Came up with a justification to get a Surge !
on: August 30, 2018, 04:29:39 PM
A Surge , based on the “T” shank Jig saw blade adapter , would mean I no longer need to carry a folding Drywall/ Jabsaw whilst working . It might just be one of the better urban survival tools . Guess thet makes two justifications .

I only wish it had an S30V, or 154CM master blade option , which is in turn a justification for contimuing to carry a high end folder !

Best Regards ,

Chris

Ah the old justification route....  :D

Whatever gets a Surge in your possetion. It’s a amazing tool and after years and years of trying basically all the tools from all the manufacturers it’s the one that I now carry each and every day.  :tu:

The Surge is a great tool.  I believe in mine so much so that it lives in my emergency evacuation bag.  With year round fire season here in California I dont want to fuss with a tool I'm not confident in.   :salute:

I think in that situation , I would probably go with a Swisstool , but a Surge would certainly do the trick !

Actually , as a Widower , I don’t have to justify anything . Even when I was married , or otherwise hooked up , I could always slide stuff in , under the “tool” rubric .

Chris,

The Surge is a top-class capable MT. There are several good reasons to have one, and the blade exchanger is one of them.
My most used MT in work-EDC is a Surge with 21pc bit set (gives you 42 drivers), fine wood blade, LM wood blade, bi-metal blade, and LM file.
The pliers(also in ST300 and MUT) are the strongest pliers of any MT. Replaceable cutters are excellent.
My main criticism is that it has two blades, neither of which are premium steel. I'd like to see it revamped with a 154CM/S30V PE blade and a prybar-type tool(like the one on Gerber Freehand).

I hope you enjoy yours as much as I have mine.  :cheers:
