Tool Tales

January 2008

The Surge from a Wave!

About 3-4 years ago I was given a Wave multi-tool for X-mas! It was the coolest thing I ever got. It did not take more than five minutes before it was at my side and an irreplaceable appendage to my being. I have used this tool for everything from "carving a feast" to "holding a piece of steel while welding".

It has always been there for me until recently... I was in the middle of a de-construction job and was cutting through some tie wraps and I snapped the serrated blade, and then broke the knife blade lock. I was VERY sad! Many times I reached at my side and realized my favorite tool was missing. Life seemed to become a little more difficult. Knowing and feeling my loss, my brother (also a proud Wave owner) purchased me a "Surge" for X-mas this year. My eyes widened and before I could say thank you, it was already at my hip. That night I spent a couple of hours looking/playing with it and imagining the things I will be able to accomplish with it. This is a cool tool!

Thank you to all the staff at Leatherman for providing a quality/functional tool. P.S. I just found out that I may be able to have my Wave repaired on warranty? That would be incredible!

Tell Us Your Tale

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.
