Leatherman has been making multitools since 1983, and over the decades they’ve introduced some serious innovations. Undoubtedly, one of their greatest releases was the Leatherman Wave. When it launched in 1998, it changed the game with outside-opening tools and one-hand opening blades, quickly becoming a fan favorite. In 2004, the design was completely overhauled with easier access tools, a bit driver, and the option for clip carry - upgrades that pushed it to legendary status. Then in 2018, removable wire cutters were added, giving us the Wave+.

Pry bars are a hot topic in the EDC community. You’re either a believer in their utility or part of the crowd that sees them as a fleeting trend, arguing that a screwdriver or similar tool can handle the same tasks. The skepticism makes sense—we went decades without carrying pry bars and managed just fine. But times change, and so do needs. One of the main drivers behind their popularity is the tendency for people to misuse knives for tasks like prying, often snapping the blade. Enter the pry bar: a "blade saver" that’s become a staple, appreciated for its versatility. From opening boxes and cans of paint to popping out window screens, a simple flat piece of steel or alloy has transformed into an indispensable tool.
