Wave Plus/New Wave Sheath Compatible with leatherman - DESIGNED BY RAE GEAR (1.5" BELT CLIP WITH BIT KIT POCKET)

As many of us would agree, I would be ok without most of the things I leave home with each morning but I will not leave my Leatherman Wave! As my most treasured tool, being an electrician/mechanic/scientist/outdoorsman, I will not take chances with my most treasured tool. The REA Gear Sheath is the answer to my prayers. Now, it easily and securely resides on my side. Much quicker to grab and store than ever before. I quickly purchased two more. One for my Leatherman Crunch and another for the Leatherman tool kit. Brilliant idea! Absolutely would buy again!

I’ve had this product for about a year now and use it daily at work! Love the holder! Belt clips recently broke and I messaged about getting a new clip the response time was so quick and took care of me with absolutely no hassle or hesitation! This is a company I’d highly recommend and has great products

I've had this for some months and wear it every day. I really like the layout and it's a great product. My only concern is that the clip has become loose and sometimes when undoing my belt to go to the bathroom the sheath will fall off. As long as the belt is clipped it holds fast though.

It looks bulky and pointy in pictures. I had my doubts that it would be comfortable and work well, but my leatherman leather sheath with the elastic panels was getting really beat up and the revised version of it looked even worse than the one I had. Well I don't have a lot of miles on it, but my initial impression is very positive. It's less bulky (by a little bit) than the leather pouch, but at least with a reinforced 1.5" nylon belt, it rides at jsut the right height and tucks in tight to the body without the slop the leather holster had . Due to this nice tucked into the body fit, although it has some corners that could be unpleasant if crammed into your body while sitting, it doesn't do so. I have the tension version with bit storage rather than the magnetic version, and while the pictures make it obvious that the metal tabs retain the tool, they don't retain the bits. Those operate on a friction fit and I don't see them slipping out easily. But they are way more accessible than with the leatherman sheath. I wont miss threading my sheath onto my belt. I suspect the experience would be less positive with a floppy 1.25" belt.

The carrier is supposed to keep the multitool in with spring tension However, it doesn't. The pieces that supply tension are not heat treated and can be bent in or out by finger pressure. I have reached out to their customer service and heard nothing. I will not purchase anything else from RAE.

First off the edge of the holster would consistently get stuck in the gap between the frame and the knife blade, this would make removing the leatherman difficult at times and I would frequently pull the holster off when trying to grab the tool. I was able to remedy this issue by installing a pocket clip on the wave+ to help guide it in place but this made the whole holster seem pointless when I already had a pocket clip Second the belt clip wore out pretty quickly and would frequently pop open allowing the holster and tool to work it's way out and I would often find it laying on the ground. The belt clip is how my holster met it's demise because I went to sit on my lawn mower and the clip failed hold it self in place and it ended up snapping off rendering the holster useless Third I found the wrench cut outs on the side pointless and gimmicky. I was unable find a use for them And the last issue is it would have been nice to have 2 bit slots incorporated into the holster as I like having one for standard and more specialized bits In total the holster lasted me about 3 months which is pretty poor considering I've had holsters in the past I paid less than 10$ for last me for years.

Ok bout time for a review Had it for about 3 years, for me it’s been through light use, use it a couple times a week. I mainly got this so that I could remove the wave with one finger, and it has been OUTSTANDING for that purpose. Still holds the wave pretty well anger 3 years. I have to bend the top clips occasionally to keep it in tight. Kinda wish it wasn’t as soft a metal, or that that part was a bit stronger and springier but not a deal breaker. That said, the clip for your belt is just that, strong and springy; so the awesome. Holds the bit kit really well. The socket holes in the side have saved me a few times on some projects also(but it won’t fit in tight spaces for that). Paints wearing through exactly where and how you’d expect, not great, and not bad. Occasionally gets caught when trying to put the wave in, but that’s not the holsters fault mostly me in a hurry. You do have to get used to something metal being on your hip, instead of the nylon or leather pouches, but all the weight is in the leatherman, not the case. All in all, if you like your wave, and you need a case, it’s well worth it for the utility. My compliments to the designer.

Securely holds Leatherman in place. Easy to take the Leatherman out but not easy for the Leatherman to slip out. Enough room to hold one bits holder. Well made.
