Does this fit securely in one of the tubes on the side of the Leatherman wave nylon sheath?

I carry my extension inside the small side pockets that my Leatherman came with. However, it can slide right out of those and as such is very easy to loose. Near the end of the extension you can see three rings cut into the tool. I went to the plumbing section of Home Depot. I bought a pack of rubber washers, #83 O-rings 1/2" outside diameter x 5/16" inside diameter x 3/32" thick. I put 3 of the washers on the tool, one at each ring cut into the tip. This prevents the extension from sliding out of the side pockets of the nylon pouch that came with my Leatherman. The tools that come with a leather pouch may differ.

It fits, but anything but "securely"! The product's photo, as with the extender that I purchased, shows that Leatherman 'forgot' to provide for secure storage; I had to drill my own so that it would store SECURELY on a key-ring. The more extenders that get lost, the more they sell, so it appears that there is a reason for their "forgetfulness". I'm giving it FOUR stars since L'man expects the USER to provide for securing the tool for loss prevention. I'll try to get photos and review posted shortly to show the user-modification that the L'man requires.

No. I had to take some cardboard and electrical tape to mine to make it feel secure enough to carry around. The problem is the open bottoms, a major design flaw of the sheath.

You know what's ALWAYS handy to have? DUCT TAPE! I wrap some Gorilla tape in the middle about 3'+/- that's a decent solution to securing it and if it gets used I just pocket the extension till I get to the roll again and re-wrap. But of course the pen clip idea is a great idea too. The tape also acts as a better grip surface to start a machine screw. I now have the LM Surge, out of 5 good multitools I found a lifetime buddy finally.

No. The "tubes" on the side of my Leatherman Wave nylon sheath are elastic pockets with no bottom. The elastic is not tight around the bit-driver, and it has a small enough diameter to fall through. My solution is to put a pocket clip from an old ink pen onto the bit driver. That eliminates any chance the bit driver can fall through.

Yes. I just tried it. The knife will go into the sheath with the blade facing either direction..

There is a plastic insert inside the nylon. I've never had an issue with my knife being loose or exposed if it is buckled.

The knife absolutely stays in the sheath. I have mine fixed upside down in a bag and it has never fallen out.

Yes it will. I got this sheath for my wingman that I bought at wal mart and it fits perfectly. Very good product

Did when I ordered it. Sheath is nylon with plastic insert and has some pouches and the piggyback. The little piggyback knife wasn't too useful in my experience, but is a nifty idea.

Yes. It is slightly tight, but not overly so. In fact, I keep a regular size band-aid in the pouch along with the knife. I have carried this same knife for many years. I have had numerous pouches. This one is great because it can be clipped on/off a belt without removing the belt yet stays clipped on very securely. This is my "day to day" pouch for this knife.

Theres a little tab in the sheath that applys preasure to the blade however its not enough to hold it when its upside down. A mod is probably your best bet if you want your blade to remain held with out the safety strap. Are you planning to put it on your shoulder?

I have the bigger leather sheath, and, yes. The two bit kits, slide right in near the leatherman and go everywhere I go! Now, I can't say about the extender, as I haven't yet acquired that for myself. Tip: this is the original leather sheath. NOT nylon. When it's new, it doesn't fit the two bit kits. Had to carry one for a few days. It loosened up a bit than I added the other.

It's as secure as any kydex-type sheath. It won't come out from an insignificant force.

Glad you asked this question. I have a newer version of the Wave (about 3 yrs old) and I ordered the exact same sheath for it. Great fit of the tool in the sheath, snug but not too tight. The sheath fits snuggly on my belt and doesn't slide around. The problem is after about 2 months of use the stitching that holds the belt loop onto the back of the sheath started coming apart. If I hadn't noticed it the loop would have come apart and the whole thing would have dropped off my belt.

At least has room for the bits. I found it was kinda large and rigid. I ended up just using my old sheath from previous version wave.

Mine did, but one side has an open gap (it didn't clamp down all the way and can't be screwed shut) to accommodate for the thicker flashlight. It still fIt's tightly and securely, though.

I was able to get both bit sets into the sheath by facing both bit sets towards each other leaving the smooth sides out...it will then slide right in.

I fit one in but it was overly tight and made that part of the strap too straight and bulgy to be comfortable, so I only keep SD cards in the pocket. I had a cheap little leatherman type tool that had a belt holster I never used, so I attached that holster to the strap and it holds my spare battery perfectly.

Mine is the same way. The knife sort of snaps into the sheath - I guess for safety reasons - but it's a cheaply made piece of plastic junk. Try not holding the sheath on the sides, but on the edges, then pull the knife straight out. Watch your fingers. I'm probably going to make a leather sheath for mine. Anyway, snap the knife in and out of the sheath several times and it will loosen up a bit. Hope this helps.

I have an old school Gerber BMF (non-serrated) and it fits fine. I don't think you will have a problem. As for being fitted or molded this sheath is on size fits some. Thickness should not be a problem.
