Goodevening dougwalkabout,

Thanks for the input on my Leatherman tool selection.

I have an original Wave but it does not have the option of interchangeable bits therefore no Robertson screwdriver. Robertson screws are very popular in Canada (with good reason) and it would be terrific to have that driver on my EDC multitool. My straight edged Wave blade has always seemed a little loose/flexible to me but I think it was beefed-up in the Wave II.

All of the Leatherman tools I have now are basic stainless steel blades (420 I think), they are not the best to sharpen and dull quickly, so I tend to be a little rough on them. I also carry a folder or 2 for detailed cutting tasks on the job, but when not at work I often just carry an original Leatherman PST, it is light/handy but I miss the functions of a larger tool.

MEC is a good outdoor equipment supplier and I shop there often, but today I found the TTI online at Deakin Equipment for $129.00 plus you get a $15.00 rebate with your first online order.

I doubt I would use the pocket clip much as I always wear a belt and therefore will use the cordura pouch. Often when I clip a folder to my pants pocket I forget to remove it and it goes through the wash. One day I had forgot to remove my Kershaw Leek folder (with SpeedSafe opening), it opened in the dryer and poked holes through a load of clothes, DW was very not impressed!


I appreciate your help.

Mike
