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

I don't write many reviews, but i've been so impressed with the PowerPint that I had to leave one for this. I've used it for several months now and can't say enough good things about it. I have other larger multi-tools like the Leatherman Surge, but I use this 99% of the time now. It's small enough to put it in your pocket, and you don't even notice it's there. The best feature is that it's convenient to carry, so it's always around when I need it. I've used it to work on mowers, boats, kid's toys, golf carts, the list is endless. The flat head it comes with is pretty small, but i've found it works great as a pry bar for working on smaller electronics (like replacing batteries in a key fob). I've used the file quite a bit for things like cleaning up terminal connections, touching up fishing hooks, etc. At some point or another i've used everything on it, and so far, nothing has failed. It's saved me quite a bit of time over the last few months by not having to go hunt for a specific tool to get something fixed. Overall, this is one of the most used tools I own, simply because I always have it on me.

Really nice pocket pliers with about half of it pretty well thought out.Overall nice:✔️ Clip is great✔️ Overall form factor is great.Good for heavy duty:💯 Pliers punch way above their weight. Easily best in class.✅ File is one of the best I've seen✅ 1/4 inch bit holder is great. You can imagine interesting uses for this.✅ Awl is very good. Actually useful as a punching tool.Light/emergency use only:⛔ Scissors are so bad it was nearly a deal breaker.⛔ Knives are stamped out.Borderline false advertising:❌ Hard wire cutting - you shouldn't have expected this to begin with.❌ Philips and flathead screwdrivers are bad. Don't expect them to work/fit when you need them to.❌ Can opener seems legitimately dangerous to use.❌ Protractor? 😂The victorinox rambler covers everything this doesn't (scissors, tweezers, good philips head, good flat head) and I feel like the pliers, file, awl, and bit holder make this worth it. And honestly, the pliers are good enough that I might use them to remove splinters over tweezers anyway.

This tool is a lot better than I expected it to be. The plier jaws use SOG's compound leverage mechanism, which means they don't open quite as wide as pliers of comparable size, but they easily grip at least 2x tighter, maybe more. It has the standard array of tools, all of which are accessible when the tool is in the closed position, which for me is a big plus. The knife blades are decent, a bit on the small side, but not as nice as what you'd get in a Victorinox SAK (Maybe this is an unfair comparison, but I love Victorinox SAKs). The scissors are nicer than I was expecting. They can cut paper, stray shirt threads, even trim fingernails. This is generally how I view all of the tools in this multitool. They're all decent and functional, but not top-tier. None of them are garbage, but none of them are amazing. they're all just "pretty good", with one significant exception...My absolute favorite feature is the fact that, when the tool is in the closed position, you can grip a standard 1/4" screwdriver bit in the hinge mechanism. If you are unfamiliar, this is the type of bit used in standard/common exchangeable bit screw drivers (not the double ended type). This bit-grip mechanism works VERY well. I've been working in I.T. for 25 years. This little guy has been my backup screwdriver since the day I bought it.The knife blades (one straight edge, one serrated edge) are not bad. They can open Amazon boxes, envelopes, etc. I'd 100% call them "light duty" blades. This is a very compact tool, especially considering it's a pliers-based tool. It's more or less about as large as a standard swiss army knife (maybe very slightly wider), but it has a pocket clip, so it can live securely in the fifth pocket/zippo pocket of your pants. This little tool is quite easy to use and while it could be less expensive, I don't feel that it is overly expensive. If you already have a swiss army knife (or other small multitool) that you like to use, you do not need this tool. However, if you do not yet have a small multitool (Victorinox/Leatherman/etc.) this is one you should absolutely consider.

Best edc multi tool! Has handled every job I've had to use it for on the farm, it's lightweight extremely compact & I can operate it with one hand! It's performed better than some larger multi tools that were a lot more money. This little tool is an excellent value & easy to use! I'm probably going to get another to put away in case I do eventually wear this little gem out!

While I like it for all the tools it has it is not my go to or even close. Its not a well built as a leatherman and it is not and well finished like a Leatherman. It’s just not the same. This would be good sitting in a tackle box. Not in your pocket for daily use.

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.
