largely unimpressed by the SOG powerplier

[Midget]

I handled an SOG powerplier today (sent to me by accident, instead of the SOG powerlock).

I am unimpressed.

Non-locking components.
"bite effect."
STIFF pivot action, (i thought this was one-hand opening via 'balisong' swing!?!)

I haven't used it, but it appears to be that the components were cheaply/poorly executed.


To it's defense, the plier head seems to be built very solid.

Hopefully, you'll like the PowerLock much better.

The pivot of the tool seems to loosen up over time, and I can flip mine open bali style quite easily.

Please let us know how you like the Powerlock once it arrives.
