SOG Multitool - Powerlock Heavy Duty Multitool Pliers, Electrician Wire Cutter Multi Tool w/Ballistic Nylon Multitool Sheath with Clip (S62N-CP)

I bought this for my husband's birthday. He absolutely loves this. He loves the craftsmanship, the look, the durability, and the functionality of this product. He's definitely a happy camper!

I use this everyday. I work for a middle of the map city. I fix, fabricate and install just about everything you can imagine. This tool is second only to the one i sadly lost due to confiscation by a well known security agency, which was a lapse in judgement by me because im just used to carrying it all the time. Buy it. Carry it. Use it. Fidget with it. Awesome tool!

I used the other reviews for this product to make my decision to buy it, and I wasn't disappointed at all. Since there are so many other good reviews, I'll be brief. This tool is fantastically well made. The craftsmanship is impeccable. It is pretty heavy- so it isn't well suited for pocket-carry. The included sheath has a belt clip and is also very well made. I found that I don't use the tool quite as often as I had anticipated, simply because there are few things I do in my everyday life that can't be done with my pocket knife. When I have had to use it, the pliers performed perfectly. The power assist is really noticeable, and I have used them in place of real pliers for this feature. Considering that this is just a multi-tool and technically should be used only when other tools are not readily available- I have asked this too to go above and beyond what I would have expected from it. For example, I used this tool almost exclusively to repair my lawn mower. I was able to remove stuck bolts that required tremendous force. I was afraid I would break the tool- but it held up. I don't think even my regular pliers would have been able to withstand that task.Bottom line: This isn't a cheap, lightweight tool that you use for opening bottles and letters. This is the real deal, and if you can stand to carry it it will serve you well forever.

Tool looked like it was pre-used, and repackaged. Still, with a bit of cleaning and oil it looks and works great.Isn't nearly as noisy as a Leatherman and the needle-nose pliers are among the best you'll find anywhere, let alone on a multi-tool. Ditto the crimpers.One of the best aspects of this is actually the carrying case. Rugged, easy to clip on to any belt, and it looks sharp. Could throw any other EDC tool in it in a pinch and it'd be fine.Good buy, I'm satisfied.

I try to keep my EDC situation as minimal as possible, but as effective as I can. The PowerLock EOD 100% fits the bill for me. All the tools I could need (screwdrivers, a sharp knife, saw, you name it). Where it really shines is in the fact that it locks in place with the tools you're using, and in the compound leverage.Compound Leverage means I never need to exert as much force when i'm using the pliers or crimpers. it's a life saver in some situations.The locking just makes things safer when you're working with sharp tools and want more predictability when you're using it. Then you get to the sleek, but durable look of it, and you've got an ideal multi-tool that's well worth the buck.I live by this thing, and feel naked if I'm ever without it.

Had this tool and used it fairly constantly for four winter seasons while working as a ski patroller. I used this thing to bend metal wire around, putting screws into our bamboo poles, cutting rope. This thing held up like a champ through it all, and the pliers were awesome and able to cut through the metal wire we had and zip ties with ease. The only things I would ding this on is that the metal covers detach and can be easy to lose, and that when using the tool with force, you'll probably want to wear gloves or else it'll dig into your palms. However, this is small consideration given the beating I put it through and would have continued to had I not lost it between seasons.I got a Leatherman Wave Plus the next season as everyone was recommending it and the pliers sheared apart only a few months into the season. Going back to SOG with a tool that I know was reliable.

This is a great multitool. Folks that complain about size or bulk are picking at strings, it's not any noticeable difference from it's competition. I have one real issue, the metal safety flaps are easy to accidentally unclip. That makes for some fumbling around, because I don't want to lose that thing, and it clips right back on, but it's a little frustrating. The finish could be a little tougher too, but that's nitpicking a great tool otherwise.Considering the quality of the tool, the options, the truly excellent compound squish factor, and reasonable cost I can't see opting for another model unless it was something really special.

Initially I was extremely happy with this tool due to its versatility and functionality. That said after two months of use one of jaws broke off the pliers whilst attempting to cut rubber brake line. Whereas I did not FPI prior to use I would have to conclude there was a crack in it from the manufacturer. To worsen the experience I reached out for a warranty claim on 6/21/24(todays date is 7/4/24)and have yet to receive more than the automated response despite multiple email’s awaiting to see if Amazon is even an approved distributor of these products. Just buy the Harbor Freight multi-tool. At least they back their own warranty.
