The Leatherman Wave+ is the flagship 18-in-1 full-size multi-tool — the one most people think of when they picture a Leatherman. It packs needle-nose pliers, wire cutters, a straight blade, a serrated blade, saw, spring-action scissors, wood/metal file, large and small screwdrivers, Phillips driver, can opener, bottle opener, wire stripper, ruler, and 1/4-inch bit drivers into a single 8.5-ounce frame.
This is the tool that lives in a glove box, tool belt, or hip holster and pulls double duty across DIY, gardening, camping, and real job sites. The outside-accessible blades and saw open one-handed, so the tool gets to work before you’ve finished unfolding it. Replaceable wire cutters and a satisfying locking mechanism keep it useful across years of daily use.
Leatherman has been designing and manufacturing multi-tools in Portland, Oregon since 1983 — Tim Leatherman’s original “why isn’t there a better tool for this?” question turned into an American-made product line backed by a 25-year warranty.
