THE Surgeon
My thoughts and use of the new leatherman surge.
I Got a review going to Handel the facts this is just my bs thoughts.

I like this tool it may be to big but his strength makes up for his weight problem.
I haven't been carrying my normal large folding knife because the Dr is a great cutter there really isn't a reason to carry one
Also my saks are getting some more pocket time :climber: the Surge and a sak work great together.

How long this topic will last I don't know. I'm going to keep bringing the Surge to work until I break it or I want\need to switch up different tools.
I won't be carrying him after work I'll be working with my other tools and toys.
This topic Won't be about anything that doesn't relate to the Surge it's accessories and there use. I got so many other topics here to take part in :)
Here goes nothing

Dr Zoidberg asked in my review about the scissors and how I was getting along with them
We'll Doc they took the micra/es4 out of my work carry that'd got to tell you alot.
I'm getting along with them very well. It's nice to have one hand opening scissors. They have come in handy a few times already.
they have worked great for everything I've cut with him. Plastic clamp packs, light wire, cardboard, snacks, tape etc

Thanks mate...this is going to be an interesting thread.
BTW, does uneven BO finish bug you?
It drives me mental that one of the bottom solid S/S inserts at the bottom of the scales is almost silver S/S while the other 3 are all deep black.
How could this pass the QC? I know for the fact that although most of the Surge's parts are manufactured in Asia and the consistency of finishes has been hit-and-miss in recent years in general, the tools are actually put together by LM US employees in Oregon.

Mine was coated well to begin with but the finish wore off the bolster fast.
It's got to be there trying to use black oxide on aluminum when aluminum should be ionized.
I'm no expert on coating metal but you would think they would use something that wears better.
And to answer your question yes it bugs me.
-
I've owned just about every type of Leatherman over the years and in my view as a " Work Tool " all the others are just pretenders .
The Surge is the " one stop shop " of Multitools .
There only problem with it and you have have already touched on it , is that it really does make your other folders redundant . :)

Thanks, I didn't know the bottom stops are Aluminum-made, for some reason I alwats thought those are made of solid pieces of S/S.
That explains the finish wearing off, though. What's a little confusing in my case is that the other 3 are actually good and come with even black finish.
Oh well, never mind, the rest of my BO Surge is getting that worn-off patinaed look slowly so it doesn't really matter.
Cheers.

I would probably really like the Surge if it wasn't so large/heavy. I like the outside scissors.

I agree, or at least some version in the 4" size,
-
Yeah a more compact 4" package with the same Surge set arrangement would be a killer product.
But Leatherman will be looking at this from purely business perspective and try avoid affecting their current Wave/Charge/Surge product line, avoid 'killing its own children' so to speak.
There has to be a clear differentiator and perceived benefits from the customer point of view between their 4" (medium) and 4.5" (heavy duty) products.

Nice one buddy. :tu:

Joel,you say your SAKs are getting more pocket time(never a bad thing :tu:) but which SAKs and why? When you were using Mr Blunt I could see where a SAK would be a great complement,but I curious what needs to complement a Surge?

I'm carrying a electrician. I use it for clean jobs . It replaced my one hand folder with it.
I think it's smaller blades complement the Surge well.
The Surgeon is a excellent cutter.

After I got ground plastic down I installed a few water meters with the surgical staff's help of course.

Good to see him earning his keep. :tu:

I cut down about a half a dozen spruce trees with the Surgeon's factory saw blade and it works very well . It made east work of cutting the sticky sappy tree's down
It was also easy to clean up

I'm really getting along great with this tool.
It's become a fast favorite.
It had a good size and tool set for what I use my multitool for.

Glad to hear you're enjoying it Joel :tu: How is the size of the saw/file compared to the Wave or other tools you've used?

The Surge is far from an ideal tool for me, and one I've never been tempted to own. Too big and too heavy, and tools I don't have enough call for day to day, but I can really see how this could be an ideal tool for you in your job, Joel. :cheers:
I know I can be a little harsh on Leatherman at times :P and have had several gripes with many of their offerings, but these heavy duty tools are where the company really shines. The Gerbers I carry so regularly which confine my LMs to so much drawer time, are great for what I face in my daily routines and for me outshine Leatherman's offerings, but I'd certainly move a lot more towards LM (and my Vic Swisstool) if I was facing your daily grind :salute:

The Surge may be large and heavy for an occasional user and those after a tool to EDC, but there really isn't a multi tool that belongs to heavy duty group which can better the "mighty Surge", IMO ;)
-

Why that?
I do carry it as my EDC - sometimes changing it out with the OHT, which isn´t so much smaller or lighter, too. Works like a charm, nothing to complain.
I wouldn´t even mention Gerber in the same sentence with the mighty Surge. :D

You don't consider yourself as an "occasional user" do you? :D
Surge is massive for most to carry around every day, except for some of us who are really into it or people like Joel who actually uses it every day at work.
I have two Surges, S/S and BO. S/S is in my Skinth XL and it's part of a dedicated 'toolbox in a sheath' solution I use around the home and garage.
BO I take with me on multi-day camping and trekking, it's the only LM I trust when away from home for more than 2 days. Otherwise Wave, Rebar and Skeletool are picked on shorter outdoor advantures and as EDC.
That's me, others may differ of course.
Cheers :salute:
-
You don't consider yourself as an "occasional user" do you? :D
Sure i do. :D
While i carry a MT with me nearly all the time, i only use it as a "small and always available tool backup", for the small tasks i´m to lazy to go and get "real" tools.
My usual EDC around each day is the OHT, but atm that is stored away partly disassembled as i´m still looking for bigger BO parts (saw and serrated blade) to upgrade it. So i carry my Surge as EDC atm. Usually the Surge is my EDC for the days i work in or around the house/garden or at friends places. Under the line both get 50/50 of the carrying time.
The Skeletool gets carrying time only when i have to be dressed up (office/meeting, other places i want to be low profile).
The Gerber 600 is only used when i need a tool to loan to someone, that way i don´t feel bad when a damage happens. And if i maybe need a MT in a extreme muddy or otherwise bad environment - then i will choose the 600, too.
The few other MTs i have are not worth to mention as i don´t use them considerable.

Have I ever said that I like leatherman's replaceable cutters.
They do really cut better than any other tools cutters I've used.

Someone is slowly being converted over to the Dark side...LOL!
Your commentary and good vibes directed towards the LM Surge were to be expected, though ;)
It's a heck of a tool, hard to be faulted.
-
Joel, I'm left handed, I love my ST300 and while I've been very interested in the Surge, I haven't bought one because I'm a lefty. Do you have any feel for how the Surge work for someone like me? I have never been able to handle one, only look at pictures so it's really hard to know.

FWIW I have no issues using the Surge because I'm left handed. :tu:
-
Yup, no issue at all, you just toss it to other hand when you need the tool located on the "wrong" side, open it and toss it back to the hand you started from.
Now...after re-reading what I just wrote I really feel like a to$$er ::)

No. :twak:
For the off side tools.
To open, push it up with index finger and finish with thumb.
To close, push liner lock with middle finger and push with index finger to detent then finish with thumb.
Nothing to it.

I heard they've been running training for contortionists down South Island...you seem to excel in it, keep it up you're doing well. :pok:
Of course it can be opened with one hand, all four external tools. The question is - does it feel as comfortable? No it doesn't. It can actually be painful depending on grip.
Horses for courses...I prefer the 'tosser' approach...bite me :D
-

Indeed i find it quite comfortable - at least at a MT the size of the Beast, where you have "something in your hand" - OHT works also fine that way, not sure about much smaller oh MTs.

I think it's easy to use with your right or left hand.

I guess I lied when I said this would be the only one hand opening knife I would carry on me.
I got my dyad Jr in my pocket today. :whistle:
What I can say is that the Surgeon's blades have replaced my large folding knife I normally would carry. It's has been up to ever cutting chore I've used it for.

I just gave the bit holder and extension a test on some rusty Phillips screws. I could only remove 2 out of 3 with the Surge using all my strength the 3rd I broke off.
If the bit driver or extension were going to break under force it would have happened today.
I'm pretty impressed that it didn't break it. I've broken regular tools doing similar things. The bit holder and extension get a :tu:

I had a hard time opening the saw today and I had to pry it up with a key.
I'm not sure what was sticking .
I just hope it doesn't become a issue.

Looking at the photo straight above, a saw could benefit from a short spray of a WD40, maybe?

Its just a little sawdust and pocket lint. It could use a good cleaning though by the looks of it.
The one thing I truly hate about outside opening tools is there a dirt magnet.

At least he had a good reason. The only reason really that I can think of not to switch.
-
He does the same kind of work as you do, JA. He couldn't be happier with the ST300. The only upgrade he wants is the bit adapter for 1/4" nuts and a hammer for light tapping.
He says if he use Surge he would spend half of his time cleaning it LOL.
-
From carrying my wave in my pocket to the surge in a sheath definitely cuts down dust/dirt/lint etc but I also have compressed air at disposal when at work so makes it very quick and easy to keep clean.

Yup, Surge isn't a pocket darling and should be worn in a sheath, pouch or a Skinth of sort. That way it would not only be easier to carry but remain much cleaner overall, IMO.
Cheers.

It is not pocket time that is a problem, it is when it is being use. ST300 enclose itself like the box when used to keep dust/dirt/lint out.

I used the pliers to bend and break off the other side of the metal strip I cut to remove the wheels axel,
I also opened a new stove and the fridge with the good doctor's plane edge blade removing lots of tape and stickers and unbolting the fudge and stove from there pallet frames with the pliers.
Sorry no pics I was to busy.

side by side would you go for the Surge or ST300 at this point?

Yeah. I enjoy Joel's looks at the daily usage, but I especially like the comparisons. E.g., previously ST300 vs. Swisstool, and Rebar vs. Swisstool Spirit. We each come to our own opinions on this stuff, but Joel's is authoritative and persuasive based on what he does for a living and his daily usage of his MTs.
I agree with Mr. Babola about how the black oxide is wearing and how it looks good. With guns, knives and MTs, I have always liked the look of a well-used tool. Most tools never reach the stage of being well-used unless they are giving the user some good service, so when you see a tool with some battle scars, it is usually a good one.

I can't honestly say until winter.
I got to drop the Surge in the snow a few times and see if it affects it.

ST300 vs Surge thoughts
1. The main difference to me is the Surge one hand opening blades vs ST300 closed box construction + - outside vs inside tools. Outside tools are easy to get at but inside tools stay cleaner and can be used with the handles open for leverage , more reace, or thinner tool.
2. Tool set differences. Bit driver vs Phillips that can hold a bit holder. I prefer the phillips it's a good tool in itself and it holds a bit holder than can take 1/4 bits. saw and file holder vs saw and file . I prefer the saw holder of the surge. It holds a t shank blade so I can chose what will work to cut what I need instead of only being able to cut what the ST300 could cut.
3. Scissors vs no scissors. I like a tool with scissors and the Surge scissors are almost as good as a micra. backup tool thoughts. normally i would carry a micra or like tool to back up my multitool the Surge really doesn't need a supporting tool as bad as the ST300 it's tool set is pretty complete. I still carry a sak orsomething but it's a want not a need.
4. How each tool feels to use . The Surge is wider than the ST300 at the Handel ends when the pliers are open . I got midsized hands to me the ST300 feels better to use "it fits my hand better"
Closed I prefer the feel of the Surge. The way the blades are positioned is better for me although I do like using the ST300 tools with the tool half opened something the Surge can't do with half it's tools .
5. Leatherman's 154cm replaceable cutters kick ass on both tools . I prefer the grip I can get on the ST300 to the Surge for cutting larger stuff.
6. Surge Pocket clip vs ST300 no clip hasn't been much of a issue since the clip that leatherman makes for it doesn't fit :facepalm:
7. Blades . The Surge's one hand opening large blades have replaced my edc folder. I haven't been carrying a oh folding knife on a clip in my pocket at work for awhile now. The Surge has easy handled all my cutting choirs.
8. Size. The Surgeon still feels huge. A awesome tool but just to big. Leatherman needs to come out with this tool in a smaller version. I really like the outside opening scissors a new tool on the charge platform with updated head would be excellent. Kampfer ' s mini surge is a example very similar to what I'd like to see made
I'd add pics and edit this post this evening so be please be patient

Good comparison Joel. I have been REALLY tempted by the Surge. But I love my ST300. I replaced the cartridges in the bathroom faucet today and the phillips screws holding the handles on were deeply recessed. The ST300 phillips driver had no problems at all with them. I don't think the Surge's bit driver would have been able to access them. I have used Super Tools since the first one and I have never been let down by one. This 300 addressed all the "I wishes" I had about Super Tools. As far as scissors go, I carry a Micra and find it an excellent tool. I just can't justify the cost of the Surge and I find I run into situations where the 300 just does the job better for me. But I still like the Surge, just won't be buying one.

Great insights, JA :tu:

Great thoughts on the comparison in your experiences between Surge and ST300 :tu: I would definitely go with the ST300 myself, primarily due to the considerable weight difference.

I'd add the pics and a few more thoughts tomorrow.
Sorry

To be completely honest. I don't understand anyone saying the surge is to heavy or to big. To me, it seems perfect. No issues with weight. But of coarse that's my opinion :-)

I currently own both ST300 and Surge in BO and SS (as well as EOD for the ST300). They are great tools. It really comes down to three things for me: weight, tools, accessories.
Weight: ST300 is lighter but if you can handle the weight, the Surge has more options. If you don't need those options, the weight and form factor on the ST300 are excellent for it's size and capabilities.
Tools: ST300 has a nice well rounded fixed set, Surge needs accessories for maximum damage. If you can get by without scissors in your MT and don't regularly need the optional accessories or OHO tools, ST300 wins. Surge takes it hands down for sheer versatility and customizable loadout without needing to mod. Plus those scissors are beastly!
Accessories: this plays into the first two but is it's own point because the weight and form factor of each tools potential add-ons should be considered when looking at your overall kit and approach. If you pair the ST300 with a good SAK and knife and you have most of your bases covered, whereas the Surge is it's own SAK and you can add/remove some components to improve/modify what you have available.
A bit wordy, but just how I see the two tool styles. Similar arguments can be made for Wave/Charge vs Rebar etc.
-
Just get both... :pok:

I think we both understand the MTo mentality JA :D.
I know I have many tools in my collection that were bought because of it :tu:.

My ST300 or my Surge, it doesn't bother me which one comes with. ;) :P

Surge on my brothers and sisters Surge on
:viking:
-
Seriously I really like this tool.
I've used all its functions some of them quite a few times except the can opener and im very pleased with it.
It does suck that the tool I am using has flaws but they haven't made any difference in how good the Surge has been working out for me.
I think I am going to have to find a deal on a Ss surge for a backup.
I'd be lost without the surgical staff . I've got to used to having them all around.

Haha, I wouldn't say I threw away the Flik money ;) The Surge would indeed be a good quality purchase I'm sure, but considering the prices I'm seeing are in the $85-$100+ range, I don't think that will be happening anytime soon, especially for a tool that I may not even be able to carry :think:

The Surgeon was ridding on my belt all day and I didn't use him once.
I was clearing trees and brush off a job site il be installing a new home on.
I used my tomahawk a bunch so it wasn't to bad of a day.

The plane edge blade is so lose it might be unsafe.

Sucks. I'll try get it in the mail this week

That's a bummer Joel. At least you should have a nice, tight blade when LM sends it back. I'm sure that will feel much nicer to handle :tu:

I hope so
I can't give this tool the review it deserves knowing that mine is flawed
-
That really sucks JA. Hope you get it sorted and start using it again soon.
The first thing I checked when I got my surge was for that blade play and there is none at all. I hope it stays this way. Rossko.
-
What are you going to use while the Surge is off getting fixed?
-
I bet that they would fix or replace it in a couple of weeks. During the interim, you could use a Classic SD. Its pretty much the same thing as a Surge.

Noodle crack carried that one though so you may want to politely decline his offer. :D

The generous owner of this tool is swapping me a flawless ss surge for this black one. It should be here Friday.
I carried my Bo rebar today. I just got it back from leatherman and I had to use it. I've missed it. Nice and light.

We have a new Dr on staff.
The new Surgeon doesn't have a shake in him.
We can't have blades wobbling around when we're operating.
A big Thanks to the interesting fellow who like to see his tools used a little . :cheers:
thanks again man.
The flawless stainless surge will make this review alot more fun for me.

That's great Joel. You can't have a shaky Doc when those surgical cuts are necessary ;)

I didn't get any pics taken and now it's dark.
I got busy working on a few things I need to do before winter .
I'm going to sharpen the smurf out of the Dr tonight and work on my work edc. Hopefully I can get a decent inside pic or two.

I used my black oxide Rebar I just got back from repairs for the days I put down the surge.
I like the Surge in ss. It's a change . Hopefully it don't rust up on me to easily.
It will be interesting to see how it looks in six months or so.

I just tool a black sharpie to all the spots showing wear on the leather sheath I've been carrying the Surge's in and it looks way better.
It got wore looking very fast. Glad I did something to it.
I bet shoe polish would have worked better

At shops that sell leather working stuff, or maybe online, 'Tandy leather company' you can get leather stain, 1 small bottle will last close to a lifetime.+ touching up belts, wallets etc :D

I've done the Sharpie trick too, JA. I used to carry a Buck 110 in a belt sheath, and cut the flap off to make it a drop-in holster. The Sharpie took care of the "wound" nicely.

Heres a link to that stain man, just scuff up with scotch brite or fine sand paper, just to take off the layer of clear coat on your sheath. And don't forget to get some finish coat\ shene or maybe an all in one stain and finish. It looks like ' mad plumbarian' knows alot about leather work, maybe ask him for some pointers :D

I was putting in a light fixture today working above my head and the bit I was using fell out of the hit holder twice.
I also managed to open the plane edge blade while I was using the Surge as a screwdriver and the tool was closed.
I'm not sure if it was a fluke or not but still unsafe
-
I never had to happen before. But if the insides are being used, they do not lock the outside blades and tools. Only when the pliers are deployed.

I never opened anything on the wave i used to edc back in the day.
if it starts happening often il quit edcing it.
Mini rant :mn:
I wish i had time for more pics lately but I have been busy.
there's a serious lack of in action pics and use updates.

Thought s
I have been using the Surge for just about everything.
It's been a good worker so far. He still feels big in hand. A sak is this tools best friend. It's large one hand opening blades are the wrong tool for some of the jobs I do .
-
I feel what you are saying Joel. Sometimes it is better to have a smaller blade.
That's why I carry my Dragonfly 2 in addition to a Millie.

Somebody send this man a surge so we can have some surge and 50 cal action
I approve this request. :gimme:

Way to slow firing rate. :D

Has anyone filled in the leatherman stamp on the handle with paint? I think it looks better!

Some of us did.

The scissors in the new surge are my favorite out of all the multitools I've used.

I find it odd that I prefer this tool in stainless.
Why i don't know. I always seem to prefer black.
It just looks so good

Just think how awesome the surge would look with the BDAMMO treatment :D I still can't get over his wave
-
I don´t agree on these statements. :o
A wave is a pocket queen - it may be shiny and still being usefull when needed. Polishing this is a great idea.
But a Surge is a mans tool - made for hard work, not needing any bling pimping to be awesome.

Looks awesome to me :D
-
It does look sweet when its been wiped free of finger prints and is sitting on a desk. But when a workin' man like JA uses it all day to rip out water heaters or whatever, it might look pretty nasty pretty quickly. It does look awesome, though!

Finger prints would drive you crazy I guess.

That, plus JA's Cheetos dust, drywall debris, squirrel blood and axle grease.

If this is your first Surge you're in for a very nice surprise, it's big and heavy but certainly one of a kind :tu:

What?! Surge can have bling and look good or make them look more bad ass. Just add a little paint and put a toad on top, and you got one sweet looking Surge.
;D

I wouldn't have thought I have especially big hands, but my Wenger Ranger feels the right size despite everyone saying it's huge, also I handled a couple of Waves (old and new) recently and they felt a bit small, although heavier than I thought they would be.
So I'm imagining the Surge will feel the right size but too heavy!

Nah, you will be alright.

Surge's can be a bit of an acquired taste. But they're worth every ounce >:D.

Revell - those small enamels for modelbuilding. But each enamel should work (acrylics too, but not sure how they last when the tool is really used).
Painting the indentions, then wiping above the surface with a soft cloth. If needed, let it dry and repeat.

Good ol Somers. The country down there is so nice.
I've got a couple kid friendly missions planned for around Oxford and then for myself I want to do the Mt Torlesse - Castle Peak - Foggy Peak - Porters Pass loop.

That sounds like one of the places I was thinking of for Show Weekend. That or somewhere in Arthurs Pass.
Wharfedale is pretty kid-friendly, coming back over Mt Oxford not so.

The cutters on the surge are great but some wire still takes two cuts to get through.

Yay more pictures of the Doctor hard at work.
I have a Air Impact Gun at the house that you have to do the some thing to get sockets off. Belonged to my Father and Grandfather before him so I suppose it can be forgiven.

We've got one like that and it's more than mildly irritating. Last time I was using it was round our digester in some fairly awkward places and the socket was constantly falling off in to a puddle of smurf. I'm not entirely sure why my boss didn't bring the newer one which isn't broken, is faster, quieter, smaller, lighter, produces more torque, uses less air...

The new tools are not for the likes of you.
New tolls are for the boss. :twak:

I had to reuse the fitting that hooks to the tank because I forgot to bring a new one. The good doctor cut through the crimp easy but it cut better with a jig saw blade than with the saw on the file. I'm glad I edc a few different types of blades for the saw holder.

I've been thinking more about my next tool I plan on reviewing.
I've decided I'm going to try a swisstool again. I bent the last one I took to work. It maybe shouldn't have bent but I might have been prying to hard so it's kinda user error on my part.
after some serious thinking I should give the tool a second chance.
-
I would be interested to see a Swisstool review Joel :tu:

I'd totally be into the Swisstool as well.
JA, do you dig more the look of the BO or stainless Surge? They both look sweet. Right now I'm liking the look of the stainless, but I go back and forth.

Yeah since I am still fighting the temptation to buy one of these I am going to have to say I forbid this.
Maybe a nice Wave or Swisschamp review would be ok since I already own or have them on the way.

A few times a year Amazon usually has the spirit x on sale for $50 which is a great price. Keep watching and checking there if you want to get a new one for a good price.

You will have plenty of time to save up for one. I'm not going to change tools until I can give the surge some extreme cold weather testing. Maybe until spring maybe

They have already begun.
The Surgeon gets packed full of snow easy but has not frozen up on me.

:cheers:
It's snowed here a couple of times over the weekend it hasn't stayed or been enough to pack my Surge with. I'd have had to scrape the whole lawn to get close.

Surge complaint
I haven't been wearing a sheath and carrying the surge in my coat pocket.
He's a crap magnet the outside opening blade get filled with pocket debris and feel gritty to open. They do always open though. No matter how my gravely crap is stuck in there they open :tu:
-
People prolly ask you all the time now.
"Is that a Surge in your pocket or are you happy to see me?" :whistle:
-
The only downside of outside opening tools. Be it a Surge, Swisstool or Flik, they are crude catchers. Good thing is, nothing a air or water hose and a can WD40 can't fix.

Bromide.
Ask them to increase the dose in your tea.

Bromide.
Ask them to increase the dose in your tea.
I have been here since June.
I could prolly do straight Bromide in an IV and not notice. :facepalm:

I've been finishing up installation of a new home.
Hooking up utilities, cleaning up and skirting the home.
The ground is frozen so it was slow going getting the house skirted.

I'm going to put this review on hold for now and let the army edition of the little boy review have 100% of everyone's "including my" attention.
I'm still going to take the surgeon to work and I'll let you all know of I have any serious updates.
Thanks for following this review so far
