Any help will be appreciated.

That looks like a model B61 sir. (black oxide finish, with cap crimper)

J-sews, thank you for your reply!
I just made an impulsive purchase on ebay and this will be my first SOG multi. Please excuse me for all these questions without the actual product in hand.. But do you think the short square thing is 1/4″ Socket Adapter? And also, is the saw supposed to have a cut out?

I have a couple of sog pliers. I think the arrow pointer is a flat head screwdriver. The saw should not have a cutout. I'm not sure whats going on with the saw in that pic. Maybe it's a piece of tape or could be just the way the photo is showing something strange? Unless it is tucked inside and not showing it doesn't look like there is a 1/4 socket adapter on that tool. If you got it on ebay I would think the seller would be disclosing any problems with any of the tools etc? Anyhow I think you will like the Sog the plier head is the best cutter in the business.

I think we have the same model, just out of curiosity how much did you shell out for the tool?

There doesn't appears to be a 1/4" drive on yours visible, but the thickness doesn't add up so there are probably a few more tools in handle.

The square thing is a flat head driver, and it's not a cutout on the saw, it's the can opener overlaid on top.

I am amazed how people here are very knowledgeable and helpful. Thank you guys!
It is great find the can opener was placed on top of the saw. My eyes were tricked into seeing as one.. Also, thanks for the encouragement, I now like to think there are some tools hidden as you mentioned. I will report back once I received it.

The seller says the condition is used and "Fine" and has 99.9% with 6000 transactions over 10+ years on ebay.
I hope I get all the following for $53.68 shipped which I thought was a killer deal! Thus, I had to jump on it.

1XSOG POWERLOCK BLACK FINISH W/SHEATH
1XSOG MINI POCKET POWER PLIERS W/ SHEATH
2X SOG CROSSCUT MINI TOOL
1X SOG 3" FOLDING KNIFE

That is an amazing deal!

Sean · **Reply #8 on:** March 15, 2009, 09:03:46 PM

wow! maybe I need to see the eye doc as well.

Now I see the bottle opener! Can't believe I didn't pick it up before. Good going.

amazing deal

MultiMat · **Reply #12 on:** March 16, 2009, 12:22:51 PM

Funny I read $53.68 & thought that aint that great a deal for the B61 & then I read you got another $ SOG's , WOW instant SOG collection .
Nice pick up.

jojobos · **Reply #13 on:** March 18, 2009, 11:26:21 PM

I got the powerlock!!

As jzmtl mentioned, the square thingy was a flat head driver and I have a empty slot on the side with 4 tools.
Powerlock appears to be very well made and has a nice feel to it. I am obviously late to the party but a torque from this plier is simply amazing!!
Now, I am already looking to buy B66 powerassist..

jzmtl · **Reply #14 on:** March 19, 2009, 12:17:42 AM

Looks like you got owned by infamous spacer. Good news is the 1/4" drive would be direct drop in, and I believe if you buy them from SOG website it's free shipping.

STik · **Reply #15 on:** March 19, 2009, 02:14:25 AM

Correct jzmtl. SOG is great to deal with for parts. Just don't buy the tools direct from them.

Talk about mark-up. Jojobo, the socket adapter is great, however, I did have an issue where my first purchased one dropped its retention spring literally two hours after I installed it on my 2.0 EOD. Be careful. They did replace it and gave me a few extra goodies after I made a stink though...

jojobos · **Reply #16 on:** March 19, 2009, 01:07:37 PM

Free shipping is always nice. Thanks for the tip. :

A bit of OT but I liked the quality of SOG very much I just ordered powerassist too!! with free shipping. How do I stop..

Ha! That helps!

To go back to the topic, I just got an email from SOG stating the model I have is called "GSA model Powerlock".
They were made for the military and sold to the public as well.

From 2 emails I received from SOG. By the way, their cs is superb!!
You have a GSA model Powerlock. The main difference is the serrated
blade replaces the scissors.

I believe you have what we call the GSA Power lock. They were made
specifically for the military and we sold them to the public as well.

I think we have the same model BO PowerLock, for military huh, interesting. Mine do not have a Patent number, does yours too?

jojobos · **Reply #20 on:** March 19, 2009, 10:48:56 PM

Wow I don't see it on yours...I am sure it is just a mistake or "Monday built"

Mine shows a patent number, 5809599.

Don't mind at all

I also have a silver SOG powerlock and it has a patent number.
Maybe my GSA model are for black ops just like black ops people don't have dog tags their tools don't have patent numbers

Got it from a surplus shop near a former US base.
Anyways I have decided to stick to collecting LM and SAK for the time being, its up for trade for a Skeletool Cx if anybody is interested.

I have had about 4-5 of this model Powerlock. And most if not all of them had the wire stripper notch on the bottle opener/flathead. I have not seen the wire stripper on other model powerlocks.
