Title: NEW Leatherman SURGE owners club.
Post by: BigMatt on November 29, 2013, 01:10:42 AM
Well it's in the open now so somebody have to do it.
Just got mine in the post (actually a letter with custom charges and address where I can collect my baby) :mail:.
I was so concern that Leatherman will miss the opportunity to iron out all the small problems and we will have to deal with all those annoying things for another 8 years. But they did it right. Old Surge had that rough, unfinished and unpolished feel to it. This one is really solid and smooth. Everything fits tight without anything sticking out, especially the smooth closing without jamming or slamming shut pinching the flesh of your palm.
If you don't care about the new implements just get it for the improved ergonomics, it really is in line with MUT and Charge rather than Wingman/Sidekick.

Not many people have it yet so this would be a good topic to collect all the info/videos/thoughts we have on this new tool (merge some topics maybe).
Guess what's under my pillow tonight :)

Give it time. It's still a new tool and isn't available worldwide yet. Considering how many people were joining the forum and asking for those it's gonna grow.

Yeah Matt, that's what I was going to say.  Over here in The Colonies, I haven't seen one of the new Surges yet.  Maybe a handful are floating around, but they are not widely available.

I know I know, but we do have at least two other owners here on the forum (in other old surge) threads. At the moment this topic looks like "new surge 300"...
Title: Re: NEW Leatherman SURGE owners club.
Post by: Breezy12 on December 02, 2013, 06:20:02 PM
I guess I should join one of these "owners club" threads eventually... this one seems like a good place to start. :)

I had my new Surge with me for most of the holiday weekend. Nothing really "heavy duty", but he did help with putting up Christmas lights on two houses, cutting down our Christmas tree, and some other small jobs around the house/yard. so far, I'm very pleased with the fit & finish on this tool. it seems to be a cut above the ST300/Rebar, and more in line with the Wave/Charge (which makes sense).

I'll try to get some pics soon. Oh, and a hacksaw blade or something to try out in the new blade exchanger. :D

When are they suppose to hit all the onlne vendors?

I got mine from REI, even though it was on back order they shipped it 8 working days after ordering.

It's big, beefy and looks like it would eat my PST for breakfast  :multi:

I'm not a big fan of this style sheath though- would actually have preferred the nylon one. Don't suppose anyone would like to swap?

If any other Aussie is keen to pick one up, here is the seller:

Highly recommended.

Post by: Chako on December 11, 2013, 02:03:06 AM
Hmmm...weird. I tried to buy one from an American eBay seller. He clearly stated that he shipped to Canada. However, when I went to buy it, it told me he wasn't allowed due to shipping restrictions. I can only hazard a guess this is Leatherman's heavy handed restrictions again. I figure they must hate Canadians.  :facepalm:

Ah well I can only hope that it will jump the border sometime in the future.

I suddenly wonder... Did Leatherman also get rid of the wobble in the removable pocketclip on the Surge?

Mine's actually worse!  Really.  I don't really care anymore...in that I went 'round with LM on that and it was clear they'd decided [as explained to me] that it was a safety issue -- and they weren't about to change it.  Safety - as in something like...the tool getting caught as you're coming down a ladder or a tree...and would give way - so as to not have the user jammed up, not able to get down.  You know - pfft - whatever.

I'm still very anxious to get this hack review up.  I really want to do it right - and in order to do so, need to clear some of my workbench off [read: storage depot from hell].  The light seems to be best there, blah-blah...blah-blah.  Then there's my basement.  FIFTY years of someone else's inherited crap.  Speaking of crap, anyone know where I can locate a basement enema kit?!  He...he...he...ahem... ::) >:D

HEY - anyone know anything about original arcade video games [that don't work video-wise] like - say a "Pac-Man".  That's how the whole basement thing started - someone in the family wants the Pac-Man...now it doesn't work.  I'm not really into it; Spyhunter and that's a different story.

Anyway - I am digging the new Surge - a LOT.  Matt's right - the edges have been slightly rounded off, which is not a bad thing.  LM has done just all right.   :cheers:

I got mine a while ago.  so far it's working like a champ.  the only thing I've noticed is the pocket clip is loose in this one just like the old one was.  That being said it's never come out on be so I shouldn't complain.

Could someone remind me what exactly the upshot is, of having turned the needlenose plier to a sort of snubnosed .45 version?  I try to keep up, but I just evidently didn't get the memo...

It definitely looks cool, but...still don't get it.  :-[

Thanks in advance.

Same reason why its handy to have both type of pliers in your toolbox. Needle nose for detailed work and stubby type for heavy work in confined spaces.
Surge is a hevy duty tool so some people give up the "detail work" part to have more grip in confined spaces.
Basically for all those bolts close to the wall.

OK; fair enough - I can see that.  Actually, one of the few things that would improve - at least the Surge - is somehow allowing for the pliers to open up more, for larger items.  A la Channel Locks or your basic hardware store pliers.  Having said that, not sure how they would do it - exactly...

Thanks, Matt.  Your were right too - about the edges on the new Surge.  They did improve - something I hadn't noticed out of the box.

I've been carrying my old Surge for a couple years in a Skinth and it's not a problem. Tell you the truth I don't know why people always say it's too heavy. Lots of people in the U.S. and elsewhere carry a firearm that's at least twice if not three times as heavy as a Surge. What does a cop carry on his/her belt besides a gun? What does a house framer or an electrician carry on their belts? I'll tell ya. Lots more  :pok:

When I first picked up the new Surge I was shocked by its weight. Locked up the Wave and all other MTs, and EDC this new Surge for a week, I am getting use to its weight ans size. I enjoy the outside accessible scissors very much.
In compare, scissors on Wave are hidden deep inside the tool, be honest I am too lazy to dig it out for simple task.

I have a Surge with full extras that used to be a user, until I got my Swisstool Spirit and realized how a highest standard quality multitool feels like. So I'm not thrilled by the new Surge, unless it is more robust and has less play and rattle.
So, those that have used both, is the new one better and with lower manufacture tolerances?
Title: Re: NEW Leatherman SURGE owners club.
Post by: Kampfer on January 31, 2014, 10:02:12 AM
Don't have a old surge to compare but I am pretty happy with the new one once I got use to its weight.
Sounds like I must get my hands on the swisstool to try it out.
Title: Re: NEW Leatherman SURGE owners club.
Post by: BigMatt on January 31, 2014, 10:46:35 AM
I is much improved. Tight and smooth. Not a swisstool quality but the biggest issues have been fixed,no jamming, no rattle.

Per your suggest, I went to store to handle Swisstool and did some research.
You are correct, Swisstool is perfectly built, superior fit and finish, I will definitely purchase one in future.
But I still prefer the New Surge over Swisstool for the following reasons.

1. OHO blades.
2. Outside quick access saw and scissors.
3. Heavy duty strong pliers with replaceable wire cutter. (in case they are damaged)
4. Adaptable Bits
5. Adaptable & easily replaceable saw blades and file. (in case they are damaged and wore out)

I am under the impression of the Swisstool has larger selection of tools but not not necessary heavier duty.
(many of its tools are exactly same as other SAK)
Even-though all tools are accessible from outside, but they are slower and harder to deploy (finger nail required).
I would see myself spend a little longer to navigate through its two mass groups of tools to locate the one I need.
And its boxy profile looks a little boring.

Just my own opinion
Title: Re: NEW Leatherman SURGE owners club.
Post by: BigMatt on February 04, 2014, 10:03:15 PM
One more thing about the new surge. Until now my I handled it around my girlfriend and coworkers who are quite used to me and my toys.
But this beast can be really intimidating... When you whip the surge out (mine is smooth enough for me to flip it open butterfly knife style) you can see proper WTF looks at peoples faces. The size, new plier head and the shine of the steel really makes an impression, and not always positive.
Title: Re: NEW Leatherman SURGE owners club.
Post by: powernoodle on February 04, 2014, 10:19:14 PM

I have 2 of the old ones, and 1 of the new versions (black oxide), and I would say they are all the same in the fit/finish/tolerances department.  Great for their intended purpose of actually being used as MTs (and I would characterize the Surge F&F as excellent), but still not nearly as smooth as its Swiss competitor.

Absolutely brilliant idea. As I have the small bit in my bit kit I used it once or twice in a pinch by holding it with the pliers. But it's a pain to use it that way, you have solved my problem :)
Please write to leatherman with this idea, also post it in the mod squad. Many people sacrifice the small driver for other tools, but with your solution all you need is to drill a small hole with dremel somewhere on the tool to accomodate the bit.

For those still crying about no Eyeglass Screwdriver on New Surge.
So simple in just putting the eyeglass driver bit in the slot where the belt/lanyard clip goes in with the spring lock holding it in place. No need for any drilling or anything and just removing it and putting it back in the bit card when done. I just tried it with my Wave and it works just as well.

By "drill a hole in any tool" I meant that you can do this even on mt without the pocket clip slot. Like rebar or wingman.

Exactly, no modification.
Fine for driving small screws, but not for poking or drilling.

Depending on how much torque you would need to tighten an eyeglass screw, the tension on the Rebar locking tab should be strong enough to hold the bit and tighten/loosen a tiny screw. Just tried it with my Rebar and it held enough to loosen and then tighten a screw on a pair of sunglasses. :D

You're right though, on a Wingman/Sidekick there isn't a locking tab, hole, or any slot to slide the eyeglass driver bit into.  :(

On another note, I'm going to have to make a trip over to the Army Exchange to see if they got any New Surge BO versions in. Haven't seen any New Surge (SS or BO) at the Navy Exchange yet.  :o

         I love the new surge :multi:. so much better for a few reasons i even started edcing it in my back pocket. My old surge rattled even with the blade ex-changer empty. If I picked the tool up and let one side hang down it would open a tiny bit it wasn't bad or faulty and didn't ruin function. But I have handled other LM tools with nice tight lock ups and solid construction not a hint of change jangle. plus the end caps looked over tightened and warped.

        This Updated Surge is fantastic its build solid all my old concerns are addressed and i got less BO rub off than my first one. Now if they would make a better pocket clip that didn't wobble in the surge they would have covered all bases for everyone. I didn't mind they ditched the little eye glass driver i always figured if you dropped that tool on your glasses it would smash them any way.

My typical carry these days alternates between my New Surge and my ReCharge. Depends on how I feel about the extra weight/bulk.

I also have 2 old model Surges, but prefer the new one hands down. It's such a beast of a tool. Feels like I can abuse it all day and it will just say "Please sir. Can I have some more?".
Title: Re: NEW Leatherman SURGE owners club.
Post by: BigMatt on February 22, 2014, 09:08:07 AM
First dissapointment with the new Surge. Just like the old one. I had to cut a split ring (keyring) and now there is a half mm play in the plier head. The pivot rivet is the same as old surge. Now the wire cutters just jam on thin wire, paper and plastic cable ties instead of cutting them. What is the point of "strongest plier head we have produced" and 154 cutters if the center rivet remains the same? I can't even return it for warranty as I doubt they have them in uk.....

It was a standard key ring made of about 1mm round wire, got it with one hand. We have a Surge killer, key ring....
Title: Re: NEW Leatherman SURGE owners club.
Post by: kkokkolis on February 22, 2014, 09:25:04 AM
Isn't the 3rd wire cutter between the handles more appropriate for a keyring?
Title: Re: NEW Leatherman SURGE owners club.
Post by: BigMatt on February 22, 2014, 09:27:32 AM
I believe its a "stranded wire cutter". And the ring was too small to fit there anyway. And it's a bloody Surge, it should handle a piece of wire.

Thanks man.

the ST300 sheath fits the Surge very well. in my case I use it to store the bit kits and Piranha, and all saw blades go into the tube came with PWII.
The main reason I don't EDC Surge anymore is that one needs to carry all the accessories to take FULL advantage of the mighty Surge.

So the Surge itself I am fine with it, just all the accessories are pain to EDC on person.
So they live in my computer bag now.

Add me to this list. Got my BO Surge a few days ago. I probably would have been satisfied with my Wave as my Work EDC but I wanted useful cutters and the larger size (better leverage) and scissors on the outside was icing on the cake. I use the scissors a whole lot when doing water and chemical testing (have to open these tiny reagent packages by the hundreds) so the Surge is a very welcome addition.

I can't find it anywhere.

LM's web site states the old style saw/file is good for both version of Surge.

I'll have a look and see if I have one laying around.

Do LM make surge w/ S30V blade like in Charge tti?

and how much better is S30v vs 420 steel?
A little review would be nice

Thanks :)

They don't make S30V for Surge.
S30v has much better edge retention, but I am not sure how much.

Apologies if I'm saying the obvious, but that fitting is simply a traditional Bosch standard jigsaw blade. Most jig saws use the same standard, so you can go to Bosch, Lenox, whatever and have a choice of hundreds of different blades -- put a hacksaw blade in, a carbide one, files, scrapers, you name it. I usually carry it with a fine tooth hacksaw blade but that's just my preference.

Clarification: Leatherman DO make and sell saw/file set for the NEW Surge on their website.
But the photo on their site is not yet updated.

I'm sure I've read just about every surge customer review on leatherman's website to help convince myself.

Yeah I have looked at the OHT and while it's neat I see it more as a speSmurfpillsed MT and I need something with a more array of tools.

Honestly what's putting me off the surge is hearing that it's big and heavy, I really need to see it in the flesh before I can commit.

Anyone that carries a surge daily I'm curious and would love to hear why you chose it over other MT's.

I love my Surge. I like because it has OH blades, uses bits, replaceable wire cutters, has an awl. Because of its size, the wire cutters will damn near cut anything. Feels very good in the hand, no matter how you are using it.
Just my take on it.

I notice the weight, but I don't carry in a traditional way.  I mostly wear 5.11 Taclite Pro pants and shorts, and they have a sweet vertical pocket on the left side that's perfect for an MT, so that's how I carry.  When carrying that way, I find the Surge a little heavy [I'm used to the Rebar, which weighs half as much].  But with a big MT like the Surge, belt carry is probably better.

Ebay seems to be the best bet for Australia, about $130 is the lowest you can expect for a new black oxide one and about $110 for stainless.

That didn't take much pushing.
IMO the size and weight wont be an issue once that tool starts work.

I expect that due to the extra size and weight that I will be carrying this on my belt. Which is no problem as I will be mostly carrying this for work purposes and always wear a belt.

Already scored myself some extra T shank bits from work ready to go in the surge when it arrives.

Hello Guys,

I'm new on this forum but i would like to get a Leatherman for first time.

A college of mine uses an LM Surge, the old one, i'm considering the newer one, but I don't really know is the plier way bigger on the newer one or not.

I've seen pictures from both MT's, but i'm still bushed do I need the new Surge coz it's size, or the Wave\Charge would be better.

BTW We're Aircraft mechanic\electricans in our work if somebody has better advice please say it for me.

Hi Josy, welcome to MTO.

Its a tough question and the default answer here is: BUY THEM ALL!

New Surge has replace-able wire-cutters, so if wire-cutting is on your to do list I would say +1 to the new one. If you think you can get away with a smaller tool, the Wave is one of the most popular MTs around.
On the other hand both Wave and Surge are practically useless (IMHO) without bit extender and bits. So if you don't want to carry any more extra stuff, I urge you to look at the SuperTool or the Rebar. And if it doesn't have to be LM, maybe a Victorinox SwissTool or the SwissTool Spirit.

On the other hand both Wave and Surge are practically useless (IMHO) without bit extender and bits. So if you don't want to carry any more extra stuff, I urge you to look at the SuperTool or the Rebar. And if it doesn't have to be LM, maybe a Victorinox SwissTool or the SwissTool Spirit.

@sawman: I'm not familiar with the sizes coz I don't really have chance in my country to hold both on them in my hand only if I met with my colleges.

@Etherealicer: I really liked the heavy\durable size of the Surge but I will take a look on them in my hand. But I'm not sure about that do I need this big tool or I'm okay with the Wave\Charge size....  ::)
 The bit extender will be a standard and first of all thing what I will buy to my LM  ;)

Hello Guys,

I'm new on this forum but i would like to get a Leatherman for first time.

A college of mine uses an LM Surge, the old one, i'm considering the newer one, but I don't really know is the plier way bigger on the newer one or not.

I've seen pictures from both MT's, but i'm still bushed do I need the new Surge coz it's size, or the Wave\Charge would be better.

BTW We're Aircraft mechanic\electricans in our work if somebody has better advice please say it for me.

Thx a lot!
Welcome Josy,

I had the same tough decision of which LM to get between the Surge and the Wave.  It's wasn't easy so I went with the Wave and have never regretted it. That being said I did finally get a Old Surge and WOW, this tool is everything you can imagine and more.  I ended up getting the New Surge and yet again WOW. 

Ok so if I have made things more complicated then sorry but I do have a point here somewhere  :think:.

The plier heads on the Old vs New Surge;
The new head has the 154CM replaceable cutters.  The cutters can get in the way when griping bolts but I haven't had much of an issue.  There are also a few more serrations on the regular plier part vs the Old Surge. The needle nose part is shorter as a result and I may be wrong but the serrations appear finer vs Old Surge.  The regular plier serration are also shallower, not a raised.

There are other differences but I tried to highlight what I feel makes a difference.


The Wave is a very competent tool and cannot IMO be compared to its larger brother.  In its own class its IMO the best multitool LM offers. 

It really comes down to how large of a tool are you looking for and are 154CM replaceable cutters that important to you.  Keep in mind the Surge is a beast and is best worn of the belt.

I hope I didnt make your choice harder and if you want to play it safe GET BOTH.
I tried to put the tools by some items that I hope you are familiar with.  The ST300 was thrown in just because.

The Mini-Surge contains parts from four different LM MTs, it is to show far MTO members can push on mods.
Bottomline is a Wave can get the job done.

Thanks a lot for this comparsion it helped a lot.

My biggest problem is the LM prices are horrible in my country and it's hard to have a look on the selected one.

e.g. : surge 250 $ wave 200 $ charge 300$

My college of mine who had the old surge he was statisfied with the tool the other college said the wave is more than better for everything...
If I would go with wave size, the charge al is more symphatetic for me.

My first idea was to buy a big tool like surge and a smaller one micra or squirt ps4 but from time to time i read more and more and im getting more confused about the choosing... :ahhh

In the beggining i watched victorinox spirit and swiss tool also but after a while i just wanted LM for me...  :o

Welcome to the club, brother...pretty much all non-US coutries have the same issue when it comes with overblown multi tool pricing, and that's not just for Leatherman MTs.

I own close to 20 multi tools purchased over the last 16 or so years, and only the very first one my wife bought me on our honeymoon in Italy was the SAK Swiss Champ purchased in brick and mortar shop. All others were bought online mainly thru Amazon and eBay, usually at 1/3 of the price I would pay in NZ and previously in Cro for a particular model.

So my only suggestion to you would be - when it comes to sourcing of MTs, stick to online sources, most of those will have "for USA sale only" designation on their boxes but who cares really, these aren't life-or-death instruments, they're cool gizmos and contraptions most of us could live without anyway ;)

Cheers!

I use YouShop service by NZ Post when the seller doesn't ship internationally. Intra-US shipping is usually free, then from US to NZ is about US$14 for something like multi tool or similar.

Only added 2 sawblades myself, until now - a metal one which is short enough in it´s original shape, and a second metal one that is larger than the surge itself. Probably will add a long woodblade, too.

Title: Re: NEW Leatherman SURGE owners club.
Post by: Lichtbote on September 10, 2014, 12:19:07 PM
It depends.

While it looks better in black, on the stainless you would be able to see much better it it´s dirtied up with oil and grease after working on your cars engine or any machines - before you put it in your pocket or lay it down on your car seat.

About $20NZD more. Is it worth it if I prefer the look of the stainless? No. But who knows, I may change my mind.
I don't have anything particular in mind, also I'm not very familiar with them, but a fixed phillips would be nice. It's a shame that to mod something in you usually need to take something out.

Tough call between the BO and SS  :think:.  I dropped a BO CnC  ( Cheap n Cheerful ) MT in the grass and had a heck of a time finding it.  While the BO tools are lookers it would depend on what you do with yours. 

I like my SS tools and have polished both my Wave and old Surge to a high gloss.  Good luck on your decision.

While they are two different versions here are a couple Surges SS and BO

Post by: babola on September 11, 2014, 09:18:57 PM

Sure, in that case I'd stick with stainless. Also easier to re-finish by hand after a scratch or a ding.

BO, while a true looker, it isn't a safe queen. Scratches, rubs and dings will all show much faster and more than on S/S but that also gives it a character.

Ideally you'd own both, funds permitting of course ;)
Title: Re: NEW Leatherman SURGE owners club.
Post by: Rossko07 on September 11, 2014, 09:49:53 PM
Once you decide on SS or BO and you finally get it in your hands you won't care about the one you didn't get because both are extremely good tools.

I can think of couple of options there, one affordable and another could end up being quite dear.

If you get the LM bit extender http://www.leatherman.com/131.html#start=5 you could an get one of the quality bit sets (Mitre10 and Bunnings currently sell some quality Irwin sets) and easily transform your 2D Phillips into a proper 3D.

The other option would be a little more costly where you could try installing Core or ST300 full size Phillips tool into the Surge handle.

Anyway you choose...happy days and happy modding!  ;)

My biggest problem is the LM prices are horrible in my country and it's hard to have a look on the selected one.

e.g. : surge 250 $ wave 200 $ charge 300$


Welcome to the club, brother...pretty much all non-US coutries have the same issue when it comes with overblown multi tool pricing, and that's not just for Leatherman MTs.

I own close to 20 multi tools purchased over the last 16 or so years, and only the very first one my wife bought me on our honeymoon in Italy was the SAK Swiss Champ purchased in brick and mortar shop. All others were bought online mainly thru Amazon and eBay, usually at 1/3 of the price I would pay in NZ and previously in Cro for a particular model.

So my only suggestion to you would be - when it comes to sourcing of MTs, stick to online sources, most of those will have "for USA sale only" designation on their boxes but who cares really, these aren't life-or-death instruments, they're cool gizmos and contraptions most of us could live without anyway ;)

Nice Surge!
Haven't  seen a sheath do that the first day! The only thing I can think of is get a scrap piece of leather and make a new loop. Or add a clip like on the back of a tape measure.

The Molle XL sheath made by leatherman may be an option as well - if you are willing to spend the money.

Thought about another piece of leather or webbing, but would need some rivets or posts to do it. Had the cord and gave it a go. You can see my rant on the sheath over at Leatherman website. Thought of getting the XL molle sheath but prefer the snap.

I took longer than most members to join the Surge club but I finally joined.I am impressed with the fit and finish of this tool.

The only mod I made,in the short time I've possessed this tool,was to polish the plier head so the seam of the casting doesn't readily show.It does bother me a little bit that the plier head is cast rather than forged and I don't like to be reminded of this fact with the presence of that annoying seam.

Same here. Die casting pliers isn't cool but it shouldn't matter much as the LM pliers if and when they break they break at other places like the tip and the pivot point. It does keep the overall cost of production down, though.

Welcome tho the club.  :tu:

Been carrying my surge for about a month now. I was skeptical of utilizing the pocket clip on such a large lm, but it doesn't bother me one bit. Ive always carried my charge, wave, Gerber 600 and pocket knives in the same pocket, so maybe that's why its not something I had to get used to.
I loved the way ducttapetech customized his b.o. surge so I had to steal the mod :salute:
Now that Halloween past I found some acrylic green glowing paint that I really thought would have been awesome, but it was too watery. So had to go with the paint marker. Thanks for the idea Nate :D

Thanks guys  ;).

And yes, it's an amazing tool.  I had been thinking about buying a Surge for a couple of years now. I held it in my hands more than once at the local outdoorshop, but always found some reason not to buy it.  When the new Surge came out, I was happy that I had waited to buy one, because I really didn't like the plastic thing on the old Surge's scissors, call me small minded, but I really don't like any kind of plastic on my multitools  ::).

So finally I saw the BO Surge on sale at this Dutch webshop, and just thought "it's about time that I buy one of these bricks ... ", and since Christmas was coming up, my wife thought it would be a nice gift (and she was right  ;)).

I'm really liking it, even though it's one heavy tool ...  I mean, my ST300 is not a small or light tool, but compared to this one ...  :o

Caused by the shearing force when the piece is stamped out in the press. Mine is the same. Even the edges of the handle pieces have it but it has been sanded out a bit.

Post by: ducttapetech on January 13, 2015, 11:36:09 AM
I had one of the Black Molle sheaths. It was made nice but it had no place to put my bit extender and the bit cards would flop around when I was using my Surge. Then I had to pull them out and put the Surge and bit cards back in at the same time. That could have just been my sheath. I liked it, but fought with more than I liked too.

I ended up using the Premium leather/nylon one. Although, Dmac says that the Molle XL is a sweet sheath. Has all the pockets and stuff.

Its my second BO, after my Rebar.

Allways loved SS more, but had to try this as BO. Long time i have searched for new style Surge, and thanks to Kampfer i have one now.

Welcome to the club Crow  :cheers:.

My BO Surge came with the premium leather sheath, did yours come with the (small) black Molle sheath ?  When I ordered my Surge, I ordered a black Leatherman Molle XL sheath along with it.  I knew this was a great sheath since I already own a tan one that came with my MUT.  I also got myself two other Molle sheaths (Tasmanian Tiger (http://intranet.tatonka.com/infosys/php/artintt9.php?7698_TT%20SGL%20Mag%20PouchMP7%2020+30round)), a khaki and an olive one since they only cost 10 Euro each, and they also held up quite nicely so far.

I just find it a bit strange that mine came with the premium leather sheath since I thought the BO tools always came with a Molle type sheath.

It came small black Molle sheat as pictured. I thought it would be premium leather though. But it was glad surprize it was Molle sheat. Xl sheat could be great, but i dont like to carry much stuff on my belt. They do look great in different colours, and price is not that bad. Will have to see, if i get bit kits, or some bits. Skinth has been on my mind for awhile now.

Just noticed that the link in my previous post doesn't work right now (it did work when I posted it, maybe a problem with their site), so here are a few pics I took from those two "Tasmanian Tiger" sheaths:

The one on the left is holding my OHT, the one on the right my Rebar (same size sheath, but you can adjust the closure flap with velcro). No pics with the Surge, but the one I use for the OHT works great for the Surge also.

The Skinth sheaths look awesome, and I know a lot of people here really like them, but I have a hard time deciding which one to pick (the agony of choice ... :-\), so I'm going to wait until I figured out what I need.  These Tasmanian Tiger sheaths were only 10 Euro each, and because I ordered them with my Surge I didn't need to pay delivery costs.

Just got the new Surge in the mail. To bad I am stuck on an offshore rig so I haven`t seen it live yet .. Although I went straight online and bought the bit kit, the bit extender and the lanyard ring and pocket clip for it.. This is addictive stuff. Can`t wait to get home now. It is the stainless steel version with the leather sheath and nylon sides. Planning on adding a custom firesteel on one side of the sheath as well..

I've used the tan one a couple of times now and I had no problems with it (so far), I use my MOLLE sheaths mostly for hiking (the ones from Tasmanian Tiger and my Leatherman Molle's), and sadly enough I don't do much hiking this time of year (not nearly as much as during spring/summer), so in a couple of months I will be able to give an update on how they're holding up  ;).

Im loving my Surge, its been about 3 months and very impressed with design and quality, love that its American, still using the Leatherman XL Molle sheath holding both bit sets and mounted on belt, I like this sheath cause its sits low on my belt and doesnt dig into my fat gut, the Maxpedition sheath was light years ahead in quality but it sits too high up and jabs my gut,its a shame I wish they had a different design, anyway, yes its heavy, but even though I dont use it much its invaluable and its well worth it as my EDC, keep up good work Leatherman and that helps me do good work too :) PS thanks for all the hard work in keeping this forum running too!

Hi All,

I had the original Surge that I purchased back in 2009.  Last year I noticed a crack on the frame of the Surge and I sent it in for repair/replacement.  Due to Leatherman's amazing 25 year warranty they exchanged it for a brand new 2013 model Surge with the replaceable wire cutters.

Unfortunately my new 2013 model Surge also cracked at the exact same spot.  I haven't even used the Surge for any heavy duty tasks, as my every day carry tool is a Super Tool 300.

So I will be sending my 2013 model Surge in again to be replaced by Leatherman's amazing warranty.

I am just wondering if any of you guys out there has experienced the same problem?

Please see my included photo.

Welcome to MTO,  first off glad LM sorted you out however what a PITA to now have to send a new one in for replacement on the same exact issue.  I have 4 Surges and will check them for this issue.  I have 2 new and 2 old version with one on each seeing regular use.  I hope it's not to much pain to have it sent back, I'd ask for free shipping since this is supposed to be a NEW tool.

No replies last time hopefully this time. Looking for anyone with some experience on this?

While I don't mind the coating coming off on other parts of the tool due to the texture of the material on the blade exchanger it looks like s**t with out BO on it.

I am getting interested in a Surge, but having to mess around with swapping the file and the saw seems like a real pain to me. The main benefit of a Surge versus an ST300 is the easier deploying tools. I do a lot of work where I just need to take out my tool and use the file or saw and put it back away. Do Surge owners just get used to swapping out tools a lot?

It's quick to do. I use both a lot when I carry my surge and it's not an issue for me.

I personally do not have an issue with having to change the blades but I'm not constantly using those tools either.

Yes, you have to swap out blades for what the task requires but you get a wicked pair of scissors that would normally be a file or saw and the ability to use any t shank blade in the holder. More positives for me.

If these are your most used tools perhaps a wave might be the go..?

Title: Re: NEW Leatherman SURGE owners club.
Post by: Henry on July 01, 2015, 09:36:05 AM
Being able to swap out the saw is great. You can have a few different saws (t-shanks are thin and tiny) so that you use a suitable blade (useful if you're cutting plastic/metal). You can also easily have a new sharp saw, so if you're a heavy user, thats a big benefit!

Being able to expand the Surge is one of the things I like about it, with: saws/files/extenders/bits. Its a big tool anyway, so is normally sheath/bag carried and the add-ons make it really capable.

Let me say before starting this review I have been a big fan of SOG multi tools since the late 1990s. I once tried a Leatherman in the early 1990s and it just did not hold up to the abuse I threw at it.

So, all I can see on the inside of both handles is 051. What the hell is that? On my BO surge it's very easy to determine build date by month and year but not on my SS version. This makes no sense to me.

Sometimes the stamp can be very faint. Try with a flashlight using different angles. I'm thinking it's probably 051_.

You are correct and it is seriously hard to see! It's 0514.

Pretty sure it wont

you can see in this picture from Metro that he had to remove quite some material from the Surge blade-exchanger, to fit it into the Charge frame.

Its not the space I meant (OK, the image might have been confusing), there is not enough material on the blade around the pin, to engage the lock. I also think the Surge has larger diameter on the pin.

Been using my new Surge for the last couple of days at work and I'm loving it so far but it does feel a little on the big side at the moment.  Love the cutters, scissors and replaceable saw/file (in fact I've already got some metal saw blades for it) but it's not delicate enough for some of the smaller things I'm working on.  I need to use it for some more heavy duty work, maybe round the house or on the car and as a standalone tool kit with the bit kit when I don't have access to anything else.

After having a gerber for years, I recently changed to the new surge after having my gerber stolen at work. Work said they'd replace it, so I opted for the surge with all the toys and accessories to go with it. I like it so much I also bought one for home to, also with all the bits and accessories for it.

I can say I am really pleased with it. The bit driver and extra bits are a god send at work and make life so much easier, and no need to carry all the other tools I used to.
I started carrying my other surge outside of work but have now bought a Juice XE6 for EDC after a friendly conversation with the local constabulary while out walking my dogs. He saw me trimming a fallen branch from the path and we got talking about the locking blades etc (uk knife laws at its best). After a long walk and conversation with him I decided to err on the side of caution and go with a juice. That plus it gave the excuse I needed to buy one anyway.

Hopefully by the time I get home from work today I will be joining the juice owners club to.

Cheers

Kev

Love my Leatherman Surge, had to send it away for Warranty Repair, as the rubber thumb stud on the scissors broke, they replaced it with the Original Surge but the Awl, Screw driver were all extremely loose, posted a vid on Instagram as I couldn't email it to them and sent the Warranty company here in Australia a link to it and my issues. just over a week later got a brand new Surge v2 with the stainless steel thumb stud...

My Surge with a TEC-S3 Stainless Steel Glow Fob, now just have a paracord lanyard as the Glow Fob was scratching up the pocket clip.

Been using my Surge around the house today and rather than carry the sheath with stuff in I chucked the accessories into my Skinth Toollet:

(https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5623/20819494366_056c66bd7e_z.jpg) (https://flic.kr/p/xHKmkq)
Contains a mini Sharpie, pencil, pocketwrench copy, bit kit and wood and metal saws. Makes much more sense when carried with a bunch of other stuff, and works really well as a pocket toolkit like this.

I had the orignal Surge that I got for my birthday a few years ago, I had to send it away for a warranty repair as the rubber stud on the Scissors snapped off while using them, I sent it away and a couple of weeks later they sent me back a replacement Surge. However it was the Original Model that had the Rubber stud on the scissors and the Awl, Small glasses screw driver and large flat head screw driver are ALL extremely loose. Here is the video I posted on Instagram showing how loose they were.

https://www.instagram.com/p/12GIZcr1eG/?taken-by=theedczone

I sent ZenImports an email and cc'd Leatherman USA in on it explain that my original issue was with the Rubber Stud on the Scissors and now had the loose tools. They requested I send it back at their expense. 

Well I received an email back apologising and thanking me for highlighting an issue with their quality control, so I received my Surge back and to my Surprise they had given me a brand new Surge v2

First off, nice site. I have had, and carry nearly daily, an original Super Tool since 1997 and it has started to get loose in pivot for the pliers head so the wire cutter now over laps making it basically useless , so I sent it in to see what Leatherman will do to it under warranty. In the mean time my wife bought me a Surge for a Christmas president. To say I am impressed is an understatement. It fits my hands so much better and to have the ability to access the knife blades without opening the tool is great. I am looking forward to putting it through the paces at work and home.

Welcome and great to hear you're digging the Surge.  Lots to offer especially when you get into the different T Shank saw blades you can attach.  I'd suggest looking into the bit extender as well.  You can use standard 1/4in bit or get the flat LM ones.  Really packs a punch when all combined.

Here's mine with the accouterments.
Next is a cut down ratcheting ring spanner adapted to fit into the folded surge and an adapter  to fit 1/4" sockets from 5mm to 13mm.
I'm seriously thinking of putting a chisel edge on the end of the serrated blade which I have never in all the years of using a Leatherman found remotely useful.

After carrying the Surge for a few weeks I liked it enough to give it a somewhat permanent home in my tool bag. It replaced a Swisstool X that was there with the ratchet set and the other essential tools I use frequently. The Surge is better there for a couple of features that the ST doesn't have, namely the pocket clip and the ability to add and customize the kit with the bit holders. Also since whatever I'm pocket carrying on any given day will be lighter, this way I can exchange whatever that is for the Surge which is heavier duty, but still easily pocketable. The STX was bumped to my rollaway, where it will find some use along with the Master RT that has been there for a while now.  :)

I found this interesting picture when surfing the web: apparently, Leatherman is still allowed to mark "Made in USA" on packaging when selling abroad. This picture is from a seller in Vietnam.

Guys check this out!
Posting to Australia it says on the offer but if you contact the author of the offer he will probably check if it can be posted to your location also. It is only $11.95 AUD
Here I have attached a few pictures.
Got mine DRHL (its called Detachable Removable Handle Lock for Leatherman Surge) yesterday! This is awesome! Locks the handles when you just need the outer tools only!

It makes the whole tool sturdy when you using the outward located tools and for e.g. I tried to hack couple of palm branches and it was much better in the hand, much much better!

Just tried to do light hammering with the bottom of the tool with the lock attached. Very cool.

Yesterday was the first time I disassembled Leatherman tools. Being a big fan of old-scale Charge, I swapped the used serrated blade from a used Ti with one from a new Wave. This brought my Charge Ti from a 8.5 to a 9.5 in term of being like new :D . I tend to use the Wave more anyway.

So, after being done with the Wave/ Charge swap, I looked at the used Camo Surge I bought off eBay. I decided to refresh the Camo Surge with a new serrated blade from a BO Surge (new version). As I was doing the swapping, I thought, heck, let's just put the new style plier head on the Camo too, to bring it from a 7.5 to a 9.0. An hour in with handles and blade already swapped, I found the new plier head did not fit in the old handle channels properly. It seemed like the stops in the old handles were a bit too high, resulting in a gap between two handles when closed. So, another hour to swap the heads back to their original handles.

So, yeah... the new plier heads will not fit in old handles  :oops: I was pissed, but also had fun playing with the tools.

Don't forget to use some thread locker ie loctite.
If you remove the blade safety lock pins then the handles will close.
Done with the right technique it's possible to reuse the rivet.

Don't Detachable and Removable mean the same thing?  Is that why a bent hunk of steel costs $12?  Got to pay extra for the redundancy?

Hi welcome to the forum, but please keep in mind its considered very bad form (and against forum rules) to post spam links, and links to ebay auctions that are pretty clearly your own.

Regarding the product, I cant see a market as Ive never had an issue with the handles on any of my leathermans flopping open.  If you did, you might have just tightened the screws.

Has anyone tried to modify the eyeglass screwdriver bit to make it fit the large bit holder?

The new Surge does not have the bit holder for the eyeglass bit so I am contemplating to cut off both ends of a bit that I never use, drill a hole through it and then glue or solder the eyeglass bit in that hole with the ends projecting to each side. Would this work or are the Leatherman bits too hard to drill through with a regular metal drill? Any other problems?

I really do not understand why Letherman made a special bit holder for the smallest bits. It must be possible to make a really small screwdriver for a regular size bit holder.

Mail call from Waveman7... Traded him a Signal for it.
For all the Signal dissenters, I didn't get rid of it because I didn't like it, I just realized that for the weight on the trail, I could just bring my Wave in a hip pocket... I know some prefer to hike lighter, but hey... you know; everyone hike your own hike, right?
I digress, I was ready to give the Surge a try. I gotta say, for almost 4 more ounces heavier than the Wave, she's a beauty of a tool... tempting to try as EDC... and I may... ;-)
Anyway, here's some pics:

I have been edc a Surge for about a week with the bit kit, the extender and the file crammed into the nylon sheath. It is definitely heavier than the Charge TTI I had been carrying but not so much heavier that I really notice it. I think in my situation that my kydex reinforced Beltman belt helps out a lot and absorbs the weight. I really think having a good belt is key to carrying a lot of weight on your person

Has anyone tried to modify the eyeglass screwdriver bit to make it fit the large bit holder?

The new Surge does not have the bit holder for the eyeglass bit so I am contemplating to cut off both ends of a bit that I never use, drill a hole through it and then glue or solder the eyeglass bit in that hole with the ends projecting to each side. Would this work or are the Leatherman bits too hard to drill through with a regular metal drill? Any other problems?
To answer your question, yes, someone has done this. I can't remember who did it or where it was posted but it's on the forum somewhere...

Great picture with the modified bit. I wonder why Leatherman didn't do something like that to begin with instead of making a separate bit holder for the eye glass bit.

I am being 100% serious when I say this, but they probably did not think about doing it that way. Very innovative.

G'Day guys, just wanted to introduce myself and express my excitement of becoming the proud farther of a new born Surge today. First time farther and couldn't be anymore stoked. Hopefully i can share our adventures together.

Here is a quick photo of its first project.

The metal in the pocket clip is the exact thickness required so you just need something that thick that will fit in the slot of the surge.

Has anyone tried to modify the eyeglass screwdriver bit to make it fit the large bit holder?

The new Surge does not have the bit holder for the eyeglass bit so I am contemplating to cut off both ends of a bit that I never use, drill a hole through it and then glue or solder the eyeglass bit in that hole with the ends projecting to each side.

I made a similar suggestion to Leatherman in my review of the bit kit. It could even be made out of the same plastic as the bit kit holder, as the amount of torque required on eyeglass screws shouldn't be too excessive.
Anyone want to 3D print something up?

Got it!! My new surge is at home!!It's really big and quite heavy, but not too much for my pocket... the tools (screwdrivers, bit, awl, can opener) are a little bit stiff to pull out...is it normal?maybe i have to oil it a little bit... anyway, the blades are crazy sharp, and the scissors are really useful!!

Congrats on the new surge.  Mine was very stiff when I got it to. To loosen it up I backed off the torx screws just a tiny bit and that did the trick.  They are No.10 security torx.

Poncho I agree on the weight not being a issue. I hear many people talk of Surges and Super Tools being to heavy. But honestly I've never had that problem. I wear a Beltman reinforced double bull hide belt everyday and it supports everything I carry. I normally carry a Glock27 IWB with extra mag, Surge, bit kit w/extender, olight S1 flashlight, butane torch lighter along with my wallet and a Gerber EAB knife. In the summer I always wear shorts, but I think it's all about the belt which most people don't put a lot of thought in

I love my Surge (new model) but I find I don't carry it very often as it isn't comfortable on the belt in my typical work attire. It's fine with jeans or something heavier though.

What I find it is perfect for are those days where a friend asks for help with various odd jobs around their home/property. My Surge + bit kit + blades is pretty good at tackling most things  :D

Here's mine,

By the way do you guys have any wear on he inside of the handles where the pliers go in when folding the tool? And have you noticed that one handle seems to slide over the pliers or the plier slides In a little easier than the other? It did loosen up a bit as I open and close it more but is it normal for one side of the plier handle has to wear into the plier?

Any way here it is

Yep, mine has wear inside the handles but I hadn't really noticed it until I looked just now.

Thank you so much for answering

And do you noticed when folding the tool that one pliers handle fits over the pliers head more snug then the other? And is your pliers jaws completely even when closing the pliers and looking at them from the tip of the needle nose?

Ok so one of the handles doesn't slide into the pliers head tighter than the other it seems like one half of the pliers head is a bit thicker than the other so when I fold the tool one handle has to be pushed onto the pliers a little more than the other but it is getting g looser as I fold them more like the pliers is breaking into the handle not normal?

Here are pics of the tip of the pliers and the wear in the handle witch is normal

It did loosen up a bit as I open and close it more but is it normal for one side of the plier handle has to wear into the plier?

Any way here it is


I've got 3 of them and they all do it, nothing to worry about.

The pliers are crooked by a hair thickness you have to look real hard to notice but I thought that could have been causing the friction in the handles but it looks like just the tip is a hair off,and the lower part is not effected,so I guess they can't be perfect down to 1000 of an inch lol

I think the scratches are normal as mine also does and it did irritate me a bit when it was new.  You will get over it after you use it a few times. 

By the way,  I have one more problem, when I am closing the pliers and when they are almost completly closed, the inner tools will loosen up.  Does that happen to yours?  When the pliers are opened and engaged, the inner tools are stiff and in good position and no problem but when I disengage the plier and when I am closing it, the inner tools will loosen up when the two handles are almost closed completely.  Is it normal? I hope I described clearly.....

I have been using it for awhile and didn't bother to bring it to warranty.  It doesn't really bug me a lot but just want to see if yours do the same..

Oh.  Let me answer it myself I found out it is coz by the screw at the bottom is a bit loosen up.  Maybe caused by turning the tools out from time to time.  Just tighten the screw a slightly bit and it works.

I bought my new Surge last week but after trying it, i sent it back for a claim. One side of the plier was really heavy to close. After reading a bit here it seems to be normal with one harder side. But just how much harder? I hope I will get a better one back soon. I loved it from the start :) I am thinking about polishing it, but how? Just some fine polish creme?
Title: Re: NEW Leatherman SURGE owners club.
Post by: Aloha on November 22, 2016, 04:46:11 PM
Greetings.  Sorry your Surge gave you problems.  As far as polishing it, what I've done is start with wet/dry sand paper working my way up to 2000 grit.  Then I used my Dremil with cotton buffing wheel and green polishing compound.  I followed that up with Mothers Mag Wheel polish.   Hope that helps. 

There are others who have polished their tools using various manners all with awesome results.  Good luck.

I have been converted to multitool world recently and hit right to it with the new surge. Wish I had the older version also wishing I had got the black oxide.
So far it has the leather pouch whilst nice will not hold bit kit plus blades, nite ize pouch which will hold it all but has a large foot print so I plunged for the nylon now.
Also have by sheer luck the universal tool adaptor bought brand new back end of last year only to find out now it's rare so not letting it out of my sight plus the extender.
Have so far made the ratchet driver which works well with the universal tool adapter.
What I'm after is a small bit driver and hoping the package opener from a wingman fits the surge in place of the flat heads.

Hello all of ther Leatherman Surge owner. I just got my leatherman Surge black today and it's my first leatherman tool after couple weeks of thinking which one suits me best. There are some problem that i got and hope that you guys can help me solve my problems. First thing first it's all black and I don't know how but my hand got some black coast after touched my Surge. I used some tissue to wipe it off and it's better now I just wondering is that my fault or is that the black oxide coast is really easy to come off and not durable like in some advertisements. 2nd thing is the pliers is really hard to close and when I watched some video it looks so easy and smooth mine is really hard and you have to use some muscles to do the job.Apart from that it's a amazing tool and I hope it can serve me for many years in the future.  :drink: :drink:

Sorry I can't help with the BO coating, I don't own a BO leatherman. I'm guessing it's just a bit of excess left over from the BO process. If it completely comes off leatherman will replace it under warranty. I'm sure another member who has a collection of BO tools will soon come along and answer this one for you.

With the plier head, it will free up with use. I have 3 surge's at the mo. One was 2nd hand and nice and free when I got it, the other two were that were brand new and were really tight out of the box but have freed up nicely with use.

Almost forgot, welcome to  :MTO:

Great tool, i have same with BO.  It is normal first for that eccess BO to come off.  And at first pliers are rather hard to fold in. It will smoothen with use. Maybe you could add some oil to pivots to make it smoother.
Title: Re: NEW Leatherman SURGE owners club.
Post by: ducttapetech on February 28, 2017, 01:40:32 PM
What the others have said. The BO is just excess. Leatherman's tend to have a break in period which does not last long. The more you use it, the smoother it will get. Also, welcome to MTO.

Hi guys! I'm searching for a belt carry option for my Surge. I'm in a doubt: MOLLE sheat or custom kydex sheat? I'd prefer a horizontal carry, it seems more comfortable...

Some people fit both in the Large Molle... not sure if you can horizontal carry it.... probably can?
Title: Re: NEW Leatherman SURGE owners club.
Post by: Poncho65 on July 21, 2017, 12:16:14 PM
It can be carried both way in the molle sheath but I would suggest finding the better version of the molle as one of them is pretty lame and the other is way better :tu: The better version most of the time has the word Leatherman on it and also has a bigger drain hole :cheers: I am carrying the worse version ATM to see how long it lasts and so far not good :D I do carry a bit kit card and also have the saw/diamond sleeve in it as well :tu:

Post by: Bancomat85 on July 21, 2017, 03:03:25 PM
The Molle (good) one has a big pro: you can have your surge on the belt in a closed sheat... the kydex one shows clearly  the surge, but is way cooler... it's hard to choose...

Nice guys!
Well I am sorta still in the club. Only I managed to crack the frame around the pivot area. I guess I reefed on the old girl one to many times. Looks like I have to buy a new one sometime soon. I'll chalk one up on the list of multis and SAKS that I have managed to bust.

It has been modified to much that I can't get it back to factory and it was my fault that it busted. I knew better that use it that hard. Still, it got the job done. Just feel gutted. The only good thing is, it gives me extra parts for mods.

This is the second one, the original being "Surge Owners Club".
This one was created when the newer version of the Surge (with replaceable wire cutters etc) came out.

This got me to wondering which was correct and apparently both words are :D

I'd call that a shackle (a bow shackle to be precise), but if the kind of mortice/tenon shape was on the end of a hydraulic cylinder, I'd call it a clevis (shackle the item, clevis the shape/attachment concept). So, a standard D shackle works as a clevis (with an in-line force), and a bow shackle accepts forces that aren't strictly inline, such as the four corners of a tonne bag of sand, which are all pulling at an angle to the main load. I'd happily refer to the pin as shackle pin or clevis pin, if used on a shackle  :D

Just throwing that in to confuse Poncho  :P

  Does this New Surge's Blade Exchanger actually fit some of the metal cutting blades that Leatherman touted earlier on? Think LM said T-10 base would fit.

  Oh, and does the new cover (whatever locks the saw/file/other blade in there) stay put? The original one slides out too easily and I don't think ever stays put. So asking in the new blade exchanger fitting, does it stay intact & locked-in?

The new Surge's exchanger has a spring that should reduce or eliminate the wobble that the old exchanger had. It does a reasonable if not perfect job at that with commercially available T shank blades..

From the left: new Surge, T shank blade that fits, old Surge exchanger on my modded ST 300 VX.

Edit: the spring also helps to keep the cover shut.

  Does this New Surge's Blade Exchanger actually fit some of the metal cutting blades that Leatherman touted earlier on? Think LM said T-10 base would fit.

  Oh, and does the new cover (whatever locks the saw/file/other blade in there) stay put? The original one slides out too easily and I don't think ever stays put. So asking in the new blade exchanger fitting, does it stay intact & locked-in?
The new Surge's exchanger has a spring that should reduce or eliminate the wobble that the old exchanger had. It does a reasonable if not perfect job at that with commercially available T shank blades..

From the left: new Surge, T shank blade that fits, old Surge exchanger on my modded ST 300 VX.

Edit: the spring also helps to keep the cover shut.

  Wonder if there's a way to modify the old model cover? The one I have, not used much, keep sliding about half-way when opening that tool. I can catch it most the time, other times, like when I'm working on a task or project, whatever implement I have in there falls out.

  The only issue I've had with the Surge is the blade exchanger "keeper" and the liner locks. Found out long ago how to modify the liner locks so the safeties engage. So it now it's more of the blade exchanger. Would like to convince Leatherman to upgrade my current Surge to the newer version, but I don't see that happening with their new people.

  Thanks for the feedback! :D

:rofl:

It is arguably a warranty case so they should at least repair yours... and maybe, if they don't any longer carry the parts, they'll replace it with a new one. Just fill in the warranty form and return it to try.

I doubt the new exchanger will fit on the old Surge without further mods - probably the pin needs to be at least 0.6 mm longer (= difference between thicknesses of the new and old exchanger).

Sorry - maybe I'm being particularly dense (the post-lunch espresso has yet to work) but I don't see the link between the newer blade exchanger and the old Surge (which you said you wanted to upgrade to the new model)...

As to upgrading the cover - and I take that to mean the part that rotates on the tools pivot to cover the blade exchanger and lock the blade inside the tang/jaw part (?) - to the newer model, I *think* the exchanger tang/jaw part is identical between the two models, so the covers should be interchangeable in principle, so the only remaining problem is to source one and whether it fits in thickness. As to modifying the cover to the new configuration, that might be possible if you can fashion a spring and a hole to let the spring through in the cover. The spring, at a guess, should be 0.6 mm spring steel, which IIRC is hard to cut/drill...

  So the newer version just has a hole in there and spring steel as a tensioner? Am guessing here: The new holder is thicker, which holds the spring end in between where the tool implement slides into? Guessing there would be a small "click" heard when closing the cover.

  Was hoping there was something more to the new blade exchanger. Is the newer Surge's "liner lock" thick enough to keep the blade exchanger cover locked in from moving, or can the cover still slide back to replace tools when the blade exchanger is locked in?


  As for the car comment. Where there are enough cars sold and there is a defect, manufacturer's recall the cars to have the replacements replaced. LM knew of the blade exchanger issues thus why they made an upgrade to it. Yet they don't sell enough to warrant a recall like cars, since a defect in cars could be potentially unsafe to human lives - whereas a tool is minuscule in comparison. So to ask for an upgrade, for a fee, is not unreasonable. ~ Some people go out of their way to intentionally break a tool and expect LM to cover the replacement. <-- That is far worse than asking for an upgrade option.
Title: Re: NEW Leatherman SURGE owners club.
Post by: Syncop8r on October 18, 2017, 01:58:27 AM
The end of the spring pokes through a hole in the top cover and locks into the hole on the Leatherman saw or file (no audible 'click' for me). I have just realised my jigsaw blades do not have this hole.

The liner lock only acts on the main body of the blade exchanger. The top and bottom covers can swing open to change the blade whilst the blade exchanger is locked.

As for the car analogy, sorry I thought you were talking about a superseded design rather than a defect. Still not sure which you are saying it is.  :think:

Post by: Outback in Idaho on October 18, 2017, 11:41:42 AM
  It's the same cover then with a spring added. Probably not as much change then concerning the Blade Exchanger other than perhaps more friction to hold the tool blades in. Thanks, that was what my main inquiry was about.  :D

  The Surge replacement tools still look to be the same on the Leatherman site.

Well I got my Surge a few weeks back but never carried it due to the defective can opener. I was going to return it for a replacement but I kept having issues receiving a return label from the seller and I honestly just got sick of the situation so I told him to issue me a partial refund and I would just send it to Leatherman to be fixed. I decided I’m just going to carry it as is for now. I never use the Leatherman can opener anyways so it’s not a real issue for me. I’m enjoying my new tool finally!

Someone told me (probably earlier in this thread) that I will enjoy it no matter which Surge I get. They were right.
At the time I preferred the stainless steel although I love the BO OHT I got more recently.
The two-tone looks  :drool:

If it's the "Premium Leather Sheath" I would prefer the nylon one myself.

Do you mount the Molle sheath on you belt? Or pocket carry?

My belt is wider than the allow gap for the strap.  I can see mounting to a tech vest, or bag with Molle system, just not onto a belt.  My suspender straps are to wide as well. 

The Molle sheath has me puzzled??

Thanks.  I did try that a bit, the sheath did not ride correct for my needs.  And also, suspected the material (small hole style) was to weak for everyday belt carry.
My ST300 rides in a large box sheath and does not have any issues. My Wave rides in a Ozark molded sheath instead of the premier leather or nylon sheath. 
A Surge being heavier, I would not want it loose in its sheath.

I second that... what I think Steve means is identical to the one below that I use for my ST 300 VX but I don't have pics of it with the Surge in it. Fits like a glove with the bit card and extra file in the tool slot and has side webbing for small things.

Leatherman hasn't used real leather since the old style box sheaths although some of the early yellow logo sheaths are real leather. All since have been what's called bonded or reconstituted leather and are are far inferior in quality and durability IMO.

I have noticed however that the stretch pockets quickly lose much of their elasticity and objects may start falling out if too loose...

Is it the one that goes on the Phipps or the bit exchanger? I can't tell by the pic. It almost looks like it has been modified.
The one that goes on the Phillips Driver is called the Removable Bit Driver.
The one that goes in the Bit Driver is called the Bit Driver Extender.

The design is ok, but not great.

-The cutting edge is too short for how big the tool is. If the design followed the Juice proportions, we'd have a longer cutting edge. If it followed the design of the PST 2 or OUTU, we'd have a great cutting edge. The scissor handle that the spring lies against is wasted metal. Look at the PST2 scissors. they pivot at the base of one blade.
-The moving handle is too far away from the body of the tool. Open the scissors, and look how far away you have to put your thumb to operate the scissors. Check other MTs or SAKs. The moving handle is close to the body. On the Surge, my thumb does not reach the moving handle, if I hold the tool normally. I have to have it lower in my palm, to operate the scissors.

OK... those scissors are badass... imagine transplanting an enlarged version of that to a Surge :drool:

I don't have a major problem with the pivot distance nor with the thumb being too short, even with my medium sized hands. Cutting length yes, that is a tad limited...

I agree with Syncop8r.
The Surge scissors are very functional for me.  Have tested them Right and left handed, using thumb (top), or with index finger (bottom).
They are sharp and feel that they maybe the best scissors of any MT I have used.

PS: yes my paws are of the XL size, even sometimes XL gloves are small.  Flexible material works best, or stretch wet leather for good fit;)

I like the scissors on the Surge, too. They are very strong and the proportions of handle to cutting surface give excellent leverage for thicker materials. You can cut leather without issue. I doubt it would be as easy with the Juice.

And to solve the bit holder falling out of the sheath potential I wrap a rubber band around mine

Not exactly my first Surge, but really like this one. Got it recently as used. Love it when I receive one that well used but not abused. It has got the natural worn look to it. Tight places are still tight, places that's suppose to be loose are well seasoned. Definitely one of my favourite piece now.

  Problem about carrying a Surge, one about needs suspenders to carry the thing. :ahhh That's 2 ounces shy of a 1 pound MT pulling down & warping your belt.

  Still had version 1.0 Surge. There's no accidental breaking of these tools. Would like to send mine in to get the blade exchanger replaced, even if I had to pay for it, as the cover on the old version keeps sliding off. Doubt that Leatherman would do that. Still on the fence about the pliers as needle nose is good to have over the Rebar type.


  I keep hoping Leatherman will wake up from their comatose delirium and make a Charge-sized Mini-Surge. Same tools, only in a smaller, less heavy package.

I believe that the latest(last year or two) replaceable cutter head on the Surge/ST300 have coarser teeth than the fine toothed pliers on the slightly older ones. My 2017 Surge has very coarse(aggressive) teeth on the needle nose. I'm not 100℅ sure, but am fairly certain. :)

Absolutely. Proper fencing pliers are broad and maintain parallel jaws through the full range (at least the Gallagher brand ones my dad had on the farm did). I could have spent the 30 seconds going to the garage to get my blunt nosed pliers  :facepalm:

That cedar chest has a long way to go to be finished, but the bulk of the structural is done. Tomorrow is wood filler, sanding, profiling, and staining.

Since I recieved my Surge (around 6 months ago), it has been clipped to my pocket every single day. It’s my go to tool and I am never without it. The Surge has really impressed and I believe I have found the tool that will see years and years of carry and use. I used to be all about trying every tool and always carrying something different. I must admit, I have tried just about everything Leatherman has made and the Surge is the winner in my book.  :tu:

I have carried my Surge every day at work for the last 4-5 years I have had it. I can cut stuff, I can loosen or tighten screw stuff, I can file burrs, I can hold a nut or turn a bolt.

Well this is quite embarrassing but I’ll swallow my pride and ask. I am a saw guy over a file guy but I want to give the file a fair chance to prove itself in my Surge. I tried exchanging the saw for the file but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to change them. The blade exchanger has bested me. I cannot find any text online to explains it either. Can one of you fine ladies or gents please give me a step by step.

Use your nail to rotate the blade exchanger cover clockwise. Get it to the left of the bump of the cover.

That's a cool GIF. I think the nail nicks on the file/saw end and on the scissors are not required. LM could square off the file and make it a bit bigger and you'd still get it out just fine.
I store my file round the other way and I just use my thumb on the blade exchanger to deploy it. The scissors could be buttery smooth if LM polished the contact point with the spring, or you can fold it back and sand it yourself

You're right.
I'm a bit more cautious with the scissors though.
I don't want to push on the spring  too much.
And I don't want the freely swiveling part to spring-crash open  :angel:

Cedar chests are a great way to store memories! Very cool they were able to save that chest, as you don't see a lot of them anymore. The smell reminds me of how the quilts smelled at my grandmother's house so long ago. I probably lost money with the amount of time it took to rebuild that one, but I have a soft spot for cedar. Any excuse to cut/sand cedar is a good one. Absolutely love the smell of cedar. :)

Post by: captain spaulding on July 06, 2018, 06:02:57 PM
my Surge has always had a wobbly clip. After the first time it got caught on something the clip wobbled much worse and “drifted” to one side a lot more. Then I snapped it in half after I caught it on something and there is a piece on my Surge that has developed wobble now. It’s not the clip.
Title: Re: NEW Leatherman SURGE owners club.
Post by: gerleatherberman on July 06, 2018, 07:30:57 PM
The issue I have noted is the space between the handle and lower bolster. It is about 1/32" on mine. Doesn't seem like a lot, but the effect shows when the clip is used. The clip on mine moves about 3/8" side to side, but it doesn't seem to affect the usage for me.
Title: Re: NEW Leatherman SURGE owners club.
Post by: Syncop8r on July 06, 2018, 11:27:26 PM
Yep it's the space the clip goes into, there have been a few mods using shims of metal glued in or even magnets. I think Kev did one....  :think:

Thanks!  I love the bi-tone!  Are there any good sheaths that will hold the saws/files and the bit kit?  The one it comes with comes close but can't quite do it.

The weight is worth the functionality, I am glad I didn't concentrate too hard on that aspect.

Very nice! They are my favorite "nice knives" that I don't worry about abusing.

52100 is fun for the patina guys, but some people hate that and want it to look all pretty and polished all the time.

Ive taken mine to a hair whittling sharp mirror edge.  Which was fun to do, but not practical.  I have settled on 17 DPS with 22 Micro.  Seems to last a while, easy to touch up.... and it will cut!

Compression lock is one of my all time favorites right now.

Sorry dont want to derail the thread.

Thanks Poncho65!

Well after reading a lot about the Surge i see many people like the oho Knives but struggle to get the one they want out.
I read about rembering that the serrated is on the same side as the saw, or the plain is on the clip side. 
Well there is Something more simple.. the plain edge has a plain edge on top of the thumb hole, the serrated has indentations there.

Lanwolf,

I too, when searching for a Surge for the collection(so I could turn my regular SS Surge into a user), opted for the two-yone version. It is stunning to say the least. Nice choice, Lanwolf! :like:

Wspeed,
If you go for a Surge, the two-tone is probably the jewel of the finish options. The right finish on the right parts to make it aesthetically pleasing. :)

My SS Surge, still a fine looking beast, came with me to work. I alwayd enjoy having the Surge on my belt. Not counting weight, it is nearly perfect. :)

I wasn't put off by the weight nor the size.  I quite liked the feel on my belt.  I always knew it was there which was nice.  I'm sure you'll have more than enough things to test it on.  It sure it a lovely version thats for sure.

I have never owned SOG, but always wondered how they would be. But from Youtube and other reviews on SOG, I got impression that they might have some quality control issues, and also some tools in MT are not well made = files, screw drivers etc?

But interesting to see you have pinpointed on these points with SOG.  :iagree:

I am happy with my Surges and SWISSTOOLS and Gerber MP400 and 600 and Diesel. :tu:

I only just received it so I havent put it through its paces yet. I tend to be fairly hard on my tools, not through negligence or abuse but just the nature of what I need them for.

My big concern that jumps out are the non replaceable wire cutters; as the son of an electrician I learned that having a set of "good cutters" necessitates having an ancillary pair of "crappy cutters" so that your good ones dont get bunged up cutting stuff you shouldnt be. Obviously having two sets defeats the point of a multitool so I see my OCD preventing me from using them.

I know the leatherman warranty is good but does it extend to cutters?
Title: Re: NEW Leatherman SURGE owners club.

Keep in mind Mr Tim Leathermans favorite tool was the Charge without 154CM wire cutters and cuts thru nails while touring.  I saw recently the he's carrying the Charge TTi with 154CM cutters. 

I'd echo going ahead and giving them a proper work out, you maybe surprised. 

The new one lost the mini bit holder.  For some thats a good thing.  Also looses the scissors rubber handle nub.  The best thing is the bit exchanger.  Its a lot more secure now.  I had no real issues with my old one but there was some loose saw bits for some.  There were some handle changes and of course the 154CM cutters.

The old version to me is every bit as capable and LM will stand by should yours fail to perform as designed.   

Starts at 23 seconds in.  He says he done this 300 times.

I did sent in for a fix on an old surge but they sent me a new version instead. Love the new wire cutter, but miss the eyeglass screw, so this past Christmas, crack open the handle and swapped out the medium flat screwdriver with a wave eyeglass one.

Post by: LoopCutter on February 04, 2019, 02:19:48 PM
I was not aware that the original SURGE included the micro driver bit as does the WAVE.

To me, it does not make sense to have the small driver on the large tool, as it is more likely to allow the user to apply enough torque to strip the threads or the screw it self, even the bit in the WAVE can cause the same issues. 

I worked in the service industry for nearly 40 years and can tell you, that I encounter more damaged screw heads during repairs, due to the wrong size driver tip used for a screw type. This cause double the time to repair.

With the small screw head and the large handles of the Surge and even the Wave, I wonder how many glass frames were repaired verses damaged by the combination?

I agree with the Cutter of Loops above, perhaps more because it must be quite unwieldy using a large heavy tool to do precision work.

I wish LM had a small plastic or aluminium insert the same size as the flat bits for the eyeglass screw. You don't need anything bigger than that for such a small driver.
They could even build it into the bit card holder

And it is a perfect size for a MT

I had my doubts but after I tried that's my preferred EDC. When I know I'm going to need the whole kit I use the sheath with extra saw blades. phillip heads and stuff. But usually just the surge with the pocket clip.

I'm looking forward to those scissors to be perfectly honest - it's become a requirement of mine whether the day's carry is a modified Pro Scout, SURGE or otherwise :D

I just completed a job painting and rearranging my wife's office and figure I would have very easily used most all of a Surge's functions.

I'm simply waiting a short while longer as a new SURGE is slated to be my birthday gift - very exciting stuff! It's possibly my most eagerly awaited piece of new gear in years  :ahhh

Day 27.

Used the serrated blade to open a box of dog treats, and a box of candy for myself. Also fixed the towel rack with the small screwdriver. Broke the flat end--should have got one of my technician's screwdrivers. Thankfully, I've got a replacement in the Bit Kit.   I'm guessing THAT's why it's in there.  Gotta find it first, I had to swap with my Wave's. LM should sell these things in 5-packs.

I was thinking about that one, Ive got a side pocket in my work trousers that is the ideal size, im bound to pick one up eventually im sure anyway.

I nearly picked up a silver and black surge, its a really nice piece i love contrast on it. i think the silver will wear better though,  maybe i'll get some parts DLC once ive got over the newness of it and start taking it to bits, its inevitable!

Old surge part, fits perfectly but only in the middle, I chose to keep  Big flat and sacrifice the smaller flat, Big Flat has been really useful so far for tons of stuff. 

Now if i could just have a 1/2" chisel attachment  :whistle:

My New Surge is now perfect (for me)

(https://i.imgur.com/bR0vffw.jpg)

Old surge part, fits perfectly but only in the middle, I chose to keep  Big flat and sacrifice the smaller flat, Big Flat has been really useful so far for tons of stuff. 

Now if i could just have a 1/2" chisel attachment  :whistle:
Nice Surge  :cheers:

Thanks for the Likes Guys  :)

 I was expecting it to be a bit more diffcult than just lining everything up but apart from being a bit fiddly it was a straight swap, everything working as it should .  A drop of silicone oil and happy days :)

The Surge really is a great tool.

Thanks to all for the warm welcome.
Ended up taking it apart to clean/re-lube. Turns out it was taken apart before and washers were lost. Ordered a kit that I should soon see. While I had it apart and with the polishing wheel calling out from the garage I decided to polish it some more.

Those BO Surges looks so good with wear on them.

Post by: Poncho65 on November 17, 2020, 01:42:31 AM
 :iagree: BO has a certain appeal to them that I just can't quite explain ???

With SS you just get scratches (which has a different kind of appeal) but with BO you get character :think: maybe that's why I :like: them so much :dunno: :D

I just bought my first New Style Surge. I wanted a BO one bad, but I just can’t get past the fact that the coating on the pliers has worn off on my Waves and Charges by simply opening them to slightly break them in. I like the worn in look, but that isn’t worn in. It’s just eaten away. Looks like garbage before you even put the tool to use. Rant over.
Title: Re: NEW Leatherman SURGE owners club.
Post by: McStitchy on November 21, 2020, 09:39:58 AM
That is totally normal due to the way the Surge, Wave or others are designed. Where surfaces touch/rub each other the surface will be "polished".
BO is much better than any coating because it is happening within the actual metal surface. Still, it will polish/rub away.
Lots of people like that used look especially, including myself  :D
It's the same with Victorinox btw, but I think the Leatherman BO looks better and more even.
Still, it will get that beautiful used look when used  :pok:

To answer your question, yes, someone has done this. I can't remember who did it or where it was posted but it's on the forum somewhere...

After watching Ben from TXToolCrib's video about a couple of options for holding the eyeglass screwdriver from the Leatherman Bit Kit, here is another option:

Drill a 1.2mm hole in the end of the bit kit holder, I drilled all the way through to the last large bit:

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/ACtC-3dQVugusaPhTQfD8A8Ah8UK_MkYn8LG76cIR9Ua-W0iHe9S856bqqQtFyuas8ucrGtrH-xsQDGRRCljzffJ0ROXeFQS5_Vj4C3119HUMXmSaAwWNLZiDnaZlg0fp4kBSFHM4MlrifqpKw8F2McemyXIHw=w2030-h1263-no?authuser=0)

Use your pliers to insert the bit into the hole, it will be snug

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/ACtC-3eLEDKGoiHlYxlocfVfYM89ON00xM2I-FE0rcthZu_LRLx4krVhNAgsrNQQRNIySRup_ulu2k6NW1jNw-PrZ7ztu8jR2XZfebm0R3UgVHGT84Yup6OoMkrqXMxAhx1GIitfL-ojytDKjlTax10JadYSkg=w2108-h1263-no?authuser=0)

Use your bit kit as the handle of your mini screwdriver

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/ACtC-3fT31CG7o1D1U1-pi_taXFnsMNHV9k28a07q0390D7hK0fAY1Yf2nkOpJaffG_oIgeDZdRnSkhShEBUN3OA6Gvy4sqvpbbXVx4sz0vatuzj3GrOWP8WXkhKe47Vi5Zy6ANqeYHtP7gHmtlpdwN2gAlZLg=w2560-h1107-no?authuser=0)

Hopefully it works well for you  :cheers:

Leatherman could mould a proper hex hole into the plastic to fit the bit perfectly. No need for adapter bits or the dedicated driver taking up tool space if you're happy to carry the bit kit and not have a lanyard on it.

I thought about heating the bit and melting the hole in there, but I figured the chance of screwing it up were higher, and potentially ruining the temper not worth it.

I always have one of the bit kits in my sheath that has the removable bit adapter (keeps me versatile with a bit driver and the square Phillips :cheers: ) but I don't always have the small eyeglass driver on a MT, this will add to the versatility for when I don't have one :tu:

What do you mean about the removable bit adapter? The Bit Extender?

*EDIT* you mean the short bit adapter, I believe

The Removable bit adapter that fits the square shank of the regular Phillips drivers that turn them into a bit driver that will take both 1/4 inch buts and the LM flat bits :cheers: I will snap a pic of my bit kit later if I think :cheers:

I’ve seen several posts regarding EDC (and I mean that literally, not in the oft used, EDC = in a rotation) of the Surge, bit extender, and Streamlight MicroStream.  Here’s another vote for that set-up.  I have carried that combo for about a year now, and I can consider no better all-around package to deal with anything you may encounter that doesn’t require a toolbox.

Post by: Poncho65 on May 10, 2021, 01:09:14 PM
It is a great combo for sure :cheers: If I carry one of the heavier tools I guess I still prefer the Supertool 300 over the Surge :think: I do carry a Surge some still though, myself :tu:
