J-sews · **on:** December 07, 2006, 04:10:26 AM

So you finally got a SOG ToolClip eh? Well sit on down a spell and tell us all about it!
Where did you get it? How do you like it so far? Any pictures to post yet?

Details man, we need details!

Hehe... I got it off ebay. More than likely, I overpaid... but I don't care. Should be here soon. I'll post some pics when I get it.

Yea, you paid quite a bit, I was watching that auction

665ae · **Reply #3 on:** December 08, 2006, 12:59:04 AM

I kind of figured... I had set a limit of $50 for a new in box one... and that's what I paid.

I dunno, that's not so bad for new in box.

Back when a new Leatherman PST was $24.99, and a Gerber MultiPlier was $21.99, I can remember the SOG ToolClip costing over $60.00. I wanted one, but couldn't afford it. I waited darn near ten years before I finally found one clearance priced at a sporting goods store downstate.

(It was worth the wait. This thing is built like a tank!)

How many different color combinations were there with the Toolclip? From the pics, the one I'm getting has a grey body with a black plier head and handle. I know pics can be deceiving though...

Here's the pic from the auction listing...

Do you REALLY want to know?

665ae · **Reply #7 on:** December 08, 2006, 02:57:00 AM

Hehe... yeah, I really want to know.

My "Buck Multitools wanted" list has gone from 2 to 7... why shouldn't my "SOG Mulitools wanted" list do the same?

J-sews · **Reply #8 on:** December 08, 2006, 03:11:08 AM

Hah! You're wallet is lucky; I was just teasing. There is only the one color scheme. The plier head and handle have a dark, bead blasted finish, while the side panels and rest of the tool are brushed and shiny.

It makes for a nice contrast.

Don't tell him about all the colors available for the mini Toolclip then!

Yeah, I saw in Bob's SOG photo the other day that he had a yellow one... I'm trying to resist. Although, I am kind of curious what colors the mini was available in.

Grant Lamontagne · **Reply #11 on:** December 08, 2006, 03:54:31 AM

I've seen them in green, red, yellow and black.

I received the ToolClip in the mail today. I could tell as soon as I pulled it out of the mailbox that it's a serious chunk of metal. It definately feels solid. I'm going to take it to work today and try it out.

J-sews · **Reply #13 on:** December 09, 2006, 12:50:49 AM

You got it already? Great!

BTW, while there is indeed only one color scheme, there are TWO versions of the full-sized ToolClip. The selection of blades is the only difference.

Can't wait to hear which one you got........

665ae · **Reply #14 on:** December 09, 2006, 06:54:12 AM

I was going to try to describe the blades... but I figured it'd be easier to just take a picture.

J-sews · **Reply #15 on:** December 09, 2006, 07:10:16 PM

Awesome!
You've got what I call the "first" version.

Pictured below is what I call the "second" version. The big spear point knife blade is the same, but notice the differences on the other two blades.

J-sews · **Reply #16 on:** December 12, 2006, 04:15:12 AM

BTW, be careful with that little metal guard thingy that goes over the serrated knife blade. I lost mine somewhere.

Although I don't really miss it. I'm not sure that it actually does anything?

The now infamous 108mm Victorinox saws have the same thing. I assume it is to protect your hands when you choke up on the tools on the end- in this case the screwdriver, but on the 108mm Vics it could be the combo tool too. Getting a firm grip on saw teeth seems like a bad idea.

I have nothing good to add to this thread.

I remember those SOG tools advertised in Us Cavalry back in the 1980's. I always thought they were neat. I think they sold for about $80.

Grant Lamontagne · **Reply #19 on:** December 21, 2006, 02:13:06 AM

Who says you have to wait for anything good to say? Look at how many pointless posts I make!

Yah, for the longest time the ToolClip was twice as expensive as any other multitool on the market. They are solid as a rock though. Current multitools are a lot more sophisticated, with more functions, but nothing beats a ToolClip for just bashing around and doing real work.

On another thread Def and I were chatting about a clone of this I used to have. Even the clone was a very useful multitool and I often thought that sometime I would like to get an original. Looks really good. Good luck with your new multitool, don't keep it in a box, it was meant to be used, use it and enjoy it!
