I have carried a multi-tool for many, many (30+?) years, in both military and civilian life. At the time, there were two primary choices, Gerber and Leatherman. I never did like the Leatherman inside-out handles, they dug into my hand when in use. Therefore, the Gerber. I have two Gerbers, both “sliders” (vs “butterfly”), both early versions. One is a blunt-nosed pliers, with button hex-head screws for the slide mechanism. The other is a “needle” nosed pliers, with flat rivets for the slide mechanism, and no locks for the knives and file.
Gerber has an excellent lifetime warranty against breakage on their multitools, and I have had several opportunities to put that warranty to the test, due to my abuse and misuse of several of the tools. Gerber does not disappoint. Really, knives and files are NOT meant to be used as heavy pry bars.
Like you, there is never a day goes by that I don’t pull out my Gerber for SOME use or another. I’d just as soon run out of the house without shoes than run out without my Gerber.
Thank you.
To say that you “wish the cell phone had never been invented” because of the number of lives lost due to people texting and driving does not even pay the slightest reverence to multitudes that were saved because of timely notification of emergency services during the onset of an acute medical condition of other emergency situation.
It also sounds a lot like the liberal argument against guns, think of all the lives lost to gangsters with guns. Maybe if they’d never been invented those deaths wouldn’t have happened.
I’ve owned a number of different multi-tools. I really liked the Leatherman Wave. That is until the SOG Power Assist multi-tool came along. I ordered it in black and added the wire stripper attachment. Wow, this is in a league of its own far above the older multi-tools. Yes, the knife is sharp. One of the best features is the gearing that multiplies the power you can apply with the needle nose pliers. It’s a very high-quality tool.
Thank you Mike!
The design of the flip open multitools is inherently weak(during hard use it will bend/fail). The Gerber design is far superior and the tools can be interchanged on some models. Blades and tools do lock on these but not on the flip style.
I have and use several multitools, SOG, Leatherman and Gerber. I have one for EDC, one on my Vest/body armor and another on my hiking gunbelt. You would be surprised how often they get used. Indispensible for sure !!!!!
What happened with this Powergrab tool? I can not find on sogknives.com anymore and somehow there were not a normal review on youtube about it. Is it a dead product now?
It’s been discontinued due to QC issues with manufacturing and sales.
