The newer Leathermans aren't better, their durability and build quality took a nosedive. If you have an old Wave, that's the best Leatherman you'll ever be able to own.
It’s around 20 years old, if not older. What’s interesting to me is that when I bought it, I hadn’t done any research - I just walked up to the Leatherman display at the store, fiddled with all of them, and the Wave was the one I liked best. Only 15 years later did I find out it’s one of their best selling models.
The only feature from the newer models I wish it had is one handed operation for the pliers where you can just flick it open like a pocket knife.
Ditto. I have a couple I want to get as extravagant extensions to the collection, but very few I can foresee getting rid of. Even the old, heavy, no-name chef's knife I inherited from grandma has a place as an impromptu machete for spaghetti squash.
Again, same.
Hmmm. For me, it's Zojirushi thermoses. We have two that we've had for over a decade each. There's a rubber seal I always worry will wear out some day, but they both still look like new so maybe they'll last forever.
I’ve seen knives break so I don’t imagine they will last the rest of my life but I don’t see any reason to replace them if they are still in good working order or reparable
