First impressions are good about the tool, it's big but not too big. The tool loadout seems good, the knife is sharp and it seems to be a good layout for work carry
What I'm a bit suspecious about is the file, not quite sure it can knock over the MP800 file that has seen a lot of use but we'll see.Never tried a Sog before so it was a bit unusual to not be able to open one handle as usual but I'll get used to it.
Day 1: Used the knife to cut a brakesnake(hose) for the parking brake at a bus at work, no problems there
And compared the philips driver to the philips on the MP800, Powerlock beeing the clear winner with longer reach and brand new and not mangled

This should be interesting to watch your challenge thread. I, for one, do like the PowerLock, so it'll be cool reading your thoughts on it.
The metal Gerber uses on their files seems to hold up better than any other file metal on other MTs. But, we'll see if the SOG PL file cancone through when needed. :salute:

Used the flat driver to pry open a rubber cover to get access to the brake cylinder.
Tried the scissor on a zip tie, failed at that but did not really think they would make the cut.
Used the wire cutter to finish the zip tie job

I used my PL knife less scissors on several materials and they worked phenomenally well. I think Nix had a defective set of scissors on his (now RF's) PowerLock. I'll do some comparison testing this evening(after work), as I now have two SOGs with those same scissors. And I always caution anyone to be weary of judging a tool as a whole, just by one person's example and experiences with it(I trust Nix to be honest, but I don't trust every example of a tool to represent the whole of the model). :ahhh

Good points, G-man. :tu:I had forgotten about you having received two! Very cool you sent him the new one. :salute:
(and I still have my Powerlock. RF got the second one that SOG sent me, NIB.)
I'd like to see if his scissors will cut strong, light paracord, and other reasonable materials. I will do the same at some point. The PL traveler and PowerGrab have those scissors. The Traveler also has modified handle covers, that solve some of the issues you had with the tools. The phillips on the traveler will open 90 degrees with the cover closed, and the scissors sit perfectly inside the handles. Such a widely different set of things with these PLs. It is almost like SOG uses parts from different years to build PLs, even if the parts are not the best fit with each other. :ahhh :facepalm:

I don't think you'll ever find non-Vic scissors to be as good as Vic scissors(with exception to the Surge, that has the best MT scissors out there for heavy duty small-scissors tasks). And I think it boils down to the fact that Vic strongly goes after companies that rip-off their scissor design.
Which is understandable.

Not so good with onion and I didn't even try the lettuce.
Not impressed by the can opener, but it does the job

Paper test for the scissors, they cut but are a bit awkward to use for long cuts so the result is not pretty but they do get the job done.
Used the bit holder to screw a signaling light in place. Works very well
Used the needlenose pliers to give the cable connections the final nudge to lock in the contact I like that they are really slim and pointy
And the wire cutter to strip a couple of wires. So far I think they are very good.
Overall a good start of the day and the powerlock has been very good
Have also opened a few boxes, no pics.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180819/2b40063ea7c9a7e79c491d60c1a11381.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180819/7d4aa573add0197ae21751cec86cad72.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180819/06f55197809416f9dd1f4a0bce12ec6f.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180819/f8908b0a4eaa7f920c006c071d03c7ec.jpg)

I don't awlways use a MT this much, but it's been a lot of good tests for the Powerlock available at work Day 3 continued:
Cut some hoses for a couple of coolant leaks. Works like a charm, but I may want to get a PE blade and serrated blade eventually.
Used the ruler to measure a lambda censor so I could get the right spanner, mostly just to see how easy/awkward it was to use. Probably works better for measuring where you want to cut something like wood or a metal sheeth
And the knife to open the packet the censor came in.
Also tried the wire crimper and used the phillips driver to check the rear lift on a rental car we used to get our new bed, got the lift to work and we got the bed home, no pics
Thanks for following guys, makes the whole challenge much more fun

The file did a good job on removing sharp edges from a modified socket at work. A bit surprised that it removed metal at all considering how it looks. Only wish they had made it all the way to the edge to get a more useful file
No problem using the wood saw on small branches, had to test it while walking the dog in the woods
The knife was not perfect working with wood, but it's half serrated so did not expect it to be.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180820/f968d9a5c4677702acf58f3cf7ac120c.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180820/168a296088de4e4d7066dc5fbf78f3a3.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180820/8427afb275c34a4d31d400076133264d.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180820/9690a2560109e47a92fe8bce2ddb4ea4.jpg)

Used the scissors to open a packet of grease for a new brake calipper, I think they cut well just a little awkward to use.
Needlenose pliers to remove staples for a brake calipper box, easy to get under with the thin end on the pliers

Day 7 continued:
Flathead driver to open a hatch, did great as usual.
Tried the cutters on a welding wire. Some marks but I don't think it makes a whole lot of difference on performance, not yet at least. We'll see how it holds up
Scissors did great at cutting some shrink tube
Seems I was a bit luckier with the scissors than others here.Wire crimper worked great, as long as it's not too thight a space

Surprised that you got marks
on the pliers for cutting welding wire
Looks like it’s only mig welding wire only about 1.6mm :think:

A beauty pic from the woods today.
Great to start the day with a 2+ hour walk in the woods with the dog
And tried the file on a small branch, did file the wood but it's a very fine file(both sides)
And I still would like it to be all the way out.
That is probably it for today as I have the day of and we are going to a concert later this evening

I’m jealous of dogs. They don't seem to have the cold water problem that guys do...Me too, they just don't have any kind of cold problems we do(at least my dog doesn't). He has even gone through the ice in the winter a couple of times without getting cold.

As far as dogs dealing with cold. My late pug hated the cold, and the heat for that matter. He had a fan at his bed all summer and a heater by his bed all winter. And his bed was in the air conditioned house(living room). He was really wimpy for a dog. :facepalm:

Awesome pup, RF52! :like:Short nosed dogs usually have more weather related problems because they can't ventilate properly, which is very sad because they are cool dogs.

Very true. I forget that sometimes. Although, we did have the nasal enlargement surgery done on him as a puppy and he never suffered much breathing issues like a lot of pugs do. But, that doesn't fix the ventilation temperature modulation. Like you said, the shortened snout made it more difficult to ventilate. :(Very good that they can do that to improve breathing at least

Used the scissors to cut a finger of a rubber glove to keep my finger away from to much dirt and oil as I slipped with a knife while camping and cut of a piece.
It's not to bad but the fingers bleed like a smurf.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180827/375804abd85fe009d60f707a53045880.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180827/b2698bf8c9a169ea712be225e1b5014a.jpg)

Those scissors can cut a glove like that, then they are pretty good. IMO.
I find latex/vinyl/nitrile gloves tend to bind up in small scissors, even some SAK scissors.

Maybe check the blade tang and see if it has enough "rise" to prevent the blade edge from hitting the inside of the handle? I haven't noted this on a PL, but I only have two newer ones, so not a big enough selection to know if this is a problem or not. :dunno:
I have a BuckTool that has a tang without enough "rise" and the lock button hits the blade edge. :ahhh
So, just throwing ideas around. Hopefully that isn't the case, because the fixes are frustrating (re-edge the PE portion passed the point of contact, replace blade, send in for repair).
Post by: RF52 on August 28, 2018, 06:50:41 PM
RF52,It does hit the inside of the handle, I can see a small mark that is shinier than the rest of the handle and I believe it's the lock notch in the closed position that is the problem since I can move it up and down quite a bit when it's closed.

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

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

Used the pliers to fix a ear decorative thingy(can't remember what they are called) for the wife. Easy to do with the thin needlenose pliers
Used the phillips to hang a couple of decorative shelves on the wall. Did good as usual
And cut open a wood glue bottle with the knife

Starting of with a beauty pic from a walk in the woods with my buddy who snook in the pic.
Used the scissor to open a packet from Benchmade(deep carry pocket clip).
Open some dog treats
And to cut some plastic string thingy as a test. Did good on all jobs, but a little hard to cut the string if I went too fast
Used the phillips and needlenose pliers to change a light bulb on a bus doorlight. Did great
Used the knife to open plastic packaging for some valve cover gasket. No problems there
And the large flathead to open the engine hatch. All good

Used the phillips to unscrew a couple of filter covers. The phillips works great as awlways
Used the flat driver to pry open one of the covers, only light prying needed
And last the blade cut some plastic to release a filter

Scissors cut open a snack pack for the dog after work
Flathead driver to open engine hatches
Tested the awl and drilled a hole in a trash can about 5mm thick plastic, worked like a charm
And the knife cut open some bags with gaskets

Used the needlenose pliers too wiggle of the bushings on a slow work in progress SAK mod.
Adjusted the headlights with the flat driver.
Cut a of a broom handle with the saw.
Compound leverage pliers to the rescue when the screw under the nut also came loose and had to hold it with something to not tear apart ignition wires. Compound leverage is a great idea
Cut of excess gasket with the scissors.
And open some packs of spark plugs with the knife.
A good day for the Powerlock :cheers:(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180906/b0288f814afaa817293fbed7f2352f5a.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180906/3f70b616263cb6dd59518f256a67c0ba.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180906/1d2d2903df528023c7878a2ec35f4447.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180906/36620c56270246439580b97fb48bad24.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180906/5d1cd1be015f3afb1d2c9f954173226e.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180906/01e23e8b99945f9a09a3b7c8878137f8.jpg)

Used the knife to open some brake parts and a box with a new pulley
Flat driver helped change a filter
Phillips to thighten a panel on a door
Pliers to reattach a wire for the height adjustment on the driver seat
Really like the Powerlock

aaaand that is the reason why the TSA won't allow even bladeless Powerlocks on their planes. ??? :P

Balancing act in the woods.
And the flathead and pliers helped with placing a new wick in my Zippo

PL saw some work today cutting zip-ties.
Bent and cut a brass rod for a makeshift dust cleaning thingy.
Cut off a warning label with the knife.
Cut some year marks with the scissors.
Used the pliers to remove some fire supression covers, and as a bit driver.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180914/d9cf6448598cf0def0bcb8074acce95c.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180914/072e6e87ba62b39e21e5da81888f9b05.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180914/174fd5cc4e02513667db6d467b5b414b.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180914/fa03b209c61b2266db1610983f98979f.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180914/b5d1173727d553d7f35eb99ce673b497.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180914/20a9239a907c478a3d716f7e5be3c580.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180914/ce7bc88b62ae6081ccaab2ab2c6e6f98.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180914/5c5485d7511ba312ba608c6ba007b1f1.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180914/ecc01d43aa1b3501ffaa5030378c22a0.jpg)

Great challenge RF52, and kudos to you to keep this up all by yourself and with so many pics and great uses for the Powerlock :2tu:
It makes me wish for one as well... perhaps as a knifeless one for carrying in the UK...
Thanks to Nix too, who I understand was the purveyor to the court :D and to the other supporters for, well, their support :D in what can't always have been an easy challenge. Last day today and you'll have earned your badge in spades!

Found some uses on the last day also
Pliers to hold a piece of brass I was cutting which got to hot for my fingers.
Loosening and thightening some bolts on a bandsaw.
Cutting open some meat and veggies for dinner.
A couple of beauty shots from the woods.
And removed some decorative stitching from a belt with the knife and can opener.
A good ending to the challenge.
I have gotten real fond of the PL during this month of use, and haven't had much issues with it except for soft wire cutters and that the knife hits the inside of the handles when closed.
Overall I would recommend the PL to anyone looking for a good, sturdy tool
Thank you very much for keeping me company and a BIG thanks too Nix for making it possible :cheers: :hatsoff:(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180915/a81fb37cb6594caf7df9427e6215992f.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180915/8e5e5fc5c859499a546626c3a6d6d660.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180915/83d2724b5feab3bac29d7457cb473155.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180915/c021cafb38c4ff54e0c2532e81024444.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180915/d929f751a41c285754908fd6cc4260c9.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180915/2f67f65d79cc7a9f5ee717404b1a3e5d.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180915/a44d9a8a4f91030268d56b27b78fa6df.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180915/a9c19fd20d86bbfda41f424edc1ea7f7.jpg)

Do you think you will use the Powerlock for edc :tu:
Post by: RF52 on September 15, 2018, 10:13:55 PM
I'm considering it, but might make it bladeless so it's a bit more legal around here
Or it might be my work carry where it will see the most use Sent fra min FRD-L09 via Tapatalk
