    Comments about Leatherman Charge AL Multi-Tool:

    A beautifully crafted tool with great functionality and durability. However, there were only two issues I wanted to address for potential buyers:

    1. From a functional point of view, the Wave is absolutely comparable (check the Leatherman website where you can do side-by-side comparisons of different tools), and significantly cheaper. You may want to look into this.

    2. Although aesthetically pleasing, the black handles actually feel rough, almost giving the sensation of running your fingernails down a chalkboard. I tried it for a week, hoping that I would get used to it - but I didn't, so I returned it and bought the Wave.

    Personally, I am more comfortable with the usual smooth, metal finish typical of Leatherman tools. I don't think this affects the functionality of the tool in any way, but I was just not pleased with how it felt in the hand.

    Not everyone may feel the same way, so if you are considering this purchase, I would try the aluminum handles yourself in person to see if it is a texture you can tolerate. If not, the Wave may be a better option, especially given the comparable functionality, same exceptional construction expected of a Leatherman tool, and significantly cheaper price.

    Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

      Comments about Leatherman Charge AL Multi-Tool:

      Bought this as my outdoor and off-road emergency tool. The "one-hand" action to open any of four blades is a brilliant idea. I really like it and it's extremely versatile. But, the outer edges of the blades (not the cutting edge) are somewhat sharp too. If you don't hold it the right way, or open it wrong, the outside edge has the ability to cut your fingers when you try to open it.

      It's rugged and works great, just be careful how you handle it.

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
