New for 2018! SOG PowerAccess Deluxe Group Buy
on: February 12, 2018, 04:35:51 PM
The first of the 2018 SOG multitools to be available is going to be the PowerAccess Deluxe, the bigger, more powerful version of the 2017 Multitool.org Multitool Of The Year winning SOG PowerAccess, and to help celebrate that, we are going to offer a special rate Group Buy on the SOG PowerAccess Deluxe in The Multitool.org Store!



As usual, I am offering these ON PREORDER ONLY at below MAP Pricing- I am not allowed by my dealer contract with SOG to tell you the price you can purchase these at through this special Multitool.org Store pricing that is not so secretly placed on the PowerAccess Deluxe PREORDER page will give you a subtle hint. 

Well, about as subtle as this:   :twak:



This is the full setup with the nylon sheath and bit set included, brand new in the box, straight from SOG.  And speaking of those swarthy buggers, SOG has told me these will be available to authorized dealers (like The Multitool.org Store for example) towards the end of February, which means you only have about TWO WEEKS to get in on this, at this price!   :ahhh

As usual, see all the pics I have in the Multitool.org Gallery or in The Multitool.org Store:

http://gallery.multitool.org/index.php/SOG/Power-Access-Deluxe

https://store.multitool.org/departments/sog-poweraccess-deluxe-preorder-new-for-2018-269.html

In case you need to know more, SOG has this to say about it:

Quote
If you're looking for beastly multi-tool, nothing competes with the 20 tool strength of the PowerAccess Deluxe. Complete with our compound leverage gripping power, the deluxe has everything you could possibly need.

The latest and greatest addition to the PowerAccess multi-tool family, the PowerAccess Deluxe has the most tools of any SOG product to date. In addition the Deluxe features our compound leverage that you know and love, for the most possible strength. And if that wasn't enough, it comes with a magnetic hex bit holder that's fully compatible with our hex bit kit.  With all this, the Power Access Deluxe has anything and everything you need.

Includes nylon sheath with 12 piece hex bit kit. The hex bit kit includes the following: Phillips #1, #2, #3 Flathead: #3, #5, #7 Star-drive: T6, T8, T10, T20 Hex: 1.5 mm, 2 mm.

They go on to talk about how much they love Multitool.org and fully support us and they think that everyone here is very handsome and well dressed and they like that members here support The Multitool.org Store every chance they get.  Okay, maybe they didn't say that, but they can be shy, and I felt that they would want to say that if they could get their courage up enough.

Any questions?

Nice try, but not this time!

It appears that hint was lost on most people last time so I tried to be a bit less subtle this time.  :D

Agreed, on both counts. Are there more economical shipping options to the EU? I hope I'm not giving away too much when I say that shipping costs that amount to over a third the price of this tool are a bit steep...  ;)

I believe if you register your MT.o store account and set up your shipping adress, you can add the SOG to your cart and begin the checkout process. It should give you a shipping quote if the UK is in the MT.o store database.
I am not 100% sure, but it's worth a try. Grant's shipping charges seem to be very reasonable.  :tu:

I don't want to step on Def's toes here but I suspect something is off with the postage costs for this item.
If you're serious about buying then flick him an email or PM and go from there.

It's just unfortunate postage is so expensive
But this is the same in the uk and the rest of Europe  :rant:
I'm sure the price is right, but if it could be done cheaper
Than yes I would be very interested :tu: :like:

I'll have a closer look, but the postage is straight from Canada Post, based on the size and weight of the packaging- and SOG likes big packages.  I am willing to work with folks and remove the packaging to try and bring costs down.

There is a cheaper option for shipping, called International Surface Mail, which is an option I have removed from the shipping component as it takes about three months for the item to arrive and that truly is unacceptable.

SOG packaging is VERY good and easy to open, but not quite shippable, because the tool sits close to the box front where you can see it easily.

Maybe PM Grant about his offer to remove the packaging(that is awesome of him to offer). The tool should be strong enough to survive in a bubble mailer with a bit of protective wrapping.  :cheers:

SOG packaging is a large rectangular cardboard box with a plastic insert that holds the tool and accessories.  I'll post a pic tomorrow.

Taking it out of the box and shipping just the tool and accessories in a smaller box or bubble mailer would make a huge difference on price I'm sure. 

Also, please remember that the Power Access Deluxe is a huge tool and weighs a fair bit on its own.

If you place a pre-order then you will pay the going rate for the shipping with all of the packaging etc.  If you are interested in it without the packaging, send me a PM with your address and I will get you a shipping quote without the packaging and, if you decide you want to proceed at that point, give me your Paypal address and I will send you an invoice with the updated shipping info.

That goes for anything in the store- if you ever want to try and save a bit on shipping and want to know if the packaging could be reduced, feel free to send me a PM either here, by email at grant@multitool.org or through the store contact.
