Question is for seller: Can anyone ABSOLUTELY verify this is the 2013 version of the Leatherman Surge with the replaceable cutters?

I am not certain if the version of the Leatherman Surge , is of 2013 ; but one of the tools ( saw tool ) did look replace able. The saw was not the usual , unremovable piece. The ( flat head and screw driver ) tools are interchangeable ; most tools did look as if they could be removed , but not necessarily , by a person that does not have knowledge of , the built or structure of a leather man tool ; or is not a ' handy person ' for these types of projects.

I think the SURGE has 2 models. One of which, the newer one (don't know if it's the 2013 version or not) I should think, has the replaceable wire cutters. You need to carefully look for the tiny hexagonal screws near the base of the cutters to tell you that it indeed features replaceable cutters. The current picture on their website seems to feature the desired function. http://www.leatherman.com/3.html You may want to specifically ask the vendor(s) before placing your purchase order that you "specifically require" the model with replaceable cutters. Hope this helps.

According to the website, its just different packaging. The tool is the same in either case, go with whichever is cheaper

When I received this one I passed my old Leatherman PST down to my son. I think I got it the year he was born, 1987.They quit making PST's in 2004, the same year they stopped making the original Wave. The old Wave didn't have the bit set included with the current version, which IMHO is a superior tool. If you are looking for an original Wave, You will be missing out on the interchangeable bits altogether, which is one of the most valuable features.

Looking at leatherman.com, it looks like there is a new version - in fact, it's the lead "story" on the site right now. This would likely be the reason for the price drop.Looking at the manufacturer's site, it looks like the only difference is cosmetic - the tools appear to all be the same. If it were me, I'd jump on the $20 savings and grab one of these before the new stock replaces it.

Hi Xander :) great choice on the Surge,it's my EDC and I love it,I also purchased it from Proto Sales as you appeared to do.they were excellent with me,the price was the best hands down (51 dollars cheaper than Home Depot etc).I asked them the same question and they werent sure,but yes I did recieve what is listed at the bottom of the page the 830278 updated model,the one in the picture is slightly different,you can watch videos on YouTube to see the differences,the old model was great and this one is even better! I sent and called Amazon and have been asking them to update the picture,hopefully they will and If your experience is like mine you will get the 830278,one way to tell is the old one had a diff. model #,you can try and email proto Sales if you want,but you should be allset,hope it works as well as it did for me and your new surge is very useful and enjoyable!

Hi, I'm sorry I live in Italy and I bought it to give a present to my friend, so I never seen the item, anyway it should be the old version without the replacable wire cutter edge.I hope this answer will be useful to you.Regards

The F1 that I own and purchased through Amazon matches the fallkniven site, with a much smaller logo, and nearer the handle than the one pictured here. Also has an exposed tang. This does not appear to be an accurate picture.

Unfortunately, not on this model. Leatherman has at least one multitool with replaceable wire cutters (I think it's the Rebar..?). But the cutters on the Charge are very strong. Hope that helps!

the leatherman signal surge and super tool 300 all have replaceable wire cutter blades. call leatherman or go to a local dealer theyll hook you up

Mine also are not. FWIW I've never seen a Leatherman that had spring-loaded the pliers.

The modern surge has replaceable wire cutters but no small but holder. This description explicitly says two bit drivers, which would mean no replacement wire cutters. I personally prefer this model as the small bit is infinitely useful, and I used the wire cutters for years, never wore out, another part broke first.

Looks like it may depend on who is fulfilling the order. One seller sent me the 2013 version, which is not what is pictured.

I do not believe. On the Leatherman website (http://www.leatherman.com/3.html#start=29), the diagram clearly says that the wire cutters are replaceable. But upon closer inspection of the product (the picture is that of a regular stainless steel finish), you will see small hexagonal head screws near the wire cutter blades. Thus, I believe that there are varying versions of the Surge line of multi-tools. If you want the replaceable wire cutter blades, I would think you'll have to pick the Surge with the said hexagonal head screws. Hope this helps.

Unsure. I've used several different Leatherman multi tools over the last 18 years and have not had any of them fail.
