who's got a leatherman?

[pow3rslave]

I had a leatherman wave but i lost it and now i want get a new one.
The model i had was this one Leatherman Fuse. It never let me down but it always seemed a bit pov/entry level.

Was just wondering if anyone had another leatherman model they've had and would recommend.
i basically want it for a bit of fishing (dehooking but probably not not gutting/cleaning), a bit of computer/electronics, and something that could come in handy in the glovebox.

was looking at this one
Leatherman Wave
but someone told me that leathermans in general are prone to rust

I've got the surge. awesome little tool. Had it for years. No signs of rust anywhere on it/

Mate I can get you a catalogue and sort one out for well under retail for you, we stock a lot of leatherman models at my work. PM if keen.

Personally I would get a gerber. Very easy and quick to open one handed.

One like this: Gerber - Diesel Multi-tool Multitool - eBay Multi-Tools, Tools, Camping, Hiking, Sport. (end time 13-May-10 21:14:39 AEST)

me and most my mates have either a leatherman or a gerber and they are all prettymuch the same. I have a Wave same with another mate we got them from different shops and the wire cutters on both ours struggle other then that they are a great knife and i have no problems with them. another mate has a kick his only dislike of it is that the blades dont lock out. the charges are really good to use and i havent heard of any problems with them from my mates. they get thrown around a bit and dropped used in the rain ect and never had a problem with rust or anything like that.
