That’s a shame that it hits the lock notch
Just thinking if you could grind
the notch down a bit so that it won’t hit :think: :tu:
The notch on the blade is too big so doesn't help to grind of anything.

That’s annoying  :think:
What mods are you planning on doing RF52  :tu:
Haven't decided just yet, but it will be some easy swaps and nothing complicated and fancy Maybe change the 50/50 blade for a PE blade. Have also been thinking of getting the wirestripper, but the wirecutter does a good job at stripping cables. Have to see what is easily available over here too

Day 13:

Opened up some boxes and bags containing brake parts today so the Powerlock didn't see much use.

And a bonus pic from the woods after work

Thanks guys

Day 14:

Used the cutters to cut a small spring and the cutters took some damage again, not at all impressed by them

Used the pliers to twist a steel wire to fasten a spring to keep a hatch closed but still able to open without having too lock it.
No problems there

I'm surprised that the cutters are being damaged. I cut some pretty heavy wire with mine, and they did pretty well. Maybe not perfectly, but no serious damage. Keep using those and see how they hold up!

I ruined those on my PL and they still have that ugly dent like a big gaping hole when closed,  :facepalm:
also...I think that SOG replaces the pliers head for a moderate price,
but I am not 100% sure about that  ???

Day 15:

Used the blade to open a package, and to cut some door seals to lenght. Did a good job as awlways

Used the bit driver to screw a couple of screws as I needed a bigger phillips. Worked very well

Used the ruler on the handles to measure the door seals so I knew where too cut. Works in a pinch or lazy moment when you don't have too be all that accurate

The file got used to file down some rivets that was holding an inverter for passenger lights. Still quite surprised how well it performs

And last the phillips helped remove and put back the light fixture. Also does a good job
