    Hey guys, finally did an update video on the Surge! Wanted to do it soon but have had some health issues that have put me on my butt lol. Anyways here's the link if you want to check it out! ruclips.net/video/QhS-QAc3ZA4/видео.html

    Nice solution for keeping everything in one case. Like you said, the Surge is a very versatile, high quality multitool. And I can state that Leatherman stands by its warranty. I managed to chip the head of the smaller flat head. Sent it back to Leatherman and in a week had it back with a new flat head, no questions asked. That's excellent customer support! I keep my Surge in my get home bag as I'm retired and don't have a need to have it on me daily. I keep a gerber dime in my pocket all the time. It gets a lot of light duty use, especially the clamshell package opener. Wish Leatherman could put that type of tool in their squirt since Leatherman's quality is better than gerber.

      Yea man, Leatherman is the crème de la crème of Multi-tools in my opinion, there're all I ever use. And yes they have top notch customer support/warranty. I haven't had to use either yet, but Ive heard/read so many testimonials that I feel pretty confident in their service. I do like the Dime for what it is, a small MT for nothing serious, like opening packages/mail and I thought that package opener was pretty much one of the best tools on it, hated the bottle opener cause it just got in the way and I overall hate bottle openers on MT's, their just a wasted space IMO. But yes, something like that on the squirt would be great. I love the squirt series cause they are the perfect size MT (best quality too) for my Altoids Tin Survival Kits, some being on my knife rigs, so they work out great for that. Thanks for commenting and checking out my stuff btw. Got a few other video's on my channel if you want to check them out as well. Have a good one!

    I really miss my surge. I gave it to my buddy last Christmas. Cant afford another right now.
    Been looking at the knockoff clone and the price is ridiculous but it doesn't have the lanyard loop. Mega deal breaker.

      @survivalofthefittest409  8 месяцев назад

      Check your local pawn shops!
      Can't tell you how many screamin deals I've found at mine, like a Gen 2 Wave BO, Bit Kits, and sheath, all for *$20!!*
      Brand new condition!
      Gave it as a gift as well lol.
      Great place to find stuff like that, when you don't have much scratch left.

    I just carry two sheets - one which came with surge - it has mole system, or horizontal carry option and i have just multitool in there. Second one is the large holster from letherman where I have extender, three sets of flat bits and t shank blades. Because I do not need all the stuff all the time so I can carry just a multitool in small holster on a belt and the rest is in my bagpack

    • @survivalofthefittest409
      @survivalofthefittest409  10 месяцев назад

      This one usually stays in my bug out bag, so no worries there.
      I EDC the Wave, and Surge in my bag.

      @nex7053 it's definitely still my favorite tool, and the King 👑

      @@survivalofthefittest409 i hear you. I am bit crazy when I go camping and hiking. I am carrying Gerber Gators khukuri machete to chop wood, morakniv (will be also replaced by CS recon) and surge. I still do not feel old yet :D.

    • @survivalofthefittest409
      @survivalofthefittest409  10 месяцев назад

      @nex7053 oh yea if I'm going camping, I'm bring it all with me.
      Better to have it and not need it, than the other way around.
      I'm just talking about my EDC stuff, not wanting to weigh myself down too much.
      Like, it eventually became like a chore, and so i found myself leaving stuff behind all the time, which kinda defeated the purpose behind my EDC to begin with. It was just too much stuff, that was not only weighing me down, but I hastle to have on me when sitting, or going in stores, etc.
      Decided to have a little car kit after that, with most of those extra redundancies going in that, and then just having the essentials on my person. There should be an EDC video on my channel somewhere, of what I carry now, although that one is kinda dated too now haha, but close.
      But basically its just:
      * ESEE IZULA-II
      * LM WAVE+
      * GEAR WALLET, which contains not only my normal wallet stuff, but also my LM Bit Kits, Bit Extender/Adapter, and Firesteel.
      * PETZL TACTIKKA 200 (I EDC a headlamp instead of hand held light)
      * BM MINI ADAMAS FDE/OD (which I don't have yet, but workin on it)
      And then other stuff like glasses, keys, etc

    • @survivalofthefittest409
      @survivalofthefittest409  2 года назад

      The Leatherman website should have them, it's a Leatherman product. That or Amazon. I'm sure other places do too, it's a very common one.

  • @danielarenas416
    @danielarenas416 7 лет назад +2

    Hi, good morning, which model is this case? Because I bought one and it does not come with the sidebands, besides it seems to me of poor quality. Greetings.

    • @survivalofthefittest409
      @survivalofthefittest409  7 лет назад

      daniel arenas Leatherman has Large and XL Molle Sheath in black and brown. This is the XL Brown one. When I bought the Surge it originally came with the Large Black Molle Sheath (no side bands) and yes, poor quality IMO as well. I ordered the XL Brown Molle Sheath along with the Bit Kit & Bit Extender/Adapter as a package deal on Amazon. Still very happy with it.

    • @survivalofthefittest409
      @survivalofthefittest409  7 лет назад

      Here is the link to the package deal. Great deal when you do the math for each item, especially compared to buying them individually on Leatherman's website.

      For my normal EDC, I now do a Wave though.

    • @survivalofthefittest409
      @survivalofthefittest409  4 года назад +1

      I paid full retail $104 for the Surge, and full retail for accessories.
      *BUT!* you can easily find them cheaper online, second hand but still like new, which is what I would advise.
      I was just impatient lol.

      David Green & bonz86 Yes I would be pretty heart broken if my Surge was lost or stolen. If for that exact reason that I tend to edc cheaper end multitools. LM will replace a damaged one, but not a lost/stolen one.
