I heard a rumor that there's going to be a new SOG multi coming out.Anyone else know about this?

mcniac · **Reply #1 on:** August 02, 2006, 10:02:27 PM

you mean that automatic one? i think a friend of mine used to have one. i think it was made for undercover knob screwing or something like that.

Grant Lamontagne · **Reply #2 on:** August 05, 2006, 02:00:57 AM

I have the automatic one- in fact, you can read a review of it that DaveBinGA wrote here http://www.multitool.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=17&Itemid=1 on Multitool.org. I have one- neat little multi, but I doubt I'd rely on it for any serious work. I think Fred is talking about the ultra-secret new multitool that SOG has hinted at, but hasn't released any information on yet. I personally can't wait- SOG quality is really high, and their tools are quite popular with alot of folks.
Whatever it is, it should be interesting to see!

Pics? ;D

Fred · **Reply #5 on:** August 26, 2006, 12:25:13 AM

I don't know if there are pics available.so far it seems like a rumor at best or a hallucination at worst!

I hope it is smaller like the pocket power plier but with locks like the powerlock.

I did a little nosing around to my distributors and no word on it yet. $:-\$

I spoke to the director of marketing at SOG this afternoon and he assures me there is a new tool in the works, but it is still top secret. No pictures or details have been released yet, either officially or otherwise.

Any hints at all? Like, is it an entirely new tool, or "just" a customized version of an existing tool, like the Paladin PowerPlays?

prime77 · **Reply #10 on:** September 07, 2006, 05:51:11 AM

The Paladin PowerPlay tools are pretty cool. I don't really need all those specialized tools but my brother-in-law works for the local cable company and says he would use one allot.

Grant Lamontagne · **Reply #11 on:** September 07, 2006, 11:36:41 AM

The new tool is apparently quite top secret and the only thing I know about it so far (ie, could squeeze out of Chris!) is that there is one, and he hasn't even seen a prototype yet, so I am guessing we are taling about a whole new tool.

That stinks.I have been drooling over the thought of a new SOG

J-sews · **Reply #13 on:** September 08, 2006, 03:12:22 AM

Me too.
So many other multi tool brands have dropped out. It seems like only Vic and Gerber have a viable share of the market dominated by L'man.

I know that SOG can bring out a nice tool. I just hope they have a marketing/distributing plan that will insure enough sales to justify them staying in the multi tool field.

Well, as you may have noticed, we have a SOG specific forum here. The only other company that's got that is Leatherman. I had to do a LM specific forum, because if it weren't for them, we wouldn't be here. I know there were multis long before the PST, but I don't think that anyone can argue that Tim Leatherman brought them mainstream and popularized them. SOG got their own forum here because of the amount of support and enthusiasm Chris (Marketing Director) at SOG showed when I contacted him about this site. He really seemed interested, and I know he's been reading this stuff when he's had a chance. With that kind of enthusiasm behind launching a new tool, I am sure that it will be quite successful.
Of course, they have also had a pretty darned good run with the PowerLock. It's never been as heavily marketed as other tools, and it's conistantly ranked pretty high amongst multi users, so that's nothing to sneeze at either.

I agree, and wish them lots of luck. When it comes to sales of their new tool, they can always count on me to do my part!! ;D

Grant Lamontagne · **Reply #16 on:** September 08, 2006, 03:27:38 AM

Me too- I was thinking of getting a second job so I can afford more tools!

that yellow tool clip is sweet!

J-sews · **Reply #20 on:** September 10, 2006, 11:27:33 PM

Thanks. Only one I've ever seen. They tell me there were a few made in red and green also.

Fred · **Reply #21 on:** September 11, 2006, 01:36:57 AM

I have seen the green ones, and I think also a red one but that yellow one is awesome!

prime77 · **Reply #22 on:** December 06, 2006, 10:33:31 AM

Hmmmm,
No, I think I'd better hang onto it. No telling what sort of despicable things you might do to those poor squirrels with it!

Hey!
You didn't happen to FAKE that whole tonsilitis episode in order to make your parents feel sorry enough for you to buy you a SwitchPlier, did you?

I may be wrong but isn't he SHOT show this week? You think SOG will give any hints of this new tool. We can only hope.

J-sews · **Reply #29 on:** January 11, 2007, 06:26:07 AM

Did we ever get a clear indication.......is there an actual new SOG tool in the works, or was the new tool the Paladin PT-540?
