POWERACCESS ASSIST

This is a nice multitool that is sturdy and hefty weighted, which I believe is SOG's answer to the Leatherman Surge. The material is a black oxide stainless steel metal that is sure enough to hold up against the elements. There are 21 included tools total; blade, package opener/seat belt cutter, serrated blade, awl with sewing hole, magnetic bit driver, chisel, inch/cm ruler, wire crimper, bottle opener, and many more. This tool is very versatile for a handful of tasks. Another plus side of this tool is that it is a operates as a one handed opening mechanism. You swing it a certain way and the pliers are ready to go. All the main tools are located on the outside portion, so you don't need to open the pliers fully to access them, such as a Leatherman or Gerber. The price point of this item is phenomenal on here, since it saved me about $40 compared to SOGs main website. If you need something strong and realible, but are on a budget, pick this; this is still a great quality tool

Full disclosure, I’ve been using SOG multitools ever since I went through Special Forces Engineer school long ago. So I’m absolutely a fan. These are the toughest multitools I’ve ever personally used. I especially like the gear driven compound action pliers; almost like having a vice grip. This one improves on the original with the one hand opening blades, which is greatly appreciated. It’s certainly not a compact or lightweight tool, but it carries easily on a belt or in a cargo pocket. Not cheap but solid quality.

Love it

I have had multi-tools from a variety of companies, Leatherman, Gerber, and even older SOG units. This one is definitely my favorite. The power assist feature is absolutely worth it. I can one hand flip open the straight edge knife as well as the serrated. Keep in mind though, those two tools can only be flipped open with one hand, in your right hand. If you have the tool in your left hand, the two saws are flippable with power assist. The tools in the middle come out nice and easy, not overly tight like some others. Most of the middle tools are pretty standard affair, but the 1/4 drive socket head is the real star. Insanely handy. I LOVE the SOG pliers. They have the geared mechanism that makes it a force multiplier vs standard plies. Really genius. When the pliers are folded up, there is also a hex driver hole, and there is a little magnet in there that keeps the bit retained. Works great with the included bits, as well as other bits I have tried. The cutters seem great, and the crimper is a nice bonus, I have actually used those much more than I thought I would. All in all, I love this unit. It's big but still easily pocketable. Checks all the right boxes. Plus a lifetime warranty!

when I tell you i was hesitant on spending this kind of money on a multi tool, I'm not joking. I'm so very glad my hopes were not dashed with the quality of this thing. I use this multi tool every day at work (Im a welder). it has been dropped, stepped on, run over, you name it... and this thing is still smooth as butter. opens and closes perfectly; nice little *snick* every time the locking mechanism engages the tool you use. I love that I can open and close this thing with one hand. it fits in my pocket, and is honestly the first thing I reach for if I don't have exactly what I need at hand. I would say this is a perfect tool for the price I paid, and it exceeds my expectations in every way. it is quite functional in every way I could ask of it. it still surprises me what this multi-tool can be used for.

This really is a good product. The SOG Poweraccess Assit MT is very sturdy and useful for many jobs. The metal finish is tough and durable. All the tools are well designed. The knife is VERY sharp. I really like the fact that when it is closed, it will hold any Apex hex bit in what turns out to be the back side of the pliers (and the hex receptical is magnetic). There is also a 1/4" socket drive tool. It comes with a set of Abex hex bits and a magnetic 1/4" square to 1/4" hex bit adapter. This makes this multi tool the most versatile I've ever used. If the included set doesn't have a bit you need, you can use any 1/4" hex bit you want. You're not limited to the included set. It is even possible to get replacement/additional tools and swap them out. It is a fiddly process, but if you have some mechanical aptitude and manual coordination, it shouldn't be too hard. However, in my case the first multi-tool I received was defective. Amazon's customer service was right on top of it and exchanged the product. I had the replacement the next day! The replacement was fine, hence the 5 stars. I really do like this multi-tool. I realize stuff happens in manufacturing and sometimes things slip through, but between SOG and Amazon, they made things right. Great Job Amazon Customer Service and SOG!!

Absolutely perfect

SOG is a company I really want to like. They're innovative and they do make some great multitools. In the end though, it's always their quality control - or lack thereof - that gets them. This tool was a case in point: I love almost everything about it. But while I can open the knife one-handed (with some difficulty), there's nothing suggesting any kind of 'assist' action going on. My non-assist Wave knife opens a lot easier. As usual, SOG gets you 90% of the way there, but then that bad Q.C. strikes again. It's not a show stopper; it's still an excellent multitool overall. It's just...disappointing. Maybe it'll loosen up with time. Still, if assisted opening is going to be the bragging point, that ought to at least work right out of the factory.

Pros : Love the smooth action of the pliers! (And the package for the price - value for money). The pliers, although with a fine tip, seems solid. Nice kit (considering the bits are included). Impressed with how sharp the blades are. Time will tell how well the 5Cr15MoV steel will hold up. The stonewash looks really good. General finishing is good (at least the unit I got). Cons : Stiff "assist" out of the box, really have to work it. I found loosening the fasteners ever so slightly helps. Would have preferred a file and scissors though... With all the drivers and the seat belt cutter it should be possible. Looking forward to future iterations. Bottom line, great value for money. (I also own a Victorinox Swiss Tool Spirit X and a Leatherman Super Tool 300)

I received a defekt multi tool The assist is not working, also the build quality is subpar, or maybe I'm not writing it right. I expected it to be top quality tool. Still hoping to get a reply from the seller. Thank you

I'm a big fan of SOG and got this tool to "complete the collection" along with the PowerLock and PowerAssist multitools. Unfortunately I have to conclude that this is not the best SOG design. The tool is first of all too bulky and not comfortable to hold after deploying the pliers. The tools/blades opening mechanism it's not easy to operate and sometimes also other tools are turning when you for example want to only open the blade. Sorry I had to return it
