I'm not saying that Wave, Gerber or Swiss Tool should be used as a total substitue for your tool box. Owning Swiss tool and Wave I can see where one will fail vs another and I understand why they fall short. But my point is that more automatic functions you put on the tool more likely it is to fail you.

Example.
Gerber "inveneted" locks on their tools to keep blades/screwdrivers/files in open position so you wont loose your fingers. Now my old man who only uses Gerbers was cursing those locks out for first 3-4 month since they were breaking (problem with the spring). He got the tool replaced over and over again but still it took forever and he knew it's a week point. Gerber finaly realize the problem and altered design a bit making it full proof. I was just affraid that adding an automatic feature to a tool that can take a beating will make it a bit weaker.
