Surge cutting/gut hook mod
on: November 22, 2019, 05:05:05 PM
I'm happy to be a new member of the Leatherman surge club. The main thing I missed that my Charge+ had, was the gut hook. Luckily I happened to have a spare one. I removed the serrated blade which I've never been a fan of, and much to my pleasant surprise, the pivot hole was an exact match!! I was so excited I forgot one or two of the copper washers and had to redo my work. Anyway here's the pic of a great tool and the blade I removed.

Thanks WSpeed.

This blade has a lot of unique potential. With my Charge, I was working on my first laminate flooring install. At the end of the job, you're putting planks against the wall, lengthwise. You have to lift and pull them towards you to lock them in, then lay them flat. The only tool I owned, that would grab the edge of the boards and lift them for me, was this blade. It literally saved the day...so when I moved to the Surge I soon felt a dire need to install this blade. I'll get pics of the 5 min swap loaded when I get a chance.

Any updates on this? Does the blade wobble?
