for a long time I was really keen to finding me one of these (thing which held me back most was the limited availability and obscene price in the UK).But that aside, if this had outside opening tools, I would probably have to get one (swapping out the electrician specific tools for more everyday ones of course).Such a shame SOG continues with their all inside tools and silly handle flaps.

I thought vic/bear has a patent on that so others can't use it?
I don't think so
Indeed, it seems you can get it for £97 here:http://www.markertek.co.uk/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=PAL-PT540BUT, that is still an exorbitant amount IMO. £75 would be the upper limit I would be willing to pay, maybe that is unrealistic.
Bob, how does the tool compare to your other tools you may consider to EDC? As I have mentioned before, if I was to get one, I would swap out the electrician specific tools for more general ones.How do you find the all inside tools, especially with the flappy panels, compared to e.g. the spirit or swisstool all outside tools, of the LM wave/charge/surge partially outside opening tools config?
I'm bumping this old topicI'm going after a 540 wish me luck I really want to try one of these. I may do some tool swapping and make my dream sog work tool.

If you happen to find two (at a reasonable price, say less than $US 80) please let me know Also I have some spare SOG tool components which may help with your tool swapping.
Well lads I hope you have industrial trouser suspenders too stop your duds falling down Be interesting to see if Paladin is using old SOG parts made in the US or if they have changed over to SOG's current supplier
The PT 540 is for those folks that think the Surge is too dainty....DefSent from a digital multitool

No problem. I wasn't looking for an EDC, more just to satisfy my curiousity. One will turn up some day.
