So what makes the Leatherman Surge different from the Leatherman Wave? The most notable thing is that the Surge is fitted with the company's biggest pliers. The multi tool also boasts its longest blades. This product, just like any product made by Leatherman, is built to go the distance but this one looks tougher than smaller models. The Surge is definitely a more serious work horse because of its size. It boasts 18 standard Leatherman tools and its two interchangeable blades.

The Leatherman Surge Tool, with its substantial knives and pliers has a really steadfast feel to it. This model also has a thread looped awl that the Wave does not have. If you require a tool with tougher knives and pliers for heavier tasks, the Surge is a perfect option. But since it is heavier than the Leatherman Wave Multi Tool, it is impossible to attach to your belt. This multi tool is better carried inside a bag.

For everyday, easier tasks the Leatherman Wave is still preferred by a great number of people, in particular those who simply need a handy tool for the purpose of general use and not used for a profession. Women also prefer the Leatherman Wave because, well, it is cuter, of course and can easily fit in their purse as it is lightweight. It can carried with ease on a belt or attached to keychain. The Wave gained more popularity when it was enhanced and upgraded in 2004. The main feature that catapulted the sales of the multi tool is its all locking blades that a user can open with just one hand, not to mention sporting stronger knives, tools and pliers. The Leatherman Wave would unqestionably have become the perfect pocket multi tool had it also benefited from the interchangeable blades feature of the Leatherman Surge.

The Leatherman Surge Multi Tool has a small flaw though, you can pinch your skin while opening and closing some of the tools. Opening and closing the tools also requires a little extra effort. Despite this and as stated, it is just a small flaw that won't even influence the image of the product.

We cannot say that the Leatherman Surge is better than the Leatherman Wave because it is built for a special purpose - for tougher jobs. If you think you need a multi tool for easier tasks, the Wave is a fantastic choice. Whichever you choose, you can rest assured that you are buying a quality and durable product that only the Leatherman Group can deliver. Aside from this, you can never go wrong with Leatherman as the entire range of products are guaranteed for 25 years. If you need to see other excellent products from the Leatherman Group, the internet is a good place to start.
