- It has a lot of tools compared to it's compact size, and it has room for more like the adapter for the bit tools (accessories available from SOG).
- This stool is made of stainless steel, which is great, and it's got a fine set of tools. It's also lightweight (less than 7 oz.), which is also great.
- I've literally "crused" a couple of multitool handles inward with the traditional folding design.
- Small and compact size not too bulky.
- It's a very reasonable weight, too, not as heavy as some I've had in the past, despite having a great selection of blades.
- Once it arrived, and I could finally call it my own, a weight lifted off of my shoulders.
- Definitely worth the investment over a cheap multi-tool. It is heavy (I am a backpacker) but usually quite worth the extra weight.
- Nice design, nice weight, nice build quality. This model has the tools I would be likely to use if I were in the great outdoors.
- I love the size. It's not too big and not too small.
- I know this MultiTool is old school but it is very unique. It's somewhat fiddly but once you get the hang of it it's pretty quick and easy to access the tools.
- My husband has carried this multitool for 20 years and uses it many times a day! He finally wore out the bolt that held it all together and SOG did not offer a replacement part so I ordered him his new one!
- We all know the Leatherman, but SOG has several features that make it the obscure tool of choice. First, changing out the tools. Can't do it on the leatherman, but on the SOG you can.
- The tools on this are actually useful, and the knife it has keeps a good edge.
- Works great in my EDC bag. The only thing I dont like is the pliers can fold if your not careful when your using it.
- Decided to upgrade and I'm SUPER pleased with the features, weight and it will last me a very long time. I've decided to buy another one to leave in the car.
- The locking blades feature alone is a good reason to get one!
- Best multi-tool I ever bought. It is sturdy, the blades are sharp, and it has useful stuff unlike some of the other tools with features nobody would ever use.
- My husband was impressed with the features and quality of this model.
- The Wave has all the tools I need for around the house and especially for fishing. It is well constructed and the one-handed knife open feature is great.
