For craft or whatever emergency use, it can be used to quickly repair almost anything at home or on the road. The Surge convinces with 21 functions and 2 bits (cross and flat slot). Due to this large number of tools, it is somewhat thicker and heavier than other Leatherman multifunctional tools, but it fits unsurpassed well in the hand.
The opened multitool offers (needle-nose) pliers with crimping, locking and crimping function as well as wire cutters (normal, hard wire, stranded wire). Saw and file (for wood or metal and a diamond-coated file) are interchangeable, the holder for this is also suitable for jigsaw blades. It also has a pair of scissors, 2 knives (420-HC smooth ground and 420-HC serrated), a stripping blade, a blade changer, an awl (with eye), 2 bit holders (large, small), a large screwdriver, a bottle opener and can opener and a ruler (length 19 cm).

The idea for a multifunction tool came to American engineer Tim S. Leatherman in 1968 when his car broke down during a trip to Poland. In 1975-1980, he developed such a tool and has been producing it in Portland, Oregon ever since. The successful product called quite a few imitators on the scene, but they are all inferior in quality to the original, which is still produced in the USA.
We have carried the Leatherman® Tools in our range for years. Anyone who owns one of these multitools takes it with them on every trip, every hike and every vacation - we can tell you this from our own experience - and some people even take it with them every day. And although the areas of application of the first Leatherman® tools were versatile, Leatherman® has developed them further and added both smaller and larger models to them, adapting them in an even more differentiated manner to the respective areas of application and users. Therefore, for example, in addition to the classic Wave+, we can also offer the Surge for crafts and repair or the Signal for outdoor enthusiasts.

This multifunctional tool features lockable blades one can open with one hand. In the narrower sense, multifunctional devices with lockable blades are no weapons; therefore, the German Weapons Act does not apply, and they may be sold freely. Nevertheless, we expressly want to bring to your attention the general ban on carrying this form of a knife in public in Germany. When carrying knives and tools with lockable blades outside your home and property, you have to lock the device in a container. See §42a WaffG for further information.
