- SOG recently introduced a multi tool designed for first responders. Today we will be taking a closer look at the features and functions of this tool, as well as checking out how well it performs cutting tasks.
I’m a EMT, and Search and Rescue. I have these and they’ve been fantastic. They clean easily which is nice for bodily fluids. But I also have tons others I use.
While I love my Leatherman Raptor, I must say that the SOG is intriguing. I look forward to your comparison video!
It will be interesting to see how they match up head to head.
Great review Ben, Think I'll be staying with my Leatherman Raptor, but I look forward to your comparison video!
Thank you very much.
Discovered your channel that’s to the leatherman ratchet driver. Really enjoying your content. Subscribed
Well thank you, thank you for your subscription as well. I really appreciate it.
I'm impressed that they managed to fit a bunch of extra tools in there, shame about the actual selection though.
I agree.
No pocket clip? All I needed to know, personally.
Enjoyed the video, regardless.
So far from what I know, you've only done reviews on powerpint, power lock and now the the parashears. Hopefully in the near future you can review power access, power assist and their recent power access assist. Thank you.
I do need to implement some more SOG products.
Pick one hair and deal with the pain Ben. That’s the best test for tweezers.
Lol, right.
The awl could be used to sew certain wounds, although i'm pretty sure you would need a smaller one.
Or maybe you can use it for emergency sewing clothes and the like.
Good Lord, I don’t want anybody sewing on me with that thing!
I'll stick with my Leatherman raptor,thanks Ben for the review
I would like to see SOG release folding compound action pliers with no extra tools. I would carry it with my sak. I highly doubt they would do that though. Thanks for the great review. It has taken my mind off hoping hr 8 and 1446 don’t go into action.
I doubt they ever will.
Dear Ben , I sometimes watch some of your old vids . Do you read the comments there if I wanted to ask you about something ?
I try to, though I’m a bit behind at the moment.
How are you supposed to crack open a cold one in the ambulance if your trauma shears don't have a bottle opener?
I hear ya. Just doesn’t make any logical sense.
I would say a lot of nurses use bandage scissors also and in the operating room a bottle opener is quite nice to pop the tops off of vials of medicine
It seems like they tried to make a Raptor that doesn't have the offset handles. Which lead to them making the handles thicker. Which lead to them having space to add a bunch of pointless tools.
They of course had to use their geared mechanism, because “branding”.
All of which lead to not having enough budget left for the shears. So they went with a stamped metal shears similar to the ones they sell in dollar stores.
You should check out XSHEARs they’re not a multi tool but they’re half the price And they are way easier to clean blood and grime out of
U should be performing more task while explaining... except maybe the glass breaker? Haha nice review either way.
I’ll try to reference that for future videos.
If you are looking for another unique multitool to review check out the utica kutmaster multimaster
I’ll try to look into it.
I can understand why you like the rope cutter, but I don't get it. Seems needlessly redundant with the sheers. Still, in theory I like the idea of the secondary tools but the selection could have been better.
I was actually thinking that while making the video, but decided to leave that thought out.
These would be great for nurses as well. $80 is kinda steep though.
Price is pretty steep on these for sure.
@@txtoolcrib Thanks for the review TTC. I just purchased the Leatherman for my work.
@@thisgustin I think that is the better choice.
You might need a bottle opener to have a beer when your loved one is bleeding out. I went to this review because I like the compound leverage idea, but I think they over did it with the extra tools.
Great review Ben ,, but why can SOG come up with there own ideas instead of stealing Leathermans. I just can’t stand companies that can do that .
It does seem to be quite similar. Though I think it is different enough I can give them a pass.
420HC is pushing it at those prices. 3cr for a cutting implement is unacceptable for the price. Is that even eutectoid?
Also w/r/t the (lousy) screwdrivers: if I'm in a situation where I need trauma shears I'm not unscrewing anything, I'm hacking and smashing and prying my way in.
Overpriced I think. The raptor definitely looks sturdier. The ring cutter on the Raptor is a unique feature. With the cheap metal SOG uses, I don't see how they would implement it. Maybe that's why they veered off from it.
Great review, thanks.
Yeah I agree
Leatherman ratchet driver is out.
Where?
Go to leatherman website.
Go to REI store.
I’m aware of that now, this is from a over a week ago.
Im totally unimpressed. Mediocre materials and a sloppy setup.
It didn’t perform terrible, and there are a couple of things I like about it.
@@txtoolcrib I think it would be handy in a pinch. Its just Im thinking along the lines of indefinite use. Sog does have some quality products for just about everyone. Thank you for your informative content btw. We appreciate it. ☺️
You’re welcome. I know where you are coming from though. The Raptor outperformed the SOG in my estimation. I am currently editing the video testing them against one another. Though, I will say, the SOG performed better than I thought it would.
@@txtoolcrib also your review of the letherman crunch is what led me to replace the ancient one I happened to lose moving. It is an oddball tool but I find mine to be super useful.
I hear ya, the Crunch is incredibly useful.
