  • Great multi-tool, my second. Newest model received, from The Outdoor People.
Style: Black
Another fine Leatherman product. This is my second Leatherman Multi-Tool and feel I can't live without one, just as much as needing a cell phone. Basically I am a handyman by trade and although I think this Surge is a great tool, I find I use my new model Super Tool 300 most often because the file and saw are better than on the Surge. I will review this product according to my top questions relating to my research/purchase: model, purchase date, seller/price, specs, quality/personal uses. Model: Leatherman Surge Black Oxide with Molly Sheath I received the newest model with the replaceable cutter blades, which was a concern for me, as well as many others.' Purchased from The Outdoor People, fulfilled by Amazon. Update 11-2014: Beware! I was updating my review and I noticed the seller name on my digital Amazon invoice has changed as well the product picture. I find it very irritating that Amazon compiles reviews as a whole and it makes it hard for consumers to completely rely on and properly use reviews. Manufacture date: I found two manufacturing dates on the handles 1113, 1213. Purchase Date: I purchased it Friday 8-22-2014; received it Monday 8-25-14 with Amazon Prime. Seller: The Outdoor People. I can't find that seller currently on Amazon as of 11-2014. Price: $104.13. Specs/Tools: *Knife *Serrated knife *Large scissors *Exchangeable saw/diamond/wood/metal file *1/8 in #2 slotted screwdriver *5/16 in #8-#10 slotted screwdriver *Awl *Can/bottle opener/wire stripper *Exchangeable bit adapter: with #1 Phillips & 3/16 #2 slotted bit *Needle nose/regular pliers *Replaceable carbide combination wire/hard wire cutters *2nd non-replaceable combination stranded wire cutter/crimper (bottom of pliers) *ALL tools with easy to use locks *Stamped metric and English rulers on the handles. *Options to purchase pocket clip, lanyard ring, bit sets, home modified bits, saws and maybe other items (see you tube). SIZE COMPARISONS: Size: Super Tool Closed: 4-1/5in long x 1-1/4in wide x 5/8in thick. Open: 7in long. 3in knife, 2-9/16in useable blade. 3in serrated knife, 2-1/2in useable blade. 3in saw, 2-1/2in useable teeth. 3in file, 2-9/16in useable face. 1-7/8in #2 Phillips, 3/16in wide x 1-7/16in hole reach. Micro slotted screwdriver is 1-1/4in long, 7/8in hole reach. #2 slotted screwdriver 3/16in wide x 1-5/8in long, 1-1/4 hole reach. Tool in leather case: 4-5/8in long x 2-3/4in wide x 1-1/2in thick. Weight: Amazon specs say 9.6oz, for the new current version (heavier). Size: Surge Closed: 4-7/16in long x 1-5/8in wide x 3/4in thick. Open: 7in long. 3in knife, 3in useable blade. 3-1/8in serrated knife, 3-1/8in useable blade. 3-3/16in saw, 2-1/2in useable teath. 3-3/16in file, 2-7/16in useable face. 3-1/8in scissors, 7/8in cutting blades. Tool in nylon molle case: with file and no bit kits: 4-7/8in long x 2in wide x 1-3/4in thick. Weight feels about 1/3 heavier. Amazon specs say 15.1oz. The whole tool is great but I feel the saw, replaceable wire cutters, file, long #2 Phillips and mini slotted screw driver are the most important, then the pliers and knives, etc. Usage Comparison: Original Super Tool: Likes: Used it everyday, lasted me 6.5yrs of use before needing service. Size. All tools close nicely inside the handles. Original leather case. Every tool. Dislikes: Not very comfortable when squeezing the pliers bare handed. Difficult tool locks with risk of cutting yourself. Ruler hard to use and know it's accurate. Needle nose pliers need better gripping teeth. Needle nose pliers could be sharper, longer. Non-replaceable wire cutters were the first thing to wear out. Surge Multi-Tool: Likes: Replaceable wire cutters. Replaceable saw and file. Possibility to adapt other saws, bits. Easy to use locks. Exchangeable bits. Rounded handles. Optional, easy to install pocket clip and lanyard ring. Dislikes: Black oxide finish. Could lose tool, filthy. Overall size and weight compared to original Super Tool with mostly the same tools. Missing longer/larger phillips #2 and long micro slotted screwdrivers. Ruler is harder to read/use. The pliers are in the way/middle but is identical in actual measurements to the Super Tool. Cases: I purchased the "black oxide" model to get the large molle case because according to every review I read Leatherman no longer makes an all leather case and the combo nylon/leather supposedly is too cheap. I can tightly fit the Surge in my original leather case but not with accessories. The Large Leatherman Molle Shealth has a variety of mounting options and is said to be the largest Leatherman case but, it is really big/gaudy but has a pocket for the extra file and saw. The large molle case can hold a 1in longer tool and still has 3/8in of extra room on the side of the tool. Case update: the large Leatherman molle case grew on me although I prefer my Leatherman Large Nylon case over all others I've tried. I had my old Super Tool replaced by Leatherman and received a new tool with a nylon sheath WHICH I like more than my other sheaths because it has elstic sides which conforms to the tool slimming the size of the case so it is smaller than my other molle sheathes, yet I can actually fit two fullsize Leatherman tools in it (I would never carry two) so it is just more versatile. I have an original Leatherman Leather case, a Leatherman large nylon case, a large Leatherman Molle case and a TYR Tactical larve Molle case. Color: With the black oxide finish, I worry about losing the tool at night and the oil and black oxide finish gets all over everything for a little while so I washed it down really good. Personal Use: I used to think knife and multi tool carriers were nerds and never carried or used mine for the first 7 years I owned my Original Super Tool but once I started carrying it I was hooked and think they are the best thing ever! I don't care how I look and can't get along without it. Saw: The second and last part I had wear out (before sending in for warranty) was the amazing saw which may have been my favorite tool. I used it on everything and it cut like a knife through butter so to speak and I even received multiple cuts from it. I tried to cut a fiberglass pipe about 3/4in diameter about 1/8in thick wall and it ruined the saw. It will still cut hard objects with quite a bit of effort but doesn't cut softer material very well. Why I bought a second Leatherman: I bought this new Surge because of the updates and options and to have one for the possible week turn around to warranty my original. Yes, I love them so much I could not wait a week for repair/replacement. Warranty: I sent in my original Leatherman Super Tool from 2000 because the saw and wire cutters were worn out and a few other tools on it were worn a bit. I received a brand new Super Tool in 1 week which I like better than my original. Changes: I would like to see more leverage and a larger capacity for the pliers. I am including a bunch of pictures of my old Super Tool and Surge for comparison. ... show more

  • No B.S. Multi-tool
Style: Black
I was very glad the item arrived a day earlier than expected. On opening the package, I was a little flustered to find it differently from the consistent 'black' look on the handle. I immediately scrutinized the blade, the needle-nose, saw, and screw tips for any sign of being used. I was relieved to find that there was no indication that it was used before: no scratches, tracemarks, worn edges, and it has sufficient resistance on opening/closing. The handles did appear to be a little worn, much like they were repeatedly wiped down to remove the black powder. There were a little left but I think it's ok. I bought a tool to be used, abused, and what not. I didn't buy a trophy for collection. The tool comes with a file that you can replace the sawblade with. The measuring rule on the inside of the grip appears to be a little to hard to read in low light conditions but easy enough in broad day light. The locking mechanism on the blades and screwbits worked like a charm. No excessive pushing/pulling needed. I think this is a good safety mechanism as the risk of being cut because the tool closed on your hand has been mitigated. I have been cut this way with my old SAK's. Be careful about the blades, as they are really sharp. This will nip you to your bone! This is no 'toy for the little boys'. Over-all, robust build, fits the hand perfectly, and I find the weight enough to balance itself as you use it. Both plain and serrated blades, can be opened in one hand (right hand). Lefties may find this difficult without an assisted opening. This tool also contains a precision flat-screw driver. Now I don't have to bring a separate prec. screw driver for my glasses as this tool truly is all I need for an EDC tool. I think the only thing missing on this is a hammer and it would be the perfect fundamental household tool. This is truly a no B.S. tool, built for purpose. If you plan on getting a Surge as a collector's item, stick to the stainless version. This anodized version is screaming to be used again and again. ... show more

  • Pinch, poke, stab, and (un)-screw!
Style: Black
That's right folks, with this single tool you can pinch things, poke things, stab things, and (un)-screw things. This amazing tool made by Leatherman is a must have in my daily arsenal of clever gadgets. You could rewire whole trailers and taillights with just this one tool! Think how cool you can be when a pretty girl is looking for someone to open her ice cold beer-from-south-of-Texas, just whip this puppy out of your handy belt pouch (opt for it, you will be glad you did), and on no time flat BAM, she's enjoying her beverage and your newly fascinating company. Since we are an all inclusive entity, ladies, that's right I said ladies, you need this too. Picture this, middle of the work day, it's hot, it's humid, and your bra wire is tunneling to China through your flesh. No problem! Whip out your Leather(wo)man, open the pinchy part, grab that wire and show it who's the boss in these parts! A simple purchase of this tool will help (un)screw your life. Pretty soon it will be easy street in your house with no loose nuts, bolts, or screws; you can rest assured that that spider is indeed dead because you were able to use Stab-Mode, also all the pinching will be done. All that's left is for you to enjoy your beverage of choice and enjoy a quiet evening, with Leatherman or Leather(wo)man attached to you at the hip. OHHHH I almost forgot, it's got like 2 knives, a little saw, and a pair of small scissors. So you can cut stuff as well. For real though, the scissors on this beast are amazing! The blades are also modular so you can. Replace them when needed without having to get a new tool! ... show more

  • Most Incredible Multi-Tool Ever
Style: Black
I got my first leatherman when I was about 14. Since then, one has been on my belt every day, all day. This is the fifth one I have owned since then. One was given to me and another was my Father's supertool that I bought for him in the 90s and was using until I bought this one. The others are still good. I am now 53 and deserve an upgrade. This Surge is far superior to all my others. I am thoroughly amazed. It seams to be a combo of my blast, wave and supertool plus much more. Everything from strength and stability to ease of use is incredibly improved. I would not have thought it was possible. When I opened the box, I couldn't believe how much better it was then I was expecting from the website. You truly have to hold it to fully appreciate it. Most incredible multi-tool EVER!!! ... show more

  • Serious Tool for Master Mechanics
Style: Black
(Note: This is the latest model Surge (2013) with the replacable wire cutters and improved saw/file connection despite that the picture shows the older model surge). Anyone who complains about stiffness and oil all over the tool don't realize this model multitool is a serious tool that must be protected during shipment and warehouse storage. To properly use this tool it needs to be broke in to loosen up and tolerances are very close, so the Surge is going to be stiff when new but will become easier with use. You will appreciate the close tolerances. If this bothers you along with the black oxide coating, look elsewhere for a different tool. This tool was made for serious mechanics and it fits the bill to a tee. I will not go into a review of the tool as their are many reviews here on Amazon and YouTube that go into painstakingly coverage of this. What I will say is the if you are looking for a fully functional tool for the seasoned master mechanic who demands the very best, this your tool. You will not be disappointed. Impeccable quality and construction are not apparent until you actually hold the tool in your hands. It screams quality and has a robust feel like no other tool you have ever used. It is heavy but worth the weight. But this only for the craftsman who uses their tool for hard work and difficult tasks, otherwise go for the wave, rebar or the super tool 300. Trust me, this the best you can get for serious work. ... show more

  • Great Upgrade but No Sheath
Style: Black
I got this Leatherman to upgrade my husband’s tool, and he loves it. The black color looks sharp and modern, and the tool feels sturdy and high-quality. It has all the functions he uses regularly and is easy to handle. The only downside is that it doesn’t come with a sheath, which would have made carrying it much more convenient. Overall, a solid upgrade and definitely worth considering if you don’t mind the missing sheath. ... show more

  • Overbuilt Awesomeness
Style: Black
I had previously owned a Supertool 300 EOD that I didn't use enough to justify keeping, so I gave it to a friend as a gift. The longer I went without it the more I missed it so I ordered one of these. Believe me when I say this is the last tool you'll ever need to buy. It's big, heavy, and built like a tank. It checks all the boxes for the basic tools you'd expect, but then adds on shear-like scissors, replaceable jigsaw/file blades, and Leatherman's great 1/4" bit driver tool. Definitely get the black version - the stainless looks great but the black will hold up better under wet conditions and looks better once it's been worn in a little. PROS: -Overbuilt -Hefty; will not break under stress -More tools included than you'll logically ever need -This version is oxidized in black, so almost impervious to rust CONS: -Weight; I wouldn't take this backpacking -Size (small hands need not apply) -Price; you can get a decent multitool for everyday carry for half this price from Leatherman or Gerber ... show more
