I was, about 1 hour ago, gifted a SOG Powerplay, with my name
laser engraved on it. Initially, I am impressed with it. I like the compound leverage gears. Hex
bit kit included. The bits are held by the
base of the pliers when the tool is closed. Magnets on each side magnetize the
bit while in place. One side has the serrated blade, straight blade, small
flat screwdriver/can opener, Phillips screwdriver, and medium
flat screwdriver/
bottle opener accessible with the tool closed. the other side has the 3-sided file, large
flat screwdriver, jewelry screwdriver, awl, and wood saw accessible with the tool open. All lock open. Needle nose pliers with gripper,
wire cutter, and
wire crimper. One-hand open. Carrying case holds hex
bit kit on the side. Belt loop snaps on the bottom for easy putting on and taking off. Feels comfortable in my
hand while just playing with it. Look forward to using it.
I still have, and occasionally use, my Gerber with the interchangeable pliers.
My daily carry is a CRKT M16-13LE, which has a sizable chunk missing from the blade about 1-1/4" back from the tip from hitting live
romex while working in my attic. I'm sad that they are discontinued. I would get a new one with a tanto tip, but am turned off by the fixed clip. I like that mine can have the clip in any of the four positions. I have it so the tip is up so that I can pull it out of my pocket with my finger on the opening nub and have it open pretty much as soon as it is out. No messing around with turning the knife to the right orientation to open.
