Awesome review! As a tradesmen in the welding and ironworker industry, the Supertool 300 has come in handy when I needed it the most especially working on highrises and the majority of the tools are on ground level. I've also purchased a Surge but for some reason the 300 is what I prefer. Once again awesome comparison! Thanks for sharing!

I can't explain why but I have to admit that I just love the Rebar and Supertool. I've carried my Wave+ for a couple years now but then picked up the Rebar a few months ago. For some reason I just love that tool. Right after that I picked up the Supertool 300. I carry that now every day for work along with the bit adapter and the ratchet driver.

Nice review. I was using the Wave+ for a good while as my work EDC and it served me well but after listening to others on the internet and watching countless videos (yours included) I bit the bullet and bought a Surge just to check it out myself and I have to say it's only been about a month but it's definitely became king as far as my work edc. I'm in aviation maintenance and I supplement it with the bit extender/ratchet and bit kit so I have everything I need for those quick last minute minor repairs on me. It keeps me from having to go back to my tool bag in many cases and when the aircraft are close to departure time the quicker you can fix an item the happier everyone is ;) That being said I've been looking at the Super Tool 300M (I like the bit exchanger & small pry bar) mainly because I like the tool set on it vs the standard 300. I don't know if it will replace my Surge. I think that would take a lot ;D but I want to give it a try and have it available if nothing else. I have the Rebar too with the bit kit you showed in your video. It's a little tank of a tool. It never replaced my Wave but it's there if I need it. Anyway, great comparison, like watching your videos, you keep it to point without being biased and just put the information out there. Looking forward to your next one.

Great video man, like the in depth comparison and also the insight on the various options each tool has for bits...

Damn, I was set on the surge but your insights have new second guessing myself (which makes this a great comparison btw). Thanks for the video!

Really admire the quality content here and very nice review. Looking forward for Free P4 detailed review.

Excellent video - a wealth of detail and insight.

My personal collection, OHT, Surge and rebar. Nice video!

I have the Super Tool, ST 200 , ST 300 and the Surge. I carry the Surge most often. The ability to use the bit exchanger is the main reason.

Awesome review thank you

Perfect, exactly the comparison I was looking for. I work on the airport and all the cool kids have a multi tool. I want to get one that'll last and have all the right tools I need.

I was between the surge the wave+ the curl and the supertool 300 i finalized it to the two heaviest duty tools and that was ofc both in this video thank you so much for the video you helped me decide the one thats gonna be always gonna be with me on adventures and whatnot i chose the supertool 300

Nice review. I prefer the supertool because of the long Philips driver and the price

The supertool is honestly my favorite compared to other multi tools I’ve had. It’s opened kerosene drums that didn’t wanna uncap, kept me sane with wood carving, and helped maintain equipment. Wish the wire snipers were a bit more durable. All in all beyond worrying

Supertool and Rebar are my favorite. Old school design, lighter and nothing to exchange and loose

Great Review, I definitely struggle between the 300 and Surge. Still couldn’t make up my mind but when you showed the 300 1/4” adapter and your point about the Phillips head and finally the longer blade length I decided my 300 is the better choice. Wanted to see the Bit Kit for the 300. Never saw the fittings. Great Video and like your Commentary it’s excellent. Thanks and God Bless.🙏🏼

Nice comparison. I’ve had carrying the ST for years. Lately I’ve been considering getting the Surge. Still debating.

I bought a Surge. Now I want to customize one with the Surge! Soft drink colors and marketing.

The Supertool 300M just needs the big scissors instead of two knives and it would be perfect. A combi-knife would be fine. If you need a real knife or tool in general, then I bring a dedicated tool. A multitool is not meant to replace specialized tool, but to be something-or-nothing-tool when you need it. I've used the Supertool300 (not the M model) and the only thing I'm missing are the scissors and a bit driver. The only complaint I have is the weight; it's getting up there - to high for being comfortable to carry around all day long at work. And the Surge is even heavier and for little extra use. An improvement I would love to see in general is a scissor-style wirestripper. Electricians are some people who would get the most use out of a multitool I think. I usually carry the Rebar because it's so light and capable.

Very good comparison! I am very happy with my supertool 300 less cool factor than other multitools but a real no bs tool !

A really good review/ comparison. These decisions are always a compromise. Comfort v size /bulk v tools most used and convince. When you brought out the Knipex, that dwarfs all other pliers tools . For me i have leatherman squirt on keyring always, it's thought of as a toy yet the pliers save the day, small tasks , the file on the squirt is tiny yet capable, knife tiny but can do 80-90% of jobs . Then the Knipex 125mm covers all pliers work . Living in Scotland knife laws don't permit lock blades so that rules out most multitool. For knife and screwdriver victorinox various models, but the basic Recruit or Tourist (with can opner MOD is a must giving me a good Phillips and flat with good clearance ,not so good as that 300 supertool ) is my go to . Still i can deam about that supertool for the toolbox. Currently the leatherman skeletool cx lives there which i hate , blade is way to thick and bits fall out and get lost , worse the damn thing always nips me .

I think you really overlooked the whole t-shank ability on the surge.

8:49 you can actually put up to nine bits into the adapter frame. You can place two bits in one hole if you place them perpendiculary to their long axis (side by side). It will stretch the plastic frame a little bit but not that much that it would brake. I carry my bits like this. I placed a small rubber band over them just to make sure they won't fall out, but it seems they hold in there nicely.

Hard to say which one I prefer. I like aspects of both tools. The one-handed outside tools on the Surge are great and it’s a beast of a tool. Fit and finish on the Super Tool 300 was better for me out of the box (had to send my first Surge back for significant axial bladeplay). I think the Surge will probably be more durable over time due to its stout design.

Knipex and a Gerber Armbar and SAK classic SD EDC gold!

I have the First Version of the Super Tool, the 3D dedicated phillips screw driver is superior. I just bought a Surge at a flea market today for $10.00. I think that for myself, the Super Tool 300 has more of what I would want out of a multi tool seeing I always carry a dedicated folder. Thanx for the video my Brother 👍 ⚔️ ✝️ 🇺🇲

For me the super tool been my go to for over 15yrs now. Just purchased another with the bit driver for 70 bucks and if you loose a bit it's easy to replace than the surge.

Most of the encounters I have screws being a maintenance/hvac guy is Phillips, torx, flat, and 5/16s self tappers. Changing bits is no issue on the surge. I just worry about those springs wearing oht

3d Philips sounds good in theory until you strip it which will leave tool useless. Atleast with surge u can replace it. Great video man🤙🏽

I have both. I will say its nice to hand the supertool to someone and say 'you'll find X in there' and they can just find a tool without instruction. The surge isn't complicated but even though all the tools on the supertool are internal it means they're also easy to find.

My st300 is so smooth in its operation and I really like that but scissors and the versatility of being able to use other t shank blades puts it over for me.

Bought a surge after my ST300 fell in half after not even a year of mediocre use. Won’t settle for anything else unless it’s a MUT 😜

I'm a scissors guy.... So its the surge for me.... Just bought it 2 months ago. After years of carrying swisschamp

veri good comparison

I believe you can put double ended wiha bits in your leatherman bit kit card if you want 3d bits.

Good comparison video. I carry the Supertool 300 with a first gen universal tool adapter to use 1/4" bits and drivers. It's awesome. I'd carry a surge if it wasn't for leathermans proprietary flat bit exchanger and the wasted space the Scissors occupy. Scissors in a multi tool- For when you need to stop what you are doing and start scrapbooking! I heard Leatherman was coming out with a new larger framed tool with a complete set of knitting needles. Lol

Nice fidget tool

You can get after market saws that fit the bosh t shank. That will be even longer than the super tool and will fit in the pouch also.

Either way people in the old days wish they had these tools. All they had closely was a SAK and that was like the basic one lol

Ok so here's my take on the debate. Really, there is no world where a ST300 is beating the Surge if you're carrying the MT as a one-tool contained system. The ST300 excels in some scenarios, but the Surge can handle those adequately; however the Surge can do some things the ST300 simply can't (like replace a 1h opening knife operable with gloves on). It truly pains me to say because I absolutely love the Bond/Rebar/ST line, but let's be honest here.. if the debate is over an MT for the sake of having an MT then just buy a Surge. Or buy a Supertool first and then a Surge 6 months later so you can glove box the ST300 and never use it again lol. That being said, in my opinion, as soon as you start adding other tools and your MT becomes *part of* a multiple item system, the playing field evens very quickly between them and I imagine the decision becomes highly scenario-specific. From my experience, millwrights, HVAC, engineers, etc. gonna go with Surge every time. Because things like bit exchangers and diamond files give you the finesse you need for highly technical work. I work on a drinking water utility - there's no finesse and everything is big. I need a chunky file for knocking burrs off and scraping old greasy felt gaskets apart, big screwdriver for doing big screwdriver stuff, a way to manipulate heavy gauge tracer wire.. and the tool has to be something I can drop in the mud, pick up, hose out, and not worry about after. ST300 wins for me because I have a Milwaukee fastback and 10in channel locks beside it, and a truck full of tools beside that. It fits a niche in my kit that I don't believe a Surge would. That being said, back when I worked maintenance at a hockey arena, I shelfed the Supertool on my first day and carried a Wave (baby Surge) the entire time. If I could have afforded a Surge at the time it would have been a no-brainer.. because the need for that one-tool option was very present and you can't deny the utility of an onboard bit exchanger and diamond file working inside a facility like that. Been like a year since I posted here, but there's my thought on that! Cheers brother.

One more thing, when my ST 300 is folded, I can use the flat side(not the ruler one) as a hammer, which I think surge can't

Prefer the Super tool less moving parts less likely chance of a malfunction. Prefer the ST300s bit driver as well over the Surge.

the surge is chunky and capable, but i like the big swisstool x more, way better craftsmanship (fit and finish, walk and talk are in its own league)

Can anybody tell me what that special bit kit that he has for the supertool?

Supertool 300 👍😎🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

Both of them have Lanyard hole

What's the hook on the medium flat tip?

Where can I buy the bit for the 300

So biyest towards the supertool

THE MAIN DIFFERENCE IS THE $PRICE$ , I PREFER 🇺🇸SUPER TOOL 300

I like the Leatherman super tool 300 I have one the biggest problem I have with it is it's hard to tune to tighten when it's loose but I like it the main reason I like it it doesn't have scissors I would have bought a surge but my problem with the surge is the damn scissors I think scissors are the most useless thing to put in a working man's tool I understand you can modify them but it seems to me you should be able to buy one that doesn't have the scissors in it they should have a model that doesn't have the damn scissors they are useless I don't know anybody and I know a lot of people with leathermans and multi tools of different types I don't know any of these people that have found any use for them scissors they are 90% useless they just take space I think the surge is a far better tool as far as the way is made over the super tool 300 but the damn scissors they need to do away with the scissors they're useless for a working man or make one that doesn't have them put something else in there that's more useful

Has the scale right there but never gives the weight, what an amateur.

If these two are the biggest and baddest why does the charge g10 and charge plus cost almost 200 bucks
