Get a Surge and a Supertool 300 so you can make a "Super Surge" (surge with replaceable cutters on the plier heads).
Once you've had some practice and solved any/all problems I can send mine too you for the mk II treatment
Hah!
I just bought a Kick and was going to swap the plier head into my Charge TTi, but I'm not brave enough!
I played with a Surge the other night... It's too heavy for my normal pocket carry, but nice in every other way.
I think my next overtime pay will be buying me one.
