They are made by Dewalt :tu: I always keep one in my pocket because we normally use 5/16 hex bits on our impact drivers but we come across Phillips screws enough that this is always handy to have :cheers: :like:

Just saw Leatherman are releasing a limited edition black and silver Wave, Surge and something else. I'm sure it'll appeal to some on here, but not me

Nice pic :tu: Did you do anything with the colour balance though? There is a blue sheen over the Surge...

Just joined the club tonight. Going to semi retire my bigger Kershaw tremor and replace with this smaller Buck pocket knife since the Surge has a decent sized locking blade. Looking forward to start carrying it tomorrow!

  Does this New Surge's Blade Exchanger actually fit some of the metal cutting blades that Leatherman touted earlier on? Think LM said T-10 base would fit.

  Oh, and does the new cover (whatever locks the saw/file/other blade in there) stay put? The original one slides out too easily and I don't think ever stays put. So asking in the new blade exchanger fitting, does it stay intact & locked-in?

The new Surge's exchanger has a spring that should reduce or eliminate the wobble that the old exchanger had. It does a reasonable if not perfect job at that with commercially available T shank blades..

From the left: new Surge, T shank blade that fits, old Surge exchanger on my modded ST 300 VX.

Edit: the spring also helps to keep the cover shut.

Stays in securely but still plenty of wiggle for me.

  Wonder if there's a way to modify the old model cover? The one I have, not used much, keep sliding about half-way when opening that tool. I can catch it most the time, other times, like when I'm working on a task or project, whatever implement I have in there falls out.

  The only issue I've had with the Surge is the blade exchanger "keeper" and the liner locks. Found out long ago how to modify the liner locks so the safeties engage. So it now it's more of the blade exchanger. Would like to convince Leatherman to upgrade my current Surge to the newer version, but I don't see that happening with their new people.

  Thanks for the feedback! :D

Perhaps I should take my '93 Hiace back to Toyota and see if they will replace it with the current model....  ;)
