SOG POWERPINT MINI Review

[@insanogeddon]

Superglue a magnet on one of the sides will "lock" it closed. Gripper between the handles under the plier head.

[@allemander]

I super-glued a tiny, round magnet between the closed handles, on one side only, near the ends, to prevent accidental opening of the tool, which I’ve found to be a simple and excellent modification.

[@JebBrilliant]

@@allemander I think I should try that. Doesn’t it open the device a little bit though?

[@allemander]

@@JebBrilliant Maybe a millimeter or two, depending on the dimensions of the magnet you use. Just find the thinnest magnet you can - or I can send you one, I have plenty. You’ll just have to find a way to provide a shipping address.

[@JebBrilliant]

@@allemander I’m ok, thanks. I only ever have a problem with it when I don’t slide it to the back of the coin pocket on my jeans.

[@JebBrilliant]

@@allemander Thank you for the offer.

[@hdbodie2395]

Enjoy mine as well. Like being able to open another tool to close the currently opened tool versus using the unlock on the handles themselves. I carry an old pepto bismuth travel container filled with with bits and two drill bits for use with it. Bonus is pink pepto container fits on my streamlight as a red light diffuser too.

I love mine also, but I did have to put a magnet for I can keep it closed. Works very well.

[@JebBrilliant]

@@sonnyzickefoose727 That’s a good idea. I keep mine in the little change pocket on my jeans so it usually stays closed.

[@JebBrilliant]

@@sonnyzickefoose727 where and how did you attach the magnet?

[@sonnyzickefoose727]

@@JebBrilliant A really good super glue. At the end of the pliers, needless to say

[@JerryShaver-vb7nd]

Nice score by your kids! Nice vid too!

[@ryangriffith1500]

I really like my powerlitre it has a lock to keep it closed. When you use the bit holder you can use the lock so you don't have to squeeze as hard.

[@JebBrilliant]

I'll have to check out the PowerLite. Is it around the same size as the PowerPint?

[@ryangriffith1500]

@@JebBrilliant pretty damn close! Maybe an ounce or so more

[@goodinsrt8]

What's the difference between the powerpint mini and the regular powerpint?

[@JebBrilliant]

@@goodinsrt8 I actually didn’t know, there is no PowerPint, only a PowerPint Mini.

[@sidneycavalcant]

A cor preta descasca ?

[@JebBrilliant]

No. My 2 year old Power Pint is not painted. It’s more like stained. The black wears off but does not peel off.

[@emochickluvzblk]

I like mine but theres flaws. I wish they would make a powerpint 2.0 with better steel, revised scissors, diamond file, prybar/flat head, better sharpening of the tools. I would gladly pay more for this

[@JebBrilliant]

@@emochickluvzblk I 100% agree. I would like to see the super sharp non blade (all?) removed and the bottle opener combined with the can opener.

[@JebBrilliant]

I really do carry it and use it all the time.

[@patrickgambsky6290]

that's an awesome tool

[@JebBrilliant]

It’s the best!
