Last week I left my Leatherman Wave at work for the first time in 4 years. I thought to myself on the way home "I could go back and get it, but I'm sure it will be fine for 12 hours".
I arrived the next morning to find that it was indeed gone :grumpy:
After crying myself to sleep, I decided I MUST replace it, but didn't want to spend too much on yet another Multitool!
After looking on eBay, I came across a brand new in pack Gerber Freehand for $29.96 after a 25% off sale! A bargain since the comparable price in the UK is not far off $200! I bought it immediately, and now I'm looking for any info.
From the looks of it, it has several better features than the Wave that it replaces. First is the one hand opening pliers, as it really was a pain trying to open up the Wave with one hand. Apparently these open with only flick of the wrist.
The blades are also thicker, which is definitely no bad thing. The tools look like they can be opened very easily too, but not sure exactly how that works.
When I do get this, it is going straight on my belt and not leaving my person!
So does anyone own one, or know more about how well the pliers and the tools open?
