I watch a lot of knife reviews. I have never seen your channel. I admit, you do such a great job I find myself engaged even though I have no intention to buy any of these products. You'd make an excellent edc salesman because you have me thinking about buying things I know I don't want. 😂 Great review, keep up the good work.
I have to disagree with you (sorry). I have this, & absolutely love it. It has replaced my Charge+ as my new EDC. It is so small & light you dont know you are carrying it, yet it is still loaded with tools & fully functional, while being just big enough to actually be useful. Pliers are excellent, Knife is sharp & decent enough, & I never had much of a problem with getting tools out. Sure, its not perfect, but it's pretty damn close, & it's the perfect size & weight for what I want. Keychain tools are too small & gimmicky & next to useless, & normal MT's are too big & heavy for convenient EDC, & there is nothing else that comes even close to this many tools for this size & weight. I highly recommend this MT for anyone looking for a small, light, unobtrusive EDC that is packed with tools & extremely usefull.
you have a lot of house keys in your pocket, they don't weigh too much, your handkerchief and your lighter and a packet of cigarettes, you don't need all that to weigh a lot, same thing for your multitool or are you driving around with a trailer?
Common theme with TH-cam reviewers of a product much like Taylor Martin best damn edc ..pulls it straight from the box and says a couple lines of horse crap abt it no marring scratches surface wear no anything they don't use these tools it's just whoever company pays the biggest for the review of it warrants what they say about them in the review it's a disease on TH-cam nowadays
I agree with a lot of your criticisms, but I still like the SOG Power-Pint for these reasons: It is small, but much stronger than tiny ones like the Squirt. The pliers have the compound jaws, so for the size the grip strength is very good. The knife can be sharpened well and cuts well, the other tools are decent. I use the pliers and the knife frequently, and it fits in my vest pocket. So it suits me!
I can appreciate your point of view, but I've had one for a while and love it. It's not designed to replace a full sized tool, but it's absolutely perfect for my needs
Idk man. I have one and found the blade to be very workable for the size sacrifice. A bit finicky to sharpen, but it's a scalpel when you do give it a good self sharpening. The reason I got it was because of the size. It also has the tools I use the most which are screwdrivers, pliers, and a knife. The scissors work well enough for everything but fingernails imo but the pliers/cutters are excellent, drivers work great, blades do the job and all the other tools are serviceable for the size sacrifice, but also things I rarely uae anyway. I always carry a few double sided bits on one of those rubber bit strips in my wallet for a few more drivers. Also, some good mods are you can reprofile the tip of the file and make a solid flathead/scraper, and the bottle opener can be ground into a great smaller flathead. I don't mind the can opener as I cannot remember the last time I had a can to open that needed an opener (most have pull tabs now, and I find most canned food to be gross and avoid it at all costs). My main complaint is that there is no bit storage on the tool. Also, the blade is a bit on the thin side. I would rather they sacrifice one of the other tools and made a beefier blade. But overall, I find it to be a very useful little tool and one of the few I can stand to regularly carry in my pocket. Although, if I had to do it again, I may have bought the leatherman skeletool and just ground off the carabiner clip as it has a great blade and it also fairly small. And h It has multiple bit storage spots.
Bought one. Carry it as EDC. Works fine, with no issues. Cannot recall last time I needed a can opener. Price point is less than value received. I recommend it.
Never be sorry for your tools being dirty, nothing worse than seeing these reviews done by people who are just collectors, as a viewer I always appreciate people who put these things through the work so we know what the capabilities truly are!
Sorry that it didn't work out for you. I am delighted with mine. I can't imagine a case where I would need to open a can where I wouldn't have quick access to a regular can opener. I would never use the knife with other tools sticking out. I find it very convenient that I can lift another tool to unlock the knife instead of needing to open the pliers part way to reach the release. I carry it with a couple of screwdriver bits so the bit holder is a great feature. My pliers do meet at the tip. It seems like people either love it or hate it.
We both have similar concerns. I have the Leatherman original wave and I find it too bulky to EDC, hence I tandem carry a leatherman squirt P4 and victorinox manager. I rarely use the can opener hence this solution works for me. The new leatherman bond and leatherman curl are slim but still big to make a comfy EDC. The Powerpint in my opinion is just the right size for EDC and can do medium duty tasks that the squirt and manager tandem cannot do for the same footprint. Given the shortcoming mentioned in most reviews including yours. I decided to purchase the powerpint knowing its shortcoming, and I just mod it to make it better and just accept the flaws that cannot be modded. The size factor and convenience to carry is the main selling point for me. Quality is not Victorinox and Leatherman caliber. Not even close. But in my opinion, usable in a pinch for most EDC tasks. It doesn't do the best job, but it will get the job done. My complaints on the Powerpint / soltuions / acceptance 1. The blade - the shape for me is not usable. It is an inverted straight back blade. Where the straight back became the cutting edge and the curved cutting edge became the back part of the knife (blunt side). I wished they just flipped the blade and made it a regular straightback it would make it a proper knife. The blade is also not factory sharp, but again usable. And it can easily be fixed by sharpening it. 2. The pliers The pliers are great, but the wire cutter is crap. For thin 16AWG to 18AWG fine stranded wires, it can't cut in one cut, you have to do maybe 2 or 4 cuts as the wire is so thin it just slips between the cutting jaws. Not fun to use, but still it gets the job done. The squirt cuts in one snip. But the jaws of the squirt is just too weak compared to what the powerpint can do, so still powerpint for me. I don't cut wires often so I can live with it. I use the pliers more. 3. The Bottle Opener For me the shape of this tool is poorly designed, they favor putting a nail pry part to get the tool out. I cut this off and made it flat. This now gives me a pry bar and flathead screwdriver, making this the most used tool I use everyday. I followed the width of the squirt as i find those dimensions very usable. Since the tools clump together when opened, the more you don't need the nail pry part so cut them off to get more functionality on the powerpint. 4. Scissors My complaint is also the same, you can't open the scissors jaws big enough as the spring lever stops it from doing so. I don't expect to use the scissors much because of its design. But still, if you need to cut thread, tape or some other little stuff, it is still more convenient to use this that using the knife. It still gets the job done. So I just accepted its flaws. 5. File at par with the squirt with a much bigger file. So Im okay with this. If this was a diamond coated file this will sure give more points. Can't be compared to a wave file but still gets the job done. 6. Eyeglass screwdriver I love this, no complaints here. I use this for a lot of things. Piercing stuff, open torx head, anything. This is my multipurpose tool. 7. Awl I use this as a scraper for abusive jobs to give my knife a break from this. This things is pointy, even more pointy than the knife. 8. Can opener Never used, but yes the blade is blunt. I plan to sharpen this when i get the time. 9. cutting hook I don't have a use for this yet but i plan to sharpen the hook to supplement the crappy scissors. 10. The bit driver This accepts standard 1/4' bits. That is definitely a super plus for me. I don't use it, but for heavier tasks this is superior even to what the wave can offer. Not built in but you know you have it there. And with a bit extension and bits, you can use this for a lot of stuff In summary, The leatherman wave will do the job best with comfort 3x to 5x better. But with my age now, I don't like carrying the bulk The squirt and manager will also do the job best with comfort 2x better. But it cannot do medium duty tasks or take abuse. The power pint is not the best tool but it gets the job done. And I choose to EDC this because it is the best compromise to what is available in the market right now. So Leatherman, Victorinox, if you are reading this. I hope you make a multitool at this form factor I will definitely get one.
Very strange! Which TH-cam were you watching? Apparently you (only?) found negative opinions about the Powerpint. I too watched TH-cam to find a good EDC multitool and 90% of the reviews I found were situated somewhere between "positive" and "extremely enthusiastic"; so, I DID listen to the reviews, bought a Powerpint, and found that the reviewers were right - it's a great little multitool! [In my country, cans that don't have a "ring-pull" to open them are few and far between - and "fresh" tastes better than "canned", anyway, so I didn't try the can opener and can't comment.]
I think, power pint, it's the BEST tool for EDC, very compact, and It works good, and good steel, I have gerber, leatherman, but this one is mu favorite, for heavy work, I have special heavy tools, but for EDC,....the BEST..
Oddly enough, yours is the 1st review I've seen that wasn't super positive (out of MANY that I've watched), so I guess we found different reviews. Glad I found yours though because I had this ready to buy, and now I am reconsidering. Thanks!
This tool is by far the best compromise between size and utility have I owned, sure I have a Leatherman that beats it but it weighs twice as much and in the UK it isn't legal carry. I modified this easily to prevent the blades locking so I comply with UK laws.
Is it a major crime if you carry a locking knife? Most US states have actually decreased the amount of knife laws. Automatic's/Switchblades are now legal in most places.
@@bigrockets68 With a small file, I filed off the locking detent from the blades until they would no longer lock. My only slight concern is whether I should file off all the detents from the tools that are not bladed.
Only reason ide do the blade is i live in the uk,no point doing the tools imo,looking at the leatherman bond but dont like the fact the blade can pop out
Got one today and overall am pleased with it. I already have a Leatherman wave + and a surge with bit kit and ratcheting driver, the wave in a Vanquest edcm huge maximizer, the surge in a Trident 21. Both are too large and heavy to carry on my person. I've carried a little Gerber dime for a few years and its worked fine for light duty tasks, the package opener probably gets the most use, used it today to get the Powerpint out of the blister package. My biggest complaint with the SOG is that it doesn't have a flat head screwdriver, a huge omission imo. I guess I could just keep a flat head bit in the Powerpint's magnetic bit holder. I really like the size of the SOG and that it has a pocket clip. If it had storage for even one two sided bit, I'd rank it very high.
exactly, with just a little imagination you can use just about any one of the tools located on the outside as a full sized screw driver. I prefer the mini screw driver they give us tho and is one of the tools i use the most as it is so versatile especially when some precision work needs to be done
Most of the time bad scissors are a result of loose blades, whom are not making enough friction against each other. You can bend them inwards a little and it will probably work well.
I use the Charge plus while at work. Carry it in a Yellow Birch leather pouch on my belt. When not at work. I carry a leatherman skeletool CX along with Victoronox Classic SD and a P38 on my keyring. This is easy carry and I can accomplish all needed tasksl that come my way. I hate cheap blade steels. The 154 CM blade steel in these products does an excellent job
I bought one for my 10 year old daughter. It seems like a well made multitool. I did see some bad reviews on the can opener. One guy actually got a defective tool, where part of the can opener tool was misssing. The can opener on the one i received is in good shape, but it's definitely not sharp. I'm honestly not sure how sharp a can opener needs to be. My old Leatherman Wave and stabdard Victorinix Swiss Army knives always worked fine. I suppose if it's too dull to open a can, ill just take a file to it. Ny larger concern is that the can opener tool doesn't seem very robust. Of all thetools you need to be oversized and strong, the can opener is the one.
Thanks for the review. I am looking to buy one of these because I dont have any good tools with me because all of them are WAY too big for pocket carry, and where I live it's not viable to carry anything in a carry pouch or anything like that, it just looks weird and everybody keeps starring at you, wish for me is a no go, so I end up carrying it in my backpack, wish I try as much as possible not to carry because it's way too big and heavy with the laptop. So yeah, a pint sized multitool would be excellent for me. And by your review I can see that any problems with it are easily fixed by the user. My main concern was of fit and finish, that tools would jam or unlock easily. Since it's more about the grind of the edges, one can deal with it (although I agree that it should come ready out of the box)
I’d recommend trying to carry the small knipex pliers. I had a similar conundrum for a while and love the combo of a pair of super small knipex pliers plus the SAK. As a bonus, the pliers are way more useful IMO than even the biggest multitool pliers. Not needing the pliers off a multitool really expands the options.
@@KnifeThoughts They’re a bit expensive as pliers go but not that bad when you think about them relative to a lot of other EDC gear - all in the perspective I guess. I have no doubt they’ll take a lot more abuse and last a lot longer than a multitool.
@@KnifeThoughts Knipex may be a little expensive and once you get a pair it shows. Solid tools that last, I've had one pair for 20 years that that work as well as my newer ones. Definitely my first choice for any pliers.
It weighs 4.2 ounces and is 3.2 inches long and has 18 tools. Am I missing something here? That is terrific for something that size. The geared pliers are excellent engineering for great leverage.
I got this guy week ago. My thoughts: - scissors not work. - package opener not works. I tried to sharpen it and it works much better - i mean it started to work, but i still dont like it. - they call it philips screwdriver,but its a piece of junk screwdriver. Vic's philips work with really tiny screws, e.g. watch or glasses, this one is just for normal size screws. Its more roundy, not sharp edged. Generally i agree with all your thoughts from this reviev. anyway i will keep it in backpack.
I think u got a bad one , I got same thing and each tool gets out by it self maybe you gotta grease it up with some quality grease maybe like gun grease?? That’s wh as t I used Lukas gun lubricant
Interesting mate. Might get one anyway.... Just fancy something in that size.. Besides if I don't like it it can join a pile of knives that don't come out much. Can always leave in car as back up back! Thanks again mate.
My uncle sent me a Sog multitool when I was in the Navy, and I used it a lot. Back then it didnt have a name, but its equivalent to todays Master Mechanic. Since I left the Navy every job I've ever had has given me a full set of tools so dont use it much any more. Shame Sog has gone downhill.
Thank you for this. Guess I'll wait till leatherman makes this size of a tool. Wish they'd do it soon we need a mini p2/p4 or a t4 plier version. I own a free p4, t4 and skeletool so I just know I'd end up disliking the quality of this Lil guy.
The difference in pliers between SAK and powerpint is absolutely huge though - if you want a pliers based multitools the SAK really won't cut it, Even compared to the squirt ps4
I guess it all comes down to personal preference but in my mind nothing will stand up to a leatherman for straightforward function and unparalleled quality. Gerber mostly living off the name but does have some products that have a place in the market and that I have or would buy. Sog has a few unique engineering functions that can add a lot of value to some people looking to spend less and have a tolerance for a potentially really good tool that could be a dud because of quality control. It’s just the nature of manufacturing in that part of the world quantity over quality but they have come a long way in the last 20 years.
Thanks, my edc is a sak. I use the awl a lot, it’s perfect. Yet I only miss the pliers and the bits (intriguing option) I’m sure that this tool can be great after good mods.
i doubt there is a more edc_able quality multitool out there. i used Swisstool with ratchet and now black&silver Surge with all the upgrades i needed, saw blades, bits, ratchet driver. in my country you cant have any blade in public. when is cold outside i carry it with no concerns but in the summer i struggle to conceal it. this SOG looks very good and probably its the best edc multitool for city. i would buy it in a second but i need a woodsaw as much as i need a blade and scissors... very nice review, thank you. some people say you are whining but i feel your concerns. on my Swisstool when i opened the blade, the big screwdriver opened too and drived me crazy. i payed alot for it and that should not happened.
Sorry to say bud, but most your criticisms are easily fixed with a diamond stone. Second to that the price point for what it is ? You have helped me tremendously though. As want a small going out MT for when in nice clothes 🤣 was a mix between this and squirt. Being me I want everything possible so guess it will be this. As my surge just gets way to heavy for going out cloths.
Dude completely misunderstood the purpose of this tool. It’s not intended to fix your nuclear reactor on your Ohio class submarine. It’s meant to get you out of a bind. And for that it’s pretty close to perfect. If you’re opening cans everyday, you need a proper can opener. If you’re a smoker, you carry a lighter, not a flint kit. For the size/price/tool set, you really can’t beat it. The only negative is, it lacks a large flat head screwdriver. Most people will grind down the tip of bottle opener to make a screwdriver. The tiny flat head included is just too small for the average screw.
Thank you from keeping me from buying this cool looking but not so functional tool. Ive never carried a multitool but i keep looking with the hope that one day ill finally find one. Until then ill just keep with my spyderco police.
I have a leatherman wave plus and I’m not using it for tough jobs and I’m also not a heavy user of it. Is it better to have a sog powerpint instead? Or should I keep both of them?😂
I feel like every single Leatherman does not have the combo of the tools I want. Unless you get the way too big one. They always waste space with the leather awl. Give me scissors!
@@KnifeThoughts you loose the wire cutting but im a mechanical engineer so its nuts and bolts for me. And where a multitool like skips the flats. the knipex they grip amazingly well.
@@KnifeThoughts If you don't want to lose the wire cutting you can pair the knipex 08 21 145. They can tighten/loosen bolts up to like 17mm pretty well, and I've cut cleanely through 0 gauge wire with them (with a lot of effort), but it's possible; good luck doing that with multitool pliers. They also only weigh 4oz. They are literally the best needle nose pliers you will ever use.
I’m currently a Victorinox guy, but I’m slowly starting to feel the need for a pair of pliers. My Vic has a wood saw and scissors- plus other tools I’m less interested in- which I use for pruning in the garden. But the other tools do come in handy in various ways, so eeeeevery once in a while I find myself wishing it had other functions. But I’m very much a miniature, pocket-carry EDC kind of guy. My primary knife is a Spyderco Dragonfly 2. My flashlight is an Olight Baton 2. I have my Vic as my MT. If you could recommend any other small pliers that are bigger than a Squirt but still function well, what would you suggest?
I've been down the multi tool road, still looking for the ultimate combo for my uses. I really think I'm going to tool bash a few and make a quality blade in Cruwear or 3V to make it a trye one tool user . It's always little things like you talked about that make a tool disappointing.
@@sevenin1 i own both the charge plus and the charge plus tti, the tti is literally only 1mm thicker and exactly the same in every other dimension... it feels exactly the same in the hand and pocket...
I so so so badly want a plier based multi-tool, pocketable with pocket clip, to pair with a SAK. I know there will be some redundancy, and I can live with that, just give me more options in this form factor.
Thanks for the decent review. How much did you pay? Why not mention it? Its currently ~$50 6/1/22. What are the constraints in size and weight of your muktitool? Given the state of the EDC world, your target seems unrealistic. Some people do the Altoids tin thing. Too small for me. But Dime, Squirt, Micra or Minichamp could work I think some SAKs do fit. Saw somebody remove scales to make his SAK fit. For some people it's the pocket thing. Get pocket organizers.Get a Scottevest. Gets heavy. I advocate developing a robust and scalable EDC System. Admin, Water & Snacks, FAK & Meds., Grooming Comb, Breathmints, etc. Some tools Flashlight, Lighter, Electronic (power & cables, cell) Leatherman had a better option with its C & CS Juice series but its now obsolete. But nothing locked. Small pliers were limited. I think you are on the right track but will a good manfacturer make a High Quality Small Multitool? A Juiced up Juice CS4 or XE6? Checkout Swiss Army Evo S557. Otherwise throw in the towel and carry an SAK in your pocket and a fullsize Multitool in your shoulder bag or backpack. Had a colleague former Israeli mikitary who schlepped a 30-40 lb backback everywhere he want. The dude was prepared for everything short of an space invasion. Even then he would survive.
does that also mean we should listen to the people saying don't listen to random youtubers doing reviews? Love my powerpint. I have leathermans, gerbers, clones, I wish I had not believed the reviews early on and got the sog powerpint.
I hawe seen a lot of hate on those scissors. In my opinion, its Made well functioning, bad badly placed. If you Just grab and use it, you Will in most cases push them in bad direction and thus its not working. Its small design flaw that can be overcome easily in my opinion, Just push with your thumb more from the clip side.
Consider a leatherman juice s2 or the victorinox spirit x or the spirit mx with one handed opening blade and a pocket clip. Has everything u need and the quality. And pretty light weight. Plus victorinox Beats leatherman any day! If u want a relatively edc friendly plied based multitool then look no further than a victorinox full sized multitool. Even the tinker delux has got pliers in a relatively small package tho it’s a little thick for my needs but for me the Swiss tool spirit x is the ideal multitool out there for my needs 🙏🏾
I don’t get people complaining about opening edge tools and it pulling other tools open staggered that need to be pushed back in with the easiest of efforts. This is done by design because of compact nature. These same people would really be complaining if it wasn’t engineered that way and they couldn’t get the inner tools out. Hahahaha.
I feel like in theory this would pair with the Victorinox Rambler or Victorinox Compact really well. They each complement each other well in terms of strengths and weaknesses.
To be honest, that geometry is not very good for that, the seat belt can easily bundle while cutting. The ones on the full-size multitool of sog, or the one in the dedicated seat belt cutter by OMP are the correct ones, it's 2 razor blades meeting, kinda like a scissor
@@KnifeThoughts stop lieing, you totally can, you can even close it with one hand! Trie it before you say such things, I am doing it as I type this comment!
These "tools" or EDC pieces of crap are just toys/gadgets for people like us who think they'll look cool to themselves once they finally get the chance to use them. Normal people have proper kitchen can openers in their own kitchen or even just leave one at work if the office kitchen doesn't have one already. Come on, these "tools" are only meant to be used when you're camping or fighting at the front... Or you're an outdoor / construction worker who has no vehicle nor toolbox, which is possible though...maybe? Same thing with top of the line heavy duty multi tools. Real "workers" use proper specific tools. I try hard to look for stuff to fix around me, at home, my kids' bikes, my motorcycle... there was not a single time I wished I had a specific tool in my pocket... I'm a lousy handyman, and have really basic tools at hand, but I got everything I need in traditional tool factor and I prefer use them than my Swisstool, Powerpint or any other MT... Actually, all these were made for kids or teens. When you like to fiddle with things in your room or outside, exploring activities, and you don't need "real" tools. I've never played more with my SAK than when I was between 10 and 16 y-o.
Dude I can totally open the knives with 1 hand and even close them with some practice, so a few minutes in your review and you're already wrong! Of course a Leatherman is a lot better (I've been daily driving a Wave for 16 years) but I've bought this one for when I travel by air or when I don't have a lot of space. Also leatherman has nothing in this size even the skeletool is bigger and doesn't have the amount of tools this has. I have about 30 multitools/swissarmy knives and I still find a time/place to use/carry this too sometimes!
I succumbed to one of these for the interesting design and it’s unique geared pliers, but it’s actually so poorly executed I dont carry it, or even use it. So sadly, it’s my first, and last SOG product. IMO….j-u-n-k.
I watch a lot of knife reviews. I have never seen your channel. I admit, you do such a great job I find myself engaged even though I have no intention to buy any of these products. You'd make an excellent edc salesman because you have me thinking about buying things I know I don't want. 😂 Great review, keep up the good work.
I really appreciate that! Means a lot. I just share what comes through my hands and my honest thoughts on them.
Feel free to share the channel!
To bad he doesn't know much about multitools.
I have to disagree with you (sorry).
I have this, & absolutely love it. It has replaced my Charge+ as my new EDC.
It is so small & light you dont know you are carrying it, yet it is still loaded with tools & fully functional, while being just big enough to actually be useful. Pliers are excellent, Knife is sharp & decent enough, & I never had much of a problem with getting tools out.
Sure, its not perfect, but it's pretty damn close, & it's the perfect size & weight for what I want. Keychain tools are too small & gimmicky & next to useless, & normal MT's are too big & heavy for convenient EDC, & there is nothing else that comes even close to this many tools for this size & weight.
I highly recommend this MT for anyone looking for a small, light, unobtrusive EDC that is packed with tools & extremely usefull.
you have a lot of house keys in your pocket, they don't weigh too much, your handkerchief and your lighter and a packet of cigarettes, you don't need all that to weigh a lot, same thing for your multitool or are you driving around with a trailer?
@@francois5050 that was a hilarious group of wrong assumptions.
Why is there such a lack of multi tools of this size?! This is the perfect EDC size and Leatherman don't even make one in size anymore.

I agree with a lot of your criticisms, but I still like the SOG Power-Pint for these reasons: It is small, but much stronger than tiny ones like the Squirt.

I use the pliers and the knife frequently, and it fits in my vest pocket. So it suits me!
I'm glad it works for you!
This was my first multi tool, gift from my dad, so it has s special place in my heart for sentimental reasons 🙏
That’s a great gift!
To each his own.

You can get this leatherman freestyle as that doesn’t have the caribeaner and bottle opener
Bought one. Carry it as EDC. Works fine, with no issues. Cannot recall last time I needed a can opener. Price point is less than value received. I recommend it.

It’s one of the best in that size and prize. Don’t think twice about this tool, its really great!

We both have similar concerns. I have the Leatherman original wave and I find it too bulky to EDC, hence I tandem carry a leatherman squirt P4 and victorinox manager. I rarely use the can opener hence this solution works for me.
The new leatherman bond and leatherman curl are slim but still big to make a comfy EDC.
The Powerpint in my opinion is just the right size for EDC and can do medium duty tasks that the squirt and manager tandem cannot do for the same footprint. Given the shortcoming mentioned in most reviews including yours. I decided to purchase the powerpint knowing its shortcoming, and I just mod it to make it better and just accept the flaws that cannot be modded.
The size factor and convenience to carry is the main selling point for me. Quality is not Victorinox and Leatherman caliber. Not even close. But in my opinion, usable in a pinch for most EDC tasks. It doesn't do the best job, but it will get the job done.
My complaints on the Powerpint / soltuions / acceptance
1. The blade - the shape for me is not usable. It is an inverted straight back blade. Where the straight back became the cutting edge and the curved cutting edge became the back part of the knife (blunt side). I wished they just flipped the blade and made it a regular straightback it would make it a proper knife.
The blade is also not factory sharp, but again usable. And it can easily be fixed by sharpening it.
2. The pliers
The pliers are great, but the wire cutter is crap. For thin 16AWG to 18AWG fine stranded wires, it can't cut in one cut, you have to do maybe 2 or 4 cuts as the wire is so thin it just slips between the cutting jaws. Not fun to use, but still it gets the job done. The squirt cuts in one snip. But the jaws of the squirt is just too weak compared to what the powerpint can do, so still powerpint for me. I don't cut wires often so I can live with it. I use the pliers more.
3. The Bottle Opener
For me the shape of this tool is poorly designed, they favor putting a nail pry part to get the tool out. I cut this off and made it flat. This now gives me a pry bar and flathead screwdriver, making this the most used tool I use everyday. I followed the width of the squirt as i find those dimensions very usable. Since the tools clump together when opened, the more you don't need the nail pry part so cut them off to get more functionality on the powerpint.
4. Scissors
My complaint is also the same, you can't open the scissors jaws big enough as the spring lever stops it from doing so. I don't expect to use the scissors much because of its design. But still, if you need to cut thread, tape or some other little stuff, it is still more convenient to use this that using the knife. It still gets the job done. So I just accepted its flaws.
5. File
at par with the squirt with a much bigger file. So Im okay with this. If this was a diamond coated file this will sure give more points. Can't be compared to a wave file but still gets the job done.
6. Eyeglass screwdriver
I love this, no complaints here. I use this for a lot of things. Piercing stuff, open torx head, anything. This is my multipurpose tool.
7. Awl
I use this as a scraper for abusive jobs to give my knife a break from this. This things is pointy, even more pointy than the knife.
8. Can opener
Never used, but yes the blade is blunt. I plan to sharpen this when i get the time.
9. cutting hook
I don't have a use for this yet but i plan to sharpen the hook to supplement the crappy scissors.
10. The bit driver
This accepts standard 1/4' bits. That is definitely a super plus for me. I don't use it, but for heavier tasks this is superior even to what the wave can offer. Not built in but you know you have it there. And with a bit extension and bits, you can use this for a lot of stuff
In summary,
The leatherman wave will do the job best with comfort 3x to 5x better. But with my age now, I don't like carrying the bulk
The squirt and manager will also do the job best with comfort 2x better. But it cannot do medium duty tasks or take abuse.
The power pint is not the best tool but it gets the job done. And I choose to EDC this because it is the best compromise to what is available in the market right now.
So Leatherman, Victorinox, if you are reading this. I hope you make a multitool at this form factor I will definitely get one.
Very strange! Which TH-cam were you watching? Apparently you (only?) found negative opinions about the Powerpint.
I too watched TH-cam to find a good EDC multitool and 90% of the reviews I found were situated somewhere between "positive" and "extremely enthusiastic"; so, I DID listen to the reviews, bought a Powerpint, and found that the reviewers were right - it's a great little multitool!
[In my country, cans that don't have a "ring-pull" to open them are few and far between - and "fresh" tastes better than "canned", anyway, so I didn't try the can opener and can't comment.]
Put a P38 can opener on your key ring and keep the Squirt. Problem solved.
I think, power pint, it's the BEST tool for EDC, very compact, and It works good, and good steel, I have gerber, leatherman, but this one is mu favorite, for heavy work, I have special heavy tools, but for EDC,....the BEST..
I'm glad it works for you
Oddly enough, yours is the 1st review I've seen that wasn't super positive (out of MANY that I've watched), so I guess we found different reviews. Glad I found yours though because I had this ready to buy, and now I am reconsidering. Thanks!
This tool is by far the best compromise between size and utility have I owned, sure I have a Leatherman that beats it but it weighs twice as much and in the UK it isn't legal carry. I modified this easily to prevent the blades locking so I comply with UK laws.
Is it a major crime if you carry a locking knife? Most US states have actually decreased the amount of knife laws. Automatic's/Switchblades are now legal in most places.
@@paintballjunkie65 I am one of literally dozens of people on the internet who do not live in the USA
How did you legalize it bud?,im in the uk and looking at getting a powerpint
@@bigrockets68 With a small file, I filed off the locking detent from the blades until they would no longer lock. My only slight concern is whether I should file off all the detents from the tools that are not bladed.
Only reason ide do the blade is i live in the uk,no point doing the tools imo,looking at the leatherman bond but dont like the fact the blade can pop out
Got one today and overall am pleased with it. I already have a Leatherman wave + and a surge with bit kit and ratcheting driver, the wave in a Vanquest edcm huge maximizer, the surge in a Trident 21. Both are too large and heavy to carry on my person. I've carried a little Gerber dime for a few years and its worked fine for light duty tasks, the package opener probably gets the most use, used it today to get the Powerpint out of the blister package. My biggest complaint with the SOG is that it doesn't have a flat head screwdriver, a huge omission imo. I guess I could just keep a flat head bit in the Powerpint's magnetic bit holder. I really like the size of the SOG and that it has a pocket clip. If it had storage for even one two sided bit, I'd rank it very high.
It’s easy to make a flathead screwdriver by turning it out of a file, which is what I did.
exactly, with just a little imagination you can use just about any one of the tools located on the outside as a full sized screw driver. I prefer the mini screw driver they give us tho and is one of the tools i use the most as it is so versatile especially when some precision work needs to be done
It's just fine for me, I know it's not perfect but I liked it.price is just right and light in my pocket.
Most of the time bad scissors are a result of loose blades, whom are not making enough friction against each other. You can bend them inwards a little and it will probably work well.
I know this is an older vid, but if you are still looking for the best combo, add a P-38 can opener to micra or squirt.
Good call!
I use the Charge plus while at work. Carry it in a Yellow Birch leather pouch on my belt. When not at work. I carry a leatherman skeletool CX along with Victoronox Classic SD and a P38 on my keyring. This is easy carry and I can accomplish all needed tasksl that come my way. I hate cheap blade steels. The 154 CM blade steel in these products does an excellent job
I bought one for my 10 year old daughter. It seems like a well made multitool. I did see some bad reviews on the can opener. One guy actually got a defective tool, where part of the can opener tool was misssing. The can opener on the one i received is in good shape, but it's definitely not sharp. I'm honestly not sure how sharp a can opener needs to be. My old Leatherman Wave and stabdard Victorinix Swiss Army knives always worked fine. I suppose if it's too dull to open a can, ill just take a file to it. Ny larger concern is that the can opener tool doesn't seem very robust. Of all thetools you need to be oversized and strong, the can opener is the one.
I think they must have updated it, because the one I purchased has a sharpened can opener. I have not tried it, but it is sharp.
Thanks for the review. I am looking to buy one of these because I dont have any good tools with me because all of them are WAY too big for pocket carry, and where I live it's not viable to carry anything in a carry pouch or anything like that, it just looks weird and everybody keeps starring at you, wish for me is a no go, so I end up carrying it in my backpack, wish I try as much as possible not to carry because it's way too big and heavy with the laptop. So yeah, a pint sized multitool would be excellent for me. And by your review I can see that any problems with it are easily fixed by the user. My main concern was of fit and finish, that tools would jam or unlock easily. Since it's more about the grind of the edges, one can deal with it (although I agree that it should come ready out of the box)
I’d recommend trying to carry the small knipex pliers. I had a similar conundrum for a while and love the combo of a pair of super small knipex pliers plus the SAK. As a bonus, the pliers are way more useful IMO than even the biggest multitool pliers. Not needing the pliers off a multitool really expands the options.
That's an interesting idea that I never would have thought of. I've heard that Knipex pliers are good. Kind of expensive though.
@@KnifeThoughts They’re a bit expensive as pliers go but not that bad when you think about them relative to a lot of other EDC gear - all in the perspective I guess. I have no doubt they’ll take a lot more abuse and last a lot longer than a multitool.
@@KnifeThoughts Knipex may be a little expensive and once you get a pair it shows. Solid tools that last, I've had one pair for 20 years that that work as well as my newer ones. Definitely my first choice for any pliers.
It weighs 4.2 ounces and is 3.2 inches long and has 18 tools. Am I missing something here? That is terrific for something that size. The geared pliers are excellent engineering for great leverage.
I got this guy week ago. My thoughts:
- scissors not work.
- package opener not works. I tried to sharpen it and it works much better - i mean it started to work, but i still dont like it.
- they call it philips screwdriver,but its a piece of junk screwdriver. Vic's philips work with really tiny screws, e.g. watch or glasses, this one is just for normal size screws. Its more roundy, not sharp edged.
Generally i agree with all your thoughts from this reviev. anyway i will keep it in backpack.
There's this thing called victorinox cybertool M. One of my favorite victorinox behind the compact, and manager.
Totally agree. I have the CyberTool 41 & its Awesome
I think u got a bad one , I got same thing and each tool gets out by it self maybe you gotta grease it up with some quality grease maybe like gun grease?? That’s wh as t I used Lukas gun lubricant
Interesting mate. Might get one anyway.... Just fancy something in that size.. Besides if I don't like it it can join a pile of knives that don't come out much. Can always leave in car as back up back! Thanks again mate.
Get it. I have one & absolutely love it.
My uncle sent me a Sog multitool when I was in the Navy, and I used it a lot. Back then it didnt have a name, but its equivalent to todays Master Mechanic. Since I left the Navy every job I've ever had has given me a full set of tools so dont use it much any more.
Shame Sog has gone downhill.
This tool is the best ! You know it bro ! You whining too much !!
Yeah how dare I expect the tools to actually work
@@KnifeThoughts yea man thanks for the review, I think it’s a great compact way to carry full size pliers in a smaller package
Thank you for this. Guess I'll wait till leatherman makes this size of a tool. Wish they'd do it soon we need a mini p2/p4 or a t4 plier version.
I own a free p4, t4 and skeletool so I just know I'd end up disliking the quality of this Lil guy.
Dude, you seem to have an obsession with can-openers... Am I missing something?! 😅😀
The Victorinox Deluxe Tinker has a pliers, and it's just four layer, so smaller and lighter than your full-size Leatherman.
The difference in pliers between SAK and powerpint is absolutely huge though - if you want a pliers based multitools the SAK really won't cut it, Even compared to the squirt ps4
I guess it all comes down to personal preference but in my mind nothing will stand up to a leatherman for straightforward function and unparalleled quality. Gerber mostly living off the name but does have some products that have a place in the market and that I have or would buy. Sog has a few unique engineering functions that can add a lot of value to some people looking to spend less and have a tolerance for a potentially really good tool that could be a dud because of quality control. It’s just the nature of manufacturing in that part of the world quantity over quality but they have come a long way in the last 20 years.
I want and need this because i am small and have small hands. Plus it it small and compact. Less dangerous because small knives.
👍🏻
Just pick up a p52 can opener. Then you can carry any tool you want and the p52 with slip into any pocket or sheath with the multi tool
Thanks, my edc is a sak. I use the awl a lot, it’s perfect. Yet I only miss the pliers and the bits (intriguing option) I’m sure that this tool can be great after good mods.
Great idea, pour quality materials and manufacturing.
File , scissors and many others are useless..
I'm disappointed on sog
i doubt there is a more edc_able quality multitool out there. i used Swisstool with ratchet and now black&silver Surge with all the upgrades i needed, saw blades, bits, ratchet driver. in my country you cant have any blade in public. when is cold outside i carry it with no concerns but in the summer i struggle to conceal it. this SOG looks very good and probably its the best edc multitool for city. i would buy it in a second but i need a woodsaw as much as i need a blade and scissors...
very nice review, thank you. some people say you are whining but i feel your concerns. on my Swisstool when i opened the blade, the big screwdriver opened too and drived me crazy. i payed alot for it and that should not happened.
Sorry you can’t have a knife
Victorinox has the #1 can opener. Shit is important.
I agree
Nothing but nothing beats victorinox and Leatherman for multi tools.
Sorry to say bud, but most your criticisms are easily fixed with a diamond stone. Second to that the price point for what it is ?
You have helped me tremendously though. As want a small going out MT for when in nice clothes 🤣 was a mix between this and squirt.
Being me I want everything possible so guess it will be this. As my surge just gets way to heavy for going out cloths.
Dude completely misunderstood the purpose of this tool. It’s not intended to fix your nuclear reactor on your Ohio class submarine. It’s meant to get you out of a bind. And for that it’s pretty close to perfect. If you’re opening cans everyday, you need a proper can opener. If you’re a smoker, you carry a lighter, not a flint kit. For the size/price/tool set, you really can’t beat it. The only negative is, it lacks a large flat head screwdriver. Most people will grind down the tip of bottle opener to make a screwdriver. The tiny flat head included is just too small for the average screw.
😉
Saddest rhing about it is it is a GREAT design just p.poor execution - could have been a contender that KO'd Leatherman but instead it's a gimmick BAH
Thank you from keeping me from buying this cool looking but not so functional tool. Ive never carried a multitool but i keep looking with the hope that one day ill finally find one. Until then ill just keep with my spyderco police.
If you want a small light tool, get the juice s2
I just tell it like I see it
hi sorry, where can i find the powerpint, maybe the black version?
Good stuff man. Thanks
I have a leatherman wave plus and I’m not using it for tough jobs and I’m also not a heavy user of it. Is it better to have a sog powerpint instead? Or should I keep both of them?😂
I got rid of my PowerPint
@@KnifeThoughts Why? And what multi tool do you use daily or carry mostly?
I feel like every single Leatherman does not have the combo of the tools I want. Unless you get the way too big one. They always waste space with the leather awl. Give me scissors!
The old PSTii has a good mix of tools, if you can get one.
I find the awl very useful.
Yeah give me scissors!!!
I love multitools but still find myself carrying my little pouch with knipex mini cobras
You’re the second person who’s recommended them
@@KnifeThoughts you loose the wire cutting but im a mechanical engineer so its nuts and bolts for me. And where a multitool like skips the flats. the knipex they grip amazingly well.
@@KnifeThoughts If you don't want to lose the wire cutting you can pair the knipex 08 21 145. They can tighten/loosen bolts up to like 17mm pretty well, and I've cut cleanely through 0 gauge wire with them (with a lot of effort), but it's possible; good luck doing that with multitool pliers. They also only weigh 4oz. They are literally the best needle nose pliers you will ever use.
I’m currently a Victorinox guy, but I’m slowly starting to feel the need for a pair of pliers. My Vic has a wood saw and scissors- plus other tools I’m less interested in- which I use for pruning in the garden. But the other tools do come in handy in various ways, so eeeeevery once in a while I find myself wishing it had other functions. But I’m very much a miniature, pocket-carry EDC kind of guy. My primary knife is a Spyderco Dragonfly 2. My flashlight is an Olight Baton 2. I have my Vic as my MT.
If you could recommend any other small pliers that are bigger than a Squirt but still function well, what would you suggest?
I've been down the multi tool road, still looking for the ultimate combo for my uses. I really think I'm going to tool bash a few and make a quality blade in Cruwear or 3V to make it a trye one tool user . It's always little things like you talked about that make a tool disappointing.
Check out a Leatherman Charge+ nice 154CM blade,gut hook blade, diamond cut file etc. Really like mine, not to be confused with the bloated tti.
@@sevenin1 i own both the charge plus and the charge plus tti, the tti is literally only 1mm thicker and exactly the same in every other dimension... it feels exactly the same in the hand and pocket...
I so so so badly want a plier based multi-tool, pocketable with pocket clip, to pair with a SAK. I know there will be some redundancy, and I can live with that, just give me more options in this form factor.
Leatherman Skeletool?
@@FrankTerranova1 I have 5 Leathermans. The Skeletool is the worse one
For size and weight, the Rev is much better. IMO
Cheers
Thanks for the decent review.
How much did you pay?
Why not mention it?
Its currently ~$50 6/1/22.
What are the constraints in size and weight of your muktitool?
Given the state of the EDC world, your target seems unrealistic. Some people do the Altoids tin thing. Too small for me. But Dime, Squirt, Micra or Minichamp could work I think some SAKs do fit. Saw somebody remove scales to make his SAK fit.
For some people it's the pocket thing. Get pocket organizers.Get a Scottevest. Gets heavy.
I advocate developing a robust and scalable EDC System.

Leatherman had a better option with its C & CS Juice series but its now obsolete. But nothing locked. Small pliers were limited.
I think you are on the right track but will a good manfacturer make a High Quality Small Multitool? A Juiced up Juice CS4 or XE6?
Checkout Swiss Army Evo S557.
Otherwise throw in the towel and carry an SAK in your pocket and a fullsize Multitool in your shoulder bag or backpack.
Had a colleague former Israeli mikitary who schlepped a 30-40 lb backback everywhere he want. The dude was prepared for everything short of an space invasion. Even then he would survive.
I keep micra and style ps in my altoids. I use them almost every day. Plenty of room for other stuff, ad well
does that also mean we should listen to the people saying don't listen to random youtubers doing reviews? Love my powerpint. I have leathermans, gerbers, clones, I wish I had not believed the reviews early on and got the sog powerpint.
Believe what you like
Actually just made it to end of review... Probably won't get it then. No point wasting money. Lots of better knives to buy.
For being a small multi tool and price point. You sure do complain for what it is. Just sayin.
I like things to work
seems like this would be really great if the tools were made better.
For sure!
great content , it looks fab shame there is no spring for the plyers , squirt all the way , boom boom
Thanks for watching!
I have an power assist, tbh the lack of springs was never a problem for me, even with normal pliers I use my index finger to act as the "spring"
My Wenger Journeyman has a reasonable pliers, and the Vic Mechanic has them too.
I’ll check them oit
My Boatsman has pliers. But the tool is quite big and bulky. The marlin spike is the best part of the boatsman. IMO
@@MasterYoist Those are some serious pliers, that model is more like a multitool than a pocketknife.
You could just bought a keychain can opener if that was really your problem.
I hawe seen a lot of hate on those scissors. In my opinion, its Made well functioning, bad badly placed. If you Just grab and use it, you Will in most cases push them in bad direction and thus its not working. Its small design flaw that can be overcome easily in my opinion, Just push with your thumb more from the clip side.
Iv carried a juice cs4.fir years...I don't think there is a better non work multitool
Yup.....juice s2 here......juice is outstanding without the ridiculous bulk
How in the world was the juice s2 discontinued? I can't fathom it
"Who is John Galt?"
Consider a leatherman juice s2 or the victorinox spirit x or the spirit mx with one handed opening blade and a pocket clip. Has everything u need and the quality. And pretty light weight. Plus victorinox Beats leatherman any day! If u want a relatively edc friendly plied based multitool then look no further than a victorinox full sized multitool. Even the tinker delux has got pliers in a relatively small package tho it’s a little thick for my needs but for me the Swiss tool spirit x is the ideal multitool out there for my needs 🙏🏾
And if u need a serrated blade, the victorinox mxbs is also an option but quite hard to come by
They're discontinued I think
I don’t get people complaining about opening edge tools and it pulling other tools open staggered that need to be pushed back in with the easiest of efforts. This is done by design because of compact nature. These same people would really be complaining if it wasn’t engineered that way and they couldn’t get the inner tools out. Hahahaha.
I must be missing a TRUE EDC case
Huh?
I feel like in theory this would pair with the Victorinox Rambler or Victorinox Compact really well. They each complement each other well in terms of strengths and weaknesses.
that is quite a lot of complaints lol
I was messing around with mine and got all the tools stuck open on the side with the knife. Do you no how to close it?
Nope. WD 40 might help. And unlocking them.
Leatherman are for kids, this SOG are for real men
Don't use the Squirt blades to open cans ! Damn ! Just carry a P38 FFS !
The pliers break and they don't have replacement
Damn , is there anything you like about this tool,, atleast got to be one 🤔
I like the size
Victorinox mechanic and Deluxe Tinker have pliers. Regards from Switzerland
Check out the Victorinox deluxe tinker .
Classic
Larry, I have the Vic Deluxe Tinker. A great knife and tool set, but the toy pliers are of very limited use.
Sounds like you really like can openers and using pliers to work on hairs?…
I do I love it
Multi tools like anything else are personal preference people choose what works for them. This just isn’t the tool for you sir
leatherman curl
The cutting hook it’s for seatbelts in case of an emergency
To be honest, that geometry is not very good for that, the seat belt can easily bundle while cutting. The ones on the full-size multitool of sog, or the one in the dedicated seat belt cutter by OMP are the correct ones, it's 2 razor blades meeting, kinda like a scissor
I really think it's more for string or zip ties etc. There's no way that thing is going to cut any type of belt

@@flamuradili in fairness, it is a review..... Of can openers on multitools.
Try Gerber mp400 sport
Gerber has the worst quality and too gimicky. Still to see a Gerber scissor that cuts more than a cheeto.
These "tools" or EDC pieces of crap are just toys/gadgets for people like us who think they'll look cool to themselves once they finally get the chance to use them. Normal people have proper kitchen can openers in their own kitchen or even just leave one at work if the office kitchen doesn't have one already. Come on, these "tools" are only meant to be used when you're camping or fighting at the front... Or you're an outdoor / construction worker who has no vehicle nor toolbox, which is possible though...maybe?
Same thing with top of the line heavy duty multi tools. Real "workers" use proper specific tools.
I try hard to look for stuff to fix around me, at home, my kids' bikes, my motorcycle... there was not a single time I wished I had a specific tool in my pocket... I'm a lousy handyman, and have really basic tools at hand, but I got everything I need in traditional tool factor and I prefer use them than my Swisstool, Powerpint or any other MT...
Actually, all these were made for kids or teens. When you like to fiddle with things in your room or outside, exploring activities, and you don't need "real" tools. I've never played more with my SAK than when I was between 10 and 16 y-o.
Hell yeah brother
you could sharpen the can opener.
I did. Ended up giving it away. I just think it should come sharpened.
Or just leave a can opener in work
Dude I can totally open the knives with 1 hand and even close them with some practice, so a few minutes in your review and you're already wrong! Of course a Leatherman is a lot better (I've been daily driving a Wave for 16 years) but I've bought this one for when I travel by air or when I don't have a lot of space. Also leatherman has nothing in this size even the skeletool is bigger and doesn't have the amount of tools this has. I have about 30 multitools/swissarmy knives and I still find a time/place to use/carry this too sometimes!
Awesome!
This tool sucked so bad I’m just not gonna buy anything SOG again lmao
You waisted 16 mins. Just say its not functioning🤣
That doesn’t sound like a very engaging video
nah mate
👍🏻
sharpen it lol
What is "sharpen"?
I succumbed to one of these for the interesting design and it’s unique geared pliers, but it’s actually so poorly executed I dont carry it, or even use it. So sadly, it’s my first, and last SOG product.
IMO….j-u-n-k.
Yep I avoid them now too
Summary : Clever pliers, substandard badly designed tools.
Conclusion : Typical SOG
Cheers 👍
You should have done the whole review in a whiney voice it would have fit the review better.
