Just a heads-up that not only is the LM Pulse for sale ahead of the scheduled September release quoted by the LM site, but its also on sale on Botach until Sept. 1.
 
What are the innovations of the Pulse? To me, the Wave still seems to be the better tool, most notably for the externally opening blades.

I don't really consider the Pulse and Wave direct competitors.

In a comparison of the two, I like the Wave because it has the exterior-opening tools, more comfortable handles for hard-use of the pliers, and a bigger selection of tools. However, as negatives, the Wave is bigger and heavier than I normally like to carry, and worse yet, the screwdrivers don't lock.

The Pulse is based on the PST II, which is the best standard-size tool going, IMO. It's smaller and lighter than the Wave, so I carry the PST II more often. By going to the Pulse, I get locking tools, including locking screwdrivers. So the Pulse's advantages: more carryable, plus all tools lock.

Supposedly, the Pulse has rounded handles that make it more comfortable than the PST. What I want to know is how they compare to the Wave?
