"We add three – well, maybe four, but more on that below – additions to our multi-tool line for the upcoming year, rounding out our offerings for every type of multi-tool user. We start with the PowerAccess Deluxe, which is a beefed-up version of the PowerAccess, a well-received addition to the line up in 2017. The Deluxe is, in a word, beastly. Twenty tools. Plier heads with our famous Compound Leverage that make cutting smoother and easier. A 2.75-inch straight blade and a 12-piece hex bit and ¼” driver. It’s the entire package. Two other traditional-styled multi-tools are welcomed into the fold as well. Our new PowerLitre ($67) and PowerPint ($64) come in with attractive price points. The PowerLitre offers a tool many have been asking about for years – a corkscrew, while the smaller PowerPint (it weighs in at 4.2 ounces) has 19 tools. Both have Compound Leverage in the plier heads, too."

I haven't even received my PowerAccess yet and now it's an old model? :facepalm: :rofl:

hopefully this PowerAccess will be the worthy successor of the Powerlock, adn what the PowerPlay should've been :salute:

I doubt it'll be any better than the PowerAccess. They probably just replaced the flat scales with the flared scales from the other side of the handle to allow room for two additional long tools. If they don't address the lock issue it'll be a huge failure on their part. Honestly, the PowerAccess would be fine if they fixed the lock. We shall see
The PowerAccess is more of a PPP replacement. The PowerGrab is more of the successor for the PowerLock

Here I was... thinking the PowerLitre was the metric version of the PowerPint and wanted to comment it should be called PowerMass. :facepalm:

The Powerpint is only 4.2 oz, lighter than the Skeletool and better equiped. Compound leverage, drivers, 2 blades, file, scissors (and unassisted opening for blade, banned in most countries!!!)
The dream come true!!! :drool: :ahhh :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:
P.S:: By the way. Happy new year to everybody and happy to be here again with you guys!, Cheers!!! :drink:

Sweet Jesus it has a pocket clip!

The PowerAccess deluxe lost the pocket clip.
Nothing on the PowerLitre, might be too early in the year.

Okay, seeing that PowerPint on video really impresses me. It's got to be just a little bit bigger than a Leatherman Leap or Freestyle. I wish the clip was a bit deeper but I think the PP hits a lot of the most essential items on an compact EDC multitool. I think this one is gonna stick around. The tools look like they are locking, right?
-
If the tool has a bit driver built into the pliers when closed, why have separate drivers? Surely that space could have been saved and the tools made thinner, or used for different tools. Maybe they should have used that space altogether on one handle to have some sort of bit storage system.
-
the PowerPint looks like it'll be a big hit
I really dig it so far :tu:

The same I was thinking
Looks smaller than a SOG PPP, but It doesn´t look so light 4,2 oz!!! ??? :o :o :o :o

Some of us don't want to deal with carrying hex bits :pok:
I don't mind the hex bit driver. It is more useful than the usual crimpers that go there, and doesn't take up other valuable tool space. Plus, they serve to keep the gear teeth out of my palm.
-
For years I've referred to the teeth as the gears of madness (Soul Caliber reference). We love compound leverage but hated them digging into your hands. The gear covers were a step in the right direction but this dual setup for gear protection and bit driver works best of all.

My point is actually the opposite, I think the incorporation of a bit driver in the pliers is clever, I just wish they had then not wasted space on the tool with fixed drivers.

The remaining one

I like the corkscrew assist, very neat. It'll never compare to the Flair but people should fall all over this.

Someone "anthorised factory outlet" from eBay is selling these 3 models now. I sent an email to him to ask if they are preorder or in stock.

I'd say preorders, shipping info says:
Delivery:
Estimated between Mon. Feb. 5 and Mon. Feb. 12
This item has an extended handling time and a delivery estimate greater than 10 business days.
The PowerAccess Deluxe and PowerPint may be released right after SHOT and shipped to dealers. The PowerLitre isn't due out till later this year I'm told.
