Nice presentation. My favorite channel. I wonder have you thought about testing the pull-grip performance of the pliers aid by a strain digital scale? Scale has max hold function. - replace the hook with a mild steel rod (6mm?) and let the plier to pull until it slip off the rod, do three trials to an average. What do you think?
Each of these tools have some pluses and minuses;the power of pressing of sog's pliers is greater,basic complectation is wider, surge have an excellent scissors, removable saws and files,may be
...may be added by adapters for hex-bits or additional leatherman bits, some saws for wood & metal, clips, rings and so on...As for me, surge is ideal tool for hard use as single tool, assist features in sog, I think, is not very nessesary in multitool, to make a greater length of blades is more useful...Both tools are great, but surge is king, best in "price/quality" category.., I think. P.S.:sorry for my English...
