new powerlock looks nice

[raptor]

a mechanism to protect the gear wheel and the piano lock is better 

[Leatherman123]

IMO, the piano locks do not stop clumping sufficiently!

[Smitty44]

Thanks for the pic's,really like the gear covers.

[hawkchucker]

I like clumping. It makes it easier to get the tool I need out!!

[Benner]

Can't really comment on the piano locks, but the main reason I traded away my powerlock was because of the exposed gears.  The covers are a huge improvement IMO.

[gafftapegreenia]

I've been eyeing the Powerlock for a while, but won't buy one until I'm absolutely sure it has the gear covers. None of the Powerlock's at my Lowe's have the covers.

[Medic82]

I have the old Powerlock with the exposed gears and they don’t bother me at all, but I want too try out the pianolocks. So, when I buy Powerlock nr 2 I’m getting the new one with the works.

When you buy a SOG you buy quality.

[Leatherman123]

Yeah, SOG has great quality.. But, most of their designs are outdated. By this, I mean like the LONG process it is to get at an implement.. Or even the single ground knife blade.. I mean come on, SOG is a knife company right?

right.leatherman innovates more than SOG.

Ok, so SOG made a HUGE mistake when it comes to the knife, they also made a big mistake when they started too use the new can openers, butt that don’t mean they sucks balls. SOG will hopefully listen too the users and get rid of the single ground knife and the process too get the tools out is just fine and causes me no problem.

right.leatherman innovates more than SOG.

SOG has it’s design flaws, just as LM. LM and SOG have innovated there own thing, SOG with the compound leverage and LM with the OHO blades on their tools. I love SOG and the tools they make, I also like LM butt not just as much as SOG. LM and SOG have their advantages and downsides. If you hate SOG butt love LM I wont hold anything against you. In my mind, SOG have innovated just as much as LM have. Either way, buy a LM or SOG you buy a tool with quality

[Leatherman123]

IMO, SOG spends too much time putting unnecessary things like assisted opening blades on multitools. They could have been working on a PowerLock with outside opening blades..

Like I have said before, someone has to give these new things a go and it is thinking like this that gives us the varied models we have today.

[Leatherman123]

Yeah, but before they experiment with new things they should improve their designs! Just get rid of the damn wings on the PowerLock!

But everyone might not feel the same as you about the covers.

[Medic82]

And you can remove the covers. If you don't like SOG then don't buye it or use the MT from them, simpel. I love SOG and they have their flaws butt I still love them.

Have you had any more thoughts on the covers on yours?

[Medic82]

I haven’t used the pliers that much so I have not made up my mind yet, so far I have been using it without the covers and I like it. It’s more important for me too get the tools out without the covers in my way than plier comfort. Better start EDC it with the covers on soon before I get too used to not having them.

[Leatherman123]

Medic, did you order your Wave and SwissTool?

[Medic82]

Swisstool on the way. The Wave was gone when i was going too buye it

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

You'll love the Swisstool mate

[Medic82]

Found a shop that had a SwissTool, but it was so F***ng expensive, it cost's 195$ in Norway. I say no F'ing way I'm buyeing a Swisstool for that, thank God for Felinevet and the low prise of 70$ w/shipping.

Can't argue with that

Back on topic, how are you getting on with the SOG now you've had it a while

[Medic82]

Doing great!! I use it all the time and I still haven't putt the tool covers back on (better do it soon or I will forget it). Switcht the 1/2 serated 1/2 straight blade with a straight blade.

Have in fact been stopped by a cop on Friday when I was walking home from work and burning the midnight oil. He searched me and found my small and discreet Powerlock on my belt. He took it out of the sheath and looked at it while he was telling me the reason for stopping me was that he saw the sheath on my belt. He admired it for a minute or so, taking the tools out and asking about the gears. So I told him about the compound leverage and where to buy one, also talked about MTO.

So, me + Powerlock = Great team.

Think we'd want to migrate to the US? We could always use more sensible cops.Good to see you out preaching to the masses,did you make a convert?

[Medic82]

Hard to say, he was a little bit stressed out when I talked to him, the cops got ALOT too do on Friday nights in Oslo. He said that he didn’t know about MT from SOG, Gerber or Victorinox, just LM.
So let’s hope he saw the light.

I think cop's have a lot to do on a friday night regardless of where they are in the world

[carl]

I'm glad the piano locks are an improvement.  SOG, please just concentrate on better BASIC concepts like outside-opening tools, one-handed blades, and decent locks.  That's what makes a winner, not gadgetry.  Who even misses MTs like the out-of-production Switchplier ?
