Given that they clearanced the last one hard, and it hasnt come back this year, its highly unlikely.
The model in this deal is almost certainly a replacement product.

This is the same as the leatherman Rev.
I've had this for a few years, not a bad knife but not super ergonomic.
The regular pliers require two hands to reposition, or you have to do some tricky maneuvering with a few of your fingers to open the pliers again with one hand. The spring-loaded pliers will open by themselves if you ease up on them. The cost is that the head has to have a section hollowed out for the spring, which makes them weaker. But I'm not in the habit of hammering things with the pliers on my Leatherman, so it has never been an issue.
The REV does have a package opener instead of a small flathead screwdriver on the Bolster. I think the package opener is fantastic and much more useful for most people. Its angle makes it a breeze to cut through tape on boxes, while its length means it does not penetrate as deeply as if you use the can opener or a knife. It also cuts much more easily through plastic anti-theft packaging than the can opener or a knife (more control). (The Costco description says small flathead screwdriver, but the pic looks more like a small serrated blade.)
Both are 3.8 inches closed. The top line Wave is 4 inches, which doesn't seem like much but the Wave felt a lot bulkier in my pocket, easier to clamp the pliers (more leverage). Of course it also costs 2.5x more.
I haven't been happy with the heat treat on some of the cheaper Leatherman tools (they bend/gouge too easily). But with that warranty, I'll just send it in for a replacement if it gets too damaged. They've also mailed me a replacement clip which broke, after I sent them photos of the broken piece. I didn't have to pay to ship them my tool.

LOL IDK how to feel about buying this tool, I feel like I am ripped off. Do you think they will price match if it's drops 90 days later?
