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 know but SKINTH SOLUTIONS. They make all kinds of pouches. Anything you want all sizes.

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.

I looked at those but heard very mixed things. Seems the universal socket worked for you so that’s great

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*.

Plot twist: it makes him so mighty that he achieves World domination during the first two seasons

😄👍

Worked with a fella that was in love with that show, he constantly made references to ‘MacGyver’. This from a guy that would struggle to open the hood on his vehicle. Never watched the show. Lol

That would be an overkill. MacGyver is totally fine with hair pin.

I like to overdo everything

Yes sir I’m also addicted

Not vlog multi tool addicted

Ha, sorry...not sorry

Glad you liked it, was a lot of fun figuring this out

Lmao, how the hell would it save someone’s life?

@@ohanaross-roberts97 I smell the scent of a man who pays people to do things for him like oil changes and laundry. If you don't understand the why, that's ok. That means you aren't meant to and its not knowledge the type of person you are would possess. Carry on. Good journey.

🤣🤣🤣

@@LoneWarrior. lmao I work construction, and do all the work on my two motorcycles and car myself.

Wow, that's quite a compliment. Enjoy!

Oh it's you again, boomer

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.

Glad it was helpful!

Glad it was helpful!

Cool, we're gear bros

That's the plan!

Who makes a quality adjustable wrench that small? Sloppy adjustable wrenches are bad for you knuckles and your project.

Lots of people have suggested to just angle the longer blades, or file them down a bit

I still love my Surge but be warned it’s pretty heavy so I don’t carry it like my pocket knife. I grab it when I need to do a small project and leave it in the car as a mini toolbox

Yeah, a wave is a much better everyday option. The surge is just too heavy for that so I figured I might as well go all the way

@@todd.parker I find myself using a juice s2 alot for a lightweight edc. It's not as capable but the best tool for the job is the one you have on you lol!

@@chriswayman7240 I’ve been mulling over getting a smaller Leatherman for an EDC, just carry a small knife today

@@todd.parker well I have the s2 and the bigger one. I would say that the bigger juice is a little too big for a light edc but you get a much smaller tool set on the s2. The main things I want all the time is a short Phillips for kids toy batteries, scissors for all around utility, pliers for when I need to grab something. It would be nice to have a longer standard for prying and scraping but no such luck on the s2. Honestly my ideal tool would be a super tinker victoronox with an awl instead of a "hook" and a small set of 3 inch knipex channel locks

@@todd.parker the smaller juice is definitely a lighter duty set of pliers and non replacement wire cutters.

Ha, good to hear

Glad to hear it!

Good idea. You could also just pocket carry it with a small sheath for accessories. I'd recommend skipping the sockets - it's pretty heavy on a belt!

Wow that’s great

Glad you liked it, you’ll love your Surge!

Mind meld

Jinx. You gotta love the UKposts algorithm

Great to hear!

If you can have he the extra tool, the separate micro rachet is really useful and means you can take it easy on your Leatherman

Leatherman sells a ratchet now.

Hey thanks! Everyone needs something a little different, that’s the fun, right?

Going to add a 12oz hammer next. Kidding.

Your setup sounds great. Maybe I just got a bad pouch but it was super disappointing.

Oh nice. Do you use those with a ratchet?

@@todd.parker yes, I get a better momentum with it.

I just got a wave plus and love the thing. Cutters are nice and sharp, used it on some old useless ethernet and then satellite tv cord, cut through it real smooth, sharp blade, serrated is great aswell. Overall love the thing. Handy for carrying around instead of finding 15 different tools all which don't work. I'm sure the Surge is the real deal for just the most diverse extreme repairs just i thought id try the wave to see how i like them.

I dont really see the need for a light if that size personally, the phone covers that job quite well and it is always in the pocket :)

@@christianjensen405 There are places and jobs I don't want to stick my phone to see. A phone light also has one wider beam while a pen light can go over a small area or job such as putting your hand with the light into the hood of a car to find the issue(s). The pen light fits in MANY, if not all, of the sheath options for the Leatherman Surge that Leatherman and even other companies sell so it can be very easily accessed from my belt. If you are bending over and doing things that require just a small beam instead of the light output of a phone there are many reasons that electricians, mechanics, and tradesman keep a pen light on them. It can also allow you to shine the light on an issue and use your phone for just the photo or note aspect on an issue as well. As someone who does have to lock my phone for security reasons and my hands may be "well worn" so the finger print button only works so well if I have worked really hard and my hands have worn down or even when I have recently put lotion on a external light is much easier than taking out my phone in a Otterbox case(because it is around heavy and large smashy things) and then potentially taking off my gloves and depending on feature needed, needing to unlock the phone. A small pen light to whip out is much easier. My phone will also not be covered in everything from manure to mud and wet sloppy snow and require cleaning. It costs me time to take off my gloves and even finger swipe to get the phone light one vs a button I can push with my gloves still on, even winter gloves. I'd rather a pen light be "harmed" for less than $100 than a several hundred dollar or even over a thousand dollar (not mine, but some are) phone. You can see into pipes, crevices, and even containers such as checking fluids on a car that can be hard to see or down a pipe. A phone would not allow for this and does obstruct your view. A good pen light is easily rechargeable and will last for years even when dropped or in "unkind" situations. This is why tradesmen/women prefer pen lights over phone lights.

Thats a good idea, I wonder how much strength the surge bit holder has, that's what worries me

@@happytrails5342 Not sure if anyone's stress tested it, I'd imagine the failure point would be a ratchet mechanism or perhaps if there was any play between the sprung pieces within the socket. Mine are very tightly packed so feel very positive when in use.

@@nathangutteridge2376 yeah? If I used just the but extender no ratchet, I feel like the failure would be in the H shaped bottom of the bit holder. But still feels crazy strong

@@happytrails5342 I think you're probably right, plus I don't think using it that way would apply anywhere close to enough torque to risk failure

@@nathangutteridge2376 yeah fair enough!

I have the small knipex now and they are great. I put together a proper tool bag recently but it’s a bit bigger than a car kit. More of a around the house and portable tool set. Maybe I’ll make a video, people love tools!

@@todd.parker absolutely. I'd love to see that took bag as well. Need inspiration to make mine too.

Yeah, I bet with some work it would stretch out, thanks!

Very welcome!

Yes, or a Knipex 125 or XS

Glad you liked it!

Wow, thanks!

I envy your son haha I’m sure he’ll love it

That's a good call!

It is a beast to carry but feels so good in your hand. Beefy.
