Cheap multi-tools are basically foldable paperweights. This one works.
Why Not Just Buy the Cheap One?
No-name multi-tools from Amazon have dull blades that won't cut, pliers that jam, and have no warranty. The Wave+ has replaceable wire cutters, a 25-year warranty, and tools that are actually functional – scissors, saw, file, and bit driver – all locking and accessible without opening the tool.
The Buy-Once Math
A $25 multi-tool will break the first time you try to cut a wire or tighten a screw. You'll buy three or four over a few years before you realize you should have bought the real one. The Wave+ costs $120 but will last two lifetimes and save you the cost of ten dedicated tools.
