Rarrrgh I have old wave with no ruler markings and no bit driver. hulk smashh

Jus got the wave in the post, the corners of the rolled in handles at both pommel ends with the flange extension have tiny .5 to .75mm long cracks. This is as a result of the way in which they are cut from the sheet and then bent at 90 degrees away from the flange during manufacture.Very poor finishing but consistent throughout, all the tools are spot on though. Far away from the finish on a Victorinox which leaves this tool for dead in that department. Hope yours is spot on.

@tessl8d i bought the charge ti. it is exactly the same as the wave but, with titanium handles. i like that it doesn't have the wire crimpers on the pliers. even though the titanium adds 33% more squeezing capability the crimpers weaken the plier tips creating a trade off. i don't care for guthooks because they also weaken the blade as well. i think after all the research i have done that the wave(in current production) is the best. but the ti has titanium handles and smooth opening action.

@prometheus19799791, You bought the TTi right? I think that the standard flathead screwdriver is supposed to double up as a prybar, prob best to get an 'Artifact' for that. But I agree that there should be greater personalisation options. I got enuff dedicated knives and hate using small saws, so I'm going see if I can take them out and put in spacers. Yeah, and I juz bought one of these. The pliers seemed tougher than the CX and 40 bucks cheaper thn TTi

i can't stand that it has a bit driver and a dedicated standard screwdriver. why not put something useful there. if you have a combination bit with philips on one end and standard flathead on the other, why the heck are they wasting space like that. i have been watching these damn reviews for a week looking for a multitool that makes sense and find the same problem with the charge, surge, and the wave. you should be able to pick the tools you need when ordering a multitool, not have redundancy.

Just got mine to replace one I had for years that I lost recently. Those blades on this Wave are sharp man. He did miss out the wire stripper on the bottle opener in this video. They are quite expensive in the UK but they quality build. Most live sound engineers I know have one.

[manhattenhero]

is it advisable to have it in you pocket? I mean because of weight this this thing has.

And also the wave has more sharp edges than they said it would have. So, is it advisable?
