Sog Paratool Blade Configuration

Greetings:

This is my first post and a sort of fiddly question. Out of the box my Paratool handles have a tendency to slip against each other when either the plain blade or the large screwdriver are deployed. When you look at the way the handles are supposed to lock together, it becomes obvious why this is the case.

Any blade/tool configuration suggestions out there to minimize this tendency?

-Thx,

Welcome to the forum, Andy.

Nice to have you with us.

Yes, I'm familiar with that problem. The first thing I did on mine was to change the serrated and plain edge blade positions so the serrated blade is on the outside and serves as a lock when the PE blade is deployed. I use the PE blade more so I prefer it that way. I hardly ever use the serrated one. As for the large flat head, regretfully no fix.

Not so many tool options in this position as it has to leave room for the pliers and any tools that you have in that place won't lock the handles once you open them as they themselves serve as the lock. I leave the large flathead where it is and just use the flathead on the bottle opener. Not such a big size difference and it isn't a heavy duty tool anyways.
