2nd Gen Leatherman Wave made before 2018
Key features that make it stand out from the competition
Pros:
1) This is a 2nd generation of Wave made before 2018, which features solid non-replaceable pliers. Current Wave+ (made after 2018) presents extremely thin pliers, pron to breaking due to replaceable wire cutting edges. These replaceable parts easily break after several uses and will cost you a lot of money to maintain your Wave in working shape.
2) Black oxidized coating was made more for military troop in order to not reflect the light, but strangely enough, black coating also provides additional protection from rust and the tool ages quite nicely, i.e coating wears out gracefully.
3) Price is right (under 100 bucks)
4) Compatible with a clip, bit extender, 2 kits of different bits all in the same black oxidized color
5) Features black nylon cover by default
Cons:
- none, except the fact that it is hard to find them in "New" condition, search for old "new stock"
