It's shocking how many multitools miss the mark when it comes to useful screwdrivers.
Yeah the eyeglass screwdriver thing is a complete waste for me.
The larger bit drivers has useful sized bits, but it forces me to carry around extra bits to get the same selection of drivers as the Rebar, that weighs 2oz less than a wave before adding any extra bits to my EDC. Plus I'm not going to EDC some screwdriver bits if I'm carrying the Wave clipped as opposed to using a sheath. On top of all that the bit driver bits have weaker steel and less reach than the drivers on my Rebar.
I do really like the clip, one handed blades, diamond coated file, and the way they jimped the spine of the SE blade so you can tell which blade you're opening by feel. But man the selection of interal tools on the Wave is so bad. No Awl, the two big flat heads are way too close in size, and I hate how you have to open the scissors up all the way to close them.
Every multitool ends up being a compromise in some way. Might have to look into modding my Wave down the road. At the very least I plan to grind the precision flat head bit into a needle point to get some awl-like functionality, but I'd like to swap a new tool in its place.
