So why is the Leatherman Surge different from the Leatherman Wave? For one thing, the Surge features Leatherman's largest pliers. The tool also has its longest blades. This gadget, just like any product created by Leatherman, is built to last but this one looks even stronger than other models. The Surge is definitely a more considerable work horse due to its size. It features 18 regular Leatherman tools and its two interchangeable blades.

The Leatherman Surge Tool, with its large knives and pliers has a really robust feel to it. Additionally this model has a thread looped awl that the Wave does not have. If you are seeking a tool with heavy duty knives and pliers for heavier jobs, the Surge is a perfect candidate. But since it is heavier than the Leatherman Wave Multi Tool, it is difficult to attach to your belt. It is a better option to carry this multi tool in a rucksack.

For daily, easier jobs the Leatherman Wave is still preferred by many people, especially those who simply need a useful tool for the purpose of general use and not not necessarily for professional work. Women tend to like the Leatherman Wave because, well, it is cuter, of course and can easily fit in their handbag as it is lightweight. It can easily be carried on a belt or attached to keyring. The Wave became even more popular when it was improved and upgraded 6 years ago. The main feature that significantly improved the sales of the multi tool is its all locking blades that can be opened with just one hand, without mentioning its enhanced knives, tools and pliers. The Leatherman Wave would unqestionably have become the best pocket multi tool if it also benefited from the interchangeable blades feature of the Leatherman Surge.

The Leatherman Surge Multi Tool has one minor flaw though, your skin can get pinched while opening and closing some of the tools. Opening and closing the tools also requires a bit more work. Despite this and as stated, it is a minor flaw that won't even have an effect on the image of the product.

We cannot say that the Leatherman Surge is better for you than the Leatherman Wave because it has been designed for a special purpose - for heavier tasks ahead. If you think you need a multi tool for more simple tasks, the Wave is a superb choice. Whichever you choose, you can be certain that you have bought a quality and durable product that only the Leatherman Group can come up with. Aside from this, you can never go wrong with Leatherman as all products are guaranteed for 25 years.
