The bottle/can opener works just as well as any other multi-tool bottle and can opener with nothing particularly special about it. I’ve used the awl quite a bit and my only complaint would be it is a touch large but preforms well. Overall though it appears that the vast majority of customers are quite pleased with their purchase.Īs for the other tools they all work quite well at their intended purposes. T-Shank jig saw blades can be used in the blade exchangerĬustomer reviews are generally positive with the only negatives I found being some quality control issues, the overall weight of the tool, its inability to be comfortably carried in a pocket and that the blade exchanger was difficult to open.File can be used independent of the tool.Both blades, blade exchanger, and scissors accessible from the outside.Leatherman Surge Multi-Tool Pros and Cons Pro’s
#Multi tool pliers broken driver
The Surge comes with two driver bits one that has a #2 and #3 Robertson bit and the other comes with a Phillips bit and a small flat head. The Surge comes with two driver bits which are not the hex style that you find in the hardware store they are a special style that is unique to Leatherman. On the other side is the driver bit holder and the can/bottle opener.
On one side is an awl and two flat head screwdrivers (one large and one small). Inside the tool is the ever present ruler engraved into the interior surface in both imperial and metric. There is no way to open them one handed and like the blades and blade exchanger the scissors are secured via a lever lock system. These scissors are a pretty decent size and spring loaded so they are very easy to use.
The scissors were a massive selling point for myself and I find myself using them all the time, so much so that they are a make or break feature in any multi-tool I purchase. This function expands the ability of the Surge to now also cut metals as well when using a bi-metal jigsaw blade. The blade exchanger is a key feature for myself because it not only allows for switching between the file and saw being in the multi-tool, but the design of the blade exchanger allows for t-shank jigsaw blades to also be used in the tool increasing its versatility. Both the blade exchanger and the scissors do not appear to be designed for one-handed operation regardless of which hand dominance the user has. I’ve tried and failed to open the blades one-handed with my left hand and since Leatherman does not offer a left-handed option anyone who is left-handed will be out of luck. Both blades, can be opened one-handed with just the thumb but the position of the blades is optimized for a right-handed person to open them one-handed. I really like the fact that several tools can be accessed without opening the tool up. The wire cutters and strippers work quite well as does the electrical crimper. They are not spring activated which for me was not an issue as I prefer the pliers on my multi-tools to not be spring-activated. These tools are accessed by folding open the multi-tool which exposes the pliers. Featuring needle nose and regular pliers with replaceable 154CM wire cutters, a wire stripper and an electrical crimper. This is the main event for this style of multi-tool and the pliers on the Surge are large enough to handle damn near any task that is thrown at it. Also instead of calling the pliers a tool they separate the needle nose and regular pliers as two separate tools likewise with the wire cutters, strippers, and crimper even though they are all contained within the pliers of the Surge Leatherman lists 7 separate tools which I would define more as functions rather than individual tools. For example, engraved on the inside is a 9” ruler in both metric and imperial measurements which I would hardly call a ‘tool’. Includes a plastic sleeve to store the file/saw when not in the tool and a spare driver bitĪs with all multi-tools the manufacturer likes to play it fast and loose with the definition of what a ‘tool’ actually is.Whereas in the past most of the tools were contained inside the multi tool the Surge has the capability to access several of them from the outside which is a fantastic feature. The Surge is a stainless steel multi-tool with a similar design to several other mutli-tools in the Leatherman catalogue.
