SOG Switch Plier 2.0, Dust Black/Silver

Haven't been able to use this in any significant way since it's a recent purchase, but it seems well thought out and stout. It's not much bulkier in the pocket than a large pocket knife, but is slightly heavier which is to be expected with all the hardware and price point .

Thought this was a novelty fidgety item. But in reality. It's a great mechanism with a solid strong plier. I have been using it for one month and enjoy it. Great to figet with and equally good to use. I highly recommend.

I have had mine for a long time, and I promised one to my grandson and could not find one. I was looking on the internet and saw them, so I went and bought 4 for each of my grandsons. Recently found out my youngest son and wife are having a baby boy so I will be buying another one soon. Great Multi Tool! Use is for general maintenance, as well as fishing and hunting. One hand operation is an advantage for doing many tasks!

I love this tool! I've used it for everything from pulling a splinter from my thumb to bushcraft and wrenching on a car. It has performed beautifully!

Switch plier , I needed a good multi tool , easy to use , and easy to get the tools out of the body in cold weather , I have used this tool for three years I work as an agricultural engineer , work on plant and axillary equipment , I carry it every day and use it on small jobs , I fail to see how you can break a multi tool of good quality , any multi tool is a light duty tool , it's for changing bulbs on a trailer , cutting cable ties , help with wiring issues , the little jobs , which they are great for , I have other makes , but I have issues with how to get a blade out in cold weather conditions , nail nics are difficult , but on this tool you can get all the blade tools out and sort out what you want , and the fast action of the plier is good , all of these type of multi tool are not a replacement for a good work tool , it's a stand by , light duty tool , for small tasks , I have now carried a multi tool for 30 years , and given away a few that did not make the grade , from all the main US makes and Swiss ! I use two sog , the switch pliers , and the small micro-tool both are good , and two from victorianox the Swiss tool , but I carry the switch pliers evey day , people would not break tools if they use them for the correct job !

The gearing on the pliers really does add force to the pliers; it's not just a gimmick. I've used these for 5 or 6 years now with no problems. Assuming the quality is the same for people with more with more recent reviews, I don't know what they were doing to bend and break them. The action isn't as smooth as it was when it was new, but it still works fine. You can break any tool; no folding multi tool is going to be as sturdy as a standard pair of pliers. This pair holds up as good as any of their competitors, and I've used a few.

Switch plier , the first day it pinched my skin , breaking and bruising it. The plier won't lock. Huge disappointment. I figured it was my fault, but it really bit into my thumb. Fool me twice. It now is in limbo until I decide if I'm gonna give it away , or toss it. Waste of money , unless you don't like your skin.

This tool has a big design flaw in the pliers mechanism, this tool is useless. The first time I applied real presure to the pliers the inside mechanism just broke/failed and now the tool handles close but the pliers dont apply preassure. Im very dissapointed with this tool, the idea is great, the looks of the tool is awesome but the tool is uselees. Do not buy this tool. SOG you should test this tool and look at the fail because is a big fail.

Bought this as, an idea to be handy on the yacht. Plier has lost grip after 1 year. All other, items great, blade still sharp. Very handy tool, when it works. Looking at other products!

This is an outstanding plier multitool that doesn't take up a lot of space. I broke the internal spring packing this in some checked luggage. Sent it to SOG hoping for a repair, and they sent a new tool out to me. I will never buy any other knife or multitool as long as SOG is around.
