    Hello friend. I was frustrated with the scissors too. Here’s the trick. Pull out the scissors and once they clear the handle, open the blades all the way. Push them up and the back lock
    will click and engage the tension bar. Good luck

    I just bought a Used Leatherman Surge at a flee market for $10.00 yesterday. The can opener is broken, so I'll be having it replaced.
    Thanx for the video my Brother 👍 ⚔️ ✝️ 🇺🇲

    The little “nick” you mentioned as a wire stripper is not!!! Check out a set of replacement blades and you’ll see the “little nick” will not be present. The “v” in the can opener is for stripping the wire’s insulation. Thanks

    Great video! I use the same system of carry. I have a vertical sheath with both bit kits, extender and some Bosch saws I use on the job. Off the job I have a custom horizontal sheath. I highly recommend horizontal with tool only carry. You really forget it's there. When I'm off the clock I don't mind walking to the truck for a bit or extender. My vertical sheath is also custom leather. If you get a master leather craftsman you'll buy once, cry once. My grandson should be using the same cases and leatherman. SUBSCRIBED!!

    I had to send my Surge in for repair due to a loose interior tool lock. I ended up buying a second one so I wouldn’t have to be without it. They do a really good job on the repairs though. They replaced my screwdriver bit, the large flathead that had some wear, my scissors, and both knife blades. Cleaned and oiled too.

    Hi thanks for a good review. I edc surge all the time except on bed. Yes agree, can't send it away just for repair. I prefer the steel look over black oxide because I use it for food preparation also. I have wave plus & charge tti, have to say surge just much much more reliable. Every night before sleep I just flip over all external tool just to hear the loud locking sound, make me feel safe & ready to protect my family, just in case. anyway thanks for a great review

      Hey there! Does the tool open and close properly? Smoothly? Everything operate nice? It is normal for it to be a little stiff when it’s brand new and will loosen up with time. If it’s not lining up, and the tool isn’t functioning properly I would return it to the store.
