SOG Poweraccess Deluxe Multi-tool First Impressions (This is tool #2 because the first failed!)

[@Pain-u9l]

Hello . nobody told you that there was also a hexagonal bit support at the clamp.? a folded faith.?

[@inkiron3907]

I forgot to mention it… and it’s one of my favorite features 😑

[@ms.annthrope415]

Got this one this morning. I had their Paratool for 30 years and it was MEH at best. I also have the Leatherman Surge and it made the Paratool feel like a toy. The fit and finish on the SOG PowerAccess Deluxe is ok. You can see the casting marks and thr file has rough and crude maching to make the file. The pliers are ok. I like the replaceable wite cutting blades on the Surge better. The locking mechanism is much better on the Surge. The screwdriver blades are duplicated by the bit kit. sog Coukd have deleted the redundant screwdriver tools and replaced them with a pair of scissors. Or a bit kit driver extension. Or something not duplicated. The knives are much smaller than on the Surge. It can stay in my trucks glove box with my old Paratool. I'll keep the Surge in the house.

[@ShengTheCraftsman]

can this do a balisong flip open and flip close?

[@inkiron3907]

Once broken in it is possible to do a balisong-like opening

[@mikematij2]

There's nothing wrong with tools coming with oil on them

[@idrissamorehouse5776]

I got the Gerber as my first multi about a month ago - been using it alot -the down side i noticed first is the knife is usable but small -def has me wanting to step up to the LMan FREE OR A SOG ?? THANKS for exposing me to ROXON -didnt know about that one :)

[@inkiron3907]

Between the SOG and Leatherman Free I would say the Free. Good sized knife and better quality than the SOG… it’s more expensive, but is worth it

[@cjlane4465]

Between the sog and the free, you should get the surge.

[@DHEAD_EYE]

the wave plus is superior

[@rogerstruthers3799]

I thought the 'Deluxe" Poweraccess had scissors and saw ? Is this video mis-labled? This looks like the "Poweraccess" not the Deluxe model.

[@wijayaj001]

Esthetically speaking, it does look way more badass than a surge. Lol.

[@inkiron3907]

It definitely looks more related to the Leatherman Skeletool. It’s almost Sci-Fi 👽

[@Greendogo]

I wish Multi-tool systems started to offer standard lengths and interchangeable parts. I'd rather be buying the tool bits from companies like Milwaukee (like actual tool makers) than from the people making the handles and core parts. Can you do a video on interchangeable and interoperable multi-tool systems?

[@inkiron3907]

You’re preaching to the choir about modular multi-tool design! I hope the upcoming GOAT tool will be a success and force other companies to compete with their design. I could do comparative videos but I think diezelle has done a lot of good videos about that already 😅

[@adorkable81]

Why would they do that? This is their niche, and they have their own parts. Why would they make it so you can go out and buy parts from other brand?

[@Greendogo]

@@adorkable81 Someone will do it, and the first company that does it will have companies that make accessories and eventually replacement blades. Then replacement handles. Then you have multiple companies operating around the same set of standardized pieces. Customers profit.

[@adorkable81]

@@Greendogo can't simple compete with the big red, yellow and green company. They will squash or simply buy them out. Just like big bad tobacco companies have secret funds to hire lobbyist to keep their mutual interest.

[@phillipnunya6793]

@@adorkable81 At least they should sell the different tools. I just want to be able to pick what goes in to my tool.

[@Jaezxc69]

I'd pick Suspension NXT over that SOG.

[@phillipnunya6793]

I want either SOG to suddenly become better at making multitools or their geared plier patent to expire so I can get a good design AND good execution.

[@inkiron3907]

😂 right?? I’ll take a geared Victorinox or Leatherman

[@dualsportoutdoors]

The Powerlock is what you want

[@yaroslav257ify]

Thanks for a detailed and interesting review 👍👍👍.

[@dualsportoutdoors]

Where they messed up was making it in china. Had this been made in their Taiwan or USA factories using good materials, it would have been an absolute win. It has all the tools I would want in a multitool but I'd have to keep a backup handy at all times because I know the cheap 5cr15mov they claim it's made of (more likely 3cr because china always lies about materials used) will inevitably fail when I need the tool most

[@tooxtalivai0690]

Made in America is made in China. Rubbish comes out of the states you guys stopped making good decent shit ages ago.

SOG = Super Oily Gerbers

I’m gonna go cut my fingernails.

Or join me and the fingernail dark side

[@frankdaniels1763]

You should change the oil in that sog lol.

[@inkiron3907]

It took a lot of time to clean out 😅 but finally removed all the oil

[@BrentonCarr]

It's that crappy 5cr steel...

[@inkiron3907]

Mediocre steel and a saber grind 😑 they could have used a Full Flat Grind to much better effect with budget steel!

[@ollivgv]

@@inkiron3907 they have it in one tool and reviewers said it becomes too slippery

[@watchman1174]

Oh damn, you got your hands dirty? Well clearly it’s a piece of crap now….

[@inkiron3907]

The knife broke. That’s why it’s a piece of crap. The black smudging doesn’t help either. Try paying attention! Despite how it sounds, it’s free

[@oscarmatallanar]

I Can see you are not a very handyman, very poor hand tools skills. I couldn’t see an accurate description for the tool usage or comparing with other brands.

[@dabomb5505]

You sound like a difficult customer. Stop crying about the oil lol.

[@inkiron3907]

It’s my channel and I’ll cry if I want to

[@freddykruger3320]

Its a phillips 1 at most. A phillips 2 has a noticeable flat spot at the tip. Tested all three can openers out, they all work fine for opening cans, no way you got 3 duds. The flat head on the end of the can opener is actually a 2 dimensional phillips. You use the pliers to remove the bits from the bit holder, it is better than having the bits fall out and lose them- this is not a fit and finish issue. The sheath is incredible and matches the leatherman molle sheath that you have to purchase separately (for about the same money as the sheath, bit kit and tool combined from SOG). Your lack of industry knowledge is surpassed only by your lack of respect for your fellow man. Your attitude borders on disorderly conduct.

[@inkiron3907]

Well then you make a fucking video 🤡

[@hanzkammler6388]

you have the clip of it failing, you are editing this video, but I have to go search for the video you have of the knife fail. Pfffff talk about lazy.

[@inkiron3907]

The link is in the description. I run this whole channel off an iPhone so I don’t keep videos in my storage. It’s just how it is

[@hanzkammler6388]

@@inkiron3907 damn it man, now you make feel bad.

[@edwardfletcher7790]

The SOG is a really disappointing design fail ! Their top of the line has a utterly crap 🔪 knife, the awl hole is so big it's a structural flaw and it's got fit & finish that makes Gerber look like Victorinox ! They used to be fantastic 20yrs ago when they were made in the U.S., what a shame...

[@dualsportoutdoors]

Amen. The Powerlock is amazing
