It's basically somewhat of a clone since the patents have expired for the wave several companies have made a version of the wave like the ozark trail multiforce also is very similar too the wave.
I'm sure you could open it with the can opener. The bigger concern is why one wouldn't know how to open a bottle without a bottle opener in the first place? :)
The can opener is 3 tools in 2 that one part you weren't sure of is a wire stripper plus the can opener and also a bottle opener. I love my bibury it's cheap but well built and I don't have to worry about breaking or losing it cause unlike a Leatherman it's not $100 plus.
Thank for the info! I took back the Multiforce I purchased at Walmart(defective). I was unable to close the tool. I will be ordering this Bibury 19 in 1 as an alternative to the Wave +.
I have a Leatherman Wave and 2 Leatherman Rebars. I am VERY picky about the Phillips head. I have used multitools for years working on servers and some of the more modern tools really cheap out the Philips. That one is done right. I might pick one up to have in my go bag. The Leatherman's were so much more expensive and the new waves have the horrible Philips. Damn it. They have a 10% off instant coupon on this thing and I just got it for $38. Wow. Thanks Mike
I don't know what kind of math that is but if you got that for $38 thats way more than 10% off. This thing is no joke. I've been taking it with me when I go out and has already proven handy.
Wow that is just about an exact leatherman (wave?) copy. I have a charge tti that has been in my pocket for like 20 years. Everyone should have a multi tool on them!
Whats your point?Chinese manufacturing is catching up rapidly and this is a good example.Perhaps it will make leatherman,sog and gerber reacess their pricing instead of getting customers to pay for their reputations.The wave is twice the price of the Bibury....is it twice the quality......no it isnt.
I have it. Not as good as Wave of course but it will do for now. Until i can afford a Leatherman. My heart still go to Leatherman. But i do like the standard exchangable bit
Nice review Mike, I really enjoyed you demonstrating the various tools but would have liked to see the screwdriver bits used under some torque. It has been my resonal experience that they are a point of failure in a multi-tool. That said, it does look promising. 🤘😎👍
The saw works really well if you secure the work piece properly. The tool at 11.30 on the can opener is a wire stripper, roll the wire to complete a round slit in the insulation, then flick the insulation off.
The lock open release looks good. If you open all the tools in the handle on a standard Leatherman you better have a separate screwdriver handy to release the locking clip.
Nice multitool. Is the ruler painted or permanently engraved in the metal? I returned my ozark trail multiforce because the ruler was painted and it could get damage if that area gets scratched
Use scissors for... (PAINNN) ...and making snowflakes. C-cant...that was prolly the only safe use, but using that as a tool to perfectly slice the top pinchfold of a soup can, would be attempted until damage sustained. That whole thing opened up could tune up on 6 meters.
@@hamradiotube Lol...you mean 5105...no 6 meter in the G90. I wish they made a 49.860 mhz and up model, vhf to gigs all model, ditch the tuner for built in data stuff and pl tone board and offset vfo circuits.
Great Vid..at Last Someone Showing how the Bits Work , not just Showing to the Cam That Blade with it being Locking though is Illegal in the UK😔 Best Multi Tool i Seen Yet 👍
Thank you. Not much point showing stuff unless you show if they actually work in my opinion. It's illegal to have a blade lock so it doesn't come back and cut off your finger in the UK? That's weird.
@@hamradiotube No not for Injuring your self ..Some Balm Pot if its a foldable wont inflict much injury as used as a weapon🙄 And ANY blade over 3 Inches illegal unless its for a Trade . Chef Etc Caught carrying one with out a damm good excuse Which if have a Excuse the knife or Knives should be well packed away The Bush Craft Guys always keep buried at the bottom of there back pack untill they get to where they are camping
A friend gave me a leatherman wave as a gift it was used since that day about 5 years ago I don't go anywhere without it. I use it everyday at work for a number of different things Iam a truck driver and is been a lifesaver. I will check your review later ..
@@hamradiotube happy late Thanksgiving Mike , it's going to be your EDC for sure setting up antennas out on the field and everyday little things that pop up and boom solution right there without thinking lol. Enjoy your videos happy holidays coming up....
First thank you for the review! Keep up the great work! Like a number of your followers are saying, looks like a Leatherman Wave knock off. Competition is a good thing, however Leatherman has a 25 year warranty, that other one is very vague as to warranty. I think Leatherman is a USA made product and with their warranty...sorry rather buy from Leatherman company.
LOL!! I was cringing when I was editing that part of the video. Sometimes I do de-thaw food too. Especially ice cream! Good catch. I was hoping no one would notice.
I carried a similar Leatherman all through my time in the army. I kept one under the seat of my motorcycle for emergency use later in life. I still have one in my "Guitar Box", basically a lunchcan that I keep my string stash in - it's useful for trimming the string ends off the tuners and pulling the pegs on acoustic guitars. I could see the potential in a ham go-box, but I'm not that far along yet. I won't buy Chinese though.
The secant is a thread cutter, they're on sewing machines, used in diving, and are super useful for general trimming because the thread won't just slide out of the curve. Solid review! Gonna add it to my work tools wish list!
Hey Mike great review on the tool I think that would be excellent for POTA because I’m sure every once in a while you need a tool to fix something. Hope you had a great day and happy Thanksgiving to you take care stay safe. WD5ENH Steve
I don't need tools all the time but this sure beats having to go to my trunk to open my tool box that always has the parts falling out. This has already proven to be helpful to me and I've only had it about 2 weeks.
Looks exactly like a Leatherman Wave, except for the inside tools (there's some difference). I love my Leatherman.
It's basically somewhat of a clone since the patents have expired for the wave several companies have made a version of the wave like the ozark trail multiforce also is very similar too the wave.
Can it hold a 1/4 hex shaft?
Ya...But can you hook it up to a Xiegu G90 and work DX? just asking...for a friend! LOL
The G90 prob would tune it up.
Does it have a bottle opener? How are you going to enjoy a cold 807 if it doesn't have a twist off top?
I'm sure you could open it with the can opener. The bigger concern is why one wouldn't know how to open a bottle without a bottle opener in the first place? :)

Buy a Leatherman! It won’t get stuck in a shipping container and it has a 25 year no BS replacement warranty!
Thats a good warranty.
hey man its time for the new bibury 22in1 review come on everyones waiting

Why don’t they just call it Weatherman Lave?
I don't know. I'm not too well versed in all things multitool.
Just got this on Amazon for $25 !
Wow that is just about an exact leatherman (wave?) copy. I have a charge tti that has been in my pocket for like 20 years. Everyone should have a multi tool on them!
I've never had a multi tool until this one. I see why they are so popular now. They're very useful.
1) Where is it made?
2) Have the Leatherman people heard about this?
1)Like everything else, China
2) No clue.
Copyright on the wave has now expired, hence why they can get away with this.
Great Demo, clear, concise, and compelling!
Total rip off of the Leatherman Wave.
I'm not well versed in multi tools but that doesn't surprise me.

Nice review Mike,

Hmm, good to know. This is my first multitool so I'll keep an eye out for that.
The saw works really well if you secure the work piece properly. The tool at 11.30 on the can opener is a wire stripper, roll the wire to complete a round slit in the insulation, then flick the insulation off.
I’m impressed by the “lock open” on the flip out tools! Thanks Mike for reviving, looks like a good one.
Review maybe…. Lol
The lock open release looks good. If you open all the tools in the handle on a standard Leatherman you better have a separate screwdriver handy to release the locking clip.
You bet
Purchased one of the multi tools! Thanks I didn’t know about this brand.
The head seems identical to my Leatherman ST200.
I'm sure they prob took "inspiration" from Leatherman.
thanks for the info.., God bless you and your family
Excellent clear and professional review!
Leatherman Wave clone :( except for the wire crimper
This guy could do a quality review on anything.
Great video man. thanks.
TeamReplay for the win
lol you're too kind! 73
I have one of those. It’s quality.
Cheers Mike, I have the Wave for many years, this looks like a serious replacement,.. ooops out of stock,.... happy thanksgiving 73
Dang, that went quick. They had a 35% off coupon. That prob had something to do with it.
K8MRD's system of standard measurements... length measured in Baofengs, knife-sharpness measured in arm-hairs removed.
We're very scientific here on K8MRD Radio Stuff.
Team replay for the win happy thanksgiving mike
Happy Thanksgiving to you too.
Nice multitool. Is the ruler painted or permanently engraved in the metal? I returned my ozark trail multiforce because the ruler was painted and it could get damage if that area gets scratched
Thanks for watching. The ruler is engraved into the metal. It’s not going anywhere.
Happy Thanksgiving Mike, thank you for the review. Stay safe!
Thanks Dusty, Happy Thanksgiving to you???lol!

With a G90 I think it could tune 6 no problem.

And it’s 35% off with the coupon right this minute on the Amazon.
Yeah I just say that. Pretty sweet!
Great Vid..at Last Someone Showing how the Bits Work , not just Showing to the Cam
That Blade with it being Locking though is Illegal in the UK😔
Best Multi Tool i Seen Yet 👍

Caught carrying one with out a damm good excuse
Which if have a Excuse the knife or Knives should be well packed away
The Bush Craft Guys always keep buried at the bottom of there back pack untill they get to where they are camping
If you close the can opener onto a wire, it works better as a wire stripper.
Thats legit what its for
Happy Thanksgiving Mike. I've been carrying the Leatherman Wave for 25 plus years. Might have to look at this one.
This is my first multitool so I don't have anything to compare it against, but I'm really pleased with the quality. I've been taking it everywhere.
@@hamradiotube if it has the quality of the Leatherman, you will be lost when you do not have it.
A friend gave me a leatherman wave as a gift it was used since that day about 5 years ago I don't go anywhere without it. I use it everyday at work for a number of different things Iam a truck driver and is been a lifesaver. I will check your review later ..
This is my first multitool but I'm already seeing how useful it is. I pretty much take it with me everywhere now.

Lost my wave. Looks like a nice replacement. Great review!
Its my first and only multitool so I don't have anything to compare it from but I am thoroughly impressed so far.
I have the Dremel version of that tool.
Nice

"Un-loosen" lmao. Do you "de-thaw" food, too? 🤣
LOL!! I was cringing when I was editing that part of the video. Sometimes I do de-thaw food too. Especially ice cream! Good catch. I was hoping no one would notice.
@@hamradiotube a "no one" noticed. Bwahahaha
But will it POTA?
Its a quarter wave on 70cm lol!
Most important question to me, where’s it made?
Much like everything these days, China.
@@hamradiotube gross. I’d buy it but a few less bucks going back to the CCP the better

Man, I need that to... cut up love letters 🤣. Nice tool.
When they gotta go, they gotta go.
