May the Power be with you
on: May 12, 2018, 02:06:31 PM
On June 1st we are starting a 30 day Challenge
With the SOG Power Access and
The SOG Power Access Deluxe

You only need one of the SOG models to join
It will be a great way to test all off the tools
As we have made a checklist for both models
The Pa and for the PAD

On the checklist are specific tasks to complete
Over the 30 day period of the challenge
Nothing to complicated or time consuming

The checklist can be downloaded on the challenge thread
Or pm gerleatherberman, Nix or Wspeed
For a PDF copy of the checklist

So far we have 4 members for the challenge
And would love to have more members join us
The list so far:

01 - Nix
02 - Wspeed
03 - gerleatherberman
04 - Don Pablo

If you are interested with joining the challenge
Or if you would like to follow the challenge
Than click on the link below:

I'm personally stoked about the upcoming PA/PAD challenge! My initial thoughts about the PowerAccess Deluxe are good, so this is a great way to find out if it can stand up to 30 days at my work restoring antique furniture. :woohoo:

I'm headed out on a road trip now.....

SOG PAD is packed in my bag. I'm thinking of this trip as a 'warm-up' for the 30-day challenge. Of course, it's not clear how much use it will get on the road, but the 30-day challenge should cover all the tools and be a lot of fun.

Looking forward to the challenge, guys!  :cheers:

well if not because I don't buy new tools and gadgets anymore, I'd probably have this one already  :ahhh as I'm a devoted SOG fan and have had most of their tools, even multiples of my favorite models  :whistle:

But now I'm reducing and downsixing the collection, not expanding it.
In any case I'll follow with interest to see how SOG fares in regards to innovation + QC as they've been putting out very clever and attractive designs  ::) as of late but with a number of issues in each and every of them,  :P

so maybe this will redeem SOG in my eyes and will make them the next Multitool company to look for if I get back to the ame and acquire a new tool to refresh the collection  :cheers:

Good luck to you all and enjoy the tool, on paper seems like very capable and even fun to carry and use  :tu:

Thank you,  TP! :cheers:

I sure hope we have an encouraging experience with the PAD that entices you to rethink the new SOGs.

Good luck to you all :salute: I have had a SOG or 2 (I still have a couple ;) ) and never got quite bitten by the bug for them :think: I was at a store Friday that had several SOGs but didn't see either of those models or else I might have ended up with one ::) :D

This is why we are having the challenge
To find out if these tools are any good
Never had a SOG MT tool before
So it will be very interesting to see if
These tools are up to being used everyday 
And are worth buying  :salute:

That'd be bad to the bone if they'd polish the PAD handles/tools as well. :multi:
