I have a leatherman wave & use it for everything. The place i work has some corrosive chemicals & the tool gets exposed to them regularly. Hose off with a good industrial "blast" cleaner, & re-oil all the pivots & it's good to go.
I like the way round the handles are set up, and the rounded edges, as several multi-tools will rip into you when applying force and this one doesn't.

I snapped a screwdriver blade (using it as a prybar Duh!) when I sent it to leatherman explaining what had happened & asked for a price to fix the 5 year old tool it was repaired & upgraded for nothing.

Tim Leatherman may be anti-gun, but his product & service are first rate.
