Leatherman Surge Complete Disassembly and Reassembly

[@DonnieTrandumIII]

Thank you so much. I have a doner tool that I found at a flee market and wanted to replace some of my broken tools on my Leatherman. I took it apart and could not figure it out. this video was alife saver thank you again look forward to other videos...

[@hiddeboner]

Thanks for your time showing us the full disassembly! Realy helped👍🏻

[@matthewarnold6794]

Awesome, thank you, I needed that. I found a Leatherman Surge, so I don't have the warranty, so I needed to know how to do that. It has 3 broken blades and is missing the screwdriver flip over tool, but buying the missing parts is way cheeper than buying a new Leatherman. You made my day.

[@realitypreferred7084]

Did you find it in NYC?

[@matthewarnold6794]

@@realitypreferred7084 No, I haven't been East of Utah in 5 years. I found it in my back yard. I thought it was buried under the concrete steps that we are replacing, but it was left by one of the demolition crew. I returned it to him today and told him about Leatherman's excellent warranty of which he was unaware.

[@realitypreferred7084]

@@matthewarnold6794 I asked because I had to "hide" my Surge outside of an event at Carnegie Hall last week because they were using the metal detector wand (which they never used on me) , and someone found it and decided they should keep it, instead. Just curious. Thanks. Kudos to you for returning it! I ordered a customized Charge with my name and phone number on it as a replacement.

[@hartzogLovesScience]

Thanks for the tutorial. I have an original Leatherman that is very stiff. So this will help me disassembling it, and lubricating it so it functions as new.

[@AshGreen359]

What size security torx bit do you need?

[@VladimirLadev]

Thank you sir. I really messed the position of the tools and washers on mine even hough I cleaned it at least 10 times now. All is well and in order and is smoooth as butter, as I use mine on a daily basis and it gets durty pretty quick.

[@gelartab]

Thanks for the video! I think if tools had washers in between each other too they would open and close much smoothly..

[@bijanshadnia3620]

This is the kind of detail I like. Subbed

[@Lithium023]

My surge didnt have those washers on the outside bits just the inside ones, i took it apart and wasnt sure were thry went exactly but luckily there was little round marks on the bit holders to show were those washers went. My surge also has a eye glasses bit which i didnt see on yours, that was the reason i stripped mine down because my eye glasses bit broke and was difficult to extract. Thanks for the vid🤙

[@makoygaara]

You have a Surge 1st generation. Surge 2nd gen on the video.

[@jialixx]

Thank you for sharing this. I am going to disassembe my all black and all silver ones, and reassemble a black-silver one and a silver-black one.

[@brogeno3631]

Thank you very much. Great video!! Exactly what I needed. I do landscaping so my tool gets stiff from dirt.

[@govindanchandran5326]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. Very informative & detailed video on disassembly & Assembly. I did similar things on my Leatherman Surge Tool & felt satisfied.😊

[@michaelb3383]

Thanks for sharing love leatherman products

[@imago888]

Thank you

[@Freddy-Da-Freeloadah]

Thanks! I was able to remove a broken serrated blade from my Wave. also I had a modified regular blade that I wanted to put on my new Curl. The blade on the Curl is too long & sharp, and probably would upset the Safety Manager where I work... I had modified the blade on my Wave to a Tonto like chisel, which I use a lot at work to disassemble dispensers. Anyways I was able to get everything back together! Thanks!!! IMHO

[@jkn2k]

Can I take out the pliers and use just the half of my surge ??

[@hityoutwo]

Very informative video! Would you put locktite on the pivot screws, or leave it off due to it free spinning?

[@fieteferrum3441]

The spring on my surge is super strong, I can't compress them enough, to reasamble the pliers.

[@Ralf-pi6zq]

Se me rompió la punta dela hoja filo liso de mi SURGE ,alguna idea de cómo la consigo,donde comprarla.Gracias.

[@fc436]

Hello very interesting video! My surge have only one steel washer in the internal tool on the side of bit holder and can opener... and 2 steel washer in the side of awl, large screwdriver and small screwdriver, like you. Than, on the jigsaw holder have 3 bronze washer, 2 on frame side and one on screw side. You have one and one. I think leatherman final assembly workers works with no clue. Or poor QC. In external tools i put one washer per side, and not 2 on one side and 0 on the other. The blades are more smooth and liner lock ingage a lot more solidly and tightly, becouse the blades are closer to the frame.

[@JustSomeAsianDude]

Thank you so much I thought I was going crazy repeatedly taking the tool apart and wondering why I have one copper liner left.

[@tommasofossati5123]

Mine has only 5 bronze washers, and one steel on the screedrivers side, and two steel washers on the bit side. Whats Happening?

[@whobutni]

Is it possible to replace the main 420c blade with another blade like the Charge TTI’s s30V? Are the sizes the same?

[@TheNomadUnicorn]

That lanyard clip was killing me I could not figure out where that piece went its unlisted and seemingly useless! :D

[@Rozboz-u4r]

my surge had 9 copper washers, and only 3 steel ones, one of the steel ones was thinner than the other two, my dog jumped on all the parts and I lost the order/placement of them, can someone help me out?

[@inhalefarts]

One of the top reviews on the Surge on Amazon is of a guy saying that "if you get the black, make sure to first take the whole thing apart to strip the paint from underneath the washers and lubricate the spots then reassemble". I guess I can see the coat being more likely than just bare stainless steen to get dirt in it and get gunky or something maybe? I don't know, how do you feel about that?

[@airsoftgunjk]

How do you remove the lever lock from the handle?

[@adrianjosephguevarra4452]

What is the torx size you use for the surge and what screwdriver kit did you use

[@revare]

It's a torx T10 security bit. Look for "torx TT10"

[@adrianjosephguevarra4452]

@@revare thanks

[@guggiuggi3687]

I accidentally dropped out the pin for the removable bit and can opener, and two washers came out with them, but one is much thinner than the other! Does anyone know where to put each one? I can't help but think there's a good reason why they're different thicknesses?

[@ste-c1218]

HELLO GUYS PLEASE ... PLEASE CAN YOU HELP ME... JUST BOUGHT A NEW SURGE... UT THE HANDLES DO NOT LINE UP EXACTLY WHEN THE TOOL IS CLOSED... IS THIS OK AND NORMAL PLEASE . ? ? ?

[@rage3550]

where to buy that dismantling tool...

[@mellomikeoftegridyfarms]

It's the Xiaomi x Wiha 24-in-1 Precision Screwdriver Set, but it's not really the best set you could use for this, it's a low torque cordless driver meant for electronics.

[@adrianjosephguevarra4452]

Mine the screw continue loosen every time I tighten it what can you recommend

[@VladimirLadev]

a small drop of thread lock, and I do mean small.

[@Jameshawk105]

I can't get the lanyard part to stay tight

[@michaelb3383]

Also do u have edc. Carry stuff other than leatherman like to know that

[@jeffong4140]

Thanks for the sharing 👊

[@javidelapenamerino2841]

Genial el video un saludo desde España ( valladolid)

[@adamthomas1222]

i knew you were malaysian just from the way you spoke haha... anyways, good video... but yeah, it's so hard to get anything here in malaysia, we only have 1 official distributer in malaysia and they're not really taking it seriously, like their shop is always out of stock and don't carry everything that letherman has to offer

[@alfonsobotello5463]

What torx size?

[@TevjaWeston]

t10 i think

[@revare]

It is a Torx TT10. Thats a T10 with a very small hole in the tip. This is a good picture of a torx security bit... www.lawsonproducts.com/Falcon-Tools/ScrewdriverInsert-Bit-TORX-Tamper-Resistant-TT10/FA5573.lpll

great video

Bro you hand same multi tool hand.

[@mehere6874]

"I... {wave hand} ... er ... {wavehand} ... um ... {wavehand} ... ". Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh! {Next video}

[@2011Rollsroyce]

I am pretty sure that taking this apart will Void the Warranty

[@fc436]

Absolutely NO. Leatherman warranty in Italy and Spain change my damages tool even if I disassembly. Ever. In USA is the same i think. Plus, aren't no seal or mark to understand that it has benn disassembly.

[@deansan4250]

Thank you, Captain Obvious. He said that like 5 times during the video.

[@mgtowanonymous3120]

*PLEASE DO THIS SAME VIDEO FOR CHARGE TTI!!!*

[@TurkeyCreekjackjohnson_]

Cool vid - I suppose

[@edwardfletcher7790]

The music is far too loud and distracting...

[@maximous9993]

Why not just soak the tool in alcohol without breaking it down? Blow out the alcohol and then put on penetrating gun oil. You are doing more than I do for a gun that I count my life on. Seems like a hobby but not necessary.

[@xlilnetx]

Did you not hear, it’s a video for people who can’t send it to leatherman and it’s a video for people who can get the parts and need to swap it out,even for modding. It’s a diy video bro. It’s in the title a disassembly video. Not a only way maintenance video 🤦

[@baroudeur50]

This tool would be great if the stainless steel was good quality.....unfortunately it rusts !!! A stainless steel of a marine quality would have been welcome....
