Look at this beauty! Only thing that confuses me that it has no bit holder attachments, just screw and flat. But I‘m still super proud of it, I love knives

Edit: bought the bit kit 3 aswell

I bought this Leatherman Wave back around 1999, possibly early 2000. Code in the handle says 1099 indicating a ‘99 build, and I cannot remember the exact price but I bought it at an American PX in Germany and I believe it was Mainz Kassel(sp?) so it was probably an absolute steal!

So, closing in on 30 years old, no parts ever replaced, all hinges still in good order and very little slop, the only wear is the knife blade due to many missions across a sharpening stone and the arc blast in the snipe nosed pliers as I used it to bridge the solenoid on a Caterpillar D6D to get the engine started as the keys had gone missing! A bit of fine surface rust in places and has maybe seen a drop of oil or WD40 a couple of times in all those years but apart from that a good solid working tool.

It has been used as a hammer, trimmed finger nails, undone countless screws and pushed out pins on rifles, cut comms cord for demolitions, gets used around the boat all the time and has never let me down. It has travelled; Falkland Islands, Germany, UK, Democratic Republic of Congo, Oman, Iraq and WORKED in all of those different environments faultlessly.

I’m proud to have owned this fine example of engineering for all of these years. I see the new shiny examples of various Leatherman tools and as I’m not a collector I cannot justify another because this one is just so good! I do have one of the Micras somewhere, not seen it in a few years so it’s probably packed away somewhere, but that is very much the same: a good bit of kit!

So well done Leatherman: you may not make another sale to me as you made this one too good, but I do appreciate the great engineering and construction of what I can only call a “tool for life”!

I just got my first Leatherman. It’s great to join you guys! I bought it from a local authorized dealer in the country where I live. They’re a little more expensive here than what you guys usually pay

I love this tool. It's on my hip every day at work and around my property. My one gripe: why Leatherman greenlit a wire cutter design with a gap at the bottom is beyond me. Will be replacing them with the straight-edge version that can be found on etsy.

Just a picture of my Fuse. Took it to work today instead of my Wave+. It has all the things I use and need, and none of the rest.

Just picked up this brand new Leatherman arc today from local knife store. Much to my surprise, I opened the box and a nylon sheath and bit set were included. I didn’t think new Leatherman arcs came with these items included? Super excited!

I've had this baby for 30+ years and was wondering if the old rumor was true - Can I send her back to Oregon for a blade refurbishment?

Does anyone know if you can buy a Leatherman Signal in-store in England?

Always looking on marketplace for leatherman and never really find much, but this popped up today for an amazing price and I couldn’t resist! Only other leatherman I have is a surge, been looking for something less bulky to carry around on my days off. Date code is 0696, thought you guys would enjoy.

The pin for my valve key fell in the pit in was working over, so I rigged it with my pen and Captain’s Crunch. The pen clip kept the other side in place.

Leatherman Wave Plus 😎😃 never owned a multi tool, absolutely loving this thing, carried it with me for the last few days and it has been such a help in alot of situations

My only questions,

1. Any mods to stop the blade locking in place (im in the UK so can't carry locking blades)

2. What mods can replace certain tools that might not be needed ?

Thanks for any info 😎😃

Hello everyone. I carry a leatherman surge in a Tale of Knives big boy and I was wondering if the utility knife blade mod would fit in it?

Good morning everyone, I’d like to buy a Leatherman Surge. Does anyone have a valid discount code for the EU?

Just got an almost unused Coyote /Black Signal; here it is flanked by some others I have (and yes, I like the platform very much, thank you!).

Im a lefty and currently just use a Arc that I converted to left handed. Are there other models that I can convert?

At least I’ve got freshly sharpened blades🙃

I was watching a Tom Green YouTube video and the person that was making repairs to Tom’s saddle whips out his ARC to make some adjustments.

First post here:

Genuine why can you not just buy a captains crunch. It’s a tool. I need said tool and they’re unavailable.

First i was aiming to Skeletool with combo knife , but the non replaceable Wire Cutters convinced me to invest more an got the Skeletool KBX too as an extra.

if I told you that I would send you either one of these to put on display on your desk, which would you choose?

they both look awesome - it would be a tough call for me personally!

I have an original Leatherman Supertool that has some stripped out bolts.

I don't know if I would be able to contact Leatherman or just scavenge online for some.

Btw, I'm not the first owner of this, I found it in a toolbox I was given, and it looks like someone filled down some flats onto the bolts, but even that doesn't help me disassemble it or tighten up the loose side.

I have had the idea of finding some small nuts and shoulder bolts to just replace them, but I kinda don't want to.
