I found this to be an excellent replacement for the leather sheath that comes with the Wave multitool. The leather sheath is very uncomfortable to wear on my belt but this is great.
My elastic sides had worn out and I tried replacing the original sheath that came with my Leatherman Wave with a generic off the shelf model. Thanks. It FAILED. I use the side pockets to carry my Leatherman flashlight Leatherman 831136 Monarch 300 LED Flashlight, Black and a spare battery, and I use the back inner pocketto carry my bit kitsLeatherman 934870 40 Bit Assortment with Nylon Sheath Only the original would do all this in one compact package and at Amazon's low price - it was a great bargain.
It can handle a belt up to about 1.75" wide. Quality is excellent as usual. barely. Thankfully the velcro is quite strong (and noisy), so the contents seem secure. The yellow brand details are a bit too bright for my taste, so I ended up cutting off one tab and subduing the "Leatherman" graphic with a black permanent marker. Got this sheath as an alternate to the leather case that came with my Wave.
The leather case couldn't handle all my stuff, but this nylon/velcro case does. This case can handle the Wave along with two bit cards, a bit driver extension, and a Maglite Solitaire, with no room to spare. The belt loop size is acceptable to me, but I can see where it would be useful to have it accommodate larger belts. I'd like to see it modified to absolutely prevent anything from sliding out the bottom. My goal was to load up either of the cases with accessories. I wish the designers had allowed for a little more expandability.
This case is easily worth $10 to $15. Also, in both the leather and this nylon case, I worry that the accessories in the side slots could slip out the bottom in the right conditions.
The velcro on the case will probably wear out over time, but they are so cheap it's no big deal. After much research I decided on this case for use with my Leatherman Skeletool. I'm very pleased. I highly recommend this case. It fits the tool perfectly and I use the extra pouches to also store 2 bit clips, an S2 flashlight, and the flashlight lanyard.
I received a Skeletool for Christmas (which is a wonderful tool, by the way) and needed a sheath to store it in - this one is absolutely perfect. Incredibly useful around computers, as the bits aren't magnetic. I ended up ordering the set of extra bits for the Skeletool, and the best part of this sheath is that 1 card of bits, as well as the tool, fit easily inside. I put all my most used bits on 1 card, and now I have a very handy tool - really, it is almost a pocket-sized tool kit.
