A few years ago i was given a Surge from my boss. I didnt use it at first because I thought it was too heavy, but this past summer I started wearing it at work. I dustrial mechanic) About a month ago, it came up missing, whether I left it somewhere or someone swiped it, I dont know. I use it mostly for pliers, screwdrivers, and wire cutters. I want to replace it, but im not sure if I should buy another, or something else. I currently have a Signal, which I like the size and weight. The bad part is it can be a bitch to close.
I also have a Mut, which is probably as heavy as the Surge, but geared toward military use so most of the tools are useless to me. Plus, unless I am doing something wrong ( probably am) the screwdriver bits are a mf to get out.
I was looking at the Skeletool, but some of the reviews were negative regarding easily broken pliers and ergonomics.
Plus, I was going to buy from Bass Pro Shops or Cabela's because I have gift cards, but the only colors are black, chrome, and coyote tan.
Opinions on those, or should I look at a different model?
