Our take on the Leatherman Surge Multi Tool

The Leatherman Surge is Leatherman's heaviest full-size multi-tool, built around full-size outside-opening blades and a bit-driver system. It is the tool for people who do real work with their hands: tradespeople, campers and anyone who wants pliers and cutters that feel like real pliers and cutters. Against the Wave+ and Charge+ it is bigger, heavier and stiffer, with larger scissors and a stronger frame, but it is not a pocket tool. Owners praise the build and the tool set; the common complaints are weight, stiffness when new and the need for a sheath.

Best forTradespeople and DIYers who want full-size blades and pliersCampers, hunters and overlanders who carry a sheath toolBuyers who want one heavy-duty tool instead of severalPeople who use bit drivers and replaceable saw blades
Pros
  • Full-size outside-opening knife blade and saw
  • Large scissors and heavy-duty pliers with replaceable wire cutters
  • Bit driver plus a full set of screwdriver bits
  • Locking tools on both handles
  • Solid, stiff frame that takes hard use
Cons
  • Very heavy at 12.5 oz, so it pulls on a belt or pocket
  • Tools are stiff out of the box and need breaking in
  • Too bulky for pocket carry; a sheath is effectively required
  • Some owners find the file and saw short for their size

Questions and answers

Is the Surge too heavy for everyday carry?
At 12.5 oz it is one of the heaviest multi-tools Leatherman makes. It suits belt-sheath carry or a bag; most owners find it too heavy for a pocket.
How does it compare with the Leatherman Wave+?
The Surge is larger and heavier, with bigger scissors, a full-size saw and a stronger frame. The Wave+ is lighter and easier to carry every day.
Does it come with a sheath?
Most Surge packages include a nylon or leather sheath, but check the box contents for the version you buy. A sheath is the practical way to carry it.
Are the wire cutters replaceable?
Yes. The plier cutters are replaceable, which matters if you cut hard wire often.
Can the blades be opened one-handed?
Yes. The knife blade opens from the outside with a thumb stud, and the tools lock open.
Is it legal to carry in cities?
Laws vary by state and city, and a locking blade of this size is restricted in some places. Check your local rules before carrying it.
