Versions
There are two Versions, first and Second Generation.

With the Second Generation the Surge got the following changes:
 * It got a slightly more substantial set of pliers with the big improvement of replaceable wire cutters.
 * It got a more Secure T-Shank Adapter with a little tab that goes into the hole of the Leatherman T-Shank Tools and also, in the case of third party T-Shank tools that don't have the hole, it presses down on them so they're more secure.
 * It got a wider opening for the outside accessible tools so you have a better one-handed opening experience.
 * It lost the jimped plastic pad on the scissors, now it simply has a wider jimped piece of metal for the finger to rest on, with this change there is no more plastic on this tool, making it 100% Steel.

Variations
The Surge is available in different colours:
 * Stainless Steel
 * Black
 * Black & Silver Limited Edition (Discontinued)
