PowerDuo is here!

[Grant Lamontagne]

Hey everyone,

The new SOG PowerDuo just arrived!  I've just taken some pics of it and I'm editing and uploading them, but I wanted to give everyone a heads up!

More soon- very soon!

You're a big fat tease

Uploading it to the Gallery now.... not much longer.  Those of you who know how to find the Gallery can see the pics sooner!

OK, here are the pics.  I'll post them all then try to answer questions afterwards, rather than take extra time talking about it when what everyone really wants is eye candy! 







































Whew!

So the vic scales are swappable directly on this sog?   

It actually looks interesting to me.  I've been looking for a car multi to have on me for whatever, and also a reason to buy more tools... hmm.  I didnt realize that it had the compound leverage pliers and I do like that.  I'll keep my wallet closed until you do the review parts though!

So, if Victorinox releases a version of the new soldier with toothpick and tweezers we can say they are copying SOG 

Good idea to include them, by SOG 

Looks very interesting.

[Grant Lamontagne]

No, actually the Vic scales are not directly swappable.  They are close I'll admit, but there is a difference- that's why I made sure to post pics of them together! 

Bob wanted to borrow an OHT from the Victorinox booth at SHOT then go to SOG and get side by side pics but I thought that would be a little rude to SOG, and they have always been good to us.

Speaking of being rude to SOG, I forgot to say HUGE THANKS TO CHRIS@SOG FOR SENDING THIS OUT.  I should have lead with that, but I was a bit overexcited trying to get pictures taken and uploaded.  For those who may be interested, Travis and Chris@SOG are already working on details for a group buy, so if you are interested, let Travis know.  There are no details yet that I know of, but I'm sure they'll be happy to know there is some interest.

How about a width comparison shot?

[Grant Lamontagne]

Anything in particular you'd like it compared to?

The OHT and/or Spirit and Charge would be just fine. Thanks!

Looks very cool.  I'm curious to hear your review.  I'm a little worried how the pliers might perform given the OH blade looks like it might pinch your hand if you squeeze down on the pliers.    Also, it definitely looks chunky which is a given considering the pliers in it, but yeah a width comparison shot would be awesome.

I love that.

I'll see what I can do.

It's a little on the thick side. Not a lot thicker than an OHT but it is thicker.  Despite it being kind of thick I keep getting the feeling that it should have a pocket clip, although I'm not sure why.

Initial impressions are good though. It seems like it might be a bit awkward for the small hand/short finger set as it seems to require a bit more travel on the pliers to open and close the head- even more than usual for a SOG, but that might just be my imagination.

There's little or no chance of hand pinching.  It's hard to explain but the blade and scale are sort of stepped up from the handle.  I'll try and get pics to show what I am talking about, but the limited fiddling I've had so far seems to point to no pinching.

GRant, do you know when it will be available at retailers?

[Grant Lamontagne]

I do not.  I asked, but I think we all got caught up discussing the Group Buy for members, and I think that's about as far as that got.
