When I started looking around for a multitool, I obviously took a good look at the new Wave and Charge Ti/XTi.

I felt they were too expensive and beyond what I needed. I ended up getting the Fuse for less than half the price of the new Wave. It's a great tool, has scissors, and pliers, to name a few. I would consider it! It's weird how people never talk about the Leatherman Fuse. It may be a sub-product if you compare it to the Wave or Charge, but it's a great deal for not a lot of dough! <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

The kick/fuse/blast are good tools, but they lack a lot of the features that make the Wave/Charge/Surge tools so great. They are more on par with the swiss tool, which most would consider to be better.
