 Great deal April 13, 2010

I purchased the Wave by itself some months ago. This combo is just a dollar more and that's enough to give it five stars versus the four I gave the solo Wave. Definitely if you're looking at the Wave, get this combo instead.
As to the review, not much I can add that hasn't been said before. This is my *third* Wave multi-tool. It's a handy size for carrying in my backpack with the rest of my tools, though actually I don't often carry it on my belt except when I'm working on the house or in the garage (I'm now inseparable from the Juice S2 which I use on an almost daily basis).
Because I'm a dork about these things, I've been trying out different multi-tools to make popcan stoves and similar things. Search online for "aluminum soda can stove" for instructions if you're interested. In short, the tool needs to be able to cut off the bottom 1" or so of an aluminum can, punch a few holes, and bend some bits of metal. The Wave works pretty admirably for this job. The metal saw cuts right through cans (as does the scissors, oddly enough). The can opener can pierce the cans to make the jet holes, but you need to be very careful so that the bottom of the can isn't pierced.
I also made a fishing lure and hook using an aluminum can. The file was useful to sharpen the hook. I don't expect to actually use them, but it was a fun experiment.
As for the flashlight, it's a great "free" gift. It does not fit easily in the sheath for the Wave so I have been carrying it clipped to my pocket. It's bright, well constructed, and is a convenient size.
Leatherman Wave & Monarch 300 Combo ROCKS! May 10, 2010

The Leatherman Wave is a high quality multi-tool, with a very well engineered design. The quickly accessible blades are sharp and lock in place securely. Each tool functions as it should. Fit/finish/quality are excellent. The belt sheath is also well made. The sheath is cleverly designed to contain the multi-tool in either the folded configuration, or with the pliers exposed. The Monarch 300 flashlight that came in the combo operates on one AA battery, and is surprisingly bright for such a compact flashlight. The size of the Wave is ideal for my needs. It is large enough to provide excellent capability and functionality, and small enough for every day carry, without being too heavy or bulky. The same can be said for the size and cabability of the Monarch 300 flashlight. I have another smallish flashlight that uses three AAA batteries, but I find it a little too bulky for everyday carry, so it stays at home most of the time. The Monarch 300 will slip into my pocket, and I forget it is even there, so I actually do carry it with me everyday.
I found the multi-tool/sheath/flashlight combo to be an exceptional value. Overall, I am very pleased with this purchase and would highly recommend it!

The Leatherman all-in-one tool is something anyone would like to own. I keep mine in my car, and you never know when it will come in handy for something. Men and women would both enjoy this. There is a tool in this small unit for everything. It is smaller than other similar products, and very high quality.

I purchased this for camping and survival gear use, though have found myself using it for a variety of tasks around the home when I don't feel like getting out my tool box.
The design is very intuitive, and all of the tools function very well.
I was most impressed by the knife, which slices effortlessly through plastic packaging that is so ubiquitous these days.
The bit driver fits comfortably in the hand, as do the other tools when extended.
Definitely a great tool for having most things covered and being portable and lightweight.

The main reasons I selected the Leatherman Wave:
- I wanted a tool where I could open (and preferably close) at least the main blade with one hand. Consequently related to this point, I wanted the cutting side of the blade to be even with the bottom of the tool when it was open so that I wouldn't have to deal with that gap if I were cutting something on a surface. This eliminated the Blast/Fuse/Kick from my selection.
- I wanted a blade that was at least 2.5" long. This eliminated more choices than you would think.
- I wanted a can opener. It might not be a deal breaker for you, but this eliminated the Skeletools for me.
After my research, I decided that the Wave had the best balance of size, features, and value for me. It is on the expensive side compared to some competitors, but sometimes a particular brand commands a premium that is worth the cost and I think that is the case with the Wave. It is very solid, has a long blade, strong pliers, and is very easy to use. One-handed opening of the main plain-edge and serrated blades is very quick and easy (and so is one-handed unlocking/closing of the outside blades). I have yet to pinch my hand when using the pliers (though I see how it could happen). The 25 year warranty is also quite impressive.
My only complaints so far are that I wish the blade was made with an even higher quality steel, the Phillips bit is kind of "flat" (though that seems to be common on a lot of multi-tools), and spring-loaded pliers might be nice. But these are relatively small quibbles on a good multi-tool.
A friend let me borrow his Gerber Suspension for a little while before I settled on the Wave. While the Gerber Suspension is a good tool (especially considering that it is half the price), my experience confirmed that it wasn't the right tool for me. The blade was one the small side and I found the one-handed open difficult and the "slider" method to unlock the blades wasn't particularly easy. I also didn't see a simple way that you could open AND close the blade with one hand (which is done pretty easily on the Wave). My friend also said that the unlocking mechanism had a tendency to gum up and that the way the edges are kind of curved made it somewhat awkward to hold and cut when using the knife.
I bought this Wave/flashlight combo because it was about the same price as the tool by itself. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the small flashlight. It is quite small and quite bright. It just takes a single AAA battery, but it doesn't last too long. The button on the back to turn the flashlight on/off is a little difficult to push for my 3-year old, but that's not necessarily a bad thing ;)
