Editorial Review:
The Pulse is the perfect multitool for anyone looking for improvements over the original without some of the expensive excesses of the Wave and Supertool. This model also keeps Leatherman one step ahead of the competition by including a serrated version of the excellent scissors found in its previous models. We especially appreciate the comfortable rounded handles, and we think the sharpening groove in the file is a great idea. This model saves on weight and cost by leaving out the serrated knife, the saw, and the extra flat screwdriver that come with the Wave, but we think Leatherman's made the right choice and kept the essential tools. After all, how many of us really find ourselves suddenly in need of a 3-inch saw? It happens--but probably not often enough to warrant the extra heft in our pockets.
The Pulse keeps Leatherman's excellent pliers and wire cutters, the improved scissors, the diamond-coated file, the sharpening groove, three flat screwdrivers, one Phillips screwdriver, and the can/bottle opener. It is compatible with Leatherman's tool adapter. It has all-locking blades with innovative side latches for easy unlocking. We think it strikes the right balance between low price and high functionality. --Brian Trinen

Excellent tool; very handy for a woman! 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... more info
Pulse vs Wave 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.
Updated PST, great for fisherman. 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.... more info
A great addition to the stable 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.
