Just a "Wave"? Try "Useful Tsunami"!
Over the past 50 or so years I have, alternately, ogled "Multi-tool" knives or 'satisfied' myself with one of those $5.00 K-Mart ‘toys’. I was usually disappointed before too long even though I didn’t, really, have any specific reason to need one at the time.
Well, back in ’97 I came into a bit of money and bought one of your “Super Tools” – again, on a bit of a ‘lark’. Lo and behold, a few years later I got remarried and began rebuilding my father-in-law’s house. There was hardly a day I worked on his house that the Super Tool wasn’t pressed into service – not to mention the frequent use it got elsewhere! Then, a couple of weeks ago, my son’s car broke down some miles from home and in the process of getting it running again I left my ‘tool kit’ … somewhere … under his hood or … [who knows where]! I’m not joking that I felt, almost, ‘naked’ without the Leatherman on my belt!
Finally, a couple of days ago I’d had enough “going around ‘naked” so I bought your “Wave, Multi Tool”. All I can say is that you have flat outdone yourself! In my mind, the safety, utility, ease of use, etc. is almost as far above my first Leatherman as that tool was above the K-Mart variety! I’ve got to wonder what the next generation of Leatherman tools going to do? Fix you breakfast in bed?
All in all, whenever the subject of multi-tools comes up – “Leatherman” is the ONLY brand that I recommend!

OK, you voyeur, you. Enough of reading other people's stories. It's time you told your own tale of gripping heroism or even just neat DIY'ism. We know there's a Shakespeare in you somewhere. Don't make us use the Steens to find it.
