blades, which can irritate you quite well. The spring makes working much easier and improves the comfort, but I saw one tool where a badly fitted spring jumped sideways and locked the scissors when the lever was pressed. The tool was sent for exchange, it came back, and everything is OK now. Watchmaker screwdriver – saved me and my friends a few times from having glasses fall apart completely. It's great, but you have to remember that it can only be used as a screwdriver. Attempting to use it to lever something ends in breaking it, and a colleague of mine did it already to my tool. Luckily, the screwdriver costs a penny, so I have a new one and I remember it's ONLY a screwdriver. Flat screwdriver – well, it is a piece of solid sheet metal. It is there, it works, nothing more to write about it. I usually carry a Charge+ TTi with me in my pocket clipped to its edge. The clip itself does the job, but if you pull it harder, you can bend it back. Fortunately, it can be tightened up again with pliers and restored to normal operation. It does not interfere with the use of tools, as is the case with the eyelet that is fixed in the same place. However, I do not use the latter at all, because it is too big and un- comfortable. I prefer the hidden tool, which is built into the arm of the tool. The clip itself sits in the seat so firmly that even when the lock is pressed down, there is no tendency for it to fall out, and to remove it, you need to put some force into it. To sum up: Charge+ TTi is Leatherman's top-of-the-range tool – only MUT and Tread are more expensive (excluding "special" models). It works like the Wave or the Charge, but differs from them in terms of the featured materials and accessories. A piece of good tool, but for people with a rather fat wallet. Those less in the money can go for a Wave+ or a Charge+. Waving Lotus I had a thing to do some time ago, there was something to cut, bend, then catch, tap, and tighten. And you know what? I didn't want to look for a saw, a hammer, a screwdriver, and a pair of pliers... so I didn't do that at all. Now I am holding in my hand a piece of metal. Angular, oxidized, which appears quite elegant to me. The most important thing is that thanks this piece of metal, it I don't have any dilemmas anymore when I need to do something at home and rummage in the garage in search of tools. Wave is not a novelty, but it is my first, private Leatherman (because my father's Leatherman was the first one of all – unfortunately, dad wasn't willing to give it to his sonny). I won't reinvent the wheel if I write that "damn, it is so great to have such a multitool in my pocket, I can do anything", but that's what it's all EQUIPMENT
