This tool does exactly what you expect, without any drama.  It's not spectacular, except in the sense there are no bad surprises with it.

I'll definitely order more when someone steals the one I have.

The leatherman surge is a great tool to have around the house.  It is great for those odd jobs that you don't want to go to the garage and break out the tool box for.  It makes life easier to have a variety of tools within one easy to use item.  The leatherman is sturdy, pocket size and has a tool for every job you can potentially encounter.  The leatherman features 21 tools and all locking features with exception of pliers head will lock in place.  The closed length is 4.5 inches, it weights 12.5 oz, primary blade length is 3.1 inches and it has a 25 year warranty.

Well its not bad at all! I was sure it would be a piece of junk, coming as a promotion with the Leatherman tools, but it focuses nicely, has a diopter for getting both eyes focused, and is clear.

The focus mechanism is OK. I was able to pretty easily get that single round view you get when looking through a pair of binoculars.

Not much else to add.

The scissors are not all that and the tools don't lock up but that's fine. It is what it is, I have had mine for a long time and it works. I don't live too far away from leatherman so if I ever have any issues, they have great customer service. Anytime I had issues with their products (they also do LED LENSER flashlights) they just gave me the same product or similar product as a replacement... and it was new.

Ordered this with the Leatherman Sidekick since I knew the included leather sheath would not be versatile or sturdy enough.  It can be attached to a belt if needed for easier access.

This is a true Leatherman of great quality.  It does everything I need it to do and more. I'm completely satisfied.  The only thing I wish is if it had a holder of some sort. This came exactly as described so am very happy with this purchase.

My father gave me my first Leatherman something like 25 years ago, long before they were "cool".  It was before they had all their cool model names, and came in an oxide finish only. (As far as I know.)  I've worked construction all my life....  Worn these out, lost them in water, upgraded, had multiples, you name it.  I've had a Surge for a few years now, I'm only replacing it because my last one was stolen when my pickup was broken into....  People:

- A well built tool with lots of small moving parts SHOULD be stiff and hard to move when it's new.  If you actually use it, instead of wanting to stare at it next to your Victorinox collection, it will smooth out in no time.

- The "coating" isn't defective and coming off, that's oil.  It's kind of especially important when not stainless steel, to pack products in oil. The residuals will come off in no time, IF YOU ACTUALLY USE THEM.  If you don't actually APPRECIATE that, this is the wrong tool for you.

- It is not too bulky if you USE it.  How is it the tool's fault that you think it's too much? HINT: If you arent, or have never been a guy who wears a tool belt, this probably isn't your multitool.

- Are you not the least bit grateful that you actually have a T20 Torx bit on your hip?  I'm sorry, the portable tolerances aren't tight enough for you?  How about you walk out to the garage and get one out of your SnapOn rollaway?

It's a tool, people.  In this pipeliner's 20+ year career, this is the pinnacle of Leatherman's efforts to date.  If you want a Swiss Army Knife, (I have a ton of them in my collection) buy one.  If you want a pipewrench In a pouch, this is your best bet.

Just got it in the mail and its exactly what I expected. I chose leatherman over gerber and sog because of its reputation. Easy access to four luxurious exterior tools, plus all other basic tools. If your looking for a multi tool I highly recommend this one, plus you get the warranty. It's heavy but I love it, it's built like a tank!

I am a big Leatherman fan! I own several of their tools/knives. The "Wingman" multi-tool is what I keep in my daily driver. Over the years (I'm now 63) I have come to appreciate the utility of having access to such a tool; especially the pliers, the wire cutter and the blade.
One could just as well keep a number of tools in their vehicle; but, if you can only have one... this is a good choice.

A great tool. I hang it from my belt loop.
The larger Leatherman multi-tools and belt
pouches hurt my love handles.  lol

When it comes to a multitool or "pocket tool", practicality is the biggest factor; and the squirt series wins in this category. I've carried a Gerber dime for years out in the orange groves here in FL, although it fits the bill for an all around "at a moments notice tool", it fails to excel in actual performance on the job. However the leatherman squirt es4 is a practical replacement for wire strippers! Basically, I will be buying the squirt ps4 version for an everyday Carry! Sorry Gerber...you lose.

Leatherman is a U.S. well made multi tool that I highly recommend for everyone for their daily use. I love it as much as my Victorinox Swiss Army!

Not bad for a cheap multitool. I've had several occasions to use it so far, and my only reservation is that the clip was sticking out of my pocket as I was switching from the driver's seat tot he passenger seat in my car, and the clip caught the corner of my arm rest and ripped away the material there. I can't really blame the Leatherman for that, per se, but the clip did bend out a bit, and I have been unable to flatten back up so that it clips normally again, which is a disappointment.

Otherwise, the pliers, screw bits, and knife have all been working great for me so far, and I look forward to seeing how much use it provides before failing.

This Leatherman (Super Tool-300/831102) is already making my job as a comercial overhead door installer just that little bit easier.  If you do the kind of work I do, I think you'll like what it can do for you, as well.  My job requires that I work on ladders, sometimes very tall ladders.  It also means working in some very tight spaces.  That means I regularly find myself at the top of my 28 foot extension ladder, unable to strap on my tool belt, because of space requirements.  So, it used to be that I'd be twenty feet up in order to do a simple thing, like adjusting limits, and find that I also needed to refit a few wires, retighten a few mounting screws, or other small extras.  I'd have to extricate myself from where ever I was, clamber down, grab a pocket full of tools, and do it all in reverse.  During the last week my new Leatherman has saved me many of these trips.  Just today I had to rewire an operator, and trace a few wires that went through some waterproof connectors.  Loosening up the cinch-nuts on the connectors was easy with the plier head, and they were about an inch wide, so the tool has both good grip, and the ability to open wide enough to do what I need.  The stripper/cutters are just as easy to use as the ones on my $36.00 needle-nose pliers.  They're actually sharper, and replaceable.

As for build quality, I honestly can't find anything negative to say.  It's built like the proverbial tank.  Fit and finish is excellent.  The plier head and replaceable cutter/stripper inserts were the main draw, for me, and I'm not disappointed.  They're very well aligned, and built to take hard use.  The fact that the tools aren't available without opening the handles really doesn't cause me any grief, at work.  If I get a Leatherman for use outside my job (a distinct possibility), I might go for something like a Charge, with it's tools available without opening up the tool.  But for heavy/work use, the Super Tool is everything I need, without the flashy extras.  Not that I have anything against flashy extras, but they don't belong at work, where many of them may not survive.  Not a problem with this Leatherman.

The premium leather and nylon sheath is certainly up to the job of containing and carrying the tool, but wouldn't look nearly as pretty, after a few weeks on the job.  I'm saving it for wear, outside of work.  I bought the Leatherman nylon molle sheath, to wear at work.  It's also very good at it's job of keeping the tool secure, and if I catch it on something the velcro doesn't completely open and dump my shiny new tool out, like the single snap on the premium model could.

The only thing relatively negative I could say about the Super Tool is that I'd like to see a few of the tools exchanged for something more useful.  I, personally, don't have much use for can openers, awls, or a lanyard loop.  But that's just me.  Perhaps others like those items.  However, for a working tool (which this thing definitely is)  I'd like to be able to order a version with, perhaps, a good full size quick exchange bit driver, in place of some of these.  There may be an adapter that will slip over this tool's excellent phillips head, to accomplish this.  Not sure if that works with this model, or not.  It would be nice, though, to have it internal to the tool.  But, again, that's just me, and it seems that Leatherman is doing just fine without my input.  As a certain very popular gear reviewer on YouTube is fond of saying, your mileage may vary.

Bottom line; this Super Tool-300 has impressed me enough to guarantee that I'll be buying other Leatherman products, in the future.  It's worth every penny.

Why in the name of all that is holy  didn't  I buy this  instead of wasting  time with the  GERBER  mini tool I bought a few months  ago ??.
I know these days it hardly  makes any sense  to follow the " top name brands " but most  of the time it's  logical to go with brands  that have established  themselves over  the years .
Within 2  to 3  mins  I was visually impressed  with the Leatherman and gave it a test run over  by  the data center  where I work .

Outstanding .

Wasted my money  on the piece  a crap GERBER dime ....trust me .
