SOG Switchplier Review - Nutnfancy

- Maybe the fast deploying pliers in the SOG Switchplier 2.0 are enough reason to buy this multi-tool. They pop out like a switchblade and this MT is fun to play with. Of course I'll discuss how some compromises are made to made this rapid deployment possible. The toolset overall is a bit limited and I compare it against the collectible Leatherman Blast MDMT which checks it at the same weight and size. For many though the important stuff is there in the SOG Switchplier 2.0 and it's excellent pliers are a highlight.

Always.
yup
Crusades 777 Lol.. Roger that.
Of course, I️ know I’m gonna like it already
Because of this comment and the fact nutnfancy pinned it, I downvoted.
Old video, discontinued tool. *BUT* I found one on eBay! Not too much of a mark-up I'd say, all things considered. Really wanted one. Found some dude overseas with one that is New-Old stock, still in the packaging from what his original photo shows. Collectors will despise me, but I'm going to EDC it. Don't care! I'm a multi-tool collector too. Personally, I like the sympathetic deployment. Just easier pulling up on the outer most tool, to more easily get to one on the inner tools that you want, which will pop up partially. I love that. Thanks for the vid. nutn.
I actually added scissors and plane edge in my SOG MTs in Exchange for the flathead.
Love SOG for that option!
My six year old boy loves the Nutnfancy multi-tool playlist.
I've owned a pair of these for over a year now and love them and carry them as part of my EDC. You're right, playing with them is addictive. One down side is lint from my pocket tends to collect in the "gear" section even when carrying it in a closed fabric knife pouch and it can gum up the action (so it requires regular cleaning and WD40 lubing). To your point about the tools, I do carry a pocket knife in my other pocket for quick blade access. Great review sir.
I've owned this MT since the day it came out. I bought it for the sheer deployment. I love that the pliers have a spring as well. Every other tool was a bonus. Luckily I have a dedicated knife, and dedicated every other tool. Love the switch for what it is. If i need something heavier I got a charge TL which is a beast. Great video. Love the watch at the beginning!
That's great to see your vid again. Thank your back and good to be your family
I go to an A&P school(Aviation mechanics) and I have a full size tool box with almost every tool I need, however I have carried this tool every day there and I half to say, the best feature is that you can open the pliers with one hand. I can't tell you how many times I have been holding something up with one hand and just needed pliers to move some sharp safety wire out of the way and these make that so easy every time. There are downsides, but I basically only use them as pliers, anything else I will just go grab the right tool for the job.
I watched the vid twice because its old school Nutn. This is what built the channel.
Mine failed first time i used it with light duty. I was sent a new one and it failed also! It's a "look cool" show and tell MT in my opinion! I hope you have better luck.
Exact same thing here for two pair a friend of mine and I got. Light every day duty, the kind I'd attribute to a gerber dime or leatherman squirt, and the plier heads folded. Sheered the locking plug cutaway on the inside on both of them.
I've carried this for over a yr. Some other things to consider are the pliers don't open very wide, the coil for the assisted opening can interfere with the pocket clip and if you apply any real pressure on the pliers the spring binds on the handle.
Great review! I’ve wondered about this tool. I personally will get this for the pliers because I have situations where I need the rapid deployment. The other tools are bonus. I currently carry a Leatherman Skeletool so I’d be upgrading my tool selection. I carry a Leatherman Micra for the scissors and smaller tools.
Let’s see more multitools!!
I had these pliers. Though they were fun for sure they were not for me. My plier head never deployed consistently and could not get the same strength out of the pliers as other pliers of MDMT size or even my Leatherman juice. Ended up selling it but it's an interesting idea
love how you make my Christmas shopping so easy, thanks bud
I have one of these. I like it. I don't like not having a knife you can access without opening the pliers, and I also had a problem with it coming open in my pocket pretty often.
Received that Citizen watch for father's day this year. Love it! Also love that I finally got in on a gear item before shown on TNP!
When I did structural fire fighting I kept one in my bunker gear. It was the only multi tool I could open quick and easy with Structural fire gloves on. I kept it in the gauntlet of my glove so if I got entangled while going internal I had something quick and fast to cut my way free. I had a pair of linesman pliers in my cargo pocket so for other things I used those but they would be hard to reach if I got entangled.
Lost my Blast to TSA about 2.5 years ago. Best multi I ever had.
Your Killen me nutn ! Every time I see one of your reviews , of a knife / watch / multitool . I'm s
Pause your video , get on amazon and press add to cart , and pull the trigger fast ! Because everything after your reviews goes "quickly" the naviforce watches gone , tonnier watches gone , infantry watches gone ! I love it it's fun , addictive , and adds great fun and great value to the e.d.c collection .......... keep it up nutn , and keep up the budget value reviews those are always sweet.... p.s. sorry for your loss of your family dog , that's always a hard loss.
Hey nutinfancy thank you for getting back to it so quickly. She will be missed. Sorry I didnt post this comment in the proper video I couldn't make it throw the video without tearing up.
Thank god, there is MT for all my filling needs!!
Ah thanks Nutn' I was pumped about these when I saw them announced but had forgotten about them. Pretty bummed about the way we can access the tools. Probable stick to my Wave and Skeletool.
I bought one of these about a year ago. It's pretty cool for its plier switchiness but I usually carry the Leatherman Skeletool because of the rapid knife blade deployment. Still, I carry it sometimes, and the Switchplier is bound to make an impression.
Good comment jabney, thanks. Yep it's cool just a bit light on the tool selection. -nutnfancy
I'm glad this tool is working for you, but I can't say me or my roommate had luck with them. We both got one each, and I have to say it's light duty only with those pliers. During her use with me, the wire cutters failed consistently to cut thin tin seals off of trucks (they'd overlap the cutters), and eventually both sets did the same thing. The gimmicky plier head sheered somewhere inside and caved, would no longer hold torque to the heads.
And neither me nor buddy hogged down on the things, just wear and tear for normal use. I didn't put pressure on the pliers more than I would a pair of scissors from gradeschool and they still busted, just not as fast as buddies did. He was trying to turn a bolt to hand tight torque and they gave within a month. The tools feel flimsy on the inside as well, with how thin they are. Overall, it just wasn't worth it to me to even bother returning them to amazon.
SOG's awl's are bomb proof, I broke my Power Assist a long time ago but I threw my file, can opener, and awl on my key chain. Great for some tools on the go.
Love your channel your awesome. I do have concerns that you don't report some of the major issues with the SOG gear. I've tested the switch plier and found the plier gets stuck in the closed position and if you put any weight on the squeezing it bends the pier gear and the tool does not flick upon. I've had to tweak the tool to get it actually work. SO I sent three back to SOG and each one had the same issue. Same concerns with the Q3. Have you used the baton q3 I have had three of these and the handle slides forward when you try to clamp down on something. SO I foudn that the plier is unusable. I love the amazing production time you put on the show. I was also very sad when I heard about your pup passing. Really amazing dog. I send my blessings to your family.
Gerber 400 compact sport is my go-to. Working fence line, need out/in one handed deployment.
I have the Leatherman Blast and love them! Tha being said I want 100 more styles and configurations, because cool.
I love my Surge... Big and Heavy but all the tools are Real tools... I wish someone would invent a tool where you could order it ala carte so you could select exactly each tool you want in your multi-tool... I don't need a bottle opener... or a can opener...
I have the blast and used it for work since it first became available. I’d hate to lose mine since it can’t be replaced. But it is literally a Blast to use.
Ah the beloved leatherman blast. Not to stoked about the sog sorry to say but man I used to have one of those blasts until I lost it and it was awesome at the time and still a great tool today IMO. Now I'm thinking of looking for one as a collector Lol!
Multi-tool market has seemed pretty dead. Glad to see anything new.
I believe the leatherman multis have 154 cutter inserts. Blades are 420 also. Correct me if I'm wrong.
If you use your Leatherman enough, the hinges get loose and you can flip the pliers out like a balisong. Its pretty fast.
I have an old blast, and I'm fairly certain it came with a simple leather sheath.
You are right! Cool factor is there but am I leaving my wave at home? Nah! Good video Nutn!
While it does have its place in EDC, these are light to med use. I had to send my first 2.0 back for repair.
I learned the hard way that the deployment mech will break if go too hard with it and now I know..
I have the Power Assist but it's a drawer Queen. I always grab my Leatherman MTs instead. Tools clump together and all deploy together. Tried reconfiguring but still only use for extra plier power. Horrible ergos and hate the blade locks.
Love my Wingman for EDC but got mine at the previous price point.
Hey Nutn, how about a review on the Gerber centre drive, I know it's gerber and its an HDMT but has nice long driver and would be interested to know if two hands can pull apart plyers if they jam up with certain media when using wire cutters, unlike most leathermans where handles just fold back and plyer head stays jammed closed?
I'm surprised you liked the Blast. First good quality multi tool I ever bought, and ended up hating it. The plastic insert seemed cheesy, and I found it quite uncomfortable if I really had to squeeze on it. The Wave, Rebar, and I'd even say wingman/sidekick blow it out of the water.
Toilet Owls report In ✅
Nutn, do you have any interest reviewing the SOG baton series? I like how slim they are but look like they compromise on everything that makes a good multi tool.
reminds me of the leatherman crunch.
for 50 bucks my personal favorites are the juice and the skeletool. they are enough for my uses.
i thought the reactor would be the skeletool killer but imo it is not. the ergos and stuff for this switchplier remind me of that.
Kinda gimmicky to me, I prefer a better tool set. Nice to see the Multi-tool show back in TNP though. I have a blast I bought after watching your review back in the day, I think was my first leatherman and of course now I am addicted and have 6 different leatherman tools!
Great Video ! Have too many Leatheman MT (Multi-Tools)... Is that possible ? Have the Leatherman Pocket Survival Tool and for sisors the Leatherman Raptor ! The TSA friendly Leatherman MT and can carry safely in my Go Bag to the VA... (Just got a small laptop for the computer Go Bag and the armor provides more padding for the laptop !) And then have the heavy MUT EOD... Also my SOG Trident is still going strong and backed up by my old Swiss Army Knife (one of the first MT's). Thank you for the video ! tjl
I just may have to buy that watch. It is freaking awesome looking. Second kind of cool all day.
@6:16 "Sympathetic Tool Deployment" --- another Nutn coinage (patent pending)
I think after a half a day, when the novelty of playing with the deployment feature wears of, you will settle on the tool being more hokey than anything.
Let's get an updated AR vid. More POU . Commmooonnnnnn
Nutn, please, please review TSA approved tools...look at Victorinox, Leatherman, SOG and anyone else. This is a growing and needed market and you’ll find it Needs your influence.
Howdy Nutn. I speak from my own experience of seeing my finger joint bone with no skin cause i tried to deploy a stuck tool with the blade out. It was pretty bad. Layed open with bone cuts bad. Not fun at all
I was wondering how you'd feel about this. Thought about getting one.
Great stuff! Skissors are underrated!
Hey nutn, look up the cammenga WC10 wrist compass. Youll love it
It's a weak design. I bent mine out of shape to the point that it won't close just cutting wire. Don't expect full size multi tool performance.
Mine never held up to flimsy tin truck seals, out of the box. And after more use, the heads gave up the ghost anyway. Nutn must have either gotten extremely lucky or me and roommate both got extremely unlucky with two lemons. Medium duty in my experience will absolutely kill these pliers, on average.
I broke one in a month of light use
Between this and a flashback, you'll be entertained for hours. :-p
Just curious if you ever had them get stuck closed. I have burned through three of these and had issues with each one. The most recent issue was I tried to crank down on a wire with the cutter and it got stuck closed ??? Any issues with the ability tohave the pliers squeezed really hard ???
What are your thoughts on the knifeless rebar? I always have a knife on me but then again there may be a time i just grab the tool instead
omg NutNfancy has a fancy citizen watch?! @_@
lololololol I had the exact same idea when I saw you deploy the pliers!!! Playing with them looks fun :D
Sweet! I was just looking at one of these.
Harrumph for the scissors. WAVE is the go to, heavy but...
Sold! Just on the fun factor!
Haha Nice! Just picked one of these up 2 nights ago for a stocking stuffer for myself.
I love the MT reviews!!! Second to motorcycle vids!!
OMG, a multitool review! Lord have mercy!
Next, you’ll be backpacking again :)
Just joking, dude. Love the old stuff.
Another great review. Thank you.
Blast probably got retired as Rebar completely takes over its niche, really. By the way another reason to love the Charge/Wave/Rebar family is the immense modularity, you can swap the internal tools back and forth at will, provided one process the knowledge and tool to put them back together. Here's what I did even before Leatherman came up with the Wave+:
No scissors because I do have a pair of Gingher 4" in my system, no straight edge main blade because I always carry at least 2 folding knives on person when possible.
You might already guessed what I call this breed between Wave and Rebar-why, WABAR of course! What else can it be, right?!
P.S. Do check out the new SOG Powerpint while you are at it, it's like a pumped up Squirt PS4, with pocket clip and all locking tools. Has been my personal favorite MDT throughout the 3 months since I got it.
Just bought one of these new off of eBay. Not bad for the price.
Speaking of the lightning otf, mine just gave out after about 4 years.
Check out the Letherman Crunch. Certinly to my mind the only Leatherman worth having (I'm a Victorinox fan)
Leatherman should buy this design and make it out of materials that are worth a darn. Granted I have never held or used one, but all the other SOG knives I have used have been garbage.
So I know the Juice is your favorite Nutn, but can you or anyone of the TNPrs give me a recommendation for a budget EDC multitool? I would love the juice but 70-80 is out of my reach as a college student. Any help is appreciated!
You don't mention one of the features I think is really cool is the belt clip. My EDC is the Leatherman Skeletool which also has a clip. Am I the only one out there that wants a clip on my EDC miltitool?
the sidekick should have one too. It does suck having to buy a leatherman clip as an accessory for the Wave, but that one's pretty good at fittin' in pockets. You can sometimes find the skeletool for a deal, but it doesn't have a huge tool selection which plays against it for the weight. I think I grabbed mine for $25 on clearance. -Doodle
That Citizen looks just like my Seiko SNK 809
No scissors is a deal breaker for me nowadays.
God, skizzers for the win
Don't get any grit in it or it won't work well, 1st hand experience
watching TNP playing with lightning OTF =)
Can you do a review on the Gerber Center Drive MY?!
Skisocrs or nothing man. Well I have multi tools without skiscors, but they have very dedicated tools for some other reason (MUTT, AK combitool, Shotgun combitool, yeah).
First time you made me laugh ever and it wasn't a small laugh my sides hurt and I woke the neighbor, "push that button....M'ERICA"
yeah... nutn is back at the mt table....

greetings from cologne, germany
arthur brehm;)
MDMT. Love it.
Lovely watch.
Leatherman skeletool- best tool ever made
Pretty cool but having to open it to deploy the knife is a deal breaker. Side kick is the best.
I dont care that it doesnt have scissors. I carry a victorinox signature. Its small enough that you dont feel it yet you have scissors, a pen, small knife, tweezers, file and screwdriver.
There's Leatherman, and then there are the sub-standard lines. Such as SOG and Gerber. No thanks
I carry an orange Wave everywhere after seeing a review on this channel. Can't see switching any time soon.
SOG used to have decent stuff now it's all crap steel with the SOG logo smeared everywhere. Victorinox have great tools also. The Gerber one hand opening pliers are fun to play with but as stated the Leatherman's are far superior.
I have found Victorinox quality excellent--not less than Leatherman, and sometimes superior. I have a 20 year old SwissTool going strong. And a Leatherman SuperTool going strong for more than 20 years. But--Leatherman is getting a bit slack, and quality control is far from perfect compared to yester years.
And then we have Victorinox that make the best MT's.
Wire cutter isn't the greatest. I've compared it to leatherman and gerber multi tool. Other tools are awesome. Plier handle is to weak for normal house hold wires. My take on it
The steel of the side cutter is much too soft!
Hey let’s see a howa 1500 rifle review
What about their new baton multi tools?
Is the MTRV drought over?
Nut'n ..... back in business - all right
I'll take the skeletool over this convoluted design.
Hate when you refer to tools/knives that are out of production. Otherwise love what you are doing!
The damn scissors lmao
Great vid. agreed, more bang for your buck with LM, and even some Gerbers. Love the multi tool vids! Thx
Very nice
hahah I like your honesty I like to play
cool tool
