I have both the swiss tool x and the leatherman wave. They both are great tools but I perfer my wave for some simple reasons.
1.) SIZE: the wave is considerably smaller than the swiss tool in every dimension and since I carry mine on my belt at all times size is a factor. The wave seems to be lighter too but I don't know by how much.
2.) LINEAR LOCK BLADES: I don't like the locking mechanism on the swiss tool, it seems like it will give out one day. The linear locks on the wave are rock solid.
3.) GREAT KNIVES: I perfer the knives on the wave to the swiss tool. I use the knives more than any other part of the tool and being able to open them one-handed is a must for me. The knives on the wave seem stronger than the swiss tool as well and are thicker.
4.) DESIGN: It isn't a big factor but the truth is that the wave looks so much better than the clunky swiss tool (especially the 20th anniversary, which I own.) It is more comfortable to hold due to the smooth contour.

Like I said before the swiss tool is a great tool as well and I use mine all the time, but for a tool to keep on my belt at all times I go with the wave.

If your wondering which brand to buy between Leatherman And SwissTool etc. well can I just suggest you watch any programs on Discovery Channel about explorers or adventure sports participants and see which one they chose. I have only seen leatherman.

I personally have owned the PST for about 4years and only recently had the misfortune of chipping the head on one of the screwdrivers from well a little misuse (opening a screw that was to big for the head) I sent it back to leatherman and they not only fixed the driver but sent me a whole new tool in replacement which means all the wear and tear such as a slightly blunt blade are now all gone.

I like the new 20th aniv. Wave so I just bought it along with the P4 which is a cool little keying, lets just hope they serve me as well as the PST has and will continue to do.

The Super Tool is a very useful product. However, it has flaws.
The handles are uncomfortable. One has to navigate the knives to get to the screwdrivers. The Wave corrects these problems.
It feels better in the hand. The nylon case is an improvement over the stiff leather one.
