No nonsense intro, no 5 minutes of talking about the history of the tool. Just a nice well put video, straight to the point. Thank you!

finally, a review with someone that actually uses his tools!

Hey, I really appreciate this comparison video! This was extremely helpful!

I sadly lost my Wave when I put it down during a temporary repair while I was in a rush..drove off and when I realised it wasn’t there I went back and looked where I’d parked and it was gone. So need to replace it. Was just going to get another but a guy at work had a Surge which has made me think about that instead… both are great but the Surge definitely seems heavier duty and I love the replaceable blades etc.. thanks for the review!..

Great Review. I have both the Leatherman Wave+ and Surge. They are both very useful in various Utility functions and tasks.

I've noticed that no one ever mentions the lanyard loop hidden in the saw blade slot of the wave+. That's interesting. It's not a very often used feature but in the winter it's handy for cold hands.

Great Vid! I have a Black and a Silver Surge and they're outstanding. Nonetheless, I often reach for my Charge Titanium. The Wave+ seems nearly identical to the Charge TI with primary differences being the Charge's Titanium scales and the Wave+'s disc like main tool pivots.

If you use it in your business buy the Surge. It's a beast.

I kinda wish Leatherman would do a Surge XL... 12oz - 12.5oz is no big deal if your carrying it on a sheath. The weight issue is way over blown... You can tell some people haven't ever walked around with a 40+lb tool belt before. 12oz is not bad at all. I really like the Bosch T-shank adapter. I use it almost as much as the blade & pliers... The only thing I would add is a single bevel scraper. I really like the Surge platform

Thanks i'm going for the leatherman surge

I have both but prefer the Wave because I tend to carry it more often. The Surge pretty much lives in my back pack.

I've been carrying a Leatherman sidekick since 2016 & I'm thinking it's time for an upgrade but I have needs for it. All the tools have to lock open and I need a pocket clip

Man I wish they made the oht with that replaceable saw. I'd happily do away with the bottle opener or one of the redundant flatheads. I'm having serious decision making problems lmao 🤣 but I do apartment maintenance on 100 apartments and do rc car repairs on the weekends at the local hobbyshop. So I would seriously put on to so good use lol.

If you carry your wave like I do every day, the belt clip is a must

The thing is the parts on any of these Leathermans are replaceable. Pretty awesome

In a normal plier the wire cutters are not replaceable! How cool this device is? 1000%

Imagine having a slot only for the rachet bit driver instead of the two flat driver and on the other side are the awl and can opener and maybe the eyeglass repair. Just imagine that leatherman.

I got me a Wave+ because of the weight. And because I don't use it on any "heavy duty" stuff. On your Surge you see why the black color is kind of stupid. As soon you start using your tool the black "color" wears quickly off. As the manufacturing quality at Leatherman can be better you see the silver scratches on your pliers. I would always recommend the silver multitool (not just from Leatherman) as the black stuf is always wearing off. Even on your fingers. A friend of me has a Surge. He is using it more for loosening bolts and stuff...so more heavy duty. He is also very happy with his.

Wave for me. I've used them for 20 years + (scissors are rubbish though).

It's the surge for me. Because of the better bigger scissors

The Surge definitely goes in any go bag. But unless you sport a 20lb capacity battle belt everyday, then the wave is the edc winner. I love my surge, but man oh man when I put my wave on the belt and forget it’s there until I need it, that’s a great tool.

thank you

it's the weight. wave plus for me

Which one is more handy for a maintenance/hvac technician?

Great review thanks!

Nice

Does the wave come with a pocket clip?

Wave it's enough for me

Iron solding air hot station

Get both

If you need a wood saw only for dry (dead) wood, not on regular basis and only for a small section, Wave is better. But on Surge one can equip longer and more aggresive tshank woodsaws or metal saw or even kriss blade for linoleum and rubber.

Leatherman does NOT provide lifetime warranty: I have heard that 25 years is the warranty for Leatherman. Victorinox provides lifetime warranty.

I wanna monster in my pocket. Surge it is.

If leathermen included a 1/4 bit holder for either of these I'd be instantly sold the fact you have to bring and buy additional tools defeats the purpose of a multitool but leathermen is the best quality

It's not the size of ur tool it's what I do with it.

Surge. You simply can't get as much leverage on the wave.

The surge cannot be an edc due to its weight. For that reason the wave wins every time.
