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

Customer Review: Leatherman Surge
Summary: 5 Stars

Well, this is now my 3rd Leatherman product & I have yet to be disappointed. I told myself that the Wave would be the only Leatherman that I would need, well that was until I noticed that Target was clearencing the Surge, that's right they have them on clearance if you can still find them. So when I found one for $39.95 there was no way I could pass it up!
Let's face it, it's a BIG multi-tool, of course it is, it's a FULL SIZE multi-tool, it says that on the website, so why people are bashing it for it's size is beyond me. If it helps at all, I wear a large work glove & this fits perfectly in my hand & just as comfortable as other Leathermans. I must admit that having more options with the "blade exchanger" would be nice but who knows what the future holds.
This will not replace my Wave for everyday use & carry, but it's a perfect addition to my garage & my bigger weekend projects. If you're looking for a good FULL-SIZED multi-tool, you just can't go wrong with Leatherman & this Surge will definitely fit the bill.

I have had two previous products made by Leatherman, both of which gave me good service. I am pleased with the variety of tools that are on this model and really like the replaceable blade/file idea. I broke the file off from my last model.

I had the new tool for two days when I used it to twist some fencing wire. One side of the pliers snapped off almost immediately. I sent the unit back using the warranty process and it arrived back fixed within two weeks. Apparently the pliers don't handle a sideways torque too well so I will be more careful in the future. It has held up well when cutting wire since then; I don't think I'll try twisting it again any time soon.

The Good: Leatherman's are very sturdy and this is no exception, the construction is very well done and will not fall apart any time soon. The weight leaves you with a very comforting feeling as to the construction.

The Bad: Some of the bits can round off too easy but if you are careful it should not be a problem. Size is a problem if you want to carry this everywhere with you. Pocket carry is not possible. (my brother tried that and had to get new pants after this shredded his pockets). I personally did not like the leather sheath as much as the nylon but to each his own.

The Ugly: This is by no means a small or light tool but it is the best on the market and has every option one could want. Buy and do not regret it!!

If you are looking for a great tool that should be in every car look no further than this one. Several times now i have had a problem that only a leatherman could solve. You will not regret this purchase.
