    Amazing warranty from Leatherman.
    I originally bought my Wave 18 years ago. About 10 years ago I was using the file to pry something and it snapped, (DOH!) lesson learned; never use a file to pry stuff, it's brittle steel. I continued to use it with the broken file all these years until I went to their website two months ago thinking about buying a new one . I learned about their 25 year warranty. I decided to mail my Wave in, thinking that they would repair it for a cost, after all the damage was my fault. They ended up sending my a brand spanking new Wave, for free! How cool is that?

      I always use the dedicated "flathead screwdriver" as a pry bar and I have never had any issues. When it comes to Leatherman's customer service I have never heard anyone complain. They really do take care of their customers and always make it right the best way they can. They understand how important their tools are and how much we rely on them and they take pride in making sure we get treated the best way possible.

      I had my Wave from 1998 to 2018 and used it every day, it was the most useful tool I’ve ever owned.
      Working a theatre production just about 12months before covid hit and I snapped the straight blade on my Wave, and I cried. I couldn’t afford to buy a replacement at that time and I felt like I had lost a part of my body!
      One of the other production guys told me about their warranty so I downloaded the forms off the website, filled them in and sent everything back to them.
      I less than 1 week I had a brand new wave+ delivered to my door for no cost!
      The best company I’ve ever had to deal with just so happen to make the most useful tool I’ve ever owned.

      @@newageselfreliance - Let me raise my hand! Over the past 30 years I have had several issues. Sent them a broken unit and they said they never received it, supplied them a delivery receipt from USPS second day mail, and they simply responded that shows the post office delivered it, not that we received it. Another time the handles collapsed while trying to free a bolt that kept slipping. They said that wasn’t its function, warranty denied. Leatherman’s lifetime warranty only applies if they can’t blame the user.

    • @newageselfreliance

      Does the clip spring back into place or does the Leather open the gap? I guess the real question is does the pocket clip still fit tight in your pocket or has it loosened over time?

    I use the nylon sheath same way you do, but instead of ferro rod I have a small flashlight in the spare pocket on the side of the sheath, so when I must repair something in dark, I have an option to do so (the flashlight also has clip, so I can put it on my baseball cap and use it as a headlamp). I really like leather sheaths for my tools, but this nylon sheath is really way more practical.

    I have a leather sheath and it has 1 elastic pocket that will hold 1 of the bit holders. I ordered the set of 2 bit holders and carry the bits I will likely use, around cars, if I think I my need the others I bring them along. Leatherman sells the bits and holders in a Set, Bit Kit Replacement #1, and Bit Kit Replacement #2. I've been thinking about buying the nylon sheath so I carry both bit sets, not sure how much I will use the other bits and if I want to put up with the extra weight. Your video was good.

    • @newageselfreliance

I rarely wish I had a torx or square bit on me, but I always enjoy not having the extra weight on my side.

    I use the lanyard with a loop around my wrist (the thing you threw away) during times when I could lose the tool, like when fishing in a boat unhooking a fish, or once when working over a septic tank. Of course, the Wave has a built in lanyard ring so I guess you could use that.

    • @newageselfreliance
      @newageselfreliance  5 років тому +1

      That is a good idea to use it for fishing. Personly I would use the built-in Lanyard ring just because it is built into the tool and can not accidentally be removed. Even though the detachable one is more convenient to use because you can leave the lanyard attached, I would still use the one that is built-in.

    Just missing an awl, which is a major lack for bushcrafters and woodworkers. But easy enough to make one for the bit-holder, or to carry a separate small awl in the side elastic. I wish for a Wave-size Surge. I use the Surge for bushcrafting, but it is to big for many.
    But in any case, nice job making it clear about sheaths and options. Many are indeed confused or disappointed but different sheaths and fitting in add-ons. Thanks!

  • @marctestarossa
    @marctestarossa 5 років тому +2

    I typically prefer Leather over Nylon and the Push-Button over Velcro. My problem with carrying the Wave on my belt is, that you constantly get caught on something with the holster. The push-button is just not tight enough and it accidentially opens occasionally and I keep checking all the time, if it's still closed. That compared with the versatility of the Nylon sheath plus velcro makes it (at least for me) superior. Carrying the Wave without having at least some bits doesn't make too much sense for me. If I want to go out ligth and compact, I go with the Wingman.

    I like the way you explained the different options and how it can be configured different ways. Personally, I would go with Gerber Center Drive over the Leatherman Wave, as it comes with a standard bit set and nylon sheath that holds everything. Overall though, I definitely love Leathermans and own many of them. Their warranty rocks though, as I've had a couple tools break and they replaced them no questions asked.

    • @newageselfreliance
      @newageselfreliance  6 років тому

      I have heard a lot of really good things about the Center Drive. I have owned a Gerber and I like the features and the feel of the leatherman. I may have to give the Center Drive a chance though I didn't realize it came with so much.

    • @israelipiper
      @israelipiper 6 років тому

      I have the CenterDrive. I have to say that with the extension, the Leatherman with the bit driver socket has as good a reach. The trick is open up the handles into one straight line on the Wave or Surge. Also same for the SwissTool Spirit, which has good-length drivers, especially the Phillips. The body of the CenterDrive blocks any deeper use of the long driver holder. I often get better reach, or nearly the same, with Leatherman and driver extension. The Gerber is ok, but then the inside tools are not as good as Leatherman or Victorinox. Prone to brittleness and snapping off.
      I have over 30 multitools, Gerber, SOG, Leatherman, Victorinox. All have good points, but I have to say I own and use a Wave, a Supertool, and a SwissTool over 20 years old, including useage from my goat dairy days--nearly a thousand head. Leatherman and Victorinox have proven themselves.

    @VectorPowers 4 роки тому +1

    Keep in mind nylon has much higher tensile strength. It looks flimsy but its not. Rigid does not always=strength. The leather sheath looks amazing and thats it. Its actually more prone to wear from moisture as opposed to nylon which can last ages.

    • @newageselfreliance
      @newageselfreliance  4 роки тому +1

      The sheath isn't being used for its tensile strength it is being used to hold up to the friction of the tool going in and out on a daily bases. The leather holds up over time and doesn't separate or come apart as the Nylon does. The Leather can also handle more wear from the tool going in and out of the sheath multiple times a day. That is why Gun holsters and Knife sheaths are made of leather. That said I still use the Nylon sheath because it holds more gear. I like being able to carry the bit kit with me from time to time. Most days I just use the pocket clip but if I'm going somewhere that I might actually need to use the Leatherman I make sure to have everything with me.

So for me, the Standard Wave Is my favorite because I don't have to worry about any screws coming loose and losing my cutters altogether. However, if you use your wire cutters all the time, I know how important a good sharp set is and so being able to have a clean cutting set of wire cutters whenever you need it without having to carry anything extra would be nice as well.

      @@rooster-cord2800 I like the idea of scout carry because it seems to be less in the way running along the belt instead of hanging off from it. However, every time I carry in scout I worry about it falling out or gravity working against me instead of with me. The paranoia far out ways the convince for me. One of these day I should just suck it up and do it but for right now I'm not gonna risk losing my favorite tool.

      I don't use the sheath enough to buy another one. I still use the Velcro Original. It gets the job done.

      Wolf Pack Woodcraft check out the RAE sheath, trust me you won’t be disappointed.

    Nice video Kory. I am not a fan of the multi tool. I use tools everyday for work and the multi tool is not one of them! I do have one in my Jeep emergency tool box but I have never used it. I didn't buy it, it just showed up in my possession.

      Nothing beats having the right tool for the job. However, having a selection of "good enough" tools in your pocket at all times really comes in handy more than you would think.

      I did not know that. I'm not really a lanyard fan but I may have to do a video showing how to use that. Thank You so much for sharing your knowledge.
