SOG Powerlock EOD 2.0.

I had forgotten I had this tool. A regular Powerlock with the addition of a C4 spike. Not as good as other EOD efforts by other companies, especially when viewed from the standpoint that no fuse cap crimper is included as a function of the pliers.





A closer look at the C4 spike.



Compound leverage pliers are a SOG specialty.



Yes, being an older version, it has piano hinge locking levers.

Summary:

Pro:
- SOG compound leverage pliers.
- Good quality throughout.

Cons:
- Piano hinge locking levers are a pain to use. They replaced these on the newer versions with a single larger lever.
- No Cap crimper functionality as seen on the Gerber and Leathermans.
- No 8/32 threading to mesh with cleaning kits.

[IT'S SUPER EFFECTIVE!]

Just had a look at my BO Powerlock EOD and was thinking, isn't that a cap crimper right under the plier head?

I believe it is and I think it's mentioned on their site and that all their larger tools have them, not only the EOD.

That is correct. Looks like I forgot about that when I posted this a year or so ago.
A little Leatherman information.

Beretta Shotgun Tool.

The Beretta shotgun tool is a bit unique in the design department in that its main function is that of a hammer. The sheath is rather well done with the Beretta design on the flap.



Opening the sheath, you can see that there is a side pouch with a rather professional and full sized pin punch. The Beretta Shot gun Tool doesn't pull any punches here.



Yes, that is a very nice pin punch, and with that hammer, I bet you can probably encourage any pin with the gentleness it requires.



You can tell it is from Beretta.



This multi-tool turns into a full sized hammer.



The Beretta Shotgun Tool offers 11 tools for the care and maintenance of your Beretta shotgun. Gunsmith-designed.

·Optima, mobil & victory enhanced choke tool
·Hammer head
·Sheep's foot blade
·2mm punch pin
·Nylon belt sheath
·28-.410 chocke wrench
·12-20 gauge choke wrench
·#2 phillips screwdriver
·Small Pliers
·Flat screwdriver
·Fine File



Summary:

Pro:
- Unique hammer based tool.
- Designed for the folks who like to fiddle with their tools.
- Well finished quality piece of kit.

Cons:
- No 8/32" threading for attachments.
- No locking tools.

What a thread!  :tu: Beautiful pics and write-ups. And so many companies and unique tools!  :cheers:

That hammer tool is amazing.  :o
