Day 29. Still working on the house. Most of the work got done with the tools in my Klein Journeyman's pouch, namely the Channellock E318s, Belknap hammer, and cheapo (Harbor Freight) 4-in-1 screwdriver. But I did cut open some Gatorades with the serrated blade.

So far, my thoughts are as follows: Yes, the Surge is a heavy tool; that's kinda to be expected. It's built for heavy work, which is what I do, so it fits in well. A lot of my problems stem from it being an older model: the fixed cutters don't cut too great, the saw holder gives me a lot of trouble and fits jigsaw blades loosely; but I do like the Core plier head and fine screwdriver the older model gives me. The blade is uncomfortable with a lot of pressure, something an old design like an ST300 or PST doesn't do. Cutting wire; especially hard wire,  is the other way around on those models--but that's why they recommend you wear leather rancher's gloves when doing so. With those, that problem is alleviated.

On another note, I've got a hankering' for a Fuse; going to the 'Bay right now to get one.

Day 30, final day.

Did some cutting with both blades; and I noticed my old Miller's Falls 2-A drill had two oil ports for lubricating the shaft that I hadn't paid any attention to before. Used the eyeglass screwdriver to ensure no gunk was in those holes before oiling them both.
