I would have to disagree with you. The SURGE can fix eyeglasses, cut stranded wire in ONE cut, crimp WELL, cut thick wire with the reg. wire cutters in one cut, access tools with gloves on, and I could go on and on!
Just a shame that the weight of it means the owner can't actually move ey.
BTW, I am not a SwissTool hater.. The SURGE!! is just a superior MT!
The SwissTool doesn't have a proper crimper. It just mashes it together. Oh, and can you use big T shank blades on the SwissTool? Can you touch up the blade with the DIAMOND COATED FILE? Didn't think so! Does the SURGE'S philips driver head get deformed because its made of soft steel? Do the drivers slip because they are not properly ground. Oh, and do you lose a tool? Do you have to chose between scissors, serrated blades, and files? I don't think they so! BTW, I am not a SwissTool hater.. The SURGE!! is just a superior MT!One more thing: does the SwissTool file and saw go all the to the tip? Didn't think so!

Why on earth would you use a diamond FILE to sharpen the blade anyway , almost anyother material would be better As for the saw blade, the Swisstool's saw cut's on both the push and pull cut, is effectively self cleaning and due to the better ergonomics, you can use the ST for long periods without it chewing your hands to bit's In other word's although your a Surge man, maybe we don't all need to hear about it's 'superiority' in every thread mate.
I guess I got a little too carried away!
Indubitably! Isn't that a phenomenal word?
Here's another area where the Swisstool rules the Surge.It is so polished you can use it as a mirror!!LOL!!
