I think you could solve a lot of problems with these three tools...

Would you add or subtract anything?

For an emergency tool kit, this pretty much covers anything you would need except a hammer and that could be a rock in an emergency.

For my Surge I bought several metal cutting blades and some wood cutting blades.

Combination tools are practically worthless. Get some real quality name-brand tools and you will never regret it.

Since you aren't specific to the problem, and assuming electricity is possible, I believe a multi-piece accessory cordless power drill with extenders is the one single tool I'd want on a desert island. One high quality drill set (although the technology has been perfected and copied reasonably well) and you're ready for many challenges.

Technically two tools if you consider the drill box, but it's all one unit.

Everything from fixing eavestroughs, loose deck screws, fencing issues, a locked deadbolt without a door knob, changing tires with socket accessories, cleaning a clogged tub (yes, check out snake extensions) on and on. One of the best ROI tools you can buy IMO.

I may be wrong, but I think the OP was referring to a compact emergency tool kit. If that is the case, I think he got it right.

mabe add one of those small compact hacksaw blades or some tin snips

The Surge uses the same blades that go in a jigsaw.
You have a shit load of options for saw blades.

 

[Grumblenuts]

Duh!
Vice-Grips

 

[Missourian]

Vise grips.

Duh!
Vice-Grips

Good advise...but you're getting into a weight issue with the Leatherman Wave and even a four inch set of vice grips.

Could replace the Wave with a Crunch sometime in the future...but there are trade-offs there as well.

Leatherman Crunch vs Wave Plus

The need for a heavy-duty multi-tool is essential these days for any handyman. Choose yourself from this Leatherman Crunch vs Wave Plus comparison.

I really... REALLY like that Surge. At the time I bought my Wave it wasn't available yet...but I am looking into modding it to incorporate that replaceable saw blade feature.
