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 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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 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

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!😊

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!

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 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

I love these budget tool reviews, thank you!

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.

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 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 bought two awhile ago to vote with my money. Leatherman put the scissors on the outside of the wave

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

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.

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.

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 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. 😀

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. 😀

Thanks for the vids much appreciated… 50% is back up now btw for those wanting to get the hook up

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

Just got mine and love it but I would love a pocket clip

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!

Just if anyone is curious. The donk pocket clip for the wingman and sidekick works on the surge copy

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!

Do you know if surge tools fit in the bibury pro? I was thinking about picking up a scalpel holder for it

I recently bought the B/bury Surge clone from Amazon for $37.00.

Kool just ordered the 31 and 1 for 42 bucks thanks

This completely replaced my surge the ball detent bits make life so much easier

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.

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?

aarg! just bought the bibury surge clone for $80, and now some KZfaq guy is telling me I paid too much. oh well, I like it anyway 😂

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.

Would you recommend one of these Biburys or should I stick with the Ozark trail multiforce I already have?

Is it possible to modify the Bibury to the multiforce layout? Or is the multiforce from an other china man?

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?

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.

these are the brothers of Ozark Trail

Now we need a crunch clone !

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.

Where can I get the survivor cord that you have? I've looked for some a while back with no luck. Thanks!

is Bibury the same as Rocktol?

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?

Dominic, what is the orange piece on the hammer tool? Thanks!

Where can I get a pocket clip for the surge clone?

Is there a bibury multi tool that is around the same size a leatherman wave?

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.

Question Bibury 19in1 or Daicamping DL1…? Why? Or are they the same

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?

can you imagine if these clones had the option to upgrade the steel? at least on the knife blade.

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.

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.

Anyone have any luck finding a better sheath for the surge clone? The belt clip for the surge clone sheath is flimsy

What is difference between DL 1 vs DL30

Sadly, I can't find any BiBury Multitool in AliExpress for purchase.

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.

Are they better than Daicamping?

My saw holder bent out of shape the first time I used it

Algo

The best tool is the tool you have.

no discount code for Surge clone

Shit I could have bought all 3 for the price of my Leatherman signal!

Sorry. A like my SwissTech 17in1.

All under 40. Not for long! Lol jk.. it really do be like that though.

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

made in china no thanks
