This is an outstanding plier multitool that doesn't take up a lot of space. I broke the internal spring packing this in some checked luggage. Sent it to SOG hoping for a repair, and they sent a new tool out to me. I will never buy any other knife or multitool as long as SOG is around.
I haven't had to use the Switch for anything yet as I just got it yesterday. Overall quality and build is great, but I feel it was rushed and it could have been more if not one of the best multi-tools on the market. The pocket clip, is very flimsy as far as make. Not sure what steel its made of but a thicker stronger gauge would be perfect whereas the current spec has the potential to bend and lose its grip. So my only complaint beyond that is that I think it should have scissors, a saw, cord/seat belt cutter, either be merged with the Reactor with its assisted opening blade or one of its own, and a thicker, stronger blade steel. You'll thank me or want to hire me if you were to implement these concepts. I'd gladly pay $200+ for a multi-tool with all of that. And by the way, I bypassed Leatherman for you ladies and gents.
I have wanted one of these for a while and picked one up recently at a camping store on sale. I love the way it is laid out and the functionality of the pliers. I agree with others that it is a light duty tool, but I have not had any problems so far. The focus of this tool is the quick deploying pliers. It's nice to have the other tools as well. It's a little bulky for EDC pocket carry, but I have not had the pocket deployment problem that others have mentioned.
