Title: Not as well-built as the old wave
Product review: Based on my experience, this is a step backwards from the old Wave. My old wave was sturdily built, and I used it for years without problem, until it got confiscated at airport security. Doh! I recently replaced it with the New Wave. I used the small flat screwdriver head right out of the box, and the tip snapped off with only medium torque. Amazon replaced it, but on that one the every time I used the scissors the spring bar kept popping out to the side, making them unusable (I found someone else who had the same problem, and they posted a picture here: [...]. Amazon is replacing again and I hope third time's a charm. It's of course too small a sample size to draw definitive conclusions from, but it seems Leatherman's quality control is going downhill. The other tools seem to be fine. Perhaps the higher end models (Charge), which are made of better material, are sturdier.
