To be nitpicky, SOG came out with the SwitchPlier 2.0 in 2015. The original is a bit older.

Updated Multi-Tool Encyclopedia Timeline:http://wiki.multitool.org/tiki-index.php?page=Multitool+TimelineDid I screw anything up here?
I received some SOG Information from: LOUIS CHAN / Marketing CoordinatorSOG SPECIALTY KNIVES & TOOLS"When did each model come to market?· PowerLock – 1998· PowerLock Traveler – 2015· PowerLock w/ V-Cutter – 2007· PowerLock EOD - 2002· PowerAssist – 2008· CrossCut 2.0 – 2010· CrossCut - 2000· PowerPlay – 2016· Reactor – 2016· Pocket PowerPlier – 1998· MacV Tool – 2016· SwitchPlier 2.0 – 2015· SwitchPlier - 2001· ParaTool – 1993· PowerDuo – 2012· ToolClip - 1990· Micro ToolClip - ~1992-93 (est.)· CrossGrip - 2000· Power Plier – 1994-99 (est.)· Vino - 2001Some of these are estimated. I’m basing a lot of the pre-1999 dates off catalogs and we didn’t do catalogs every year."
Thanks Chako! Nice info to have. One question though,anybody knows when did the Blacktip and PowerPlier come out?
I have detailed information on Coast fixed-plier multi tools that I'll be posting in its own thread, with descriptions and how to determine the year of the tool, changes made, etc. I've only completed the original plier tool, the newer version with the different plier I am still researching, but I have basic info on that as well. Would you want to add the basic release information for this tools to to this timeline?Charles.
