Does she know that you must own a Surge to own a Surge? That doesn't seem like a circular argument at all. :P

I passed on one yesterday , played with it for a while , was very tempted , but found the weight penalty to be excessive .

For now , if I need a H/D multitool , I always have my full sized Swisstool in my bag .

The example I handled , had a revamped saw/ file adaptor , and blade fit is better with SDS/ T shanked saw blades , than I previously remember .

I also played with a Rebar   felt tinny compared to my Charge +TTI , not a fair comparison , but the impression is enduring .

Best Regards ,

Chris

Surge is the best MT model from Leatherman, I feel.
I bought two. 

Having two is great, because there are times when you use saw and file together.  For example, one is loaded with saw, the other with file. In other times, one with plier, and one with knife or scissors .... etc etc.

Very quick operation time.

 :like: I refer to it as a disorder :gimme:

Before finding this forum I had 1 LM WAVE, never carried, as it was a gift from my son and I opted to save it for later.  Then found SAK Alox, a small bite, but luv'd the Orange alox, and needed a Pioneer, then a Farmer, then saw a Blue Farmer,  :gimme:  This was the start, all thanks to following SAK Guy here from a gun forum.

Then... found a ST300 marked down, less than 1/2 price,   knew not to leave it behind.  Then a 30 day ST300 challenge, then learned about the Rebar, (a smaller ST300), then another challenge, then a marked down WAVE, a couple more Rebars.

Then a Surge 30 day challenge, I maintained restraint, I read the postings, followed from beginning to end, and it broke me down, I ordered a Surge, had to have one.

It is seldom used,  but a very trusted tool, as I have it selected in a BUGOUT Bag. Primary reason over my other MTs is the AWL and larger scissors.  Also, larger blades.  It does go on trips to the wild and other adventures than can go bad as result of a accident or such.

And in all my time on this earth, I have learned, once you obtained want you want and need, you then continue searching for the next best prefect tool.  It does not end... :multi:

Forgiveness, over permission.



If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!

   A WISE man knows whether or not to say it!!!

The Surge for me is a very good tool due to the bit driver and blade exchanger.  Yes weight wise its a beast as compared to other MTs.  As part of a kit  :tu:.  Around the home  :tu:.  I don't carry one for work as much anymore however its not neglected.  I've got 3 in total.  My older version one is my home tool.  A small selection of blades and not much running back and forth to my garage.  Tackles most jobs straight forward.  My new version BO is in my evacuation bag.  My SS new version was a gift so its gets special treatment.

Me too  :facepalm:.  I debated between the Surge and Wave.  The new Surge with replaceable cutters was in the works so I went Wave.  A short while after getting the Wave I found a nice used old Surge.  I ended up taking it apart to steal the blade exchanger and awl to put into my modded Wave.  That Surge sat in pieces.  I got the BO one because I missed my Surge.  All was good again.  Then my friend went to the Leatherman Store and bought me the SS one.  She had no idea I had just got the BO one.  She knew I had taken apart my older one.   

I was able to source a damaged old Surge.  I removed the BE and awl from it and put them into my original Surge.   Thats how I ended up with 3  :D

:like::iagree:

I haven't carried two Surges yet, but having an extra MT is great. I usually have the OG Mr. Pinchy and SAK Explorer in my back pocket to compliment the Surge. I know there is a lot of redundancy there, but with my job, they will certainly be used. :)

Right now I am only carrying the Wave for the challenge. I miss having tons of capability on my waist. :ahhh
