I have been using the Charge for a few years and am very impressed, it has substituted many times for a tool I should have had with me in my profession (mechanic) quite sufficiently.

I have two waves that I never seem to located at the same time, but I usually have one on hand at any given time and they are fantastic. The best feature IMO is that you can access the knives, file and saw without opening the pliers. You just flip it up and you're off the the races.

My vote is for the Surge. More tools I'd actually use vs the wave.

Another wave for the wave

Wave for me as well, and I too use mine AT LEAST once per day.

I have a 3rd gen wave with the case permanently attached to my belt.....no one likes to clean poo off their knife or worse yet, have it silently slip off your belt when you drop your drawers ..first one snapped from trying to cut something tough with the wire cutter (on the plyers)...replaced for free...second one snapped when prying with the screwdriver...replaced for free....3rd one is going on 10 years old with no problem..i like the removable tips for the screwdriver and the fine file (touching up the buck's edge)...

I have the Surge. It's kinda heavy. I don't carry it much. It usually stays in the Jeep glovebox...

I have a charge, it's great, it's either in my bino harness or on my hit where ever I go. I wanted the wave but all the wife could find was the charge, I love it. I also have a Gerber multitool, also great but it's a little heavier, that has a home in my center console incase I forget the leatherman.

Back in 2010, I posted this about Leatherman.

" Some time ago, the tip on the blade of my old Leatherman dropped off. No, I did not use it as a lever for prying anything. It just dropped off, no prior sign of a crack, just dropped off.
On the 23rd of August, I packaged it up and sent it by XPost to Leatherman’s Warranty Service provider, Eastern Outdoor Sales in Oakville Ontario. Because I was provided with tracking, I knew that the package was delivered on the 25th.
Low and behold, on September 3rd, a package, arrived in my mailbox with this, a Leatherman Blast, in it as a replacement for the original.

Thank you Leatherman! "
Still packing the Blast daily. Did change the case, found a bargain case for a Buck and opted for that. I had replaced the Velcro a couple of times on the original so when I found the bargain Buck case it was a no-brainer.
Recently I got a couple of fingers on my left hand damaged. One had a severe impact on the finger nail, the other had a laceration that nearly cut away the finger print pad. Day 4 after the incident, the nail finger is badly swollen and had the look of infection setting in. Tried to tough it out but the pain and swelling under the nail was intensifying. Family day, nothing open here so off to RIH. While waiting for doc I pull the dressing off the finger in question. when he shows up, he says he wants to see the other finger too which is also bandaged. He's searching for some scissors to cut away the dressing and while he's looking about, I haul out my Blast, open the scissors and cut away the dressing. He gives me a funny looks and I tell him that boy scouts have to be prepared.
Rarely leave home without my Blast.
