Been the best EDC multi for something like a decade bout time it caught on. Scissor spring will break but scissors continue to work (and then easy to sharpen) and a drop of glue and a magnet or a scrunchie to keep tool closed in pocket and file a can opener to have a flat screwdriver. Can reverse grip so pliers between handles to grip bigger pipes/nuts than any bigger multi-plier. Easy to remove blades if going to a country where that is a problem or file the back of blade once removed so it can't lock. Pliers a size worth carrying unlike the play pliers/big tweezers on a dime or even the surprisingly weak skeletool. Bomb proof for decades and even the fit/finish "problems" are useable as extra scrapers or jimping.
I'm thinking of getting this multitool for my daily bag, looks great and most of the tools are pretty useful for me. By the way, I've been using the "gut hook" on my leatherman as a package opener, or any clamshell packaging, works pretty great
Good review. This is a great multi-tool overall. The pliers are amazing for such a small tool. The only real downside is that the scissors are really rather poor. Other than that very good.
I know this is an old comment. The scissors are a left-handed tool. There is a video I saw that explained how pushing on the scissors with the right hand will drive the scissors blades apart due to a natural reaction of the thumb to want to go to the tip of the finger on the other side of the scissors. Push the thumb towards the knuckle as you push it down or simply use the left hand.
The "gut hook" thing is a package opener. powerlitre is also great. Both tools need a wood saw, so I have to figure that out with t-shank jigsaw blades in the bit driver.
@@inkiron3907 *if u ever use the knife or any part of this cheap ass tool for anything going in ur mouth ur putting ur life in serious danger. If u have clearly researched the REAL MEANING BEHIND ALL SOG PRODUCTS AND THERE CANCER WARNINGS.* *U WOULD NEVER BUY ANY SOG PRODUCTS AS LONG AS U DAM LIVE.*
Just bought the black version at scheels in a combo pack with their centi 2 knife for $25 on sale. Hell of a deal. The centi knife kinda sucks but the multi tool is cool
Thanks for a great review. Do you know of any other similarly sized multitools? I have a Leatherman Wingman for work but am looking for something for EDC that's not too small (i.e., not like the Squirt or Micra)
The Leatherman Juice is probably the closest in size but I don’t think it’s available anymore. There’s not a lot of options in this size range that I know of
@@inkiron3907 I got a Leatherman Juice during the last run and gave it to my bro-in-law for Christmas. It's nice as a gift but not something I'd like for myself. It was heavy and the fit and finish was quite poor, especially for a Leatherman.
Try the scissors the other way around. If you look at a real pair of right handed scissors, the top cutting blade should be on the right and bottom blade left. I realize this shouldn't matter, but for some reason it does. Unless you're holding them in your left hand, then push the handle down with your thumb.
power liter lets you lock the handles together in screwdriver mode, but I'm not sure that's worth losing the tools to the corkscrew if you don't use it. Though, you might be able to 3d print something that fits the corkscrew, like the victorinox mini-screwdriver
Sog powerletre has a way to lock thw handle together so the but holder won’t loose the bit Same size and with that added feature it makes it so much better
If you’re going to try and do a review at least cover everything like the innovative and very effective catch for holding bits tight which would have wiped out your mediocre response to the bit holder! Then what you called the ‘gut hook’ is indeed a parcel opener. And a seat belt cutter. The slot in the file is to assist opening. You’re really not doing a thorough job. 2/10 - must try harder. Were Leatherman bit kits 2 dimensional like you said they wouldn’t work at all. This is really not good enough.
Why the review? The tool has been around for a long time and there are a million review done on it! Stop beating a dead horse! Please look for ways of adding real value! Good grief!
"Please look for ways of adding real value!" how about you quit winging an whining and add look for ways to add value to your comment instead of talking out of your ass?
