For the last month or so I have been using the WAVE+ Multi-Tool from Leatherman, including during my fortnight long assignment to the Middle East, and not only did it do everything I expected of it but it also performed a totally unexpected task.
I have owned a Leatherman SUPER TOOL for a little over twenty years, writes Bob Morrison, and it is now one of my few cherished possessions, not least because Tim Leatherman himself engraved it with his signature for me on his trip to the UK in 2009. That classic belt tool, which I still carry in its original leather holster, served me well during my tenure as editor of the lately expired COMBAT & SURVIVAL Magazine and has been with me on trips throughout the world from the Arctic wastes of Norway to the South African savannah to the shores of the Gulf of Oman, never letting me down once.

Smaller tools / blades have a sprung rocker lock – optional accessory pocket clip fits in the slot and is held by the same lock [© Bob Morrison]
