I was watching some of your old videos and this one finally inspired me to do a mod I’ve wanted to do for a while. I went and bought a used wave at a pawn shop to make what I call the leatherman “Curve” (still workshopping the name) I took my curl and swapped the awl, flat head, and scissors with the two bit driers from the wave giving me two bit drivers and a micro driver. I also swapped the plain blade on the curl with the wave serrated blade. Now I have a serrated blade, file, two bit holders for the 4 hex bits I use on my bike, a micro driver, and the can opener/wire stripper that I might swap with something later. I also care a T4 to I still have scissors, a plain blade, a Phillips driver, and several flat head drivers + awl. Eventually I will add the plier head with the replaceable cutters but they need a title bit of work. Thanks for the inspiration!
Wow! I absolutely love your Rave! Not only an incredibly useful and well thought tool selection, but an interesting appearance as well. You get outside accesible blade, pocket clip, long and narrow phillips, diamond file, awl/reamer, strong flat driver for prying and more. It rocks!
And come to think of it, the ergonomics must be great as well. I always found out it was more comfortable for me to hold the rebar while using the knife, while wave is far better when using pliers. Now this tool makes it a compromise for both, which I think is a better overall.
I absolutely love my Rebar. I always thought that the Rebar was a pocket clip short of perfection. Also I am not a fan of the can opener. I had a wave and loved the one handed open for for the blade but hated the tool set. You are a mad genius my friend! I own a black oxide Rebar and it looks I will purchasing a black oxide Wave. I am looking forward to an all black Rave with a pocket clip. Might even call it my black raven...The only thing I would change is the inside tools. I will keep the 3d Phillips, awl, scissors, large and small screw drivers. I enjoy the adapter for the 3d phillips. The Klein double ended bits fit like a glove. Thank you for the detailed and informative video!
I’m about to do a rave mod (basically the opposite tools in it to what you have tho). Also carry a crunch and the only other tool I’d want to buy would be the rambler, which is basically identical to the manager I believe. Great minds think alike I guess 👌
I watch Your videos with interest. Making a set of attachments for your own purposes is a very good idea.I use the set : 1. Multitool. 2. Keychain. 3. Wallet. Multitool in a holster on the belt. Keychain on the belt loop of jeans. The wallet contains a Swisscard. Everything takes up significantly less space. С интересом смотрю Ваши видео. Сделать набор вложений для своих целей - очень хорошая идея.Я использую набор : 1. Мультитул. 2. Брелок. 3. Портмоне. Мультитул в кобуре на поясе. Брелок на шлёвке джинс. В портмоне располагается Swisscard. Всё занимает значительно меньше места.

This is awesome 😊🔥I have the Wave Plus, I never knew they can work together so well. Well done sir!
That rave would be the perfect leatherman setup for me as well, good job!

I'm so in love with the Rave mod I'm gathering my tools now so I can start my build 😍😍😍 cant wait! Awesome video and great work

I enjoy hearing you talk about your mods and ideas. Keep up the great videos.
You should work at Leatherman designing team. The RAVE is the best multitool I've seen.
Thanks! But Leatherman is alergic to common sense...I wouldn't last very long lol.
It looks very fresh to the eye 👍👍👍
Seems a great multitool indeed.
Oh and your lighting is the best for shooting such video, thank for sharing.
Great EDC mods! And the glass breaker but is the icing on the cake.
That Rave looks sweet. Good job
Would love to see you touch on the pst Phillips in the wave frame some more. How effective is it with out locking? Could you modify it to lock?
Yes, it cab lock
@@maxlvledc You said in the video it would not lock. Was that an oversight? Or did something change?
Leatherman Drunk™️
How did you undo the nurled fasteners?
File a small sharpening choil into the outside blade.
Nope, special tool made by lokimobile on eBay.
If you want a phillips driver like that and want it to lock try one from SOG. Might work and would lock.
I’m about to do a rave mod (basically the opposite tools in it to what you have tho). Also carry a crunch and the only other tool I’d want to buy would be the rambler, which is basically identical to the manager I believe. Great minds think alike I guess 👌
This is the best! Leatherman Rave!
Glad u like it
Did you get that 154cm blade in the original wave?
Might as well put the can opener / cap lifter / wire stripper implement in the crunch instead of that file
You still don't have a chisel
Thanks for sharing
dang... i love that rave
Rebar is much better than Wave Plus. I have them both, and I hardly ever use the Wave, though I keep the Rebar busy all the time.
Is it possible to make a similar hybrid from Surge and Super tool 300?
yes indead! done it many times, have a few videos on them too.
Love your mods! What is the silverish cylinder attached to your SAK Manager?
Probably a peanut lighter. They are fun and water proof. Or it could be just a container for some pills, but that would be boring.
Happen to know if current clip fits first gen waves?
First gen waves do not have a spot for a pocket clip if I remember correctly

great video!
Do you have an email? I want to pick your brain on a few things and also inquire about an order if you are taking commissions right now.
A rebar upgrade sure. But also wave + downgrade 😅
Rave or wabar😂
Hmm...let's think...🤔🤔
