I've got an older model that I've carried for a couple of years. I won't go anywhere without it.

Fantastic EDC and best fidget toy ever! You can open the pliers like a butterfly knife, and the assisted open blades are satisfying to deploy. I superglued the "lock closed" feature so the blades always deploy when I push the thumb stud. The nose on these pliers is the best I've ever used. I'd rate this right up there with a Leatherman Wave, which was my favorite before I got this. The assisted gears give you a powerful grip, and the little flat head screwdrivers and can opener prove very useful at unfolding sheet metal. The main blade holds an edge and the v-cut works great at cutting jet-line and paracord.

I have had this tool for many years. Unfortunately, the blades have never wanted to stay closed unless the lock is on. This makes the power assist opening action pointless since you have to unlock the blades before using. If the lock is not engaged when the blades are closed the tips of the blades stick out which is quite dangerous. Other than that, the tools are good quality, but the spring assisted blades are a bit of a gimmick.

Wanted to give it some time before reviewing. The quick access to the blades are really nice. The pliers, which are the main reason for getting the SOG, are very usable (probably won’t go back to leatherman for this reason). The other tools are good, the Phillips is long and skinny enough to get down in the recessed holes of electric tool cases, wish it had a couple of regular slotted screw drivers, but that’s not necessary. The down sides, which are not deal breakers, are; the cover for the small tools came off, but I didn’t care for it anyway, the blade lock for the regular knife blade is a little stiff, the river for the sheath came out, but to be honest I might have snagged it on something because I work in a shop environment, I was able to put an aluminum pop rivet in and brad it down. Overall I really like the functionality of the tool. I use these everyday and this one is easily my favorite. Big enough to actually use and the tools I rely on are on it. Good knife with easy one hand access and great pliers that are easy to use.
