Tools and Hardware Reviews of Leatherman 830160 Surge Pocket Multitool with Leather Sheath

Customer Review: Heavy Duty Legitimacy...Weight is worth functions
Summary: 5 Stars

This Leatherman tool is admittedly a hefty item. But let's be honest, that means it's a tool that isn't going to let you down. Can you get this many different functions in such a small package? Probably not. This is nothing like what similar Coleman camping products offer. I got the 42-bit accessory set as well as this multitool. After a few days, you don't really feel it when your actually working. Tons of different implements that cut: wire stripper, serrated and clip point knife blades, two wire cutting spots on it, screwdrivers (flat and phillips) and of course the needlenose. The blades came razor sharp from the factory. I also like the strong spring on the scissors. It snaps the blades back out instantly after release.

The interchangeable file and saw blade combination was an interesting touch to add even more versatility, but this seemed a bit lost on me. I don't think I'm going to file any tool with the insert I got (NOTE: I have the file, but I think it came from the 42-bit ACCESSORY KIT). The interchanging ability is more of a hassle than it's worth. Also, the file/saw felt wobbly and weak in the setup.

I like to be prepared at work and I find everything down to the eyeglass repair screwdriver useful in one way or another. Rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it. However, I am able to state the former for the uses outnumbering the drawbacks of weight, which seems to be the main complaint of people who have this.

My leatherman arrived pristine with a leather case that had stretchy cloth material for the sides. A bit of a letdown the sheath was not leather all around. Well worth the money for functionality though.

The Surge Extra-Large Multitool from Leatherman

The Leatherman Surge multitool is built with tough new pliers, longer blades and easy-to-use locks. This multitool features a helpful blade exchanger with the saw and diamond/wood file blades -- and with this blade exchanger, two knives and the extra-strong scissors are easily accessed from the outside of the tool. Also, there are four outside-opening blades to give you quick access to the tools you use most. The Surge boasts both large and small bit drivers, and it comes in a leather sheath. With stronger jaws for more squeezing force with less effort, plus Leatherman's strongest scissors yet, Surge is sure to make a splash at the work site.

Key Tech Specs:

  • 100-percent stainless steel construction
  • Includes Phillips #1-2, screwdriver 3/16-inch bits
  • Includes Phillips and flat tip eyeglasses bits
  • 4-1/2 inches long (closed)

Key User Features

The Surge features four blades that can be opened while the tool is closed. Open the straight and serrated knife blades with one hand by placing your thumb at the base of the blade and rotating the knife until it's fully extended, which securely engages the locking mechanism. The locking mechanism is marked with a padlock symbol on the tool, and to disengage it, just squeeze it towards the handle until the blade slides past the lock. It's a simple feature, but it's one that guarantees your safety.

To open and close the interior blades, just grip the handles and swing them open. Each interior blade can be lifted out by using the nail nicks or the thumb lifts. And if you wish to change blades, simply remove the saw or blade file from the blade exchanger by opening the exchanger to a 90-degree angle from the closed handles. The blade releases from a t-shank connector at the clasp. Changing tool bits is equally easy. Just open the bit driver, grasp the tool bit, and pull it straight out -- then snap the desired bit into place.

The Leatherman Tool Group and its History of Quality

In 1975, Leatherman Tool Group founder Tim Leatherman was inspired by leaky pipes and a cranky car on a budget trip to Europe -- and thus the idea for his first pocket survival tool was conceived. Since then, Leatherman has become an internationally recognized company with hundreds of employees and a wide variety of durable, versatile, stylish products. Created with bold designs and truly rugged construction, Leatherman products are a perfect addition for tool kits, emergency sets, and glove compartments everywhere.
