I'm loving these new clones. I had a surge stolen from my car. I would have been much less upset about losing one of these
I had this exact thing happen to me also, I purchased the DL30 today. I have also bought an engraver and paint to mark all my tools. I have been going over all my tools engraving and painting them in my own colour scheme.
I live in Spain and the Leatherman's are ridiculously expensive. A Leatherman Wave is about 170 EUR, and that is without a pocket clip or additional bits. So I bought the bibury surge clone for 38 EUR. It is a beast. So far so good, and for that price I have zero complaints so far. I have had it for about 3 weeks and it is holding up. I wish it came with a pocket clip, incase I don't take the pouch, but I am okay with it. Leatherman needs to do a better job of selling in Europe at a reasonable price.
P.S. I primarily use it for DIY and camping and hiking.
Why does a domestic American company need to cater to a country in Europe? If they wanted that market they'd expand.
I'm from Portugal and I use the Leatherman Rev and I like it a lot, it was a gift from my wife, recently I bought the Daicamping DL 30 and it's a great tool, I made a few upgrades to it. For under 40 €, can't go wrong.
@@escapetherace1943
🤡
The wave here in spain cost 125 eur... If you paid 170... Te han estafado compañero.
@@dunydesignsCamarasyMas I did not buy it, I went for the clone. Where did you buy it? Because both on Leatherman's official website and Amazon it cost €160 without the pocket clip or bit kit.
The 22-in-1 is really decent quality. The toolset is not available on any single Leatherman, you would need 3 different Leatherman models to cover the range from the one B/BURY. The knife blade is engineered just as well as the 'higher quality' tools. The sawblade is very good, the pliers with interchangeable hard wire cutters excellent, the tungsten glass breaker really good, the ferro rod and whistle very convenient, these copies have really stepped up their game. Only gripe I have is the over decoration of the tools, makes them look a little chintzy, stay classy San Diego.
Owning 3 Leathermans, the Surge, the Rebar and the Wingman, I have checked them side by side and in use and these B/BURY tools really do stack up against all the other brands and where price is concerned, absolutely nothing else competes at all, not Gerber, not SOG, not Victorinox, not Leatherman, none. These other Market Leaders need to up their game, most patents they held have expired allowing B/BURY to legitimately use tool designs with zero legal repercussions. Leatherman are now being somewhat lazy and just using gimmicky powder or ceramic coated blade/scale finishes to create more interest in their products, few if any new individual tool design ideas.
Second that. I got mine about a year ago and its held up great with alot of use. Sure there are some "quality" differences. A slight wobble here and there etc. But it doesnt really affect the performance of the tool at all. They are built well enough to rely on and they are priced at a point where you feel like you dont have to baby them. The 22 in 1 has the best aspects from the wave and signal (I own both) and even does several things better than either of those. Scissors, firesteel, awl etc. Only thing missing is a phillipshead screwdriver really but it does have a slot for hexbits of thats much of and issue.
I just lost my $150 Leatherman surge on a camping trip, i am pretty sure someone on the trip knew it a expensive multi tool and took it..... so cosider that when taking your expensive multitool on trips
There’s always a rat 🐀 around; sad but that’s the reality.
Man, I feel your pain people are shitty.
Sorry to see that. I would keep something like that on me at all times.
I'vle lost 4 surges and a st300. It hurts every time and to be honest I probably wouldnt have worn of these cheap models out in the time it took me to lose them.
All hail Bibury 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
If your going to buy a clone, buy bibury. I just got my pro model and I’m in love with this thing.
I did buy thie surge clone and have been using it at work. So far so good. I work in industrial maintenance so it gets a work out
I have the Bibury one with the replaceable file/saw - this uses standard "jigsaw" blades, so its possible to insert a metal or wood blade depending what you need.
That's cool
I bought the one with the hammer when I saw it on your channel a few months back and I absolutely love this thing. I use it at least 3-5 times per day. Since I’m new to EDCng a multi tool I wanted to see how much I would use one before dropping $150 and frankly I have very little reason so far to upgrade to a Leatherman, especially since I have no desire to put myself in a situation with proprietary bits. I see you subtly letting Leatherman know they’re in trouble if they don’t start “playing nice” with other bit systems, but a lot of brands seem to think they’re the “Apple” of their industry and their name will overcome purposeful compatibility issues and slow innovation. If they don’t get it together soon Bibury might become the Canik of the multi-tool space.
I agree with you completely. I have some Leathermans, but bought all those before all the clones have come onto the market and I think the clones are a better buy than a Leatherman. It's hard, for me personally, to pay 2-3 times (or more) for a similar Leatherman product.
yeah, looks like leatherman playing silly game forgetting that Euro is already 10%> than $
Wow! I purchased the Bibury Surge clone shortly after you published the video. Yes, I took advantage of the fifty percent off coupon! Thank you! Over the last week and a half. I have really been able to adjust and break in the tool! I also attached a pocket clip to the tool! The tool is phenomenal! What a deal!
how do you attach a pocket clip?
Could you post a link to the pocket clip? Name? I just ordered the surge clone but want clip as well.
Hello, Dominic! I made what I figured was a thoughtful comment & it was removed(not you)....All I said was that you were doing the knife & multitool community a service by making us aware of budget alternatives to these tools & gave you my complements...😊 In addition, I think your idea of having 1 or 2 really good tools is a good one...these are great tools for all reasons & purposes you talked about...Good job!😊
I just got the surge clone for £35. And the wave for about £25. Very happy to give one to my sister in law rather than her spending £100+ on a Wave
Which one is better? They’re currently £22 on Amazon. I think that’s the wave clone. Don’t suppose you still have the link for it? Thanks
Awesome, you're doing us all a service with the videos on tools like this. I lost my favorite edc, my leatherman wave + black and stainless, when it came out of my pocket on a motorcycle ride. I retraced my trip 3 times, but never found it and obviously someone must have swiped it before I could get to it. Anyway I couldn't justify carrying a $160 tool like that anymore so never replaced it. That was 2 years ago, and today I bought all three of these tools on amazon for less than I could replace that wave+ here in Canada. I'll carry one, and keep the others in a vehicle/motorcycle. Thanks for the insight!
I had to report back here after receiving these three tools yesterday. Pretty big disappointment on the wave clone, that thing was a train wreck and I sent it back. There wasn't a part on it that wasn't messed up in some way. Everything rough, bent, loose and flimsy, even the pliers. I spent an evening breaking in the pivots, tuned it up with the torx bits and went at it with the CLP, but it was a lost cause. The surge clone was a little better so I kept that one but just as a backup in a glove box. Undecided on the signal clone, but I need the bit driver more than ferro rod. I have a whole new appreciation for my real leatherman tools now though! lol. Guess I'd been taking them for granted all these years. Buy once cry once?
9:46 They are called Spanner Bits
I really like that these come in nice-ish boxes, makes them feel much more premium than those blank boxes you get with so much budget stuff
I have the bigger the coppy of the surge and is a beast. Huge and very strong you dont imagine the crazybtjings that can do with that tool, is amazing.
If you break the pliers, I'd be amazed. You'd have to grab the base of those with massive channel locks and pinch those down on the tool, then put those in a vise and crank down to break those pliers.
I gave my Swiss Tool (Wave clone) to a friend who didn't have a multitool... Looks like I'm picking up the Surge clone w/ discount coupon. :)
Thank you for the review and links!
I just ordered this and I used your link, so you should get credit for it. I went to cut a, I believe 10 Guage solid core wire and my Knifeless Rebar cutter snapped on the side that had the rounded cutter. The more squared off bottom cutter was fine. I ended up having to come down the ladder to get my wire cutters out of my toolbag, to finish the job. I have been wanting to get the Surge for a while and luckily I am working in a building without knife regulations, so I will be ok with this for a while. I don't do electrical all the time, I was on the demo team today and I had to make sure the plumbing and electrical was taken care of. The 240 wire broke my cutter. I am going to contact Leatherman and see if I can send a picture, because I have the picture of the wire that broke it, with the cutters still on the wire. Copper should not break these cutters. Thanks for recommending these, because they are 40 percent off right now and I think they were $41 and some change. I am at least looking forward to this multitool and putting it to the test. 😀
So my father-in-law stopped over yesterday and noticed the Surge clone... He reacted like it was like the first time he ever saw a multi-tool.
Now he's getting one for Christmas. Btw: The 50% off coupon is still working. :)
Found a set of screwdriver bits that work great, Husky 37 in 1 at Home Depot. Can’t seem to post a link but only $16.97. Bought them, tried them, very cost effective supplemental set.
Been using the wave/signal mashup tool for a little over a year now. I believe its called "22 in 1" I have used it relatively hard and it's actually held up great. Not sure about quality control with this brand so someone perhaps had a different experience. While it feels lower quality than my wave or signal I haven't really had any indication that it actually would be in terms of practical use and durability despite being, twisting, prying or hammering. The only difference in terms of actual performance is a slight disadvantage in edge retention. To me thats not a big deal because its still absolutely good enough for what I would use it for. Assuming the toolset is right for you I highly recommend it. I did slightly bend the small screw driver but it bent right back and I have snapped countless of those on the wave/charge and I much prefer bending.
The surge clone looks like a great deal! Once this semester is paid for, I’m snagging one!
I bought two awhile ago to vote with my money.
Leatherman put the scissors on the outside of the wave
Thanks for the vids much appreciated… 50% is back up now btw for those wanting to get the hook up
Just got my first clone. The wife put it in the cart on prime day. She got me the Flissa variant of the wave. Like you had mentioned the quality is not great. The pliers work fine (a little tight)
The problem i have is not all the liner locks function without a lot of pressure. Still for $23 i would have been happy with only half the tools working. I use it primarily to garden in the backyard. The external serrated blade is great for trimming plants and harvesting crops.
I have the Pro and been using it as an EDC for a few months. Not overly impressed with the edge on the knives, but for the money I cannot complain. My biggest gripe is the low quality of the case. Taking out the extra bits and especially replacing them in the sheath is way to fiddly and likely not to be secure as the elastic gets old. The spare saw blade retention is not secure, though I have not managed to lose those spares yet. One of the rivets that holds the belt clip to the sheath pulled through already, despite not having seen any very hard service. I repaired it with my riveting tool and sandwiching the case between a thin metal plate place inside the sheath and the plastic clip. A crappy case might invalidate the insurance if it only covers breakage and not loss, since the rivets falling out could result in the tool and sheath disappearing on you with only the clip to be found on your belt at the end of the day.
On the Amazon website it says the only comes with a PH1 phillips, for the only phillips, but I was pleasantly surprised to see a PH1/PH2 bit installed. When I 1st opened it, I said sweet baby Jesus, this thing is huge. The 1 thing I don't like it that none of these clones, Wave or Surge, doesn't have detents on the opened pliers handles, but that's just a minor disappointment. I love it. Thank you so much. $40 isn't bad at all for this. 😀
I love these budget tool reviews, thank you!
Just got mine and love it but I would love a pocket clip
Just if anyone is curious. The donk pocket clip for the wingman and sidekick works on the surge copy
Really?!?!
@maxlvledc yeah i can send a picture if u like. Not sure where to send it tho
There's no space on the upgraded bibury multitool for the clip that I've seen.
@rangerbravo well ive got one installed on mine. They must have just changed the design. Make sure its the surge clone the others wont work.
I had a bibury for 9 month before the locking mechanism broke. Im going to give the surge clone a try and hope it fares better.
I have the swiss tech version of the wave, the middle hammer version you have there and also the DL 30. Plus a LM surge and a wave, have to say the clones are not to the same std, but for the price I cannot complain and have them with my off road & camping kit, if they get lost , damaged or borrowed then I will shed no tears, The leatherman wave stays on my belt and the surge is in home as an easy to grab tool.
I just received a dl30, body has a few nicks and scratches nothing major, blades need tension adjust for sure, scissors not sure if normal but need to manually move the spring so it locks.
Still good for the $ will throw it in the diaper bag
Looking up to get Leatherman Signal for my MT in Malaysia and it cost around RM750-RM800/$170-175 (new) and RM650+-/$150 (used). Until found this BiBury MT starting from RM90/$20 up to RM300/$70 and seller said great Leatherman alternative.
Now we need a crunch clone !
YEAH!!😂
That would be aaaammaaazing!
@@maxlvledc YUP!!
Yes. That's what I want. I love vise grip pliers. Guess how much I see Crunch going for on Amazon now? $360. 🤣😱 They need to lay off the crack. 🤣
I have never broken the pliers on a multi tool, but I have damaged the cutters before, so I might go for the replaceable cutters.
Yeah, one problem with that…Bibury does not offer separate replacement blades…I tried to buy a spare set, couldn’t find them and contacted Bibury directly…they MAY make them available in the future. They did not respond when I further asked what’s the point of offering replaceable blades but no replacement blades.
@@tednothanks1728 doesn't the tool come with a spare set?
Thank you very much for these informational videos. While I like the "Buy American" ideal, in reality I can't practice it as much these days due to health and costs of my health meaning Leatherman and very sadly Victorinox Swiss tools are just not an option for me. While I don't have a major use and need for a Multitool outside of the utilitarian SAKs I have, being a tinkerer means one might be handy from time to time. I do also carry the smaller Leatherman ES4(that I used when I was working with computers/electronics) and the PS4 that I had previously before the health issues so a decent tool that is less expensive but still effective would be nice because nowadays I might miss place/lose the tool.
I'll look into these, thank you!
is this clones x5 to 8 cheaper : yes
is leatherman x5 to 8 quality : no
is 179$ painful to lose or break : YES
is 35$ going to be something : no
I recently buy the surge clone, the 19 in 1 bibury and bunch of other good electrician tools for the same price of the surge , they are good & do the job ''for what you pay'', just my opinion.
aarg! just bought the bibury surge clone for $80, and now some RUclips guy is telling me I paid too much. oh well, I like it anyway 😂
Let me know how it holds up, but yea...you can also get thr DL30 for $35 on Ali express
This completely replaced my surge the ball detent bits make life so much easier
I recently bought the B/bury Surge clone from Amazon for $37.00.
Just bought the Pro BLT, liking it so far. Had to return the first one as it was nearly impossible to open; QC clearly lacking. Fortunately, Amazon made the replacement seamless and the new tool is near perfect! My question, has anyone found a screwdriver bit set that will supplement the included bits. I’ve looked high and low and can’t seem to get a straight answer. Thanks in advance!
BTW…thank you for the review…I really appreciate the work you do!
these are the brothers of Ozark Trail
I work some where with a bunch of thieves I'm looking for something to use instead of my rebar. Any hard use test videos?
Not from me, havnt had the time or space. The cheap $23 one is my recommendation
Awesome! Thank you.
A pistol? 😂😂😂
@@Handlebar-MustDash piston gont pull wire and scrape chemical foam off pumps very well.
@@xcynn3rx It would get rid of the thieves though 😂.
I ordered the surge clone at the 50% discount and got the three year warranty. My question is, because I can’t seem to find one, do you know of a full 1/4 ratchet driver for sale similar to the leatherman ratcheting bit driver?
Not that I know of
Yeah I haven’t found one yet either. Could be a potential market for something like that I would think.
Kool just ordered the 31 and 1 for 42 bucks thanks
How about some long term use videos? I wouldn't minds seeing a head to head with a leatherman to see which holds up better.
I may send mine out to a friend who ca put it through proper usage
La pro es la mejor, con sierras de calar puedes cortar madera, metal, hasta otros materiales con las de polvo de diamante, con solo intercambiar la lima. En precio no es tan cara como Leatherman, si te la roban te dolerá menos.
can you imagine if these clones had the option to upgrade the steel? at least on the knife blade.
So I'm curious about the steel quality of the blade on the Pro as the blade is my most often used tool, size, sharpness and edge retention are key. If it's not so great i'm also wondering how easy and practical it would be to swap an S30V blade from a Charge+ TTI onto it. And speaking of swapping Bibury also makes one of the smaller models that has a gut hook (they call it a strap cutter) on the serrated blade, I wonder if that can be swapped over in place of the regular serrated blade, It's probably smaller but that doesn't matter.
I realize that I could just get a Leatherman Charge+ TTI and get the layout I want but I really don't like their bit driver and the $200 price tag is tough to chew on.
Would you recommend one of these Biburys or should I stick with the Ozark trail multiforce I already have?
I think the Ozark is awesome personally...the large one may be worth a consideration though because it has a different toolset
On these 3 can you swap the tools around? So can I take off stuff I would use and add stuff I would to one?
The big one no...the other 2 yes. Have a video on it linked in description
Dominic, what is the orange piece on the hammer tool? Thanks!
It's a removable ferro rod and whistle
@@maxlvledc ok, cool....thanks!!
Question
Bibury 19in1 or Daicamping DL1…? Why? Or are they the same
I have the same question.
All bibury are actuly identical DL's, same manufacture industry and same quality, chinese have strange way of giving different names for multitools and even other products in each market.
Thanks for this comparison review. Do the 19 in 1 and Surge Clone work with the Wiha double sided bits if you install a small magnet in the bit driver, as can be done with the Multiforce?
100% yes
Thanks for the info. Do the supplied ball detent bits still work properly once a magnet is installed?
I have bought the Surge clone, and when you close the main knife blade it hits the inner part of the frame, making it blunt at the most important section of the blade. WHAT A SHAME - such an important issue and easy to avoid, not to be overlooked by the producer...
Btw the serrated blade hits the frame on its top, which is bearable, but still it is not very cleaver to construct it that way.
Where can I get a pocket clip for the surge clone?
I'd like to know as well. I just ordered the surge clone on sale ($33 ~ Amazon) now wondering what clip to look up on Amazon.
Thank you for your review! 😃👍. Is the last one made of 3cr, but the blade is 7cr? You said it was the exact same as the other surge clone you reviewed from alie express and I think that website lists it as a 7cr13 blade.
Sadly, I can't find any BiBury Multitool in AliExpress for purchase.
DL camping DL30 multitool, link in the description to the last video where I show it
My saw holder bent out of shape the first time I used it
That little tab?
Do you know if surge tools fit in the bibury pro? I was thinking about picking up a scalpel holder for it
I cannot get the scissors to work, have the surge clone and the scissors close and do not open is there some kind of trick because this is one of the main reasons for buying it. Very disappointed if the scissors are flawed and just opened it.
You have to make sure the scissor is locked in…that will kick the spring into place and allow for normal use.
is Bibury the same as Rocktol?
Is it possible to modify the Bibury to the multiforce layout? Or is the multiforce from an other china man?
Are they better than Daicamping?
literally - the same. The only difference is laser etched logo and the box they are coming...
@@sergio.i Aha, so it's the same product for different markets. Thanks!
Same
Why are some of the Bibury blades black? Is this paint or a coating? Any difference in blade hardness or sharpness?
Paint, low quality. It won't change hardness which is good
@@maxlvledc Thanks. I'm new to multitools, and fumble with choosing the right blade so I used a sharpening stone to remove a bit of the paint from the top of the knife blade. Many thanks for your channel and posts.
I have no idea why people buy leatherman. The build quality and material choices are exactly the same, if not somewhat better(some use better blade steels). There are fewer expensive hard to find proprietary parts. They just tend to be better
But they are heavy
Is there a bibury multi tool that is around the same size a leatherman wave?
Yep, the ones I showed minus the big one. It's about .4 oz heavier but you get a full 1/4" driver
Where can I get the survivor cord that you have? I've looked for some a while back with no luck. Thanks!
Amazon I believe
What is difference between DL 1 vs DL30
Completely different sizes I believe
The best tool is the tool you have.
Shit I could have bought all 3 for the price of my Leatherman signal!
no discount code for Surge clone
Wait then imo
Anyone have any luck finding a better sheath for the surge clone? The belt clip for the surge clone sheath is flimsy
The nite ize sheath is very good.
@maxlvledc I tried the nite ize sheath, as I already had one on hand, and while it fits, it's very bulky on the belt. Any other suggestions?
Algo
All under 40. Not for long! Lol jk.. it really do be like that though.
Sorry. A like my SwissTech 17in1.
I hope leatherman fails
They have abandoned the people who support them Strayed from a tool for the people to a funko type collectors piece
If you value quality metallurgy, stay away
made in china no thanks
