“Lets start with the most impressive part the extender, I carry my Surge on me most days at work as a handyman and I regularly use this tool when I am up a ladder, in a crawl space in a loft and so on it just saves me going back to my tool box all the time. The extender just turns your bit kit into fully functional tools, the extra reach it give you is brilliant, if you have your tool at 90 degrees you have a T type bar which gives you so much more leverage. The bit kit is great for a load of small jobs on the hop. Oil is good for the maintenance of your tool but the bit kit pouch is a little redundant for me as I keep half of my bit kit in my Surge Nylon pouch and the other half in my toolbox.”
“Brilliant addition to my Leatherman surge. My only negative is it can be a little awkward getting the bits out of the nylon sheath when attached to my belt”
“Must have item so versatile with a bit kit just a shame how the free p4 is the most expensive and does not support a free pocket clip i think leatherman should fit a clip on both the p2 & p4 or send its customers one for free i love all my tools i have just that one main issue for me i will not be paying 9 quid or bucks for a clip when p2 has one just an insult tbh lol rant over”
“This was one of the key accessory items that drew my attention. My activities include mountain biking to purchasing the bit kit with the extender was a no brainer for me. It reduces my need to carry a separate cycling specific multitool with me on my rides and has the added advantage of fitting nicely into one of the pockets in the tool section of my Evoc Explorer Pro 30L backpack.
The bits and the extender are well made and the nylon pouch that comes with it is a much better pouch than the one that comes with the Signal multitool as standard. I have actually switched the two pouches around so that the one that came with my multitool now holds my bits and extender.
Having some extra mineral oil is also always useful although the bottle does seem to have a tendency to have oil residue on it after use even when fully wiped down and cleaned and the oil does seem to leak out of the cap if the bottle is not sitting upright.
If you are going to buy the Signal Multitool or any other multitool with a bit tool on it, then I would recommend spending the little extra to purchase a bit kit. Additionally if you are just getting the standard pouch with your multitool then the nylon version that comes in this set (assuming it fits your model of multitool) is worth it.”
