I Love The Pulse! [Posted on 2002-07-09]
I love the Pulse! The best just keep getting better with Pulse. With all locking blades and rounded handles for better comfort. Unlocking the blades is a snap with lock releases on the outside of the handles. Just use your thumb to slide back the lock release. I can't tell you how many times the Pulse has got me out of a jam. I carry it in my purse every where I go, I can't leave home with out it!

A great addition to the stable [Posted on 2002-07-13]
The Pulse is a great tool. It's a little smaller than the Wave, but has more tools than the original model. The locking mechanism is positive and very safe. All the tools work well and the rounded handles make the pliers very comfortable to use. I also found that the tool adaptor I had for my original tool works with the Pulse. If it had a saw, it would be perfect.

Updated PST, great for fisherman. [Posted on 2003-01-03]
This Leatherman tool proves that they listen to their customers. It has all locking blades like the Super tool, the sizzors and diamond file of the PST2. It's no bigger than the original Leatherman. What more could you want?

It's the perfect fisherman's Leatherman. Quick draw pliers, with the rounded edged butterfly handles for releasing hooked fish, a hook sharpening grove in the file, sizzors for trimming excess line. The small screw driver for your reel. An easy thumb control for the locking mechanism. Works with the tool adaptor you already own.

If you were thinking about getting the original Leatherman, or the PST2, or the Side Clip, spend the extra bucks and get this one. You'll be glad you did. If you are considering the larger Super Tool, ask yourself how large a piece of wood can you cut with a 3" blade? Do you really want to clean sawdust out of your Leatherman? vs buying a folding saw. Do you really need a larger set of pliers? If you need one handed blade opening with pliers, then the WAVE is the way to go, otherwise this is the Leatherman of the 2000's.

Pulse vs Wave [Posted on 2003-09-17]
I have both Pulse and Wave. I bought the Wave after Pulse since the Pulse got me in love with Leatherman. In the end, I think the Wave is better by a margin, especially if you use the knives frequently. It is an enjoyment to use either one.

Excellent tool; very handy for a woman! [Posted on 2004-01-16]
The Pulse is an awesome tool, for a man OR for a woman. I use mine almost daily -- whether I need a knife to cut something, or some scissors when I'm away from home, or a screwdriver, it's all right there. I can't speak for the advantages/disadvantages for getting a Pulse vs. another Leatherman product, but I can say that this tool has been incredibly helpful to me, and is easy to use. The only difficult part is that the locking/unlocking mechanism is a little difficult at times, but I'd much prefer that to it not working correctly.

And, uh, watch out -- the knife blade is very sharp!!!
