Four months of daily carry, home repairs, and camping put the Leatherman Wave Plus's pliers, outside-access blades, and build quality to the test — with a few real annoyances along the way.

The best cutting edge we've used under $20, attached to a wooden handle that swells shut if it gets wet and a design with no clip and no one-handed opening.

Fourteen months of daily commuting, six flights, and a dozen local hikes with the Osprey Daylite, Osprey's cheapest daypack, tested against both a $20 generic backpack and a $180 tech-focused pack.
