Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I needed to send my wave (the old version) in for service when the bottle opener broke, so I got a surge in the mean time. The Surge is quite a bit bigger than the wave and it really won't ride in your pocket, so you have to use the holster which, frankly, is not very good. The finish on the holster started to peel within the first few days which hasn't happened to any of the other three leatherman holsters (one of which is 10 years old) and the design means that you will probably need to use both hands to put it away, which is also not good. The sides of the holster are mad out of a nylon and elastic material which does not look like it will last long (mine eis a month old, and is already showing wear.You can stick a flashlight in one of the "side pockets" which are really just potential spaces between two layers of the elastic material the holster sides are made of. One good design element is that the bottol of the holster is designed on one side to keep something from working down the elastic pocket and falling out (like the Fenix single AAA light I keep in mine) while the other side is scalloped to accept something longer like a pencil.The tool itself is a pretty burly piece and seems like it will stand a lot of use. I find myself appreciating that the scissors are accessible without opening the tool, but am pretty sure the pathetic plastic thumb rest will fall off pretty soon. Both knife blades are useful, but are not particularly sharp from the factory. The exchange-a-blade system works well, and the other blade stores in a plastic 2 position keeper in the holster, which will also hold a card of spare bits for the bit driver if you happen to buy the 2-card accessory driver bit pack.Inside, there seem to be fewer tools. One side of the handle has a can/bottle opener that's quite a bit stouter than the one that broke on my wave, and a bit driver that holds a double-ended bit plus the 10 more on the holster. The other side has a flat screwdriver thats just barely small enough to fit the bar adjustment screw on my Husky chain saw. There is also a fine screwdriver that holds a double-ended eye glass bit (plus a spare, not included in the 10 above fits in the bit card in the holster).There is also a pierced awl-reamer type tool. All of the tools lock into place with the best locking systen I've seen on a multi tool yet. The outside blades will come open even wearing gloves, same probably goes with the inside tools which are very easy to grab and come out one at a time instead of all stuck together. Big pliers. You're not going to be cutting #9 wire with these, but they're perfectly adequate for bailing wire. Overall, this was a good buy except for the embarasingly bad holster, which is a desigh that I'm sure won't last long with a maker as good as Leatherman Tool. I typed this in on my phone while standing in line at the DMV, so forgive the spelling, as I won't be proof-reading this.
