I edc one of these. My wife finally upgraded me from my wave of over 15 years last Christmas. The shears are amazing, great grip strength and usability on the pliers, and feels good in hand when using the saw, can opener, or other tools. Yes, its heavy. But I love that, I have a fairly heavy EDC, so it doesn't bother me on my hip, but yep. King.
I use my Surge with bit kit/extension at work and it’s great 👍 My Surge doesn’t have the micro driver, it has a small flat tip between the awl and large flat tip. Was this changed later? Thanks for sharing!
What you refer to as a V-shank is actually known as a Gut Hook, really handy when you want to make a dedicated depth cut like when gutting a fish... Probably where it got the name "Gut HooK"
Surge is still a king when U really need bigger and stronger. I have that gen2 Surge. Bought that minibitdriver from Ebay and changed that smaller flat driver for that. Need to grind maybe 2mm off to get tool close completely. I just dont understand where do U need that smaller flat because U allready have that normal bitdriver with about same size flat bit on that..Gen1 has that minibit but gen2 doesnt. Anyways Surge is not my EDC. Too big and heavy for my taste. ARC and Charge tti+ are my choise for EDC.

I’ve had my surge since 2012 😮 I’m gonna send it in for a day spa. Def needs resharpening and my flathead/prybar broke off
That means it was a defective unit. Shouldn't have broke. But that's what you get for only 70% made in usa.

EDC - SOG Powerpint

mines coming tomorrow, can’t wait
@@cheezy39 enjoy
Dont forget to buy t-shank blades for it. longer for wood and for metal. the default saw is not enough aggresive for wet, live wood.
@@appleztooranges i got it and i love it but is there any way of making it less stiff other than time
@@cheezy39 I use ballistal on the joints. It’s a great lubricant that will loosen things up
@@appleztooranges thanks 👍
O yes the king 👑

@@uliman100 it’s my favorite tool on a multitool
King.
I can’t lie I’m really controversial I love the leatherman Arc but that’s just me it’s got all the tools and more that I need
