  1. It's a shame that SOG tools are no longer made in the US but the SOG Powerlock design is by far the best. I used to work in a tech role and used Leatherman, Gerber and SOG Powerlock tools and the SOG was the most convenient, most versatile, most durable and also most customisable tool of the lot. I experience failures with Leather and and Gerber tools. The design of the Leatherman tools is vulnerable, it relies on springs for the pliers to work as do some Gerber designs, these springs can weaken and fail altogether rendering the tool useless (did actually happen to me with a Gerber tool). The SOG Powerlock does not have this vulnerability.

  2. That happened with a Gerber tool I had. It had springs on the back of the plier head, similar to the Leatherman design, one of which broke rendering the pliers useless. I prefer the SOG Powerlock design, I've been using SOG tools for over twenty years now and the Powerlock is simply the best multitool design of them all so far.

  3. Hope you got a SOG tool, I've been a SOG user for over twenty years despite trying Leatherman and Gerber tools, amongst others and the SOG powerlock has been the best of the lot.
