Radar Reflectors: Tri-Lens Overtakes Davis EchomasterRadar may be a skipper's best defense against collision at sea. But not everyone can afford today's units, which can cost several thousand dollars. The next best thing is a radar reflector. Multi-Tools: Leatherman Wave Soaks Competition In a field of 18, Leatherman leads the way with a quality tool at a low price. The Gerber 800 Legend, the Kershaw, SOG’s Powerlock and the Spyderco SpydeRench also sit at the top of our list.
