I know this review is quite old now, but hopefully this comment will help prospective buyers. I'm happy to report that it appears they fixed the file. I just picked up a new Powerpint yesterday, and the file is MUCH more aggressive than it was. I'd even go as far to say that the file aggressiveness is close to the file on the Rebar, and the file pattern now goes all they way to the tip instead of stopping short. The dedicated bottle and can open are still, unfortunately, unchanged, so if you plan to pick one up it's still worth it to file the openers down and make them into drivers as well. However, with the improved file this multitool is a lot more compelling.

Was just looking how to look up how the locking works. Rather watch a video than start looking. Getting lazy I think. But came to the file part while mine was open. Yup, very very good file in my book, better than a lot of other multitools I have. Tempting to buy a second one just to throw in the other bag. Cheap if you know where to look.

Love it! Great review of the SOG PowerPint. I gave my wife the Gerber Dime for her pocket/keychain and she never leaves home without it. If anyone is debating on what tools to start with? Start small, this SOG PowerPint or Gerber Dime is perfect for beginners. Once you get into EDC you’re going to be surprised by how useful these little tools can be. My wife was thanking me every day for a week because she realized that anytime something needed cut, or tightened etc. she had a tool to do it right in her pocket.

Thank you, the pints on the top of my list to get to carry to carry on me all the time and an extra tool for working in Rope Access, just wondering if you know of anything of similar size to the Pint or Dime that looks more like, uh more old worldly, fancier like some of the Swiss multi tools?

I love this tool for etc. I filed down the end of the file to make add a large flathead screwdriver / scrapper tool. I also cut and filed down the bottle opener tip to add a medium flathead. Finally, I slimmed down the shank of the philliips screwdriver so that it can reach more recessed screws. This modified tool, along with my Victorinox compact makes for a very slim and each to carry edc combo that is very usable.

I got this tool when it first came out and when I did my review I was just room temp on it as a whole. Then I started using it and I find it to be so useful. It has almost replaced my larger tools. For sure it is the one I carry when I am not at work. It's so light and when you reverse the grip the pliers can take on way bigger jobs. Sure the file and the scissors are not that great but they do work in a pinch. The fine point on the pliers is just awesome for so many things. I use it to unseat old stiff cat5 connections from the back of servers. Perfect tool for that. I will admit I also like the PowerAssist and the Powerlock. I carry those over Leatherman tools myself. So maybe I am biased who knows. My current EDC is the new Ozark Trail Muti and it has been surprising the hell out of me. When it comes to the most important tool in a multitool the pliers. SOG IMO just has it going on. I am also a big fan of the SOG V-Cut. That thing is just awesome for cutting tight zip ties. My co workers will struggle like 10 min trying to cut these industrial zip ties that hold cabling together and I just walk up and zip! Done!

Great review as usual. I own a Powerpint, and I have to say it is a great concept, poorly executed. The pliers are great. The size is perfect, small enough to be pocket friendly but with plenty of tools. The quality leaves something to be desired. The tools had some play, so I tightened the screws to fix it. There is no Philips number 2, They should make the tip of the rope cutting tool into one. There is also no larger flat driver, The tip of the bottle opener should be one. I used the Dremel on mine to make it a pour man's 2D phillips / flat. I have a hard time closing the scissors. Some of the inner tools are so hard to get to. A decent steel for the blades would be nice. I wish that the serrations should go all the way to the tip of the blade, so that the first serration could be used as package opener. They should use a better fle, or get rid of it and the serrated blade to make the tool thinner. I would pay double the money for a Powerpint 2.0 with those problems solved. Or better yet a Victorinox or Leatherman in this class.

I agree. They should tweak the design as you stated. I've always felt that ALL multitool designers are missing an opportunity. They should look at making the can opener also an bottle opener and a clamshell package opener by sharpening the blade all the way down into circular portion just above where the hook grabs the edge of the can. (Sharpened the same way as a gut hook.) I suppose you could modify the can opener by sharpening it yourself. But, it would be nice to just have that one tool do at least three things. Thereby leaving room for more useful tools on the other spaces provided. I think packing along separate bit bit drivers kind of ruins the all in one convenience that a "multi tool" is supposed to provide.

I like its pliers, I like the overall design, but there are things I could not overlook. The tool is uncomfortable to use, just way too many hotspots all over. Most (if not all) the internal tools don't works as well as Leatherman or Victorinox's counterpart. SOG can opener never work in my hands, I call them "Can't Opener". Lack of flathead and #2 Philips drivers are serious shortcoming. The ability to use bit is a moot point, I have no intension to carry extra bits with a small size MT. It is disappointing. So close yet so far.

They should make the lanyard thing able to rotate over and hook the other side shut for using the driver. The scissor's action handle could easily be widened to overlap the spine side without interfering with anything. The file ought to have a tool in the tip, if that odd shape isn't meant to do something...Seems like several of the tools should be combined such as the bottle/can opener, and the blade could just have a serrated base. Then more and better tools could be included. If the handle can open to 180 degrees, why wouldn't the ruler be on the outside instead of being interrupted by the pliers? The locking mechanism requiring a full opening is a bit of a pain and ought to just have a release on the sides of the body that can be easily squeezed. Having multiple bits open at the same time is probably just a tolerance issue.

Leatherman bond is a slightly reduced version of the Rebar that comes pocket clip capable. it doesn't have locking tools, replacable cutters and looses the saw and serrated blade. it's also heavier than the SOG, but has better internal tools and can also take standard bits with the bit adapter kit... I have a rebar myself, and I was hoping it would be as easy to pocket carry as my old PST, but it is not. I carry the rebar and Bit adapter kit on my belt with a racheting 1/4 in driver and it's always bumping into stuff but very functional. I think the SOG PP would be a good option for days I don't want to belt carry, but still use bits. at $40+ right now though, I have lots of options I'm considering instead.

I just got one of these. First SOG I’ve ever bought. I don’t hate it, tbh. One of my standard gripes remains. Wish the scissors opened wider.

@Genesis9924 жыл бұрын
TX Tool Crib it really is. If they slapped a Leatherman Juice file on this, made the scissors open wider, and had a way to lock the handles together when closed to allow for better bit retention, this would probably be one of my favorite multitools in existence.

The only thing that was cool with this multi-tool is it didn't come with a holster or pouch. That's it, this is a great edc, mine is awesome.

@txtoolcrib4 жыл бұрын
bowieknife this tool is a strap cutter not the best that I have seen. Out of the package this is not designed to be a package opener, it doesn’t offer a piercing ability. That being said, it would be an excellent idea to grind this down to a finer point to use it for that very purpose.

I think you might like this one. It’s a bit larger than the PS4 you’re using, but I really think this a pretty good option. I love how compact it is. The pliers are really impressive for a multi tool of this size as well. Little bit lacking on the scissors and a bit on the file, but overall a really good tool set in my opinion.

I don't understand why you have to bring in a Leatherman every video and compare it to some Leatherman every video when your video by title is about one multi-tool. It doesn't say anything about comparison or this versus that or anything like that it just said the name of this multi-tool I expected to run down of this multi-tool and multitool only not some long ass drug out comparison to some Leatherman Multi-Tool that I have no interest in. I don't care how it compares to a Leatherman. Leatherman is not the final word when it comes to multitools. If you're going to have a comparison video state that the title so people can avoid all the useless information they're not trying to look for I was interested in the multi-tool that you had in the thumbnail wasn't looking for a comparison to Leatherman Tool at all. Sorry to be a dick but it's a little frustrating I went through several of your videos and you just keep doing it
