Pocket clip on a SURGE?! Some folks might think you're crazy! Not me, though, as I have done it plenty myself. What ever floats your boat...T-A

Lol yeah, you certainly notice it's there, but pocket carry has been my primary method of carry for the Surge since getting it early 2020. Only recently started carrying it in a sheath again.

Hi Mitch, I really like the PST and PST II a lot. They are a great compact light weight carry. I find the fit and finish to be excellent. The tool selection was well thought out. Super easy to disassemble (with the right tools, Loki Wrenches), clean, inspect, and reassemble. Definitely one of Leatherman‘s all time best.

Performing important tasks

I freakin' love my improved Wave that I've had for maybe 25 years. So the other day, I saw LLBean had the best current pricing on on a Wave + ($102, free shipping, and I had $68 in mdse credit so a little over $40 out of pocket (after including sales tax). The new ARC is sweet, but not enough to fork over twice the cost even with a Magcut blade. I will move the early Wave to my van camper and put the Wave + in the Land Cruiser. The camper van had a Blast in it and my wife seems to have lost (or a son swiped) whatever Leatherman she had so the Blast gets moved to her car. Win-win for me! IN all honesty, I rarely use them but I just like the gimmickry, especially as they work and are right there.

Hauled some stuff today and had bond with me. Didn't need it unfortunately.

I had a solenoid stick on a 4 wheeler Saturday and hurried to un-hook the battery and fried the tips of my old SOG Powerlock even worse than they already were.

Lucky I had it on me, but man those tips aren't needle nose anymore.

They're now "blunt nose"...

New PST 2. I don't think the scissors or the pliers have been used, only about 10 minutes to put a good edge on the blade. It will see some use & carries well in roo custom pouch

So, the old ones were stamped USA. And the new ARC is stamped USA. My old SOG is stamped USA.

I wonder what the criteria is for this?

This Powerlock workhorse is not stamped USA, but I understand the ones with the hex bolts were American built.

Good question.
Nice pic too

M Murphy Slaw , I believe the issue has to due with the part content. A product has to have a certain percentage of its content manufactured in the U.S. to qualify to have it stamped U.S.A. Leatherman was sued by the state of California sometime in the 1990s. As a result, tools from that period had U.S.A. removed since they did not have enough part content to qualify. I am no expert on this topic, I am just sharing what little bit I know.

Here is a pic, since this is a picture thread.
