Wanted to give it some time before reviewing. The quick access to the blades are really nice. The pliers, which are the main reason for getting the SOG, are very usable (probably won’t go back to leatherman for this reason). The other tools are good, the Phillips is long and skinny enough to get down in the recessed holes of electric tool cases, wish it had a couple of regular slotted screw drivers, but that’s not necessary. The down sides, which are not deal breakers, are; the cover for the small tools came off, but I didn’t care for it anyway, the blade lock for the regular knife blade is a little stiff, the river for the sheath came out, but to be honest I might have snagged it on something because I work in a shop environment, I was able to put an aluminum pop rivet in and brad it down. Overall I really like the functionality of the tool. I use these everyday and this one is easily my favorite. Big enough to actually use and the tools I rely on are on it. Good knife with easy one hand access and great pliers that are easy to use.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I've got an older model that I've carried for a couple of years. I won't go anywhere without it.

Love this thing. The double locking blades are sweet. Bought my first Paratool in 1986. Replaced it with a Powerlock in 88,lost the Paratool after using it rip a windshield out of flipped burning vehicle. Still have it and the original leather sheath. Got this one to retire the old friend. Not so happy about thm being made in the PRC. Used to be Anerican made and each tool had SOG engraved in them, well the long ones anyway. Though I am pleased with the improved locking system. Do yourselves a favor and come back to America. For Pete's sake your named after the original Commie Gook Hunter-Killers
