POWERASSIST

I carry this tool every day and love it. I find myself using it on a regular basis and it always performs. I am a carpenter/contractor which means I already own many full sized versions of the tools included in this piece, but that doesn't mean I have them on my person all the time. If I'm on a job and need to make a quick cut, crimp, turn of a bolt or screw it used to mean wearing my 30lb framers belt all day, or stopping to go the my tool bag or truck. Now, just a flip of the velcro flap on my belt and I'm on to the next thing, saving time and money. This tool has more than paid for itself for this reason alone. The case is very heavy nylon which holds its shape to allow easy deployment and insertion. Also the open sides on the top and bottom prevent debris build up with is very beneficial to me (I pretty much pour saw dust out of my pockets at the end of the day). The compound action of the pliers is amazing. You can cut, crimp, or pinch anything with ease which is rare for most multi tools because of their size and shape. The multiple screwdriving bits are sturdy and effective with the piano key type lockup allowing you to put sufficient force on them without having fear of the bit closing on your fingers or damaging finished surfaces. The 2 blades are very useful as well, and for some may suffice as an EDC set. Though I still carry a dedicated knife for that purpose, it never hurts to have options. I tend to use these blades for tasks that could result in damage to a blade I wouldn't want my pocket knife going through. They both hold an edge very well and sharpen easily. I usually only have to touch them up every week or so. Which brings me to another great design feature of this tool. SOG carries a full line of replacement tools/blades so the fear of breaking a piece and rendering a $60 tool useless is put to rest, as well as giving the option for customization. Some may have an issue with the weight, but between all the other items I have on me 24/7, I don't notice it at all, as well as it being a testimate to its strength and durability. If I could think of any con it would be the sliding locks for the 2 blades. They have a very short throw allowing them to accidentally engage. I noticed this the first day I owned this tool and quickly fixed it with a single drop of super glue to permanently lock them in the off position, as I also feel they're unnecessary with the sprung tension on the blades. I've never had one open on my accidentally. I love this thing and know it will last for years to come, through all the use and abuse I have planned for it.

I bought this pocket tool almost 10 years ago and it’s still holding up amazingly. First how I have used this: I was a corporate trainer for a large restaurant company, and I would travel to open brand new restaurants (with lots of new equipment and problems). This was my every tool (including being used as a doorstop to hold open countless walk-in coolers). I’m also a sport angler, and I use this as my hip pliers (removing hooks regularly and leaving up the cord cutter for cutting fishing line, both mono and braided).In addition, I do work on small two-stroke engines, and many times have reached for this tool rather than my other sets of pliers. And finally, I recently constructed a Tiny Home from the floor up with my trusty SOG at my side. My particular tool has been used and abused!! Other than regular cleaning, tightening (which is made easy to do for the blades, player heads and all flip out accessories) and the occasional sharpening I’ve had to do nothing to maintain this tool. The knives both spring quickly out and keep tight for a good amount of time. The biggest selling point for this tool for me was the ability to open the knife with one hand. Works perfectly for this. I love the pliers because they very slightly taper down right at the end, leaving them strong but also petite enough to fit into a lot of hard places (was very helpful when doing small engine work). They are stronger than expected, and the wire cutters have just begun to dull and chip (you can see from the pictures the condition after 10 years) For fishing, I found that locking the cord cutter in the up position and putting it back in the holster kept it safely out of the way but easily accessible when changing lures often for that selective fish. The black oxide coating has held up very well, along with the genera construction of the tool (and I have for sure treated it roughly over the years). My only complaint is the safety lock for the spring loaded knives is loose and regularly slips to the “on” positions. Meaning when I remove it with one hand and flick open the knife I must pause, turn off the safety, and then flick open again. Annoying and time consuming, but still doable with one hand and only happens every so often. In conclusion, this is easily the best tool investment I’ve made in my life. I have used this tool in more applications, for more years, and with less maintenance or problems than any tool or spent money on. Get this tool if you don’t want 100 useless accessories but need an quick access blade and durable, versatile set of pliers. I find myself making a review because it’s finally time for another set (only because I am gifting my old pair to the GF, who has taken up fishing) PROS: Durable Easy access knives Strong and versatile pliers Good accessories, no extra fluff CONS: Safety for knives

Finalmente posso fare, dopo un po’ di esperimenti, una recensione a questo bellissimo prodotto. Il SOG PowerAssist si presenta abbastanza robusto e funzionale. Ovviamente non abbiamo fra le mani un lama fissa e questo dobbiamo sempre ricordarlo. Si tratta di un multiuso è da tale va adoperato. Innanzi tutto partiamo dalla funzione principale: la pinza. L’apertura è estremamente morbida, anche grazie a sistema a ingranaggi SOG che permette tra l’altro di imprimere maggiore forza di leva nell’utilizzo. Abbiamo poi, su un lato, due coltelli di cui uno a lama liscia e una lievemente seghettata. La particolarità di queste è l’apertura assistita. Basta fare pressione sul gancio d’apertura e la lama farà il resto. Dall’altra parte sono presenti vari utensili quali: • cacciavite a stella • molteplici cacciaviti a taglio • apriscatole (due tipi) • Lima da ferro • taglia cinture\corde: che taglia veramente di tutto. Conclusioni: veramente un bell’attrezzo, utile e (a mio parere) indispensabile in molte situazioni. Come detto all’inizio bisogna sempre ricordarsi che non abbiamo un coltello a lama fissa, oppure una pinza da meccanico, quindi non è a usarsi per prestazioni estreme.

I use it every day.

Bin vom dem SOG Werkzeug begeistert. Habe es schon des öfteren Benutzt. Was besonders gut ist, die Messer sind mit einer Sicherung versehen, so das ein unbeabsichtiges öffen verhindert wird. Auch die Lieferung war sehr zügig.

Tardó casi 3 semanas en llegar. En vez del modelo óxido negro, me trajeron la satin, y encima, de powerassist nada de nada. La hoja de filo recto, va durísima y la serrada, a veces funciona y a veces le pega por bloquearse.

対応、発送スピード、値段、全て完璧です。文句の付けようがありません。また機会があれば購入します。
