Title: Who has a SURGE!!!
Post by: Poncho65 on May 31, 2009, 12:14:47 AM
Well while off at another Wal-Mart I found a Surge for $40 bucks :o I just had to pick 1 of these bohemoths up :D Like everybody says this sucker is HUGE :ahhh I didn't realize how much bigger than the Wave it really was :o Now I know why Def said it affects yourn gas mileage :D I know most of you have them but in the tradition of most of my MTs I figured the Surge deserved a who has thread ;) :D

I don't want to burst your bubble, but the only people with Surges are insane collectors.

They were released by Leatherman as an April Fools joke, they're not considered to be a real tool.

I have one that I edc every day along with a AAA Mini Maglite and a half dozen extra blades tucked into the leather sheath. It's used just about every day for one thing or another. Wouldn't live without it.

Got one.  Got another one (camo) on the way.
I like it.

It's not that big.  About the same as a Swisstool.
Looks downright petite next to a Swissgrip.

Title: Re: Who has a SURGE!!!
Post by: DaveK on May 31, 2009, 02:48:33 AM
A fair point that Andy.

It's the same size as the Swisstool, Supertool, Supertool 200, Core, Super Bear Jaws, Gerber Freehand, Gerber Legend etc...

It is quite fat though :D

Post by: Chako on May 31, 2009, 02:49:08 AM
I have one also. I love the tool set and the versatility. However, It doesn't feel all that great in my hand. I prefer the simpler lines of the Core myself.

That's completely wrong! The SURGE is quite a popular tool around here and a few of my buddies have 'em too. At the moment, I have three SS SURGE's, 1 BO, 1 BO with cap crimper, and a CAMO SURGE ON THE WAY!!!

At one point, I had 8 SS SURGE's.  :-[ I have had no less than 20 pass through my hands.
Title: Re: Who has a SURGE!!!
Post by: thebullfrog on May 31, 2009, 03:25:35 AM
I have one. EDC it every day. Always in my pocket even when I'm not leaving the house. My SURGE!! is with me 24 hrs a day.
And now that I've learned of the existence of the camo version, I've decided I will own one of those sooner or later as well. Though in a sense I don't see the need for extras when the first one has proven indestructible. But then when it comes to the SURGE who wants to be sensible?

It was my VERY First MT & I love it. The tool exchanger is such a great idea, I hope LM puts it on some other models. It was a surprise present from my wife so it is definitely a keeper.
I am positively not with  Mr Nonads on this  :P :P(silly fella set fire to his Surge).

BTW Poncho $40 GREAT pick up mate , I hope you like it half as much as I do :D :D

yup. I have one. I EDC'd it for a couple of years. Amazing tool. I got a promotion about a year ago. I don't so much build stuff anymore at work so Mr. Surge is mt weekend working around the house tool now.

I believe it is the most capable multitool there is.

I won't sell my surge. Don't get me wrong. I just don't like the ergonomics when folded. Two opposite blades that jut out in the closed position. It just doesn't sing to me in the hand. Mind you, the tool set is second to none.

Hi,

I've got five Surges.  They are SS, SS set with c308 knife (Costco 2006), BO, BO & Mossy Oak Breakup and BO- CC.

Big tool - would be great on a jobsite.

Say, did they make an SS with CC SURGE?  :)

What would you think of a Surge-sized Crunch, with TI scales?  :gimme: :gimme: :gimme:

I think I'd have to buy one, that's what I'd think.

That tool would probably be a bit higher than the Charge series :o :D

I think the SURGE is a under appreciated tool look at the wave, they have the 25th anniversary wave, the Damascus wave. The Charge have the ALX series, the silver collection. The SURGE only have the SURGE wish they could bring out a limited collection one........... I may not afford it but at least its out there! :D

Post by: AndyTiedye on June 28, 2009, 12:27:25 AM
For a piece like the silver one that is going to be put on display and not carried, bigger is surely better and if it costs a little more, the diehard collectors will still pay.

A TI Surge would be of interest to users as well as collectors, as it would enjoy the same ergonomic advantage over the regular Surge as the Charge does over the Wave.

I love my Surge but it came defective from the factory. Instead of sending it back I have been carrying it for a few months. I think it’s about time for the warranty though and it has been replaced by a Wave until I get around to sending it in.

I've been a surging supporter of the Surge for a long time. Recently, I saw LM had the two tone Surge on sale for a few bucks off($87 with free shipping) and had the urge to get one, since I've enjoyed the stainless Surge so much.  Now I have 25oz of Surge!

Thank you, Loopcutter!

I was going to pay full price, since I had saved up the money for two weeks and added it to my cart. When I went to check out, the total was $87 w/free shipping. :o
I checked the next morning, so I could post the deal here, but it went to the cart at full price that morning. I usually don't buy from LM's site, because they are higher in price, but they were the only place that had the two tone at the time. Maybe they'll do that deal again in the future! The one I received had no defects, so that was a huge plus as well. :)

With that cornyness out of the way: this is my usual setup. The Surge rides either in my pocket with the clip or in my ruck which is usually nearby when away from the house. Otherwise it stays in a nightstand drawer until needed.

That's a TxTC blade. The factory blade was a lemon, so I ditched it instead of sending it in for warranty. Very happy with this one!

The B5 Toollet is perfect for the accessories.  :tu: I might end up ordering an XL Shield soon, though. The weight of the tool itself is causing the pocket clip to wear out pockets more than a typical knife or smaller tool.

I have a Surge and i try to love here but it is difficult. I keep going back to the smaller Charge.
I like the saw/file exchanger because i can put a mettal saw in there. But the tool is to big for everyday use. I carry it on my belt when i do longer motorbike trips but i really prefer the Charge.

Post by: cody6268 on January 04, 2019, 03:16:57 AM
I like my Surge. Having OHO tools as well as the ability to use any reciprocating saw blade commercially available is great. However, I just keep going back to my ST300. I guess because it was my first decent HD tool, and secondly, fixed drivers with decent reach, and actually designed to use with your gloves on. That and it's still the classic brick format.  In cold weather, that's a necessity.  But the ST300 doesn't have scissors, unless you mod it.

Still on the fence about the Surge . I want one , but haven’t pulled the trigger . I would be more inclined to , if it had a 154CM,or S30V blade steel .
