The Surge is one of Leatherman's largest multi-tools and a true powerhouse. It is packed with large pliers, long multi-tool blades and easy-to-use locks. The Surge utilizes a unique blade exchanger. Large and small bit drivers and four outside-opening blades give you quick access to the tools you use most.

This is a darn good multi tool, feels super solid in hand. I did find it rather heavy for edc but it's still a very nice tool. My main issue with leatherman is their lack of a outboard bit driver like gerbers centerdrive. I also don't understand the obsession they have with flathead drivers, it seems it ever leatherman will have 3 flat heads and maybe 1 small Phillips. The surge doesn't even have a dedicated Phillips so it relies on the interchangeable bit driver. If I happened to lose the bit and wasn't able to get a new one I probably wouldn't carry the tool.
Had this one for about 2 years use it when I'm working in the yard or the shop. holds an edge, very handy, it is heavy and I would recommend using a lanyard for ease of access dropped it in the mud a couple times and had to clean it with WD-40 and cue tips because the blade/file slot lock would stick when being opened.
i got the nylon sheath and the velco wore out in about 2 weeks so i had to upgrade it to a leather. the blade exchanger is junk mine wore out and now the blade or file just falls out. the scissors are really nice, most of them are cheap but this pair is heavy duty..i shoulda bought the wave
