When the tools is closed there is a half moon dent and tab, one on either handle that are suppose to keep play from being in the handles when using the screwdrivers and such. But the real way it works is the tools inside press against each other to prevent movement. When you use the medium screwdriver or the knife blade there is serious movement in the handles making usage of these tools difficult.
Nicely done Kampfer.
And congrats for going ANLC!
That is right, we had our first kiss today too.
This thread was started in 2015??! Boy,I have been out of touch!Nice to see the Paratool getting some love!
(though I'm not Poncho. )The older SOG files(1990s-pre-2010 or so) were functionally competitive with LMs and Gerbers of the time(round tip file being their best). Not sure why they switched to inferior files, after the move to outsourced parts, but they did. The newer files function on harder materials better than softer materials; even though they seem like they wouldn't work.The older SOGs have perfect plier alignment. I have yet to see poorly manufactured pliers from SOG, but a few members have reported the issue with newer tools. The Buck Knives BuckTool series is the only other well known brand I know of that made pliers with a side rotational deployment pliers system. It is even more ridiculous and cumbersome than the SOG ParaTool.
