Although Leatherman and Victorinox multitools are available in our (Middle Eastern) market, the whole MT thing is not very popular. Mostly REAL tools are used around from workshops to hobbists (sp?). But MT's can be found in some areas , and in some local on-line camping stores.

The result is illiteracy of which model is which. But thanks to Leathermna for writing/engraving the model names on their tools. So few weeks ago, I was in a store to buy a watch and they had the Rebar, the Surge, and Wave, in addition to some SAKs. It was one of the few stores that carries original multitools.

Generally, other stores carry chinese made MT's and that is why most of my collection is from there. And that is why I do not know any model names. So I will talk about features.

Most MT's I noticed (American or chinese), you cannot access the tools except by opening the pliers. I do prefer the other way round where you can access the tools with pliers closed. It's not because I am lazy LOL , but because using the pliers is more comfortable as your hands squeeze against a flat suface not on those tools.

The wave has flat bit drivers. To begin with I prefer simpler MT's with no bits. And this is why one of my 2 favorite (no-name) MT's came with normal bits but I threw the bits in the tool box. You would suggest that the bit driver, then, will become dead weight. Nope. It is designed cleverly using the philips driver itself. It is made of a SQUARE bar , not the usual round one. So, after removing the bits it is still useful as a philips driver.

Talking of the smaller MT's
I have a few. Off course they are slightly different from Leathermans. Mostly they have flat screwdiver/bottle opener + philips driver + straight blade + serrated blde. On the other side, they have a flashlight. Nice thing about it is you can use the MT itself as a base for this little light while you are doing something. However, because the light is so small on these little MT's I did'nt bother search for batteries when they died. Instead, I scavenged tools from one and added to the other. So , now I have one MT with TWO sets of tools, and other MT has no tools other than pliers , and it sits in my watch/jewelry tool kit.

Sorry Chaos.
I can spend whole day talking about MT's
Have to stop here.
