Leatherman Surge And Leatherman Wave - A Closer Look At Two Leading Leatherman Products, Both Make A Superb Buy
So what makes the Leatherman Surge different from the Leatherman Wave? The most notable thing is that the Surge includes the company's largest pliers. The product also has its longest blades. This tool, just like any product created by Leatherman, is built to go the distance but this one looks even stronger than its predecessors. The Surge proves to be a more considerable work horse because of its size. It boasts 18 regular Leatherman tools and its two interchangeable blades.
The Leatherman Surge Tool, with its large knives and pliers has a really dependable feel to it. This model also has a thread looped awl that cannot be found in the Wave. If you are need of a tool with heavy duty knives and pliers for challenging tasks, the Surge is a perfect option. But since it is far heavier than the Leatherman Wave Multi Tool, it is impossible to carry it on your belt. It is a better option to carry this multi tool in a rucksack.
For daily, more simple jobs the Leatherman Wave is still preferred by many people, mainly those who merely need a useful tool for the purpose of general use and not used for a profession. Women tend to like the Leatherman Wave because of its appearance, of course and can easily fit in their purse because of its lighter weight. It can carried with ease on a belt or attached to keyring. The Wave became even more popular after it was enhanced and upgraded in 2004. One of the main reasons that significantly improved the sales of the multi tool is its all locking blades that can be opened with only one hand, not to mention sporting tougher knives, tools and pliers. The Leatherman Wave could have become the perfect pocket multi tool if it also benefited from the interchangeable blades feature of the Leatherman Surge.
The Leatherman Surge Multi Tool has one minor imperfection though, you can pinch your skin while opening and closing some of the tools. Opening and closing the tools also requires a little extra work. Well, as stated, it is just a small flaw that won't even transform the image of the product.
We are unable to say that the Leatherman Surge is better than the Leatherman Wave because it has been manufactured for a special purpose - for tougher work. If you think you need a multi tool for more simple tasks, the Wave is a brilliant choice. Whichever you choose, you can rest assured that you have bought a quality and long-lasting product that only the Leatherman Group can deliver.
