My surges sheath was terrible, it fell right off my belt.Lucky I was in a house at the time or id probably be without a multitool. I can relate to that...some people have good luck with them. I'm just too hard on them... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" />and too picky too... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> There's just not many sheaths or pouches out there that I like 100% right out of the box... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

Alright Dan an up is in order.
I was a idiot and NEVER realized I could wear it sideways to keep it from digging into my fleshy love handles.
Problem solved.
I still find that 2 out of three daily user belts I use are too thick for the leatherman to easily fit on. SO I don't wear it 2-3 days a week due to that reason. It is heavy as all get out and I sincerely wish I had researched it a bit more before jumping into the Wave. I think I could have gotten a much smaller unit with a screwdriver extension kit "a must have" and been very happy.
This is a tank of a unit...but the carry leather has very thin openings for your belt and it is heavy as a 9 mm on your belt.
All said and done..for me a smaller unit with a bit extension kit would have been perfect. The Wave is a bit overkill in size and weight for me.And the sheath is no Rainwalker to say the least.
Peace.

Hey Dave, we have the Leatherman Kick and it is way cool, way smaller, light and easy to carry, and you can get an extension kit for it. We got a deal on it for 23 bucks, kept an eye out for it!

Is that a E- Bay buy Dan or did it come from a store?
I am a player for that!

Consider the Leatherman Charge models (TTi, AL, or ALX) and Victorinox Swiss Tool. Two different manufacturing philosophies but great tools in either case.

Welcome to the Yard, gryps. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> The Charge models are great! I love Titanium when It's used right... I've got a Swiss Tool too, great craftsmanship...Smooth action! Victorinox sure knows how to make a tool shine nicely too! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Indeed, Welcome Gryps!
I think a trip to Wally World is in the Friday order of business.
For less than 30 bucks I wont fool with a bargain on E-Bay.
Wal Mart is a 2 mile drive uptown and I'm sure they carry Leatherman products there. Thanks all!!
Peace.
