@@702johnny The surge is great, but it needs a few tweaks like a thicker blade. It's annoying to have such a thin flimsy blade on that heavy frame.

Every multitool will fit someone's needs. And this fits mine. I bought it even after watching this video. I work in the Nuclear power industry and we have walls with many valve handles on them that all look the same. So once we identify the correct valve by floc numbers. We don't take our eyes or hands off of it. Because if you use 2 hand and look at your tool you could operate a different valve when you look back up. And believe me no one wants that in this industry. Many valves are locked into position with zip ties and wire locks that I need wire cutters and the knife for. I can identify the correct valve with the procedure in my left hand touching the correct valve while I open my P4 with my right hand without my eyes leaving the correct valve and I can cut off the locking device. Procedure in hand is a policy for us and it why this tool fits my needs. And if I need anything else along the way I have the tools in my pocket. Looking to swap out the saw for a something I will use at work. I'm dreaming of the switchblade version now.

I love the dry humor and great thorough review 👍🏼

Thanks KnifeBro! This is the first honest review, I am myself wave fan for more than 15 years. My other leatherman favorite - hard working blast is loose enough to be open with one hand

I have a heavybeastSurge, Wave, 300 and now a P4... almost comically the one tool thats missing from the P4 everyone is crabbing about is the bit driver that I dont think I've ever used once on the Surge or Wave across however many years. In short.. the P4 is a fanfreakintastic bush/camp/trekking tool. I highly recommend thinking through the multiple flat tips and modifying them to your liking. I made one into a legit chisel w/ zero micro bevel, another into a very small (eyeglasses) flat-tip and worked over the awl a bit. Honestly, I'd like to keep the rounded/toothy pliars part, but move it back and toss out the hard wire cutters entirely, and replace the needlenose with flushcut side cutters. Needle nose pliars aren't really needed in the bush, but squeezing/twisting and picking up hot stuff is.. so I guess the damn pliars get to ride despite adding 5oz to my already fatass and load.

Thank you. I wanted a legitimate comparison and appreciate your thoroughness. You’ve convinced me that the Wave is the way to go.

Nice comparison video. You are a funny guy and had me chuckling out loud. After looking carefully at the new P4 and thinking about how I actually use my Wave+, I can honestly say, I'm not buying the new model for several reasons: 1) I don't care about 1-hand operation. I was born with 2 hands and I've come to rely on the coordinated way they work together. When would I ever need to use only one hand? 2) I'm a hiker/camper guy and I need the little, tiny screw driver to adjust the declination on my compass. No other tool will do that. 3) I use the metal file frequently to do quick and easy sharpening of knives and axes. What changes would I make to the Wave+: I would gladly give up the serrated-edge knife for an awl (like the SAK has) The "awl" on the P4 is not a real awl anyway; too big and clunky and doesn't meet my needs for repairing things like 1000 denier packs and tents. It just doesn't. But, the Wave+ doesn't have an awl either, so this is a push. So, the bottom line for me is the new Leatherman is not a competitor with the Wave+ because it doesn't do as many important functions. Also, I couldn't care less about one-handed flipping of my multi-tool and I don't care whether the auxiliary tools are on the outside, or the inside. But, thanks for your thoughtful and humorous review/comparison. You made my day.

I like that you do all the dimensions with the blue line. That is helpful.

Thank you, I'm going to buy the surge

Both informative and entertaining, very good!

What's honestly interesting to me is everyone's conception that you can't open the surge or wave with one hand. I personally use these tools everyday on-the-job doing electrical work with one hand holding up the light in the other flipping open my multi-tool. And trust me I am not overly coordinated lol. Great video keep it comin

I bought Both the P models. My main problem is deciding which one to carry in the left front pocket and which in the right. Gets a little Heavy at times but, I feel like I am Prepared for Life. My Wave got delegated to the back pocket, right next to my Surge. Almost 30 ozs of Multitool Perfection...Yea Baby!

I just opened with one hand every tool on my Leatherman P4 wearing a glove. Now that is an amazing tool.

I’m awl in on this video. Welcome back bro.

Thank you, you've changed my mind, just in time.

I bought into the hype, bought a Free a few days after it came out, carried it daily (as I used to do with my Wave) for about 15 days, then sold it. Several of the tools bent on me with hard use, and I found I just couldn't live without my bit driver function, plus I got tired of bruising the back of my thumb/hand flipping the damn thing open. It just isn't worth the extra cost, it's not an IMPROVEMENT on the Wave, it's just DIFFERENT. As a side note, I can open my Wave one-handed, it broke in very nicely after a couple years use.

My man!

Thanks for comparing all the tools. Sometimes it's difficult getting a good idea of how things work from Leatherman's website. Either way I think I'll stick with my wave. I can open the pliers with one hand extremely easily. I can also access the saw and file with one hand with a slight amount of fidgeting. Additionally I can access most of the internal tools as well with one hand. Although that requires a level of fidgeting that could result an accidentally dropping the tool. However I've never really needed to access those tools one-handed. But the slight ergonomic issues you pointed out would probably end up annoying me. All in all I'll probably stick with my Leatherman Wave. Although more than likely I'll end up having to buy one so I can make sheets for it. Just like the stupid Gerber Center Drive. Due to this I've had the opportunity to try a bunch of other multi-tools over the years and still go back to my Leatherman Wave. I even own two of them. Mainly because I make gun holsters and knife sheaths, an the wave is fairly popular. So I usually need a spare to mold off of. But also because I have broken tools on my way before and like to have a backup while the other one is out for warranty repair. In my opinion it's still the most versatile multi-tool on the market.

I have both of them, and I have to say the Free P4 is much better. Why ? Onehand opening tools (pliers, knifes, saw, scissor), a little ruler, a better scissor, a smaller tip pliers, 154CM steel exchangeable cutters, a longer cutting edge on the pliers, Torx screws which you can tighten if they become loose, way of better looking, a pocket clip. These are all things you can't find at Victorinox. Leatherman is the more innovative company, compared the Victorinox. Victorinox designs a tool and produces it for the next 20 years, without changing anything. Leatherman invented more new things and brings them to the market.

I just cant live without that diamond file. As a blacksmith and and outdoorsmen I use the diamond file as much if not more than the pliers. Everytime I think about carrying a different multi tool I end up missing my diamond file Haha. Great video!

Hey thanks for the realistic and down to earth review. I’m a big fan of the wave/surge/charge leatherman and used my wave a lot before I got into aviation, but I can’t use it anymore due to the bits being a potential source of fod on the plane. (inb4 personal tools on aircraft defeat the point of tool control, we allow it at my unit so suck it) I’ve been using a sidekick for a while now and do like it but was wondering if leatherman had come out with something a bit more robust that looked interesting to me. I’m glad I got to watch your video and see what this tool was all about, and honestly I think I’m just gonna stick to my sidekick. It’s a nice and simple tool (although I had to grind the flathead a little bit smaller to be able to use it on cam locks) and I don’t see how this new tool can justify the rather expensive price tag. I look forward to seeing more of your videos!
