Quite good! I am an electrical engineer, I have tried Leatherman, BUCK and Gerber multitools untill I saw SOG Powerlock. Now I have bought S60, S61 and S69 and the new one which combining the components from S60 and S69 will on my belt all the time. I like Sogs and I will use it just like you!

Crimpers are the one thing I wish my Vic Cybertool had. BTW, I'm surprised those crimps hold since you're not technically crimping them correctly.

I gotta get me a 540 now.

really? why is that?

HaChayalBoded · **Reply #20 on:** April 23, 2011, 09:53:53 PM

Been looking for a "better" crimper on a multi tool for ages. Anything else out there? I used a friends PT-540 recently and although it worked it could be better.

BTW to the OP, you're crimping them incorrectly, turn the terminal 90 degrees. You want that open part to curve inwards towards the wire. Here is a picture of what it would look like on an open barrel terminal.
