Great Mods. To my scissors I ground off (using a Dremel sanding disc) a little bit of the nub that captures the end of the spring, so I can rotate the handle out sideways. Then, using small needle nose pliers, I carefully bent the spring out more. Now I can open up the scissors a lot more. Also, the scissors are in a left-hand configuration so in order for them to work well you must apply sideways pressure in the opposite direction from a normal pair of scissors. Then they cut very well.

Great mod on the scissors. I'll have to look at mine, they could stand to open up wider!
@johntony69748 күн бұрын
yes! many people rag on these scissors not being good.. it's because you need to apply pressure to the opposite side, OR, use it in your left hand!

I have the same tool and I paired it up with a powerful mini flashlight that’s connected with the tool via a quick disconnect keychain. The flashlight had a flat sided body and I attached an adhesive cable holder that’s rubbery and can hold a double sided bit for the screw holder. Now I carry the pair in my pocket because I don’t wear a belt these days for a pouch
@LastChanceKnives8 ай бұрын
That sounds like a good solution since you don't wear a belt. I wouldn't know what to do without a belt. I carry a lot of stuff on it!

Mods and restorations are a lot of fun to do. It's funny but when I look at my edc items most of them have either been made or modified.

Good work! I use the tip of the can opener to make a micro Phillips driver. A 2 dimensional driver of course. I modeled it after the fingernail file on the Victorinox Alox Cadet because there was a couple times the fingernail file really came in handy for that. I also sharpened the outside of the gut hook and it works really well to pry small things apart like electronics. Makes a good scraper too.

I was thinking about copying the tip of a Victorinox can opener! Just haven't gotten around to it yet. These are great light duty multitools after the mods. It is good to see someone else modding them too! I never thought about doing anything with the gut hook, thanks for the idea!
@ayyydood6 ай бұрын
@@LastChanceKnives Oh yeah, the powerpint definitely needs work to be more useful. The only other mod I did, besides the ones in your video, was to give the Philips driver a straight shaft instead of that weird triangular shaft. Lots of screws are recessed in deep holes and the powerpints Phillips driver won't fit into a hole.
@LastChanceKnives6 ай бұрын
@ayyydood That is another good idea! I get so many ideas from comments. As an IT guy I run into recessed screws quite often.

Nice Modifications! Wish I was handier myself, so I could do the mods. Now, if it just had a bigger Philips on it, too.
@LastChanceKnives6 ай бұрын
A bigger Philips would be a nice addition. I would like to find a way to carry a small #2 bit on the tool itself since the tool works great as a handle for 1/4" bits.

I really wanted to like this tool, but apart from the pliers and bit driver I feel like it falls short. The outside tools all feel very cheap to me. Your mods elevate it though!
@LastChanceKnives7 ай бұрын
That's why I called it a light duty multitool. It is a tool that I carry when I don't expect to need one. For example, going to church. My tool of choice for edc is a modified Leatherman P2. I carry it in a belt sheath everyday. I always have at least one knife and a multitool on me. The Sog makes sure that I can have one no matter how I am dressed.

I do like this size multitool for when I don't expect to need anything larger. For example when going out to dinner or other events.

Great review. I've always liked the SOG range but wish they were made here. I'd love to do you mods but I don't have a belt sander. I'd have to do it the hard way with a rounded file.
@LastChanceKnives5 ай бұрын
The little belt sander that I used is from Harbor Freight. I had a coupon and bought it for $30 three or four years ago. It comes in handy for so many mods, well worth the purchase. You could do most of it with a file if you had to, just take your time and be accurate with each stroke.

I will not be modding and selling the SOG. There is too much up front cost and probably not much of a market. However I would be glad to modify one for you. My email is on my channels home page.

The SOG Powerpint is the best in class for its type. The next one up, Power Access, doesn’t seem to function as well.
@LastChanceKnives2 ай бұрын
I think the Powerpint is the best tool in Sog's lineup. Leathermans Juice S2 was my favorite small multitool until they stopped making it. The Sog fills that spot now.
