I've had 4 Leatherman tools, starting with a Supertool in 1997 which I thought I had lost but was given back a year later. Then a Supertool 300 I bought to replace it. Then my son gave me a Blast. Now I've got a new Surge. I like most of the features but the blade is too small and the file is not up to much.
I've cut down a Japanese saw blade to fit and a reciprocating saw (metal cutting) blade too. I used the Recip blade in New Zealand to mod a rifle scope mount. The Allen key and Torx bits have been used multiple times.
Great Tool. Very handy. Very heavy.
I am modding a good German made file to fit it and a chisel too.
The little Jap saw works really well. Far better than the original. Cuts a thick piece of timber quickly and very accurately. Good enough for hand cut dovetails.

The chisel is being made from a piece of a worn out thicknesser blade that a saw doctor gave me for nothing. HSS and plenty of steel. I cut it with a ultra thin angle grinder blade while it rests on a wet cloth to absorb the heat.
