SOG Powerlock Satin, Scissors, Nylon Pouch, Silver

I have owned a power lock for 25 years. I wore through the old leather case but not through this multi tool. It has seen years of hard use and abuse working around trucks and heavy equipment. I absolutely love the geared jaws that never stay stuck. I definitely recommend SOG for anyone looking for a simple reliable multi tool.

Excellent tool. Well made. Seems like it will last. I use a multi tool most every day for one thing or another. The only thing I wasn’t crazy about was the belt clip on the pouch. It popped off my belt several times in the first few days. I’d feel way more secure if it was a loop and not a clip. I took a very small self tapping screw and screwed the bottom of the clip solid. Now I can slide my belt thru and it stays.

I've been a fan of SOG tools for a very long time. I LOVE! the multitool, I recommend it over any other on the market to anyone I come into contact with who is looking to purchase. The quality is second to none. I've had the same one for over ten years now and had have no complaints.

If you want to do work everyday and have the most powerful pliers you can get, this is the tool. Just know that with hard use, the pivots will eventually wear out and you'll have to replace them after 2-3 years of hard work.

I'm keeping the multi-tool for the knife, the saw, and the pliers. The scissors absolutely do not cut at 50% of the distance from the pivot to the tip, and I needed this feature to trim skin off a lesion I sustained. I ended up going to the doctor to have it cleaned up. Really too bad. The scissors won't cut a plastic wrapper unless you are at the root or close to it. This was the situation when I first wanted to use scissors. Very disappointed. I'm going to try carrying a Suisse Army knife all the time as I did when I was a young sailor, and for the most part, I'll leave the pliers at home. I had a problem with the metal file about 10 years ago - it had no more cutting edge than a fingernail file. I hoped things had improved at SOG since then. But I need the compound leverage pliers, so I bought them in a version that might possibly serve me for other tasks. I also noticed that the wire cutter on the pliers had a dull spot on the edge. C'est la vie.

I had an Army issued Powerlock a number of years ago and unfortunately lost it. I've missed it ever since. My good fortune had a friend purchase a new one for me for Christmas. It was like being reunited with an old friend! These tools are solid and rock solid dependable. I can't recommend this tool highly enough!

I have yet to find the perfect multi tool - this comes close. The option to swap tools helps get it even closer, even though I have never had to because the number and variety is ideal for my needs. This is my second powerlock. The first has been put through ten+ years of vigorous use and is still functional. It's only retired because of the black Friday sale. While I appreciate the deal, I would have gladly paid full price because it is worth the money when compared to other companies' products/prices. The one handed open/close and mechanical advantage of the gears puts SOG above other brands and I recommend them to all of my coworkers who are looking for, or already have, a multi tool.

Needed another multi tool for a vehicle. I have several brands with similar feature/functions. This is a good quality basic unit.

I absolutely wore the other two out! Still really great tools

This is a wonderful tool. It took a few days before I could get to use it. I discovered a fence problem in my pasture. The "Power lock..." was the only tool that I happened to be carrying. I fixed the fence and used a few tools found on this knife. It's a great tool. My 79 yr.old fingers had some difficulty accessing tools and it is the heaviest multi tool I have ever carried. I wouldn't want to part with it. My fingers will learn what to do and I will continue to "pump iron," to adapt to the weight. I highly recommend this multi tool.
