For pocket size, you can easily find it at a cheaper price around $30 – $40 per item.
Multi Tools from Leatherman Wave
Another famous tools brand coming from the same area, Oregon USA, is Leatherman Wave. Although they’re typically using pretty similar things, If we look at more into it, their target or focus is different. Their focus is for builders, workers, problem solvers, pioneers, and adventurers. We can consider DIY will be in the problem solvers category. That’s why they’re not really into that hard product like Gerber but focusing only for the minor user. Aside from Multi Tools products, they offer wearables which consist of all wearables like tread, link, and tread for watch, knives consists of combo and straight blade, pocket tools consists of skate, hunt and shoot, snow, and surf. They also provide accessories which we can mix and match with the tools we have. They provide leather, molle, camo, and various types of sheath.
For Multi Tools itself, they have various types such as heavy duty, full size, pocket size, and keychain. From here we can see that multi tools from Wave are mostly focusing on the size of the tools, while the multi tools from gerber are focusing on categorizing the types by opening method. One interesting point is we can’t see keychain mode in Gerber while we see that Wave provides it. It again proves that wave gerber are looking for more expert users while wave are focusing more on minor users like us for our DIY or spare tools in urgents time.
