Decided to give SOG another try... New PL from Lowes

[sawman]

I was across town and stopped by that Lowes tonight where upon browsing the knife/tool selection noticed a SOG Powerlock hanging on the hook.

A couple things strike me right off:

First - no piano locks. I HATED the piano locks.

Second - the torx screws replaced the hex bolts.

I paid $56 total with coupon and upon examining it am quite pleased. This is the one I wanted with V-cutter. I had one years ago and miss that tool.

The only thing I really don't care for is the ratchet bit adapter. I may replace that with a canadian driver or something. I'm pretty happy to see the quality is still there. I took a gamble with this as the last SOG I bought was a Cross Cut and that was just awful.

Good deal Sawman! I hope you like it. Haven't have a SOG fail me yet.

No piano locks?  Pictures?  Why do you hate them?  I admire the intricacy of them myself.  To me they exude build quality.

I'm loving it. Had the jaws not broken on mine years ago we probably wouldn't have had such a hiatus apart from eachother.

You know what's funny though - I find the Surge too big and heavy yet make no qualms about the size of the PL. I take back everything negative I said about SOG over the years, it's a fine tool

Good to hear! I am glad you are getting along with it.

By Canadian driver, do you mean a Robertson bit?

Just give it time. You will hate it once again sooner or later.

Indeed, I have a big bag of SOG parts leftover from my previous obsession.

I believe theres at least one saw blade in there but I couldn't part with my SOG parts

A saw blade marked "Harley Davidson" for 99¢.

How do they offer it so cheap? What's the catch 

[ducttapetech]

I would say it is some stock they are trying to get rid of.
