Father’s Day will be here on June 21st and for those of you looking for a great gift for dear old dad. A Leatherman multipurpose tool would be a great choice and a much used and appreciated piece of equipment.

The “Wave” is a personal favorite that was redesigned in 2004 and has been named by Field and Stream as one of the top twenty best knives ever made. The body folds down to 4″ and has stainless steel blades and tools. The Wave has 17 tools in all, including knives, a saw, file, can/bottle opener and a bit driver so you can switch out screwdriver tips to customize for any job. The knife blades are all on the outside of the frame, which allow for single-handed opening without unfolding the handles. All tools have a locking mechanism, which will ensure that you don’t have any pinched fingers. The ability to use the optional driver bits makes this tool even more versatile than ever. The manufacturer’s 25 year warranty makes it worth every penny and after all isn’t dad worth it.

The Wave is available in either a stainless steel or black oxide finish. www.leatherman.com
