[matt]

I am having a birthday in a couple of days and my wife let me pick out a sog powerlock,I chose the black powerlock with eod crimpers.I have many other tools (an original pst,3pst two's,an original wave,supertool 200,fuse,pulse,blast,two swiss tool spirits,a swiss tool rx,two gerber multi tools and a gerber recoil,along with many sak's)so I am not new to multitools.what do you guys think of the  powerlock?how will it compate to the tools I already have?I requested a sog catalog a couple months ago and thought the sog looked like a good hard use tool.what do the experts think?

The PowerLock definitely has a lot going for it. I like the unique compound leverage action (although it has downsides too). The fit and finish on SOG tools is second only to maybe Victorinox. You'll appreciate that about it. My only real annoyance is with the grip-flaps. They get in my way, so I usually pop them off when I'm carrying the SOG.

It's nice to see so many people considering getting a SOG...every forum I visit seems to have a thread or two like this.

The Powerlock is a grade A heavy duty tool.  Ebay usually has some good deals on Powerlocks.
