New Wave Multitool 830039 By Leatherman Review:

The customers who reviewed this Leatherman model gave it a rating of 4.5 stars. They found it extremely well-built, and appreciated how it resisted torque or twisting. It was considered not too heavy to carry in one’s pocket, being a nice selection of functional tools. One user noted that it had great tool locking and was easy to release whenever he wanted to. Another user who was used to Leatherman products usually requiring some loosening at first use commented that this one was nice and loose enough, and that it served well for his job as a building’s handyman. Users complimented nearly every tool, from the pliers to the screwdrivers, which had a flat head and Phillips head that they found very useful. The wire cutters also reportedly worked even on old brass wire. The knives also came in very handy, especially since they could be opened with one hand, right-handed. One customer especially liked how every single tool in the set would lock in place and could be unlocked with a thumblatch that was reachable for one-handed use.

Of course, the leather/nylon combination sheath did not get as many compliments. If anything, most of the complaints from the reviewers were about this reportedly cheap addition. Another buyer pointed out that its one-handed opening function was limited to right-handed users and he would prefer it to be ambidextrous. All in all, though, they all highly recommended the multi-tool set for every potential buyer.
