I'm not one of them, but talking about multitools is like talking about cars. Or wives. Someone has thier opinion, and they won't change it without a gun at thier head. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
I like the Leatherman SuperTool, and the classic PST. I carried the later for about 4 years, and the former now for 7 or 8. The SuperTool lives on my belt every day, unless I need to be really spiffy (weddings, but I've had my PST in a few tux jackets and vests over the years), and my one grumble is the hinge of the pliers- it has picked up some play, so it doesn't cut softer wires very well any more, but I also carry a pair of dikes on me or near me, so it doesn't bother me.
The blade doesn't hold an edge as well as I'd like, but I don't really mind that bit. I'm not planning on the blade as anythign but an emergency blade, and I usually have several others at my disposal.
I am a little disappointed in the Squirts, they seem to be very soft in the jaws, but it isn't fair of me to judge them by the standards of a full sized multitool.
The Wave I don't like. Someone has to. I have my concerns about the strength of the hinge pins for the blades, not enough metal and the stresses are asymmetric. It looks to easy to tear off the blades to me.
As for the new ones, I couldn't tell you.
As for those who are wondering why I dislike the others...
The Gerber doesn't feel right in my hands, and I watched a SOG fixed blade break once while it was being used to quarter a bear. Haven't used the Vics, but they are out of my price range.
