Comment: I was torn between the skeletool and the new Wave. Leatherman 830040 New Wave Multi-Tool with Nylon Sheath
Here is where they differ where it counts (to me):
1. The new wave is straight; your hand is not; however, the skeletool takes up more room in your pocket because of the shape and bottle opener on the end
2. The new wave has more tools than the skeletool; it has been my experience that the more tools one tries to fit into a multi-tool, the less practical and functional those individual tools are; The ONLY other feature that I wish it has is scissors;
3. The new wave looks like any other leatherman; I have to give the skeletool its due accolades on both cool looks and sleek design;
4. The skeletool does not come with a pouch; Hey if you like features, look at point 3 again.
Now for the bad;
1. It would have been nice for leatherman to include a T-8 to remove the pocket clip; this was annoying;
2. The second bit storage does not hang on to the bit well; the bit fell out a couple of times;
3. The holes and crevices hold dirt and grime.
That is it on pros and cons.
I have kept this tool on me for a month now. I can safely say that I use it several times each day. With multi-tools I have had before, I would get frustrated with the lack of feature or functionality and be reluctant to use it, finally leaving it to collect dust in my catch-all.
I can say without exaggeration that I use it at least 3 times a day and its is extremely useful. I would recommend this tool to anyone.
As a side note, I also purchased the extra bit pack Leatherman's Bit Kit expands your driver's capabilities with 42 Multitool steel Bits.. I do not use them nearly as much as I anticipated.
