Description

The Leatherman Wave from around 2012 was likely the second-generation Wave, a highly popular multitool known for its one-hand-opening blades and interchangeable bit driver system, featuring robust pliers, scissors, saw, files, can/bottle opener, and various screwdrivers, serving as a versatile EDC (Everyday Carry) tool before the Wave+ upgrade. Key features included external access to blades, a locking mechanism, and the modular bit driver, making it a dependable workhorse for DIY and general tasks, distinguished from later models by specific tool details like the Phillips head and overall design, notes this YouTube video and this article.

Key Characteristics of the 2012 Wave (Likely Gen 2/3):

Blades: Features both a straight and serrated blade, accessible from the outside for one-handed opening.

Tools: Includes pliers, wire cutters, saw, scissors, can/bottle opener, ruler, awl, and various screwdrivers (Phillips, flathead).

Bit Driver: Utilized a modular system for interchangeable bits, a significant upgrade for versatility.

Locking Mechanism: Strong, positive locking for the main tools, a feature users appreciated.

Design: A compact, pocket-friendly design, often preferred over larger tools like the Surge for everyday carry.

Evolution:

The original Wave came out in the late 90s.

Updates in 2004 and 2018 led to the current Wave+.

The 2012 model falls within the era of the very popular second or early third generation, offering great functionality before the minor updates of the Wave+ (like replaceable wire cutters and a pocket clip) became standard, notes
