I need a SOG. Direct me to one.

Precise · **on:** November 17, 2009, 02:34:26 PM

I have many tools, but no represenatives from the SOG line. So, I want a SOG. I really like the idea of the compound leverage and *really* like changeable tools.

I'm looking for a beefy model to replace my Wave as 'the heavy duty multitool'. I've looked at the SOG pictures on their website...all the models kinda look the same. Any suggestions?

How about this one the power assist robust as hell

That should be a power assist now

and here's a couple more pics

Blink. Blink. A cybertool 41? I want bigger super power pliers. I have a C34. Awesome for computer work and smaller tasks.

If I were you I would start with a Powerlock without gear covers, and without the new piano locks. You should consider whether you want scissors or a v-cutter, keeping in mind that the SOG scissors don't seem to be popular on the forum here. Gear covers are actually nice but the newer models which have gear covers will also have piano locks which are much harder to use than the standard lock.

Once you make decisions on your needs then we can come up with a model number for you to get.

I'm thinking you should patrol Ebay, you can get a good used Powerlock for around $35 shipped.

Thanks for the infos, that power assist looks very nice

I'm watching a couple of older powerlocks on fleabay now, we'll see how it goes. Incidently, one I'm watching is from a seller with 0 rating and from Singapore...I wonder if it is a fake, cause it is going pretty cheap...all stock photos...hmm.

How about a Powerlock S62 or a Powerlock 2.0 S69...

I like the S62 a little better. Getting the wire stripper tool to replace the blade. I don't need a blade on it since I EDC a plain-edge folder and I can make use of the wire strippers with my home improvement projects. That is the real selling point for SOG's - replaceable tools.

I think you can get a used Powerlock for about $40 on ebay..probably more if you want a black version. That's a good model, as well as the smaller, non locking version of it, the Pocket Power Plier.

Precise · **Reply #8 on:** November 18, 2009, 04:32:23 PM

Definitely would like to have the gear covers. But grabbing one without cheaper is ok too.

Status: Bidding on...and losing on, various powerlocks, powerassists, and ppps. I hates the ebay.

Lowes carries the Powerlock S62 for $50. They also have the BO Powerlock B63 but I didn't get the price.

Precise · **Reply #10 on:** November 18, 2009, 06:17:50 PM

Lowes. Hmm. That gives me an idea. Perhaps they will have some kinda %off sale or something for Black Friday.

David · **Reply #11 on:** November 18, 2009, 06:18:32 PM

Lowes is where I got my S62.

Bought an S62. (SOG S63 PowerLock EOD Multitool)It was a sign from Heaven...it was on Woot for the wootoff price. 34 plus 5 bucks shipping.

Precise · **Reply #16 on:** November 18, 2009, 07:49:23 PM

Hmm. I'm having Woot buyer's remorse. I sure hope I like it, cause otherwise I'll be mad I didn't hold out for a power assist.

If you decide you want a PowerAssist after all, just let me know and I'll hook you up with a good deal, granted, I don't know the price of it yet, either, but if you're interested, I can give my contact a call.

Precise · **Reply #18 on:** November 18, 2009, 08:04:56 PM

Sure, hit me up with a price. I just found out my wife was gonna get me a power assist for Christmas, but won't since I impulsed bought this one. But if I sell the incoming one, she'll still get it for me for Christmas.

Blasted woot offs. Things sell so fast you just kinda hit the buy button without thinking...

When the power lock comes in I'll be putting it up for sell. Heh.

AHB · **Reply #19 on:** November 18, 2009, 08:57:43 PM

How can you have buyers remorse about 39 $..?

The dang thing cost about 4 times as much here in Denmark...
Either way it's a score, mate...
