Their Compound Leverage system doubles the output from your grip strength compared to normal pliers on other multi tools. There is no denying that SOG has the best pliers available on a multi tool. The blade exchanger comes with a diamond coated file and a saw so you can carry the one you use most – it also accepts any standard t-shank blade from your toolbox.

The blade exchanger and large scissors are outside accessible but you need to unfold the handles to use the bit driver. Large thumb holes make them easily opened with one hand, even with gloves on. You can put all your strength into the Surge when doing jobs and it just takes it, almost daring you to try harder because it doesn’t flex.īoth the straight edge clip point blade and the serrated blades are 3.1 in long, made from 420HC steel. The Surge is big brother to the Wave+ which has been Leatherman’s best selling model for decade. With that weight you get strong, capable tools. Definitely need to carry the Surge in a sheath or holster. Holding 63 quarters is 12.6 oz and gives you better feel for the weight – that is more than a roll and a half of quarters. Sure the specs say 4.5 in and 12.5 oz, but what does that really mean? Well a can of Coke at 13 oz is close but the bulkier size makes it feel lighter in your hand. The Surge is heavy-duty but it is hard to describe how beefy this tool is until you get your hands on it.
