About a year or so ago, my local Lowe's kind of closed out their inventory on pocket knives, etc. They have been replacing them with brands I am more interested in- Vic, LM, and now SOG! They had two knives, but the multi they were selling was the Powerlock...

My local Lowes sells LM Wave, Blast and Surge. 1 Kobalt tool, SOG PowerLock and a Gerber Suspension. Just like you guys my Lowes has really cut down on multitools. I got my SwissTool at the same Lowes a couple of years ago. AN interesting note to all you SOG fans. I stopped by there yesterday and I noticed that the PowerLock on sale had the new plier head design.
I think the reason you are seeing more of the V-Cutter than the scissors is that we have been selling more with the V-Cutter. That would place more out in the market and therefor more for sale on the bay. At least that is my theory. As for the new tool features (plier head, gear cover and piano locks). You might find some tools out in the next month or two with the new plier head. The gear covers and piano locks will be implemented at the same time. I hope that makes sense to you.Chris
Yea I stood there in the tool section drooling over the PowerLock with the new plier head. Trying to convince myself not the buy it and wait for the piano lock and gear covers. It was hard but I decided to wait.
Resisting the urge to buy? How dare you! If we still had the old karma system I'd smite you for that
