What owners say
No point about the Leatherman Wave Alpha was made by more than one reviewer, so there is nothing here that counts as agreement. What individual reviewers said is listed below.
Read from 10 independent reviews (10 reddit). A point becomes a pro or a con only when two or more reviewers made it.
Vertical blade play on tools Defects persisted across multiple units Manufacturer failed to fix the issue Condition worsened after service Audible clicking sounds from tools Customer support ignored cancellation requests
- Anyone else have lock rock (vertical blade play) on most of the tools in their Wave Alpha? Is Leatherman over?
- My thoughts on the new Leatherman Wave Alpha
- Leatherman Wave Alpha - Calling Out One Of The Positives
- The new Leatherman Wave Alpha
- Two newest additions just so happen to match
- Wave Alpha was it worth it?
- Is anyone else’s Wave Alpha loose like this when it’s closed? It opens up a bit when moving around in a bag or pocket. My original Wave is solid when closed. Just makes the Alpha feel a little cheap. Is mine defective or is this a feature?
- Stolen blade from “new” Wave Alpha purchase via Amazon
- Updated Leatherman Wave Alpha (mod made by Jovtok)
- Wave Alpha Failure
