Leatherman Surge Ultimate organizer and kit: ratchet, socket set, bit kit, measuring tape
Рет қаралды 732,749
Күн бұрынI wanted a truly useful toolkit I could toss in a bag and bring anywhere so I built a pretty over the top kit based around the Leatherman Surge with bit kits, extender, extra t-shank metal and wood saws, and a complete socket set from 8-19mm, all in a small carrying case. It's not something you'd belt carry but it's tiny and easy to keep in the car or toss in a bag and be ready for a ton of situations. Amazon links are affiliate and support the channel.

You may already know but SKINTH SOLUTIONS. They make all kinds of pouches. Anything you want all sizes. Edit: those camera bags fall apart I've tried them. Now don't get me wrong I've not bought any skinth pouches but it's all Ive found that is a good custom option that hand made for gear by a guy who couldn't find what he wanted so he made it his self.

You may already be aware of this, but there are these cool sockets I bought off Amazon callled "Gator Grip". There are two different sized versions, both USA made. They work in a pinch and I carry mine with me everywhere alongside my SOG multitool (has a standard bit holder center mounted, which is nice). Just to warn you, they are are awesome, but they aren't a replacement for my SK set, nor the Wright set I inherited from my grandfather. I also don't much care if I lose one of my Gator Grips.

good kit. I suggest maybe a small many 16's crescent that opens to 3/4" and a Japanese crescent wrench. I often carry those two and have some other tools and I fix multi-million dollar machines sometimes with just what's in my pockets. I have been looking for a new multi tool. and based upon this review I will now carry the surge in my EDC fix most shit kit. . *thank you*.

I just ordered most of what was on your list. I needed a small kit that could do 80-90% of jobs I do at work, and fit in a go bag. Thanks. Edit: I just received my Surge and I am absolutely in Awe of how sharp the blade came. I don’t think I’ve ever received a knife that would shave hair out of the box. The fit and finish of the tool is pristine. For 3/4 of the transformation it is smooth, last quarter is where everything tightens into place. There is absolutely no wiggle or flex. It is a straight up beast of a tool. It fit perfectly into a leather pancake holster I bought for a Gerber Suspension. I barely notice the extra weight between Suspension and Surge when it’s on my Kore Gun belt. Although I wanted the Black and stainless version, I have to say the all stainless is a beauty. It really is nice tool of marvel and ingenuity. My only regret is not buying it years sooner. But I suspect this will last me into my old age.

I think you’ve got it a little bit twisted, sir. Leatherman does not make professional tools. They are intended to be more of a last resort in emergency situations. I’m an electrician and would never use my leatherman on a job. Professionals use dedicated tools. Seeing a fellow electrician or any other tradesman use one of these on a job would be absolutely cringe-worthy.

OMG. This is exactly the type of tool set that I want for EDC. I can pull out the Surge for actual carry but have the kit for bike rides, hiking, backpacking, etc. More importantly, I can get a bicycle multi-tool separately and bike repair kit to put in my rack for longer rides on my trike. Amazing. I will start gathering the items now. The primary reason for the Surge is the replaceable saw blades. You can find sets with different teeth per inch for differing projects or results. Adding in the fire starter was genius. I might even find that replacement whistle from the outdoor version to pop in there in case I ride over a cliff.

I too use camera bags for mini-BOBS or Go-Bags. Another option is to use Thule bags which you sort have considered at the beginning of your video but their brand are thicker and higher quality. I use one to keep all my diabetic supplies and another for writing supplies but they would great for a Surge toolkit. First aid, fire starting, and water filtration kits are other important things to put into these types of camera bags.

excellent video Todd! I am a long time surge fan, it's got me through many a job. One technique I use is opening the tool halfway into an L-shape when using the screwdriver. It can give some good leverage. The only thing that finally broke it was opening coconuts in the Philippines! First the knife to cut off the husk, then I would use the awl to punch a hole and then the saw to cut a window to drink the coconut water inside. Even then it didn't break fully just got loose and they still replaced it for free.

With a pen, all the tools on the surge, and a flashlight it's like the ultimate EDC tool for most uses. :) Leatherman makes some great stuff. With how many times I've been super glad to have it with me it was totally worth the $95 it cost.

It also comes in a coyote scales, with black tools color scheme. It is meant to be a poor man’s MUT.

I enjoyed this very much. I am not alone in this world. I am similarly obsessive in this regard. It all started for me with the Choinard (Patagonia) expedition sewing kit (maybe 1980). I had several over the years, and then started making them myself. The little kit became a substantially larger one that covers a wider range of field repairs, but it is modular so that it can be separated and used based on the specific activity. I also put together a miniature tool kit specific to my bicycle with the help of the Snap-on tool guy and Park Tools that I have been using for 20 years.

Because if you're only own one set, and you lose one, you don't have none! But if you have two, and lose one, you still have one!

Been there got the t-shirt. My solution was two pouches. The standard pouch for the surge and a second leatherman pouch (small) for the accessories and extender. I have a small flashlight too (v. usefull!). As I have more than one leatherman this split works really well. Ok, it does take up space on the belt but then you don't need both all the time. I don't have sockets. It seems to me that if sockets are required then you're going beyond a multitool and looking at a larger tool kit.

Great kit setup. Plenty of great ideas for my own kit build. the only thing I’ll change is swapping the sockets for a small 100mm Adjustable spanner - if I need sockets then a proper toolkit might be the go. But great video thank you for sharing!

Awesome Solution! I like this. A friend JUST bought me the Leatherman Surge for Christmas, I will be looking into something like this! Thank you for the great tips!

Great job! ignore the dislikes, they themselves are just a bunch of tools with a few screws loose.

Yep, it’s great. I’ve removed some sockets to lighten it up but I still use it all the time

The stealth you ordered off Amazon is made for the smaller leatherman tools. The XL is made for the larger tools like the Surge.

I was really impressed with this video. I’m looking for a new multi tool and I think I want this one. I really like the fact that you use these items and you have adapted it to your needs. Thank you.

Great video that shows the versatility of the Surge. I just bought my first multitool (Skeletool), now I'm thinking I want to get a Surge. Thanks for the video.

Its a pretty neat setup. In a survival or even car pack it could be perfect add-on

I’d put in the kit 1/4 breaker bar to extend the life of that micro ratchet and the surge as well.
@stevenc6256 7 ай бұрын
excellent review. Minus the ratched, I have an older model of this tool. The camera case is a great idea.

A little late but uncle Mike's sliver gripper tweezers are great for tiny stuff, metal splinters, and even have a keychain hanger.
