It seems so weird that they could not have designed this better.

Ha! I've been storing my saw exactly like this for a few months. It can slide around like this, but if you push the end of the saw a little bit harder, it'll lock into place behind the blade pivot.

I personally prefer the wave+, which has both in a fixed position

Pretty cool. Gonna go do this right now

I'd like to see them add a few drill bits with this kit.

I've done something similar with an extra long jigsaw blade. I duct taped it to the scale for when I need to use it 👍

Thanks for this.

That last blade can ride between handles as long as it stays holstered. Makes all tools at hand.

Works even better with Diablo jigsaw blades as they’re a bit shorter yet thick. Can’t remember exact model num but it should be obvious. I carry one in my surge like this.

Great tip. Thanks

If the saw is strong enough to be used for sawing... then I wonder why they don't make all the blades removable. Than you could put them in any configuration you want.

The Saw is never used for any sort of levering motion, only vertical back and forth. Blades need a very strong wide base.

I've had several of them in different types. One got stolen. 3 others sit in a box ready to back for repair. The only problem is that they were discontinued and no longer able to be repaired. So much for the 25 year warranty.

I love my surge. I had the original one with the eyeglass screwdriver but the spring for it went missing. I sent it out to Leatherman for repair under warranty and they sent me a newer version. I miss the small screwdriver but like the other improvements.

Jigsaw blades.

What is and where did you get that leather case? Do they have any that hold the knpex cobras? Can you do a video on slick leather holsters that actually look nice, and hold a few essentials. That would be awesome.❤🎉

i just carry the saw blades in my wallet with irwin jig saw blades with that pouch .

I just have my sheath bursting at the seams lol

That holster tho.

Yeah if you don’t mind it scratching off your black coating. Isn’t carrying the blades in the sheath close enough?

The nylon sheath tbat comes with it has 2 pockets (or 1 *I could be wrong*) to hold the saw and/or the file with its leather holder

I had one like that, just without the removable blade. Worst decision ever. Was cutting water line and since the blade is on the outside and so is the lock, I must have bumped the lock and slam goes the blade right on my thumb. The blade needs to be on the inside so if the lock fails if won’t close on your hand. Luckily got my with about 4 stitches.

Buddy mine did that for a long time and he kept wondering why everything was starting to get loose on that once he took it out. And Leatherman actually told him to stop doing that because it's putting pressure on stuff. They also told him that it voids his warranty.

Hey man ive been loving your content lately! I have a leatherman surge problem and i was hoping maybe you could share some advice? I used it when i was fishing a few months back and i accidentally cut myself with the straight blade pretty bad but when i jerked my hand away, it bent the blade i guess? But it wasnt the blade it mustve been the little t screw that secures it, but now on the side with the blade and the little saw , whenever i try to close the blade and/or the saw, it scrapes the sides of the leatherman real bad and i guess its not centered right in the slot. Any tips would be much appreciated, ive scoured youtube and leatherman reddit to no avail.

@@maxlvledc ive tightened it down and it still does the same thing. Also its kind of hard to find a sweet spot, if i tighten it down too much then the blades dont want to open but then when i dont have it tight enough theres play in the blade, but the thing is when i have it tight, it tucks the blade in JUST enough where it doesnt scrape the insides when i close it, only problem with that is like i said before it makes it impossible to open and close with any sort of ease
