Like it or not leatherman are pricing themselves out ive been a loyal leatherman customer for years and still have the supertool 300 and squirt. I recently lost my surge but i cant justify £160 on a new one it is getting to be stupid money when while maybe lacking the quality there are clones like this for 1/3 the price

I also have old version - and when I saw this one on amazon - immediately ordered it. The funniest part is - I proposed them this scales design when I contacted Bibury store about broken file in the old version, and they really made it! I was blown off when saw it! Love this tool.

I bought the previous iteration Bibury DL-30 clone (non-black), got 40% off one day on amazon. My favorite thing about it is actually the weight - I have used it as a hammer a couple of times

Thanks for the vid been checking this out but like your magnet hack👍

I really like that color..

G'day Sir. We feel there is nothing wrong in making copies or clones, as along as the changes/improvement made are functional & has some durability, furthermore not having to use proprietary addition. Think Leatherman have caught up with that mentality including others as well. Yeah...we use magnets too with our mods. Work smart, not hard.! It good to see the underdogs are catching up & moving up the ladder. With current world situation, affordability is great marketing. There's a lot more blue collar workers than white collar. Cheers mate from Australia.

I picked up one for 30-ish usd and got the 4 year warranty for 7$ and it's a great competitive tool. If I was Leatherman, I'd be worried about there being copies out there that are on par with their best stuff. The only differences between the Surge and the Bibury/Di30 are the 2D proprietary bits vs the 3D bits. For 30$ & the 4 yr warranty compared to around 200$ for the Surge, both bit kits and bit extender, I'm very happy with the Bibury.

The other difference is the "t-shank". It's not a real one, it doesn't fit t-shank tools from other manufacturers. So people need to be aware of that. It's a big no for me.

I like the tuxedo two tone, something different. I just buy whatever I can for the best price. Do you put up an artificial or real tree for the holidays? I like the saw implement on bigger multitools like this Surge clone for light pruning purposes. I pruned the bottom of the Christmas tree with my Leatherman Arc. The saw is very similar to the Wave (second generation and plus) its rounded at the tip and no nail nick. Same pattern and very aggressive. I've had the Arc for a month and its doing well. I do miss my Wave, Curl and Bond in the drawer but also enjoy the Rev as my secondary carry. I'm using the Arc 95% of the time. I opened two cans of cranberry sauce with the Rev over Thanksgiving. Its nice being a bit more prepared than just carrying a dedicated knife around. Cheers to multitools, Mr. Kincaid!

Very much so. It's like price difference between the nextool flagship with the blade exchanger and the standard with the knife. Come to think of it they would probably make a small fortune just selling the blade exchanger.

I agree!

I stuck with the daicamping DL30 cuz it’s way easier to store tweezers with the larger skeletonized holes in the handles. Plus makes it kinda lighter. Idm the handle material tbh it doesn’t make much of a difference from 2-3 cr. It’s the 7cr blade that really makes the difference. Plus the gold/bronze version on the daicamping with the colour options is just as cool as the black and silver imo. Gold/bronze is different. Black and silver are very common tho it’s one of my favourite colour combos as well. But u lose the ability to put tweezers as easily on the bibury. It’s more of a tight space and would scratch against those nice black coloured tools. And tbh not a fan of black tools they just get banged up anyway. Got them on my wave and surge. For me tweezers matter because they’re a portable compass. Need easy access to them

Sorry for the late reply. Just saw this and thanks for the response! Yes I do! It works great. I usually keep it with the file so doesn’t scratch against the blades. Can fit in a bunch of other stuff too cuz the skeletonised cut outs are massive. Makes it probably weigh less too that the others like the swiss tech version as well. I just use tweezers a lot but maybe that’s just me!

Im glad these things are getting closer and closer to overpriced LM
