This knife had been in my pocket for around 5 years with regular use (and sometimes abuse). Would recommend, it's a good selection of actually usable tools to have on you for those times when you aren't carrying a toolbox. Sometimes I've used the pliers even when I do have my toolbox with me, which is not something you would consider with a lot of cheaper multitools.

Over time the casing did become more silver than black and I did manage to break a few things - the can opener didn't like taking a chain link clip off, the precision screwdriver didn't like being used to pry at something (part of inside a door lock from memory), and the large flathead failed when popping a partition cover port off. I thought that last one wasn't something that should have broken the tool so after a few months I finally got around to sending it back for warranty over that and they replaced it without question.

Both times were a form spring fracturing and falling out and both times I only noticed while pulling it out of my pocket not even while using it. And I only used it lightly. Different springs not the same one twice.

The first one was one I had laser engraved w my contact info direct from Leatherman and they said they couldn’t fix it so the gave me a different knife back. That was complete bullshit that they couldn’t fix it. So I was already pissed. Then after it happened with the replacement with a different spring i stopped using it. I’ll have to mail it in again but they can suck shit and die.

Wave+, originally bought in 2022 iirc.
