Wave vs. Supertool
I started out using the Leatherman Supertool about 5 years ago. It worked very well for most of my little jobs aboard and at home as well. I've found it useful and close at hand several times/day ever since. A couple of years ago I saw the Wave at a local store and bought it. It has a better locking system, as well as easier access to the blades, saw and files. The other tools don't lock so you can pinch yourself with the other impliments and screwdrivers if you push too hard. I still prefer the Wave. I don't think that anyone has mentioned the fact that Leatherman replaces blades and tools at no charge if you send the whole unit in to them. They have replaced mine on three separate occasions. About the only other knock that I have on either one of 'em is that they don't float...........don't ask me how I know this! Get one now, you won't regret it! Ron S/V "Best Revenge" H 40.5
