What is the rust resistance like on the Charge TTi? I previously had a Wave with rust issues.

The tool has been solid this far. I do quote a not fly fishing and have had it submerged multiple times am no issues yet.

Only the scale slabs are ti. The rest is stainless they require a wipe down if they get wet. I have owned a Leatherman all my life and have never had any problems, your milage may very.

In my my experience, my TTi has developed no rust. I have washed it frequently with water and air dried, and have frequently used it in wet weather with no rust developing

It is better than the Wave. I'm very happy with the charge TTi and working with it every day, every time with no issues.

I have the Charge TTi Titanium sides and the Wave with a Stainless Steel wrap; have had no such problems. My advice is that you send the rusty Wave to Leatherman and if they do like they have with me on 3 different occasions; they will repair it or totally replace it at no additional cost. Even the postage back is borne by Leatherman. "Your Leatherman tool is a tool for life."

I have had mine for some time now, and I ride all year long in all kinds of weather. No indications of any rust showing up on it so far.

I ordered it in red. There must be a place with a color choice or perhaps one of the many sellers has that option. I love the red.I see someone mentioned rust being a problem. I haven't seen that.

I have several of these and most of my friends carry them as well, all of them see small amounts of rust from my experience, generally within 6 to 8 months but it's nothing serious. Usually appears first in the laser etched Ti-lite name on the blade and in the low spots of the ribbed cams that assist in opening the blade.

I have used mine about 20 times and already is showing signs of rust on the bottom. It works good but I am disappointed with the rusting.EMC

I'm happy for the owners with no rust but nearly 6-8 pieces that I own have rusting at the top of the design. I took a chance and lost when ordering this set. I feel you're taking a chance as well if you order this set. Good luck!

The surface of the heated plate on our unit appears to have started discoloring. I'm not sure it's rust;could be lime build-up. We've only had the unit about six months, so this is a little unexpected. The unit works great in all other respects.

I believe it is. Mine has been out since the fall and I don't see any signs of rust yet.

I have had mine since March and so far have not had any rust problems. I am actually going to purchase another one for the shower in my guest bath. Hope this helps.

I have had no issues with rust in 2 years with near constant use. Scale was an issue but citric acid descaling and using filtered water fixed that.

I've encountered no rust problems as yet. I've had mine for several months and it's been under the patio the entire time.

Hi Daniel,I got mine on April 21st. I'm using it daily ever since.I just checked it, and there was no sign of rust inside it.Note: I fill it with water from the reverse osmosis purifier only. Maybe that's why I haven't got any rust.ibraheem

Mine have only been installed for about a month and a half so no rust so far. I don't expect any problems though.

I've had mine for about 5 or 6 months and it still looks fantastic. No rust at all.

Still pretty new, about 3 months and no rust. With rain, snow and ice no problem but I do wipe the tips off when I wash the vehicle. Both systems and tips are made by Gibson Performance I believe. The black coating looks good and no chips yet. I do like the size of these tips over the extra large Mulisha. I like the system.

Send it back. I had mine for just a few months and it rusted. I had it in my house and nowhere near water. It's junk.
