I love this product! It has all the tools that I could ever ask for in a multitool. It is quite durable too. I dropped it off of the side of my truck onto the pavement and it barely scratched. I also like it because it is the perfect size. Not too big to not be able to fit into my pocket, and not too small to be impractical. I highly recommend buying this product if you are in the market for a multitool.

This is the best tool I have ever owned. I worried that it may be too bulky at first for the kind of work I do, but instead I find it invaluable. The steel in the blades hold a razor sharp edge well and it sharpens up like new when needed. I love it and will buy another if I ever loose this one.

I got the new wave for my groomsmen last year and I thought those were great. Though they are similar, this Leatherman is much better! It is so light that you almost forget that you're wearing it. Since it is so light you may also forget that it is a pretty big tool with a lot of functionality. The Tin is the way to go, as you get the clip and lanyard attachments as well as some bits included. Great purchase, especially since it was a SD!

We purchased this for our son for Christmas as he has watched my husband use his for many years. He loves it!

Nice selection of tools, easy to use. A little bulky to be used in the pocket with the pocket clip, but super convenient to not have to wear a belt!

I struggled in my decision making on this product between the Wave and the Charge TTi and in the end believe I settled on the perfect tool for me. This thing is Epic. Highly recommend.

After having used Leatherman products for 15 years in construction, lawn-care, as an undergraduate engineering student, weapons shooter and as a combat engineer, I believe that this is the finest multi-tool I have ever used. I particularly like the ability to carry multiple bits to use for allen wrenches and other unique drivers.

Another key point on this knife is the excellent 154CM steel blade that provides an excellent cutting edge equivalent to the steels used in other high grade knives.

The aluminum handles make this leatherman more lightweight than some of the other knives, and overall, this tool is of the perfect size.

The scissors aren't as tough and durable as contained in other Leatherman Products, such as the Leatherman Surge's, but are adequate for most uses. The excellent diamond coated file, and the wood saw provide great utility for random tasks requiring the use of this tool.

Overall, an excellent product.

I boiled it, oiled it, and STILL it's stiff and impossibly hard to open. I worked it about 30min. STILL really stiff. The same day I bought this I bought a Leatherman Surge and that one opens like a hot knife through butter.

Disappointing.

I bought this Leatherman Charge AL to replace a Leatherman Blast that I lost. I thought I would upgrade to the more than double in price AL. BIG MISTAKE! I dont know if Leatherman dropped the ball in their QC department or if someone returned a used product to Amazon and they tried to pawn it off on me. The rivets holding the name plates on the handles were so loose they were pratically falling off. The main blade was not locking up properly. Fingerprints all over the tools like it had been used. I returned it immediatly. This is the first product from Amazon (and Leathermans) that I had a problem with. Buyer beware! Also the picture shows the premium nylon sheath ... yea... you dont get the sheath shown.

I received this product on 11/30 and inspected it shortly afterward. I'm thinking someone actually bought this, used it and sent it back, and then was given to me. The leatherman looked dirty, there is what appears to be rust on the blade and wear on the file. Leatherman is a top quality product, so I'm disappointed on how this item arrived to me. I would send it back if I didn't need it so badly for some work I'm currently doing. Next time I buy a leatherman, I will not go through amazon.
