SOG was nice enough to allow me to share one of their new tools for 2017 and I jumped at the chance. As far as I know, we are the only ones to have this, and so I'm pretty excited to share it.
And so, I would like to introduce the Sync II multitool, coming in 2017 from your SOG retailer!

It is really, really cool to see this- a new design in the plier based tool category! I have to say, I'm pretty thrilled to see it!

As always nice score, thanks for looking out for us. At first glance, I'm like what the heck, then there is this strange attraction that comes over me.

wow, just more money that won't be seeing much wallet time this new year.
Gotta get one. I think 5 oz. is a bit too much, but if it carries nicely I don't see any probs there. PPP weighs similar, and has no scissors!
Can't wait to see what else we have :multi:
Thanks boss!! :salute:
-
Got to say I'm liking that a lot, kind of an updated minitool :tu:
-
:o I :like: the look of that one :cheers: The way it folds up reminds me of the Sebertech M4 :tu: I forget what they are called now :think: IDL something :D
It is still very unique looking and glad to have a first look at it :like: :like: :like:

That is wicked cool! :tu:
:like:

Love it... :tu:
SOG just took the top spot on my "next tool to get" list.
-
Very cool stuff, thanks Def! And thanks SOG for the advanced look! That's a neat design, it reminds me of something I've seen from Swiss+Tech (http://swisstechtools.com/proddetail.aspx?pid=80) but it looks a lot more comfortable in pliers mode. I think we're going to have a lot to look forward to from SOG in 2017. :like:
-
Congratulations on the scoop, Grant, and many thanks to SOG for the advance peek :cheers:

it reminds me a bit of the swisstech keychain pliers tool

I must give them compliments on this one. I would definitely use one of these.

Maybe not.
In this case the belt buckle is the sheath. Belt buckle knives fall under the classification of disguised knives, or something to that effect. This tool is not disguising the fact it is a tool, it just so happens that the sheath is incorporated in the buckle.
I'd need to see clearer pics of it used as a buckle before I could be certain in my own mind. Having said that, if it is outlawed under that law, Heinnies won't list it. If Heinnies list it, you should be fine - with discretion of course (usual small print applies)

YAY SOG!!!!! I am excited. Something unique

That is a rebranded Sebertech M4 and the link I gave above has the Craftsman variation listed in the variations in the wiki on it :cheers: They are great little pliers aren't they :like:
-
:like:, If anyone gets it hopefully they can do comparison pics with the sebertechs and others mentioned. For me it reminds me of the LM Minitool if this ends up being a full size pliers.
-
While I think the comparison to Sebertech M4 and the like is correct, if you look at the Sync II in pliers mode you will notice that the pliers to handle ratio is much different (shorter pliers head, longer handles).
Measured from Kampfs Picture I get a ratio of 1:2.3 for that one, for the Sync II get a ratio of 1:4.1 (both cases pliers:handle length).
Now these measurements are not really precise but a good indication that the Sync will deliver more force to the pliers, making any task with them much easier.

Wow. That's super cool! :tu:

Afterthought:
The more I think about it, the more I think you might be right. All it takes is an overzealous copper, and there's a whole lot of headache you don't need. However, if there is a way of using the "buckle" as a regular belt sheath, that gets round the issue altogether.

It has a clip, you can simply clip it onto your sheath (see last and about 5th to last pictures).

I will try an get some pics of the M4 when I get home and some measurement :cheers: It is about the size of a Micra though and probably not in the same category at all as this tool size-wise :cheers: It just reminds me of it by looks :tu:

Oh, I thought that was something to do with the belt clasp. If it's just a regular clip, then how does the belt work? :think:

Is there SYNCAssist? Belt Buckle with auto blade? No... wait a minute... thats a bad idea...

I would presume you have to take the clip off.
From the text
The Syncs (Notice the plural here, there is MORE) are multi-tools designed to easily be worn with the detachable base as a belt buckle or simply clipped on a pack strap or boot.
And further down:
Sync II fits belts up to 1 3/4", thinner belts up to 1 3/8" are best used with the SYNC I. :ahhh
The thinner belt, implies a smaller base implies a smaller tool... the Sync II has a little brother :ahhh :ahhh :ahhh

OK......

Actually, if you look closely at the two pictures of the base, you can see
From the front, that there are 3 screws.
From the back, that there is the knob for the belt, but the clip is in the way. So, I'm fairly confident that you would have to take off the clip to use it as belt clasp.
-
Ah, so this is one of the buckles for the leather belts not the webbing belts. That makes a little more sense now.
So.... lose the screw and just use the clip in areas where concealed blades are forbidden .... OK :cheers:

Not really, the handles on 45505 are way too short for the pliers that size, and the handles are uncomfortable as hell.
I am liking the Sync has longer handles.

SOG says:
To answer a couple questions people have asked about. The base can be used as either a belt buckle or clip.
And they have sent along the user manual:
SOG Sync I and Sync II User Manual (https://www.dropbox.com/s/efzaj71cdqyi0c6/SOG_SYNC_Instruction_book.pdf?dl=0)
They seem happy that we seem interested in their new products so far! :D

Thanks for that Grant. Nice that they made sure the tool can tweak it's own sheath for the carry options.
So ....... the scissors lock, but the screwdrivers don't.....? :think:
-
I really think this is just what SOG needs.
It's just what I need :D:
-
I am loving it.

Will the tools be of free configuration?
Will we be able to customize them like in other SOGs?
A TSA bladeless tool, for example? :gimme:

The tools must be locking, and the symbol of open padlock in the phillips and flat opener (the black one tools) mean that you have to deploy them to release the lock of the tools.

Finally, new stuff! :tu:
Disco tools are nice, but seeing new items is great.

The tool itself is not part of the buckle, the "sheath" is. You don't need to open your belt buckle to access the tool.

Very interesting tool, I am pretty glad that it locks at least. I wonder what the Sync I looks like

I'm starting to think I should get it. >:(

How the heck did I miss this :facepalm:
SOG :salute: this looks to be a very neat tool and cool way to carry it. I don't think Cali allows belt buckle knives however if theres a way to make it bladeless that would be great.
I can't wait to see this tool.

I don't think this qualifies as a belt buckle knife. The bit that attaches to your belt is a sheath, and it is very obviously a set of pliers.
With California being the big market ot is, I'm certain SOG did their homework on it.

I agree, it is not disguise itself as a belt buckle, I think that considered as open carry.

Well then this SOG is looking more attractive.

The real question, however, is whether or not the pliers can cut through the Wave's eyeglass screwdriver bit. :think:
