Description

The Leatherman Surge is one of our biggest and strongest multi-tools, engineered with large pliers, long blades, and a rugged frame built to handle demanding work. Whether you’re on a professional job site or tackling a serious weekend project, the Surge delivers the strength and versatility to get it done. Four outside-opening tools provide fast access without unfolding the entire tool, saving time when every second counts. Each one locks securely into place for safety and control—so you can cut, twist, grip, or turn with confidence. Its unique blade exchanger adds even more capability, allowing you to swap between a saw and a file depending on the task. That adaptability makes it easy to move from rough cuts to fine shaping without reaching for another tool. Designed for heavy-duty performance, the Surge offers the leverage, reach, and durability needed for tougher materials and bigger jobs. Trusted by electricians, mechanics, construction professionals, and dedicated DIYers alike, it’s built to perform year after year. From fixing and building to staying prepared for the unexpected, the Surge helps you accomplish more with a single, compact powerhouse that’s ready for whatever the day demands. Sheath sold separately.
