The PPP is smaller. So, it will not have the same leverage as a Power Lock. My guess is that there would be SOME difference in semi-hard use.The handles don't have the covers. That's both good and bad. Less steps to get to the tools, and no additional parts to lose, but the covers on the Power lock DO make the handles more comfortable with hard use.SOG multitools can all be easily customized. The parts are interchangeable. You can go to the SOG website and get whatever tools you want to add to a pocket powerplier, so long as the all fit in the tool. There ARE a limited number of 'long' tool slots on the PPP. You could have a saw and wire stripper, but you'd have to give up the blade AND the file to get them.Hope this helps some.
Why waste your money on a PPP when you can get a Rebar fairly cheap The Rebar has rolled edges to save your hands and has all the tools you might need. The PPP will just eat up your hands

The PPP will just eat up your hands The rebar looks great with more features than the ppp, but the main selling point for me is the compound leverage. I would like to try out a plier without compound leverage later on. But for now I think I'll stick to what I know and trust.Thanks sawman.
Thanks LeFey. I checked out the accessories on the sog website. The saw and wire strippers aren't listed for the ppp. Will they fit anyways?

You may want to search for reviews on the SOG Wire Strippers before expending too much time or money on them. I have a vague idea that some people didn't think too much of them (or it might be just my old, addled mind playing tricks on me).

I'll look some more. But if they're not great they're probably not worth it. Just seemed like a convenience rather than finding dedicated wire strippers or making do without.
