My Thread for the LM Surge 15 Day Merit Badge

Day 1... Surge and accessories. This is my go to MT setup for serious work around the house. I can do 90% of the general tasks around the house with these. Unfortunately it's too bulky to be carrying around all the time. Here they are chillin under the Christmas tree.

Sweet, an old Surge. I kove the look of that Plier head, its looks fantastic. Too bad LM only put iton the Core, and old Surge

Yeah, the old Surge pliers are nice. The new ones with the replaceable cutters look meaner and I like that too. But LM chose not to do the small bit holder which is a shame.

Day 2... our baby is growing taller. Had to make a few DIY table corner bumpers. Usually I would use a Wave for such a task. But I need Surge Pics so used the Surge instead.

Darn, I opened the thread hoping you were trying to bribe a mod with a Thread for a merit badge :twak:

Great going :tu:

The mods can be bribed? Hmm...   8)

I wanted to do the challenge but it's a busy month for me and I missed playing with my other MTs last month. So going for the gold badge instead.

Day 7... The small bit can be very handy. Too bad they did not include it in the new Surge. I get it that it's out of place in a Heavy Duty MT but it adds some versatility to the MT.

There was a solution found here on the forum (sixth photo), it was for the Wave but it LM really should do something like it on the Surge.

That look interesting... a cavity that fits the mini bit. Does it work well? In Ob1's pic it does not look perpendicular.

Day 8.... Served cheese and crackers to my wife's friends. There were a lot of Ooohs and Whaaats  :D Most of them had not seen a MT up close. Needless to say I cut the cheese both literally and figuratively  >:D

Day 9.... Got a new car booster cushion for my wife. She is vertically challenged, a little. Much nicer than the one I made her, haha. Used the Surge Scissors to cut out labels while waiting in the car wash.

Day 12... Got a belt on clearance but it was not my size and the last one. Used 4 tools of the Surge to shorten it to my length.

Thank you Mr Z.  Hmmm... the red badge. I will give it some thought. I like that you can go for the badge without the prize and use other tools  :multi:
