I've carried the Surge for some time. I love it, it's done great by me. Saved my ass many times. No problems except when I'm out and about I feel like I have a Batman type utility belt around my waist. Firearm, extra mag or two, phone, multi tool. It's bulky so any suggestions for a multi tool that's a bit less like I'm carrying a brick on my waist? This is the Surge.

SOG Powerlock, pliers are awesome. It's a few ounces lighter, closed - it's about 0.1" longer. ...let him who has no sword sell his robe and buy one. Luke 22:35-36 NAV "Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; so be shrewd as serpents and innocent as doves." Matthew 10:16 NASV | |||

I've been using my own Surge over the last 18 months or so. Amazingly complete for my typical needs, yet it does weigh a lot and is bulky. The best temporary solution I've come up with, is to have it 'somewhere near' when I need it. **************~~~~~~~~~~ "I've been on this rock too long to bother with these liars any more." ~SIGforum advisor~ "When the pain of staying the same outweighs the pain of change, then change will come."~~sigmonkey | |||

Try the Wingman. Way lighter. I love the Surge, but it is too heavy for daily carry. I love the Wave, but sometimes I want to go lighter than that. I daily carry the Skeletool sometumes, but the pliers are super small and lots of reports of them breaking. I decided to give the Wingman a try. - big pliers. - one hand open knife and scissors - light weight - pliers are spring loaded, which it turns out I love! - $29 bucks | |||

Charge TTI. Essentially the same tools but about 2/3 the weight. Been carrying one for about 15 years. Still a little heavy, but not too much so at around 8.5 oz. The Surge is 12.5. ________________________________________________________ "Great danger lies in the notion that we can reason with evil." Doug Patton. | |||

Exact same configuration here. Skeletool CX though. “The urge to save humanity is almost always only a false-face for the urge to rule it.”—H.L. Mencken | |||
