I had a very good experience with my original Leatherman Wave pocketknife. I carried it every day and it seemed like at least once a week I used it for something or other -- opening a package, tightening a screw, trimming my fingernails, or whatever. The selection of tools seemed pretty ideal somehow, it was possible to apply quite a lot of force with the pliers, and it was extremely durable. I even used the saw a couple of times, though I can't remember for what purpose!
I still have a smaller Leatherman tool on my keyring and use it not infrequently, but it seems a lot less awesome somehow.

I feel the same way about my Leatherman Charge, the toolset is great, it's solid and it does many jobs well. I don't think I ever used the saw but I believe I've used every other tool on it, even the ruler graduations.
