SOG PowerDuo Multi-Tool

Review of the PowerDuo Multi-Tool from SOG.

Features are nice, what is the build quality like? Have you turned a screw with it? Did it twist? Have you had to crank down on the pliers? It looks to have an open handle, did it bite into your palm?

Open the pliers handle a little when closing any of the driver tools. The jaws of the pliers when closed, block the tool lock release just enough to make it a pain in the backside. Still a stiff release but much easier than holding the handle closed all the way.

Nice job on the video all around.

Everyone of these I've seen has cracks in the clear plastic. Mine stays in the collection and never gets used.

Not recommended for heavy duty camping or survival situations. Excellent for the average urbanite. Lightweight EDC, decent build quality. As long as you remember that this is not and never will be "the right tool" it should however, get you by till you reach a reputable tool box.

I had a powerlock(which I lost), I have a powerassist, and a powerduo (which I wouldn't have bought but it was apart of a bundle ). The powerlock and powerassist are top quality mts. The duo is not on their level. I've seen these sell anywhere from 40.00 to 70.00. At that price just go with either of the other two. I dislike it so much that I just have it to my wife to use around the house. I have a leatherman charge tti and its great, but the sog plier design definitely has the upper hand.
