Title: The SURGEon
Post by: JAfromMn on September 08, 2014, 01:37:12 AM
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.
(http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc421/JAfromMn/Mobile%20Uploads/20140904_114108_zps818a8446.jpg) (http://s1211.photobucket.com/user/JAfromMn/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20140904_114108_zps818a8446.jpg.html)


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 agree, or at least some version in the 4" size,
Title: Re: The SURGEon
Post by: babola on September 08, 2014, 05:12:30 AM
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.

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.

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

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:

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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:

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.

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.

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.

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

Post by: BobG on September 21, 2014, 01:44:20 AM
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.

Post by: Toolslinger on September 23, 2014, 07:44:48 PM
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.

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.

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:

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.

You know Kyle/Monrogue is reading this and agonizing whether to get one or not...you bad boy.  >:D

Yes, Joel is very good at selling these tools he reviews.  He is quite the enabler, even if it isn't always intentional ;)

I really don't try man.


I also think if you got money to throw away on a flick you got cash for a quality investment like a Leatherman Surge  >:D

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:

I was just giving you some smurf.  :pok:

when you need one you'll get one.

There a spendy tool. I'm using a loner myself.

Oh I assumed you were, so no worries ;)  Ha, I think "need" is something I can't claim anymore at this point considering all that I have >:D

The Surgeon is a hell of a cutter.


Power wire is no problem

he does Handel the little stuff too. I need to use care though not to cut and just strip phone line.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.
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!

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.

Wharfedale is pretty kid-friendly, coming back over Mt Oxford not so.

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...

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'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.

I've been thinking more about my next tool I plan on reviewing.

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.

I have two things to say about your post.

One. You Sir are not helping.  :twak:

Two. Less posting on MTO, more making sweet Alox knives so you can get around to making mine.  :pok:

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
 I'm so not sure how long Im going to let this review last.

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.

Hooking up utilities,  cleaning up and skirting the home.

The ground is frozen so it was slow going getting the house skirted.

(http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc421/JAfromMn/Mobile%20Uploads/20141113_162349_zpsaa9ae5b7.jpg) (http://s1211.photobucket.com/user/JAfromMn/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20141113_162349_zpsaa9ae5b7.jpg.html)

The good doctor cut lots of foam + hard plastic it striped the wires for the water meter remote, opened all the packaging , screwed in a few screws hanging a gas line with the bit extension+ 1/4 torxs bit, making starting holes for the saw into the hard plastic, its saw to make a few slots for wires in the skirting etc etc.



most of the pics I took didn't turn out .sorry it was to cold and damp

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
