastic tool for the money. You can even get it engraved for free with the name of your RV so the knife ‘belongs’ to the vehicle. I couldn’t stop messing around with it to the point where I was starting to look like a knife obsessed maniac. Definitely definitely recommend it.

One of the best review videos I’ve seen in awhile. Straight forward, to the point, little extraneous BS that wastes time. Thx. I still can’t get my OHT pliers to flick out...may have to lube them or practice my poor technique. Thx

Great video as always, Ben! I have yet to buy one, but just going on the list of included tools, the Wave and the Surge are my favorites. How heavy is the Surge? It would be my EDC multi-tool, so weight is a little bit of a concern. I don't mind some heft, but I don't want a dumbbell in my pocket either lol. Probably going to go with the Wave for EDC and have a Surge in my pack eventually. One just minor comment/question, though. Why have both the serrated blade and the saw on the same tool? I just don't see the point of having a serrated blade in the tool when it already has a saw lol. Just my opinion.

@livingsurvival

+kpw528 i'd go with the wave as the surge is heavy yes. both are fairly heavy but the wave is smaller. the saw is good for cutting notches in wood for traps and bow drill sets as well as small sawing. the serrated blade is good for cutting rope.

You are so good at survivalism it is hair raising. Thank you for this. In the UK a fixed blade is illegal, so I was wanting to know if I can swap over the saw and knife blades so it is a fixed saw and legal if the right blade lengths. It would maybe increase UK prices if the Surge and Wave had a non locking knife blade, or have that option if you swap 2 blades. Neither is a legal carry here, especially if it can be seen in a belt sheath. So for me I will stick with the good old Swiss Army Champ.

@simonh6371

Yeah I know mate it''s annoying that we can't carry so many multitools legally. I even have my doubts about the knifeless Rebar because it has a pretty stabby looking awl which you can lock in place. I was looking at a long-discontinued Kick which an obscure webshop has some old stock laying around of but someone told me even the non locking blade on that isn't 100% kosher because if the plier handles are together, one of the handles will block it from folding into the other one completely (and stop it chopping your finger off) so apparently that's not neccessarily an option. So for a larger bag carry multitool I have the Gerber MP600 bladeless, I carry a SAK or Bokerplus anyway so I always have a legal folding blade. Otherwise I have a Squirt for ultralight pocket carry, or a SOG micro toolclip which I clip on my belt.

Good stuff ! I actually carry ,and use, Leatherman gear everywhere I go. On my keychain is the best mini tool ever the Micra, small light, and strong enough for most little tasks. My pocket EDC tool is the Sidekick, medium duty, pocket clip. Its similar to the Wingman, but I like the saw instead of the scissors, which I have on the Micra. My EDC/daypack carries the Charge TTI Cabelas edition, camo with black tools, heavy duty, and strong. I was able to use the sheath it comes with to make a mini kit, with the bit kit, extension, a small ferro rod, striker/hacksaw blade, nail wrapped with duct tape, and some paracord. I hope to get the new Surge with the replaceable carbide wire cutters and interchangeable blades/tools, saws, files. The MUT AR tool is another possibility for the range bag, and I like the Raptor medical tool for my first aid kit....Leatherman just makes some of best.
