The Surge features four blades that can be opened while the tool is closed. Open the straight and serrated knife blades with one hand by placing your thumb at the base of the blade and rotating the knife until it's fully extended, which securely engages the locking mechanism. The locking mechanism is marked with a padlock symbol on the tool, and to disengage it, just squeeze it towards the handle until the blade slides past the lock. It's a simple feature, but it's one that guarantees your safety.


To open and close the interior blades, just grip the handles and swing them open. Each interior blade can be lifted out by using the nail nicks or the thumb lifts. And if you wish to change blades, simply remove the saw or blade file from the blade exchanger by opening the exchanger to a 90-degree angle from the closed handles. The blade releases from a t-shank connector at the clasp. Changing tool bits is equally easy. Just open the bit driver, grasp the tool bit, and pull it straight out -- then snap the desired bit into place.


Leatherman 830160 Surge Pocket Multitool with Nylon/Leather Sheath Reviews :
I recently gave my daughter my Leatherman "Supertool" when she moved away to start a new job, telling her that it had most tools she would need. Then I saw a gift set display with the "SURGE" with a very nice Leatherman knife that has two screwdrivers and a set of bits to use in the interchangeable screwdriver... I couldn't resist, and have been very pleased with the whole set... with the small exception that the leather case rides too high on the belt, I switched to a nylon case I had which works fine but doesn't hold the extra bits. That being said I like the "huge size" of this tool,it really is big, (compared to other multi-tools) but I need to use tools all day every day, so it might be a lot to carry if that was not the case. I still carry the blunt nose Gerber always as it can turn a bolt when needed, and is easier to use one handed than any Leatherman tool, but this tool the SURGE, can do more things well than any of the other multi tools out there.

I bought a Leatherman Surge for my Step-father about 1 1/2 yrs ago. He loved it and said it was the best multi tool he'd ever used. So I bought my own. I work in the Oil and Gas Construction Industry. When your out in the middle of nowhere and need to fix something, there isn't any mechanics around, this beauty has done the job more than once. It is extremely sturdy and weighs a bit as well. I have used mine for just about everything, even getting lunch ready for my crew. The blades are extremely sharp and the edges last. That is crucial for any knife. I've cut cans in half and still sharp as ever. The pliers/wire cutters have fixed a few broken and melted wires. The scissors are super sharp and work in a pinch. The only down side to the scissors is the little plastic hanlde, it always breaks off. The multi tip screw driver is invaluable. I would reccommend this to anyone who works in thre fields or carries a knife.

Reviews :
The tool itself is absolutely amazing. It has every tool I will ever use and then some. The full locking blades is a great easy to use feature, the pliers are very powerful, and the scissors are HUGE. Everything else on it has been just absolutely great. The leather holster is another great feature. It feels like its going to hold up forever. I would recommend this to anyone looking for something like this.
