I had to re-upload it to correct some parts.

😍 Thank you!

Leatherman surge is a really great tool, I tested it on the war, It survived rain, mud, snow, and sh1tt, but still it works great.

[@Skater08cooper]

I had the surge for about two years but then it got stolen. Almost a year later I have another one coming in the mail, I don't know how I went a full year without it, this thing is a beast!

[@ultimateequipment23]

Ah too bad but so glad you got another one. Oh yes 🤟

[@mistersmith3986]

I just bought a used Leatherman Surge at a flee market on Saturday for $10.00. It has a broken can opener which I will replace. I cleaned any rust off the blades and soaked it in a jar of liquid WD-40 for two days to desolve much gummy crud that it had on it. I scrubbed it today, washed the residue off with liquid detergent and rinses well with hot water. I dried all the water off with the compressor and heat gun. It opens and closes 100% better now. I will oil all the moving parts today to make it smoother. Thanx for the video my Bladed Brother 👍 ⚔️ ✝️ 🇺🇲

[@ultimateequipment23]

That's an absolute win! 🤙😎🤟 Enjoy it!

[@danmcarthur8077]

I have a surge, a black out charge with the aluminum scales and 154cm main blade and a free P4. Surge lives in my house with a few additional bits, charge lives in my truck with the bit kit and the P4 is in my edc rotation. It’s either a p4 or a para 3. Great video, keep uploading!!

[@ultimateequipment23]

Hi Dan. Nice collection you have there 🤟. Thank you so much! Will do!

[@nhraandnascarfanatic5907]

I have a wingman in my junk drawer at home here, my 2 boys have a sidekick each and I have a surge for myself that I use for work, fishing, camping, working on vehicles.. you name it!! I honestly will not settle for anything smaller or lighter 👍👌

[@ultimateequipment23]

Excellent!

[@user-vr2tx4tt6b]

I just received my Surge back from Leatherman yesterday. I had broken the scissors, some inner tools were loose & saw blade was cracked. They replaced saw blade, scissors, tightened it all up n cleaned it. THANK YOU LEATHERMAN...EXCELLENT WARRANTY & SERVICE. I APPRECIATE IT IMMENSELY !

[@ultimateequipment23]

Nice one! Thanks for sharing. 👍

[@johnreed6856]

Love my surge! And leathermans warranty program is top notch

[@uiopuiop3472]

Really good quality video, one of the best production values I have seen in the multitool space

[@ultimateequipment23]

Thank you so much sir! It means so much 🤗

[@rogluka]

One of the best reviews out there!!! Amazing, calm, all the info I could ever need and I like your voice. I ussualy don't subscribe to this kind fo channels but yours is outstanding! Thank you sir!

Wow thank you so much Luka! You made my day 🤗

[@KraljCorvin]

This is actually a very well made, higly informative video. Thanks.

Nothing compares! They nailed it with this model. I own Supertool 300m Wave, Rebar.. thanks for the video well done.

[@ultimateequipment23]

Thank you so much man 🤟🤗

[@samphazm]

A great accompaniment to my Surge is the DeWalt DT2074QZ Jigsaw Blade for Wood. It fits snuggly in back the fabric pouch too. Great video!

[@ultimateequipment23]

Nice one Sam! Yeah that's a very unique combo! Thank you!

[@mikeredhead2894]

I just added the Surge to my edc. As a big man, in a big old industry of hardscaping/landscaping I need to this tool. Been carrying my fastback/knipex combo for a long time, gonna switch a few things around. That's for the video, I am a "big and heavy" fan of the Surge multitool, I see now why they call it the King

[@ultimateequipment23]

Thanks for the feedback Mike ! Oh yes, I was just looking at the reviews for the new Arc that came out but I don't think it can replace the Surge in my inventory, despite its specs and ergonomics. So yeah Surge all the way 😁

[@recycled3654]

It's a really great robust MT. No denial on that, it would be a fine choice in your kit and I doubt there would be no regrets when the time came you should need it. Great choice.

[@ultimateequipment23]

👍🤟

[@jasonmiller9495]

I have Surge , Wave , Supertool 300 , Sidekick. I've been carrying my Surge and the SOG assist 8n my pocket everyday lately. They make a good combo

[@ultimateequipment23]

Nice collection there Jason 👍

[@wyatth.j.1661]

Bro I just stumbled upon you via researching this tool cause I got it for work and wanted to know the specifics and shit, I love your content very informative

[@ultimateequipment23]

nice videos. found your other channel by chance and realize both were you. Great videos !

[@ultimateequipment23]

Thank you 😁

[@DoomOfConviction]

Very nice funny review, instant Abo. I bought 25cm saw blades for my search, it’s ridiculous but total usable in a bushcraft situation.

Thank you so much !

[@RandoPandaSmiles]

Victorinox smokes the Surge, in price and quality. Being able to use any bits from any other kit is also really nice. No proprietary bits. The retention is also substantially sturdier on the Victorinox. I do like that Leatherman is made in the USA. But they can’t beat the Swiss in terms of precision tools unfortunately.

[@danraan]

Good. Buy. Just got it today

[@sliderdriver1]

I bought a surge and I realised that the surge is not really edc. The wave is more suited for edc. Not to happy with the scissor spring as it jumps when cutting and the file holder has a very sharp edge on the release point. Unfortunately I'll need to return it for the spring issue. I think excess play in the scissor rivet. I've bought a screwdriver extender and an led lenser p2r work to compliment the kit which all fits well in the nylon case.

[@ultimateequipment23]

Yeah, the wave+ is a better edc tool. The surge is a chunky boy. I see, maybe a defect on that sample. Mine are ok so far.

[@NpgSymboL]

I bought my father the surge as a present but for myself I have a wave plus black

[@Maixo]

Good review 👍. I initially got the Leatherman Crunch cos I am a pipe fitter by trade and a set of vice grips will always be more welcome than pliers - pliers more suited to my electrician cousins and their knitting 😁. I then decided to drop hints to my wife about the Surge just in time for my birthday. Surge is a proper multi tool but it is quite heavy - if you carry it every day, something is going to give - the belt, the belt loop or the sheath.... Guaranteed! . I then proceeded to buy a Charge TTI cos it was half price and so much lighter with similar capabilities as the Surge....... however ..... My first choice carry is the Crunch along with a Knipex Cobra XS, a mini ratchet, a bit extender and a 1/4 " Allen key bit set. In my game, it all fits in one pouch and has proven a lifesaver.

[@ultimateequipment23]

Thank you Matt and thanks for sharing. 😁 It is a heavy boy, I know the surge. As for the rest, I bet, but you need them. Will get a Knipex one day myself. Very curious about them.

[@Maixo]

@@ultimateequipment23 Knipex very handy for the smaller bolt sizes when used in partnership with crunch grips. Those pesky little brackets or covers that one comes across on the 3rd or 4th level of scaffolding..... Instead of coming the whoooooole way down to get tools out of your box 😄

[@ultimateequipment23]

Yup, I would do the same in that scenario, by the sound of it 😅 I mean I tend to use my multitool more than my pliers from my main tool box - saves me opening my wardrobe plus the box - compared to the multitools that just sits there on a shelf 😅 A Gerber one, the sliding one, I forget the name of it.

[@jkanecutlery]

I like the Squirt

[@ultimateequipment23]

They are excellent especially for the keychain so always on you 👍 I will do a video with 'what's on my keychain'.

[@samikhal5455]

Check out the attachable pocket clip that cost less than $10. It is great to use with the Surge.

[@ultimateequipment23]

Will do Sami. Thanks!

[@leoevs441]

Agree, awesome little add on, I carry my Surge in my pocket as my edc, its a bit chunky but with it clipped on the inside of my pocket it's not to bad, don't really notice it there.. 👍👍

[@ultimateequipment23]

Excellent!

[@roosteroriginal6458]

I carry this daily in a pistol type belt sheath ... kydex ... or whatever, anyway, I'm very active and this combo is perfect :) I've had the wave, the sidekick, and several other brands and this fits my life the best. Is there any other multitool that compares to this? I havent found one, but would love to see a comparable tool :)

[@ultimateequipment23]

So far, it is the *one*. Thanks for the feedback!

[@fine_boygohunt3054]

yeah nice

[@ultimateequipment23]

Thanks! 👍

[@hb2062]

I bought the wave plus and the surge I didn’t know what one to buy so I bought both

[@ultimateequipment23]

I would have done the same 👍 Both great choices.

[@fc436]

Hello, i have leatherman surge,wave,charge g 10,PST original, skeletool and Sidekick. I also have Victorinox swisstool, Spirit and a rare Spirit MXBS one hand blade opening. And a gerber center drive. The best overall multitool is.leatherman Surge for.me!

[@ultimateequipment23]

Nice collection you have there. Cool, so glad to hear that. 😁

[@fc436]

@@ultimateequipment23 thank you,greeting from Italy!

[@michaelk487]

😊😊cool

[@droidx6]

Great video, i own the skeletool cx and the Charge TTi i love my charge, but i think my next one will be either the surge or the free p2 ive owner the p2 before its definitely a great multitool not as sturdy as the charge, it gets the job done tho and the beauty about the free series is they get the beefy plier head, anyhow cheers Btw subbed youre Quiet lovely to listen to along with the great information right to the point style i truly enjoyed this video. The modular saw and scissors really do it for me when it comes to the surge all the other stuff like bit exchanger are just plus's great all around tool for sure.

[@ultimateequipment23]

Thank you so much man 🤗🤟 I had a skeletool as well long time ago and those new ones with a damascus blade look very sexy 😁 Nice collection btw and how's the charge tti?

[@Brian-sp3vt]

I have the Charge TTI as well but after seeing this I feel like you get WAY more for your money with the Surge. I mean, what am I getting for the Charge? Titanium scales and a S30V metal blade?

[@droidx6]

@@Brian-sp3vt i traded for mine, but yes youre correct and thats what im thinking cause You do also get the bit exchanger but with the surge you get the Saw exchanger as well which is so clutch i mean you can go through most 2x4 easy peasy in a pinch you get the better scissors which wont be used 24/7 but that time you do need them theyll be there, the beeefier pliers? 🤠 I love my charge I'm sure you do as well but I'm with you brother I'm going to be upgrading to the surge soon just so I can have both haha

[@ultimateequipment23]

On paper, looks like that. Plus the surge is bigger overall.

[@annekedebruyn7797]

Yeah it ain't your EDC outside the workplace. But you really won't notice it on your work belt.

[@ultimateequipment23]

Indeed 👍

[@lordchesterfield4217]

the white or stainless surge are much durable than black oxide, i have black oxide when i used to it to hit the nail it broke it is brittle than stainless color.

[@ultimateequipment23]

I see. Thanks for the feedback.

[@shreksexy6879]

Surge titanium! C'mon leatherman!

[@ultimateequipment23]

True 😁

[@leoevs441]

Now that would be special.. 👍👍

[@phileasfrogg273]

Mention that the saw socket is bosch single lug shank compatible.

[@ultimateequipment23]

Nice one!

[@eluminaryxarrais7735]

I actually broke pliers on my Leatherman surge, I was trying to remove a spark arrester screen on a leaf blower and they snapped. Grabbing it from the front and twisting to the side doesn't go well for them I don't think they really made to put Force on them in that direction... I probably could have gotten it replaced under warranty it's still less than 25 years since I bought it but I never bothered with the hassle. I have lost 2 charge tti and now decided to just keep the wave on me, they're just about the same but the TTI is more expensive and fancy

[@jamesmorales710]

Black or silver ? Recommend

[@ultimateequipment23]

I love it in black and then it get a nice patina effect when it wears in time.

[@peddypeoples941]

I have the Surge in stainless, like it a lot but think overall the swisstool x is better for me, very sturdy, lighter, more compact and much better build quality.

[@ultimateequipment23]

Those are epic as well, I agree 👍

[@electriciansmate1987]

Did you say 35 year warranty? No questions asked?

[@MrDkgio]

Problems, proprietary bits that are too soft and break easily, standard 1/4” bits are better and cheaper, if you think the scissors are the best you haven’t tried many multi tools, Victorinox and Bibury both have better scissors, surge are not one handed opening. Even the t shank holder doesn’t accept normal t shanks securely. Quality of present day leathermans is lower than the earlier models.

[@ultimateequipment23]

I didn't say it's perfect, it's better than the smaller leathermans from what I teated. I have the swistool as well. I like both.
