Here are some size comparison shots of the SOG next to the Skeletool, Sideclip, Kick, PPP, Reactor and Wingman. I wanted folks to see the size of the tool, it's very much like the aforementioned tools. I had go hold the Wingman due to the spring back of the handles. Overall I would say this is a direct copy of the Pocketpliers but modified so the tools can be opened from a closed position.

Sorry for the horrible pics, weather is nasty and lighting sucks. I'll have better pics when I can. Overall first impressions are good, I like the tool. Locks are a little funky and had to tighten up a pivot for some tools but I can see it being as good as my PPP.

Is it as thin as a Pocket PowerPlier?

Just a tad thicker

Very cool that they made a tool in that size range that looks beefy enough to be in the next size range up :o :like: :like: Can't wait to hear your thoughts on it after a bit of carry :tu:

Anymore thoughts after using it more DB?
I checked one out at my local REI yesterday. It was cool. I really like the size factor and it felt good in my hand. The pocket clips great and one handed plier opening is nice. I really like the finish and design. It's unique.
The lock up I felt was strange. Since the tools open on the outside, the lock/unlock is on the inside, ala the closed handles. Not the end of the world, just different (for obvious reasons). Also the blade felt really really tiny. Everything else I liked. Has a cool philips driver and 4 flatheads! No saw or serrated blade, but cool awl ;)
All in all, with my extremely limited knowledge of SOG. I think this is my fave :cheers:

I've been using the tool quite a bit since I've gotten it. I love the size, everything I enjoyed about the PPP but with a clip and locks. The clip works well and retention is good, no issues with putting it in my pocket or removal. You mentioned about accessing the tools, I don't have too much trouble except accessing a couple tools. I'm having to use clumping to my advantage to access those hard to reach ones. The locking mechanism works well and after some practice unlocking feels quite natural. Hadn't used all the individual tools yet but I'm sure I will. The PA has become my favorite tool right now and has bumped out the others except on my off days.
