Love it, but…

So today I received my powerpint, what pain to get one but I know it’s because of covid. After shipping and importing it to my country I finally received it. Overall I’m very impressed with the size, I know it’s not meant to do some tough stuff and honestly I don’t intend to. Size is amazing, super lightweight, looks cool and it has a pocket clip which I love. Definitely packs a lot of tools for the size and price. BUT I’ve never had a new knife or tool which came with so little edge on the blade. I sharpened it and I don’t expect it to last very long but it’s easy to sharpen, but come on I expected a decent sharpened edge when buying a NEW product. Other than that I like it very much.
I do like the tool, but I believe it could have been way better with a bit more effort on SOG's part! Pliers are the high point and up to most small tasks. I find the fit and finish below par. Make the tool 20% larger, put it together like you cared, get rid of the useless inbound screw drivers (both of them) for normal sized screwdrivers. Blades could be stronger and resist flex more. Better steel quality would go a long way to cornering the market with this tiny tool! I'd gladly pay another $10.-$15. to buy this in a premium material and finished tool!
I’ve had two of these loved the first one but lost it. Bought a second had it 2 weeks used the pliers one time and the little pins holding it together broke immediately not impressed at all. Very disappointed. Hopefully covered under the lifetime warranty seriously doubt it as the warranty has a lot of fine print. Will never buy again if not covered. What a joke.

Sorry for the trauma with this multi-tool. Shouldn't be a problem to warranty as long as the tool wasn't abused. Fill out a warranty claim or contact our customer service team and lets see if we can fix you up.
I love how efficiently SOG was able to pack a variety of tools into such a compact, easy to carry multitool. Having the compound leverage on something this small makes the pliers so much more useful.
The major drawback I had with the product (and SOG products in general) is that I had to return a handful of these and exchange them until I got one that didn't have workmanship defects.
