I am curious as to how 2.0 compares to the original. I am not familiar with the original tool so I won't have a reference point. What needed improvement on it? Looks like this one carries more tools.

All the SOG stuff is listed way higher on the SOG website.Yeah, I know. But I suddenly felt like ordering one and they are the only ones that have it (as far as I found, not that I checked that thoroughly).Also I currently get a 15% strong Swiss Franc discount

What needed improvement on it? Looks like this one carries more tools.Bob (J-sews) took one apart to find out why the pliers kept breaking on people, and here's what he found ...(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)That tiny cast peg on the plier head was the only point at which the force was transmitted from the handles. Basically, use this for anything more than you would with let's say a Gerber Dime, and the peg would shear off. Unless this has had a MAJOR rethink, there will be no benefit in buying the newer model. SOG's website suggest this has their "patented" compound leverage system, which suggests that somehow they incorporated the system from their other "power" pliers. However on the original, you could just lift the handle to access a driver of blade etc, and didn't need to "fire" the pliers out first. If they have incorporated the gearing system in, I'm not sure how that's going to work
$65 MRSP sounds pretty reasonable though.
Something else I noticed on there website, they have the paratools and PPPs back up.Nate

Guys, maybe not multi tool related, but can anyone identify the orange knife that SOG is displaying on the wall of that video? I want.

Hahaha, trad, you crack me up! I do see what you are getting at, though. Preferably, they fix the flaws of the previous edition before releasing something as "2.0". In this case refining the mechanism so that it is stronger. However, I still want one.
So you must be right Trad ! They didn't do anything to improve the mechanism.
