What local stores sell SOG multitools?
on: June 21, 2007, 02:02:16 AM
I am located on the Minnesota/South Dakota boarder.
Other then Lowes I have not seen SOG tools anyplace.
Are there other stores that would carry them in my area?

How about the Snap-on truck, NAPA or some sporting goods store?

Lowe's is also the only place I have seen them locally around me (Alabama+Georgia area). But I recall them being available at the Commisary Exchange when I worked at the Great Lakes navy base. I know this doesn't help you much but it is somewhere else to check if you have a military installation near you.



I checked their site and they only list major online retailers. It does say they the following so you may want to check back periodically.

Lowe's is the only place around here that carries SOG tools. Menards carries Paladin PowerPlay tools in the electrical department, if that helps.
In order to be certain of having the right tool for every job.........one must first acquire a lot of tools

Does SOG make Paladin Powerplay then or is Paladin a SOG copy?

ok, looks like they are made by sog, like the PT-525 with the cool wire stripper head.
We do have a few menards around here. Going to have check them out now.

No Fry's around here. :(

At Menards, look for a big section of orange-packaged Paladin items in the telephone wiring/cable tv wiring department.

I live near Smoky Mtn Knife works(TN)..they've got a good selection of multis and knives by SOG. Most of the Lowe's stores have them too.

I bought a Master Mechanic labeled SOG PowerLock S60 at a local True Value hardware store.

It is a small world.  I too live on the Minnesota/South Dakota border.  I go to Marshall and Sioux FAlls to shop. 

The only store that I've seen a SOG in , is Lowes. 

I looked at Sportsman's Warehouse and they didn't seem to have any.  Although I did see a Victorinox Spirit for the first time.

On this subject, I got my SOG Powerlock at a Wal-Mart for I believe $49.95 plus tax. What was strange was that they only carried them for about two to three weeks tops. I had never seen an SOG until I droppped by the showcase and saw the Powerlock. They did a merchandise reset for the knife display case shortly after that and the SOGs were gone. I was hoping they'd mark them on clearance (they sold me a Schrade Toughchip for $5.50), but they must have sent the unsold stuff back.

I've seen SOG at Ace, but not multitools. Just today I bought a Blink and a Seal Pup (The only ones they have).

I was just searching for the answer to this very question when I saw this post (and finally created an account).

Any chance someone from SOG (Maybe Andy) could answer this question?  I'll bet they've got more thorough information than we can muster.

Chris, the Marketing Manager for SOG swings by here often enough, but with secondary resellers and distributors it isn't always clear who sells what and where.
