SOG PowerPint Mini Compact Stainless Steel Multi-Tool |18 Lightweight Specialty Tools & SOG Multitool Pliers Pocket Knife, Stone Wash

Bought 4 of these for Christmas gifts. They are wonderful. Easy to open unlike cheaper multitools. Pliers touch at the tip, scissors cut, knives are sharp, all tools are functional in a small package. Everyone really liked them, and have used them multiple times. It also has a nice belt clip and a keyring attachment so you can carry it a couple different ways not to mention just in your pocket. Overall I would purchase again.

Love this multi tool, solid built, functions easily will after a little loosening of the screws, very light, great pliers, pairs will with my edc.

SOG Multi tools seem to have some haters and many overlook them. I own examples of both SOG and the Leatherman. I am a fan of SOG's Power Access Assist and this Powerpint. The Powerpint is a midi tool. Leatherman seems to have abandoned mid size tools like the Juice and even the specialty mini tools like the great Squirt ES line with wire strippers. The Powerpint is the perfect size for the more urban, casual user, or one seeking a smaller tool. It is light and easily clippable, pocketable in the small jeans pocket, etc. The pliers can be deployed one handed. The small screwdrivers are perfect for electronics like a laptop. You will learn how to open and unlock the various features without having to open the tool. SOGs hex bit holders are very usable and frequently welcomed by this user over the Leatherman flat bit holders. A usable feature in a tool of this class and size. The pliers on the Powerpint are very decent relative to the size of the tool. The little coupon clipper blade is appreciated in the wharncliff shape The scissors are small but good for cutting fishing line. I happen to like the gut hook style line cutting tool on SOG multitools when I am cutting equal lengths of twine or string.I see the way the SOG tools present as almost like a Soviet Bloc era interpretation of a multitool. I say this In the most positive way. The metal is a little less polished, the external pliers gear mechanism has a very robust industrial look, and some parts can be pinchy if not careful. The stonewash finish has a spartan yet very competent look particularly on the bigger models. It feels like a mechanism that came from a MIG21 Cockpit or Typhoon sub to me.As time goes by, I find myself preferring the SOG pliers design with compound mechanism over the competition. It feels more rigid and controlled. There are no pivot points at the base of the plier jaws.Multi-tools are flat out fun to play with, but their value proposition is one of accessibility and convenience over absolute strength and durability. A small tool like this has small features. However I am impressed with the features included and frame construction relative to its size. I see this as a great addition to one’s desk or laptop bag,

Exactly the tool I was looking for. The size is perfect for EDC and it has everything I need. Ive only had it a few days and I have used it at least 5 times every day for different applications that I would previously had to get something else for. Ive had several leatherman on the past but this is by far my favorite.

Pretty awesome little tool! Worth every penny and definitely a must for edc. Figured out some very handy uses for the couple tools included. It’s lightweight and very easy to use and is a great gift for anyone.

I am a longtime Leatherman fan...I've carried one on my side for most of my adult life. At 54, I've worn out 2 Leatherman tools, and am on my 3rd. I find that while I like having a multi-tool with me, I decided I wanted a smaller tool I could carry in my pocket vs. in sheath on my belt.After doing a lot of research and watching various reviews, I settled on the the SOG PowerPint. It helped that I was able to get it on sale as well.It came well packaged and upon getting my hands on it, my first impression was how solid it felt in my hand. The quality of the build and feel is top notch. Opening the tool to use the plyers is smooth and there is zero play in the connections.While I wasn't sold on accessing the tools from the "outside" of the handles (I've always had the style that needs opened to get to the tools), I found I didn't have any issues. My concern was that the tools may not be contained tightly within the handles, but they take a little effort to open, which is good, because they won't work themselves open over time.As for size...it's really is a nice compromise between a full size tool and a true mini tool. Small enough to be comfortable in my pocket, but large enough to be actually useful.As a first time SOG buyer, I am impressed and pleased with the workmanship, finish, and robustness of the tool. I would definitely buy it again and recommend it. I may be getting a few more for Christmas gifts this year.

The positive: the blades on this are sharp and I enjoy the bit holder. The tools can be closed be simply opening another tool instead of hitting the release. It's small enough it won't weigh down your pockets. The Phillips screwdriver works great!The cons: the saw/ file isn't even aligned correctly. It rubs up against the bodyThere is no flat head screwdriver?! It would have been so easy to incorporate this but instead they rounded off what could have easily been a flat head. I know it can hold a bit but that doesn't mean I want to carry around one. The scissors are left handed

This is by far the best bang for your buck mini multi-tool that I've ever come across. The unique leveraged gears are incredible, and the built-in bit holder is one of the coolest things I've seen in a multi-tool in a long time. At first, I thought it was a bit of a gimmick, but I found myself using it multiple times and love not relying on the perfect size being built into the tool but just using my box of bits for whatever I need. I haven't used it for super heavy duty, so I'm not sure how it holds up there. The only gripe I would have is the pocket clip isn't very tight, so make sure that it's secure if you have it clipped in.
