Some great prices on a great range of Leatherman EDC multi-tools thanks to the current eBay 20% off promo. Picked up the Leatherman Wave with Nylon sheath for just over $100. Retails for $199 locally (BCF) and currently AU$123 + postage from Amazon. There is quite an extensive range of models available, but some highlights are:

-From a Leatherman newbie… Overwhelmed by the choices!
- ATreeFiddy on 09/01/2017 - 10:59

  Completely understandable! If its your first multi-tool the Wingman is a great place to start for just over $50. Personally I went for the Wave because of the extra features I'd use (didn't want a partially serrated blade and wanted interchangeable screwdriver bits and a saw) but obviously it's almost twice the price too.
- vestrosaurus on 09/01/2017 - 11:08

  I have (and ranked in order of class):
  
  Leatherman Squirt PS4
  Leatherman Rev
  2x Leatherman Wingmans
  Leatherman Sidekick
  Leatherman Wave
  
  I highly recommend the Wingman for general purposes. (MUCH better than Rev - why? Scissors, plus spring-loaded pliers). The pliers on the Wingman are arguably better than the Wave. Also, the Wave, while having more tools has hugely inferior scissors to the Wingman (but a better blade).
  
  The Sidekick and the Wingman are pretty much the same tool design, however you trade Scissors (Wingman) for Wood Saw (Sidekick) and lose the awesome package opener tool (Wingman).
  
  TLDR:
  
  Pocket? Squirt PS4
  Moron? Rev
  Camping? Sidekick (or Wave too, I guess)
  Around The House? Wingman (or Wave too, I guess)
  Garage/Toolkit? Wave
  - Bargain Seeker on 09/01/2017 - 11:16
    
    Would you say the wingman spring loaded pliers could break, in terms of the spring. Just curious why the more expensive wave wouldn't have them, I'm trying to decide which to get. The lack of a sheath and the additional cost factors in to.
    
    Thanks muchly for you breakdown too.
    - vestrosaurus on 09/01/2017 - 11:28

      Not sure Spring Loaded = Cheap, as the Rev doesn't have spring loaded pliers and it's budget as.
      
      The Wave's pliers are a bit beefier than the Wingman, but it's not that much different. Never thought the Wingman wouldn't be able to handle something and like I needed to go get my Wave. I suppose if you were doing SUPER heavy duty very frequently - but then you'd probably just use real pliers for that. Honestly, even the Squirt can take quite a beating. I love the Squirt - fits in the coin pocket in your pants. Indispensable!
      
      I also have about 20 Victorinox/Swiss Army Knives. I'm a bit crazy.
      
      Edit: By the way, the Wingman has a Pocket Clip included - but no sheath. I find the Pocket Clip to be awesome.
      
      Edit 2: PS. I'm not anti-Wave! I love my Wave too!
    - Bargain Seeker on 09/01/2017 - 11:44
      
      @vestrosaurus: Thanks. I might weigh up wingman and sheath cost vs wave and make a decision
      
      Edit: When I factored in the sheath protection case, I went with the Rebar. Thoughts? I need the carry pouch for my job and the difference is less than $3 I think
  - Praeto on 09/01/2017 - 12:18
    
    As someone who owns almost every model of Leatherman, I'm surprised the Skeletool wasn't included.. I know 2 - 3 other people with multiple Leathermans, and the Skeletool CX is always a favourite.
    
    I find that camping is when I make the most use of these tools. Personally I like the Charge TTi, but the Signal isn't bad either.
    - vestrosaurus on 09/01/2017 - 12:23
      
      I agree. The Skeletool CX is on my wish list. It's a bit light on the tools (kind of the point) and I have a lot of really good knives (with good steel) so I've never taken the leap. Personally, I like to carry my Victorinox Cadet in Red Alox the most. It's certainly not the most functional but boy is it puuuuurdy!

      Hey mate,
      
      Any recommendations on what would be useful during life in the Military? Needs to take a lot of pain.
    - Praeto on 10/01/2017 - 01:23
      
      @Ruptur3:
      
      Probably worth checking out the MUT or the MUT EOD. The MUT is focused on firearms maintenance, while the EOD is more focused on explosives. That said, if you have no need for firearms maintenance or explosives in what ever role you have in the military, any of the other tools might suffice. If you don't mind the additional weight over the smaller multitools, the Charge TTi is a good all rounder.
    - Ruptur3 on 10/01/2017 - 01:48
      
      Uh. What i'm shooting for is Combat Engineer,so i can definitely imagine i'd be doing both. But yeah, i'll definitely check them out. Cheers.
  - nowlan on 09/01/2017 - 17:47
    
    Was under the impression Juice S2 was best value.
    Isnt on list, although seller has it.
    Ultimately i view these as a compromise. Use the right tool for job. Im not a maintenance person.

Picked up a Leatherman squirt over 10yrs ago from credit card points. Has been the most used and reliable tool in that time, highly recommended. Just remember to take it off your keychain if catching a flight!
Edit: The reason I highly recommend it is due to its quality and its size allows you to carry it everywhere. The tools are basic-knife, scissors and screwdriver which makes the tool a simple assistant.
I have the older version with scissors where the pliers are, so looks like upgrade time!
phuzz on 09/01/2017 - 12:26

  i've been carrying this tool for a few years. week point is probably the scissors — the spring bar can snap if you're trying to cut something a bit stiffer. i've just bought spare scissors off ebay and replaced it myself.

Guys, has anyone had any issues carrying these overseas (in checked in luggage)?

These multitools would be great for travelling abroad because there's times when you need to cut something (i.e. fruit in a hotel room) or scissors to open packaging etc and this would be really handy.
- ATreeFiddy on 09/01/2017 - 12:50
  
  Haven't personally tried, but as the majority contain a knife and/or scissors would strongly suggest against trying this in your carry on at least!

    Awesome! But I take it you guys wouldn't be walking around with it in your handbag/daybag incase you get audited by the cops?
    
    Reason I ask is in places like Thailand, they sometimes randomly search your bags at the train stations, so dunno the implications if you get caught with one of these, even if your intentions are purely to use it "just incase I need it"
    
    So I take it this might be one of those things that remains in the hotel room

Hmm. My Leatherman Squirt PS4 was a bit of a disappointment as the pliers broke. I was expecting a bit more but maybe it was just my expectations. I have been thinking of getting a new one, not the squirt though, to hang off my keyring. I might just try a no-name cheapo after that experience. If anyone has any recommendations please let me know.

I've had the surge for about three years now and has been one of the most useful things I use. It almost gets used every day. Take it on every overseas trip. Absolutely necessary for backcountry camping, but a good companion around the house, gardening, bike maintenance, almost everything!

Edit: Only complaint is that it's a bit heavy, and I broke the saw piece quite easily. However, those are replaceable and the build quality is great.

  As this is ozbargain, if anyone else wants to do this it's about $4 cheaper to get the Wave with 42 bit kit (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/LEATHERMAN-WAVE-STANDARD-STAINLES…) then get the bit extender separately (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NEW-LEATHERMAN-Bit-Driver-Extende…). This works out at exactly $152.

  Don't own a black Leatherman, so maybe someone with one can comment further, but was steered away from it based on a number of reviews stating the black oxide comes off on your hands for at least the first few uses and it shows scratches more than the stainless steel finish. Shame, because it looks great.

So I got a hobby farm at and going to do some hunting as well and it will be my first multi tool. I like the nylon sheath so should I go for wave or wingman and can I use the attachment heads on both these
- ATreeFiddy on 09/01/2017 - 18:03
  
  The Wingman obviously doesn't come with a sheath so this would be an additional $20 or so if you want one (something like this -> http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/LEATHERMAN-NYLON-SHEATH-WINGMAN-S…). Assuming you mean the interchangeable bits with your second question? (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/LEATHERMAN-42-BIT-KIT-MULTI-TOOL-…) If so the Wingman has a fixed phillips head and 2 fixed flat tip screwdrivers; you can't use these bits with it, while you can with the Wave.
  - neonlight on 09/01/2017 - 18:20
    
    So does the clip come with Wingman or sold seperately? in that case, if I want to carry with me, should I buy a sheath? $20 is quiet a bit consider its only $53 item…
    - ATreeFiddy on 09/01/2017 - 18:42
      
      Yes, the Wingman comes with a pocket clip (which is an optional accessory on the Wave). Have always kept my leatherman in a sheath, but agree it's relatively expensive as a standalone purchase! It's probably not an absolute necessity, though does help protect from scratches.
    - neonlight on 09/01/2017 - 19:04

My first Leatherman is a Wingman and it was a right decision! A few things I love about it:
+ The spring-action plier: I found it's much more convenient compared to a normal one. Not sure why the flagship Wave doesn't have it.
+ The spring-action scissor: this is the reason why I chose the Wingman over the Sidekick. Believe me, you will use the scissor more frequent than you think!
+ The package opener: very handy indeed
+ The pocket clip: sometimes you can just clip it to your pocket and bring it around, no need for a sheath.
PS: a wingman, true to its name!

Works out at $157.60. Considering they want $15 or so just for the clips(!), if you're after them an extra $5 on top of my previous combo seems a good way to do it.
