SOG Knives Pocket PowerPlier Multi-Tool

by SOG Knives

Product Description

The SOG Knives Pocket PowerPlier Multi-Tool has the capability of an entire toolbox in a lightweight and compact package. SOG designed the PowerPlier with interlocking gears instead of a pin hinge to give you extra leverage when you crank down on those rusty nuts and bolts. The gears let you flip open the PowerPlier and operate with one hand for those precariously placed jobs. A variety of tools including can and bottle openers, screwdrivers, a knife, and a file fold into the compact stainless steel casing, and a branded leather pouch keeps the Pocket PowerPlier at the ready.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very nice multitool, September 12, 2000

This review is from: SOG Specialty Knives & Tools S44-N Pocket PowerPlier (Tools & Home Improvement)

I got this tool as a gift in 1997 and used it daily until I last it six months ago. The geared jaws worked surprisingly well and really gives one a lot of leverage. After losing the SOG, I replaced it with a BuckTool. What a mistake! I really miss the SOG. Fairly quickly, I ruined the Bucktool's cutters when cutting the same things as I used to cut with the SOG. Also, the Bucktool's handles tend to twist out of the way when force is applied to the handles (due to a bad design in the folding mechanism). The SOG does lack locking blades, but I never found that to be a problem in practice. The SOG is a good tool and I would get another one.

5.0 out of 5 stars SOG S44, July 26, 2002

This review is from: SOG Specialty Knives & Tools S44-N Pocket PowerPlier (Tools & Home Improvement)

I have owned a number of different multitools. The SOG items I have purchased have been some of the best money I have ever spent on tools. Leatherman seems to recieve much of the press in this catagory. I have owned both Leatherman and SOG. The SOG tool is far superior. It has tighter tolerances and a better design. The compond leverage feature makes any other multitool seem like a toy.

5.0 out of 5 stars SOG multitools are GREAT - PPP has a place on your belt., September 19, 2008

(REAL NAME)   

I used to carry a well known name brand multi-tool myself until I found a couple superior options ( based on 30+ years as a fire fighter, police officer and bomb disposal technician ( EOD ). I have owned a number of multi tools over the years and abused them all ( that's why the good ones have a lifetime warranty ). The SOG Pocket PowerPlier (PPP) rates among the best I have used. Don't waste your money on anything else - " Leather Guy " can't come close to a SOG in performance, functionality and warranty - in my opinion!!! I do own other brand multitools and have a desk drawer full of them and they are used solely for opening envelopes and packages. When I need a multitool at work I want a `real' multitool that I can depend on to do the job at hand .

SOG's Pocket PowerPlier is the most recent addition that has been added to my arsenal of multitools that I carry on a regular basis. I find it adequate to do 95% of the jobs handled by it's big brother the SOG PowerLock. Lighter and more compact than the PowerLock the Pocket PowerPlier ( Model #S44 ) is very easy to carry and use. SOG's Pocket PowerPlier is packed with essential tools that include pliers/grippers, wire cutters, partially serrated blade, Phillips screwdriver, three-sided file, can opener with a small screwdriver, bottle opener with medium screwdriver, an awl, rulers, lanyard and heavy duty leather pouch. Again the PPP's advantage of hex bolt construction leaves all the other multitools running for cover as this essential design element gives you the greatest versatility to clean and change tool components ( additional tool components are directly available from SOG for a modest charge) not offered by other multitool manufacturers. With the interchangability you can replace the partially serrated blade with a 3" plain edge blade and I also removed the 3 sided file and replaced it with a serrated line cutter. I find carrying the PPP a benefit because of less weight hanging on my belt ( 5.5 ounces vs 9.6 ounces for the PowerLock) . Also noted is SOG's Deluxe Pocket PowerPlier ( Model S45) which adds a large screwdriver, 1/4 socket drive however it loses the awl as a tool and weighs in at 5.5 ounces - same as he S44 model. Backed by a Lifetime Guarantee and they are MADE IN THE USA.

ALL 3 multitools that I use on a regular basis have their place in my life, and depending on the assignment for the day the PPP is on my belt and the other two are close by in the truck.
