They also like the way the snips work, the locking mechanism is solid, and that the bits are sturdy and effective. Overall, customers are satisfied with the quality and durability of the tool.

70 customers mention53 positive17 negative

Customers like the sharpness of the outdoor recreation product. They say the blades are sharp, the pliers are strong, and the needle nose is fairly, but not too sharp. The wire cutters are great, and they say they can cut wire like butter. The v-cut is real handy, and it's great for cutting the ends off zip-ties. They've also chopped through chain-link fences with ease.

Customers are satisfied with the pliers. They mention that the compound leverage is real, the geared plier/cutters are super powerful, and the compound action of the plier is amazing.

111 customers mention59 positive52 negative

Customers are mixed about the ease of opening and closing. Some mention that it's very easy to open and close one at a time, and the blades got easier to open. However, others say that the drawback is that some of the blade is quite hard to open, and that the assisted opening function has never worked properly.

"...The biggest selling point for this tool for me was the ability to open the knife with one hand. Works perfectly for this...." Read more

"...I started to notice that the blade assisted opening wasn't working as well anymore. After seven years of serious service I wasn't surprised...." Read more

"...The Power Assist by comparison opens buttery smooth. You can flip it open one-handed. Imagine a Hummer doing Tai-Chi!..." Read more

Customers are mixed about the ease of use. Some mention that the product is durable, with easy access knives and versatile pliers. They say the action is smooth and easy to use.

65 customers mention22 positive43 negative

Customers are mixed about the lock of the outdoor recreation product. Some mention that the locking systems works well, and the blades lock crisply and securely. However, others say that the lock is overly complicated and makes getting the knife blade out and put back away difficult. Some customers also mention that their safety locks were loose and wouldn't lock into place.

"...If I could think of any con it would be the sliding locks for the 2 blades. They have a very short throw allowing them to accidentally engage...." Read more

"...The release and lock mechanism works great." Read more

"...There is a small slide lock that prevents the blades from coming open when you don't want them to which is more tricky than I thought it would be..." Read more

"...To make matters worse, the blade also would no longer lock while in the open position OR when it was closed...." Read more

55 customers mention37 positive18 negative

Customers are mixed about the value of the outdoor recreation product. Some mention it's a good value item with the price and delivery being the best, while others say it'll be a little expensive. Some say the black coating is not worth it and the belt holder is cheap.

"...you can also buy parts and swap internal tools out for dollars, stuff is low cost, I swapped the V-cutter out for scissors with zero issues...." Read more

"...It had the tools I was looking for, in the right price range, and a nice (or so I thought from the pic on Amazon) Black Oxide finish...." Read more

"...did they choose to mount the plastic clip into the sheath with a cheap metal rivet?..." Read more

"...The Surge was VERY heavy and took a lot just to open up the pliers. it was very stiff. Perhaps it needed a little breaking in...." Read more

"...When I received it I was happy with the weight and feel. It's packaging was plain and simple (a Plus in my book) and it operated surprisingly smooth...." Read more

"...I'll Finish by saying the PowerLock is a great multitool. It's heavy in a good way, has what needed and not what's wanted...." Read more

Nearly 10 years, still going strong
I bought this pocket tool almost 10 years ago and it’s still holding up amazingly.First how I have used this:I was a corporate trainer for a large restaurant company, and I would travel to open brand new restaurants (with lots of new equipment and problems). This was my every tool (including being used as a doorstop to hold open countless walk-in coolers). I’m also a sport angler, and I use this as my hip pliers (removing hooks regularly and leaving up the cord cutter for cutting fishing line, both mono and braided).In addition, I do work on small two-stroke engines, and many times have reached for this tool rather than my other sets of pliers. And finally, I recently constructed a Tiny Home from the floor up with my trusty SOG at my side. My particular tool has been used and abused!!Other than regular cleaning, tightening (which is made easy to do for the blades, player heads and all flip out accessories) and the occasional sharpening I’ve had to do nothing to maintain this tool.The knives both spring quickly out and keep tight for a good amount of time. The biggest selling point for this tool for me was the ability to open the knife with one hand. Works perfectly for this.I love the pliers because they very slightly taper down right at the end, leaving them strong but also petite enough to fit into a lot of hard places (was very helpful when doing small engine work). They are stronger than expected, and the wire cutters have just begun to dull and chip (you can see from the pictures the condition after 10 years)For fishing, I found that locking the cord cutter in the up position and putting it back in the holster kept it safely out of the way but easily accessible when changing lures often for that selective fish. The black oxide coating has held up very well, along with the genera construction of the tool (and I have for sure treated it roughly over the years).My only complaint is the safety lock for the spring loaded knives is loose and regularly slips to the “on” positions. Meaning when I remove it with one hand and flick open the knife I must pause, turn off the safety, and then flick open again. Annoying and time consuming, but still doable with one hand and only happens every so often.In conclusion, this is easily the best tool investment I’ve made in my life. I have used this tool in more applications, for more years, and with less maintenance or problems than any tool or spent money on. Get this tool if you don’t want 100 useless accessories but need an quick access blade and durable, versatile set of pliers. I find myself making a review because it’s finally time for another set (only because I am gifting my old pair to the GF, who has taken up fishing)PROS:DurableEasy access knivesStrong and versatile pliersGood accessories, no extra fluffCONS:Safety for knives

Finalmente posso fare, dopo un po’ di esperimenti, una recensione a questo bellissimo prodotto.

Il SOG PowerAssist si presenta abbastanza robusto e funzionale. Ovviamente non abbiamo fra le mani un lama fissa e questo dobbiamo sempre ricordarlo. Si tratta di un multiuso è da tale va adoperato.

Innanzi tutto partiamo dalla funzione principale: la pinza. L’apertura è estremamente morbida, anche grazie a sistema a ingranaggi SOG che permette tra l’altro di imprimere maggiore forza di leva nell’utilizzo.

Abbiamo poi, su un lato, due coltelli di cui uno a lama liscia e una lievemente seghettata. La particolarità di queste è l’apertura assistita. Basta fare pressione sul gancio d’apertura e la lama farà il resto.

Dall’altra parte sono presenti vari utensili quali:
• cacciavite a stella
• molteplici cacciaviti a taglio
• apriscatole (due tipi)
• Lima da ferro
• taglia cinture\corde: che taglia veramente di tutto.

Conclusioni: veramente un bell’attrezzo, utile e (a mio parere) indispensabile in molte situazioni.
Come detto all’inizio bisogna sempre ricordarsi che non abbiamo un coltello a lama fissa, oppure una pinza da meccanico, quindi non è a usarsi per prestazioni estreme.
