Do not buy the powerduo.... Nuff said..
Thanks guy's , i think i will try a used one on ebay and then make up my mind about getting more
I gotta stick up for the SOGs here!Personally I feel the PPPs and the Paratools are the best of the bunch.I've had both the PowerAssist,and the Powerlock.Gotta say I'd love to add a PowerPlier too.The Powerassist I just plain don't like,mostly because of the'switchblades',and the rather dodgy safety locks.I had no particular issue with the Powerlock other than the size....that and I liked Zeds Kukris rather more I've never had a problem with the pliers folding on the Paratool,but I can see how it could happen.The PPPs are,in my experiance directly comparable to a PST,just with the benefit on compound leverage.As to the quality of the individual tools,again I'd say they're on a par with a PST.If you can get a PPP,or better still a Paladin,at a good price,they're well worth a punt.
Received the SOG Powerlock S60.It's basically what the other posts said, more or less (surprise surprise! haha)Pliers are excellent (even thus I expected them to be good, I was surprised), cutters actually get damaged quickly (i just cut a tiny copper wire 3 times and theres 3 small dents....). The gear system does really help.Tools work fine. Even the clumsy scissors.The saw is pretty good also. But access to tools is really bad, that's the real problem - it makes the tools "useless" because it's bad enough that you don't really want to get them out Since I didn't see what I wanted in the various YT sog vids, I made one. No talking, just gear and some close ups. Maybe someone will find it useful.
