Well i bought another Surge at Wallyworld for 40 bucks on clearance. I bought one in a box and boy did it ever rattle. I went to another Walmart and exchanged it for one in a blister pack and no rattle at all. I guess the one i have now is newer.
If you are in the Houston area and want an old model Wave the walmart in Atascocita has 3 new in blister packs for 79.99. Kinda high me thinks....and they come with the crappy nylon sheath not the old school leather one.
Oh well back to the Surge. I gave my father in law my older one last year as a thank you for housing us during hurricane IKE. Thought id give the Surge another go and rotate it into play for a while at work. For the price i couldn't pass it up.
