Entry to SOG tools
on: February 23, 2011, 10:49:17 AM
I received my Powelock (S60) today.
This is my first SOG multitool.

I am a Leatherman fan with the Leatherman Surge as my EDC.

Two weeks ago I bought a Victorinox Swizztool secondhand for a price that I could not turn down. This was my first multitool (with pliers) that I own other than a Leatherman make). I only keep this as part of my collection as I can not use it because my nails are too soft.

After I have seen a friend's pocket pliers of SOG I just had to have one.
I browsed the local reseller here in SA and I ordered the Powerlock.

I am satisfied on the one hand and dissatisfied on the other hand.

Quality and abilities, finishing, etc. is even better than I have foreseen. This is a serious tool, although the critics say it is basic.

I am dissatisfied because of the money: now I have to buy all the other models just purely because I want them.
But now on the other hand men grow up but remain boys. Just their toys get more expensive.

The Powerlock is worth the money I have spend on it.
Regards
Johan

The Powerlock was my very first multitool and to this day, it's still my all-time favourite.  You're right, it's a serious tool!  :)
This is called a Swiss Army Knife. Do you know what Switzerland is? Switzerland is a place where they don't like to fight, so they get people to do their fighting for them while they ski and eat chocolate. - Larry David

SOG Paratool was my first MT and the Powerlock was it's replacement when it retired in 2008. Powerlock kicks ass!
There is no problem that cannot be solved by the use of high explosives.
