I redneckenized my Surge today. Acid wash with a 5 minute gravel swash.

I'm gonna let general use do the rest of the scrubbing.

What are you using for the thumbhole wrap?
I had duct tape on mine for a while, but yours looks like a better idea.

I believe it is Micro Sized Cord. I had some scraps from somewhere but this was my last bit of colored stuff but I do have a spool of silver if you want some. (Cord Sizes)

I wrap all the blades, works great,

The silver is bright at first but it does get dingy if you don't wash it

That's pretty cool. Thanks for the info, and the offer. It's not very expensive, so I'll just order some  :tu:

Broke the Surge out today. I left my Wave in my truck, and needed a serrated blade to cut garden hose!

I keep it in the Sheath with the strap cutter.

No signs of rust on the etched finish!

Not to mention the matching plier heads look SO much better!

Blue Collar Surge is BACK!

Wintertime in Florida means that I get to wear pants for 2 weeks!

I have a newer surge head to swap in sometime this week and I will update the photos.

Glad you just posted. I had never seen this post. Nice work! Nice blunt-nose plyers as well. They are usually more suited than needle nose when removing those spring loaded hose clamps, not the worm gear ones.

Though there is a difference between blue collar and the proverbial "red neck." Anyone please chime in and correct me, but
To me, anyway, "redneck" implies a certain understanding and ability to work the land, hunt and fish, while, overall, blue collar may not. Red Neck, historically being more a land working and hunting class all by itself, can in modern times often imply blue collar, while blue collar does not necessarily imply red neck, as they may not have those added skill sets or mind sets.

Larry the Cable Guy = red neck
Archie Bunker Al Bundy, and, oddly enough, that lady from Flashdance = blue collar.

I do not remember where I picked up these replacable cutter heads but they don't fit!

They are narrower than the original heads, and when the pliers are deployed the tips do not close because the tools hit each other.

I always thought Blue Collar = practical occupation eg mechanic, farming, builder, other trades
and Redneck = close-minded, racist, homophobic etc  :think:

They look like Rebar pliers, you need Super Tool 300 or new school Surge pliers.

Pivots are the same diameter and those do look like Rebar pliers.
