SOG Switch Plier 2.0

I have several sog multi tools n knives, the switch plier has its place in light duty repair or best place is for fishing in my opinion. The tools are the same as other sog tools and are interchangeable for the most part.the file is a bit different but it’s not like you can’t tune it to fit other tools. I like to swap tools I use more for others. The knife and some other tools can be deployed without opening the pliers!! Simply open the handles to deploy tools that aren’t under the pliers head when folded. The pliers on my tool are straight and mesh tightly, the spring operation is nice for precision use like fish hooks and small stuff. The only complaint is the pliers can not make the pressure that the other compound leverage type tools available can. The operation of this design is also sensitive to main screw tension for both smooth operation and the slippage passed the pins that operate the pliers. You must keep a balance of reliable opening and how much pressure you can get out of the pliers before it slips. Given my reason for light duty and best use for fishing.

I received this a couple weeks ago and absolutely love it. I work outside most of the time and it is the perfect tool for small jobs, very study. Very well worth the price. Would also make great gifts! Everyone that sees mine want to know where I got it. I have a Leatherman & Gerber, and I like this one the best!

Nice tool! Looks to be very well made, and the way it opens is awesome!

Excellent, well-built and the weight feels good. I wish they would display the country of origin.
