SOG Assisted Technology Increases Speed, Safety, and Usability
When you go to unfold the S66-N's straight-edge blade or full-serrated blade, SOG's proprietary S.A.T. (SOG Assisted Technology) takes over. High-tension coil springs propel the blades open, easily accessible with just one hand.

S.A.T. multi-tools offer security and peace of mind with their locking mechanisms that are stronger, more reliable, and easier to access than other multi-tools'. When not in use, the blades lock closed using a patent-pending side release, which also double locks the blades in the open position.

Heavy-Duty Components Meet Professional Needs
With over a dozen components, from pliers to a wire cutter, and industrial-grade, quality design, the S66-N includes everything a professional contractor or casual do-it-yourselfer needs, including a V-Cutter that can be used to cut seatbelts, paracord, fishing line, electrical cable sheathing, and more.

Ergonomic, Durable Design Ensures Years of Effortless Use
SOG makes the only multi-tools in the world that have one-handed opening and gear-driven Compound Leverage. Flip open the S66-N and experience easy, single-handed use of heavy-duty pliers and wire cutters -- the compound leverage technology allows your hand pressure to generate twice the cutting and gripping power of other multi-tools.

The S66-N's satin-finished handles provide comfort on even the toughest jobs. And with durable construction that features gear covers and hex bolts, the S66-N is surprisingly light, weighing just 9.3 ounces. Manageable enough to take anywhere, this multi-tool comes with a nylon pouch with belt loop for convenient portability.

This S66-N is backed by a lifetime warranty that protects against defects in manufacturing and materials.

From the Manufacturer

The new PowerAssist takes multi-tools to a new level. This is the first in the world to house not just one but two SOG Assisted Technology blades (One straight edge and one full serrated edge). Start to open the main blades, which are available when the main tool is closed, and S.A.T. takes over to complete opening and lock into the open position. When not in use, these blades lock closed using our patent pending side release. Flip open the tool with one hand and experience the precision of the heavy-duty plier capability and large wire cutters. Smooth handle surfaces promote comfort on even the toughest jobs. While open, five other components (V-Cutter, file, bottle opener/small screwdriver, can opener/medium screwdriver, and Phillips screwdriver) are now available and individually lock open. You're going to love playing these keys! Also includes Compound Leverage™, gear covers, hex bolt construction, V-Cutter, and built-in crimpers.

Overall great quality put together piece. I love the compound leverage that is designed into the pliers and the high polish finish on the entire tool. What I don't like is the grip panel cover that covers the rest of the tools is difficult to open. I'm not sure if this is just my tool or not but a lot of the time as I try to open the cover, the entire thing pops off instead of pivoting where it is supposed to. I'm trying to bend the lips on the cover to find that sweet spot so it will still stay in place but not be so hard to pop open. Not a big deal but still a little annoying when you're trying to get inside it.

The only other gripe I have with it is that the straight blade has too much vertical and side to side play than I'm happy with. I'm not sure if this is something that can be adjusted but the serrated blade locks rock solid both vertical and side to side so I'm sure this varies with each specific tool. It is great to be able to get a blade out one handed and not have to search through the rest of the tools to do it. The assisted opening on both blades works well and there is a lock for each blade to keep it from opening when you don't want it to and it also acts as a closing lock if the release gets hit somehow.

Another plus for it is that you can buy and install yourself individual fold out parts for it to really customize the tool for what you'll be using it for.

Overall I think its a great tool it just looses some points for the blade play in the straight edge blade and for me having to play with the grip cover to get it to open with out it popping off.

I was really excited to open up the SOG box and pull this little gem out, snug in its' web case. It comes with a fairly sharp primary blade, and the smoothness of the opening and closing of the pliers is beyond comparison. I gave it only three stars because: #1. the spring assist on the primary blade is just a tad weaker than the spring assist on the serrated blade. Slight, but noticable. I am sure SOG would correct it, if I cared to part with it while it was in for repair. Minus one star. #2. No saw. I mean, really! What were they thinking? But a SOG tool can be fully customized with the tools you wish. But once again, I can't part with it that long. Minus another star. But seriously, I carry a 6-in-1 scewdriver and most of the rest of those tools in my EDC. It is the JAWS that I wanted. So precise and acute. And even Leatherman can't touch the power, smoothness or friendly operation of the SOG Power Assist pliers. I would have otherwise gotten the Charge TTI. But you can't beat SOG on pliers, with more than twice the squeezing strength of ALL of the others. It can cut a nickel in half. I am very happy with this purchase.

Straight out of the box and loved it. Alot bigger and heavier then I had expected but that does not distract from how great the SOG Power Assist is. Would have given it 5 stars but the fact that the V Cutter gets stuck on the can opener or vice versa really erks me. Other then that, everything else is so fluid and works great. A very reassuring tool to have on your belt.
