Is this what you are needing ?

Wait... yeah, that's what I "may" need. How I did not find it or think of finding it on their website  ??? I guess, because it started with my inquiry as weather the PA covers would fit the PT-540, and the CS rep went ahead and sent me a pair of PL covers, and thing went from there...

I will just buy the covers from them, instead of pestering thr rep again. Hopefully, they will pick the right parts this time.  :P

Thanks, Steve.

You bet  :cheers:

When looking at my PT-540 pair today, I found that there are at least 2 design variations. Look at my pictures, you will see the differences on the pliers and handle designs:
- Piece #1: + Finer lettering on pliers and handle
                  + 2 built-in cover stops on each handle
                  + Thinner pliers tips
                  + Pliers teeth match perfectly (maybe just this piece)
- Piece #2: + Thicker lettering on pliers and handle
                  + 1 built-in cover stop on each handle
                  + Thicker pliers tips
                  + Pliers teeth do not match perfectly (maybe just this piece)

Which one is earlier design? Is this proof that SOG updated design for better user need or just saving on manufacturing purpose? My guess is #1 the earlier design.

I always thought, that SOG made a great mistake discontinuing a classic like the Paladin 540.   A must for telephony, and IT work.  It would be nice to see-it released again; under the SOG branding.  Perhaps as the:  Field Tech Multi

I agree that SOG should release this tool in SOG branding becasue there isn't another tool out there that can compete with this one :salute: the plier head is very awesome and I think they need to try to put them back out into the market :cheers:
