Today, we're taking a look at the improved Surge  multi-tool. To be sure, if you are serious about Prepping, Survival, hunting or working around your homestead - you absolutely, should have a multi-tool on-hand. My "Blast" Leatherman (sadly, now discontinued) is on my belt every single day, right there, next to my spare magazine, for whatever handgun I'm packing. And, it goes without saying, the multi-tool is used a lot more than my handgun is.

The Leatherman "Surge" is one of the two largest multi-tools, that Leatherman manufactures - and that's not to say they are overly large, they are not! I've seen some pretty huge multi-tools over the years, and while they were workhorses, they were just too big to carry on my belt or in a pocket. Closed length of the new Surge is 4.5-inches, and it weighs in at 12.5-ounces. Yes, it's a little bit on the heavy side, however, for all it does, it really isn't too heavy in my humble opinion.
