Handy and Dandy

Had mine for a while now. Very quick and satisfying deployment: always gets a reaction from the people around you. All tools lock in place. Handsome pocket clip as opposed to a carrying case (plus for me).
Only issues I've had is that sometimes it will deploy while in your own pocket if you brush against something just right. Hasn't caused any problems, though. Also, at one point in time the pliers wouldn't lock all the way in place, but after a quick cleaning that issue was resolved.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought the original Switch Plier for the cool factor and then learned to love its function. Bought the current version after my first one got stolen and like is just as much. I find it to be a light- to medium-duty tool. Within its limits, it works great. And it's still cool.

Fantastic piece, one catch though...

I bought this 2 weeks ago, so I'm still breaking it in. I can't get over the flip out feature for the plyers. It's fast, sounds good, design looks great. Every tool on this piece is great and for the price along with life time warranty sweetins the deal. Two quams though, the push button is usually triggered when I'm sitting and depends where it is situated on me, it can open. This could probably be fixed with a case, which did not come with the original package. The other issue being that certain tools such as flat screen driver or Philips screw driver can't fit past the closed needle nose pliers in it's closed position. Requires the pliers to be opened to put the other tools away. The tool is rated as heavy grade, but I find it's best for light jobs with it's quick deployment. I would recommend it.

Overall a great tool. Easy to use. It's a great tool to operate with one hand when the other one is busy. Pull it out of your pocket, press the botton, then bam you got some pliars in your hand.

Broken again

I received the first one about 9 months ago and one of the claws sheared off and was launched by the spring assembly while using them. SOG replaced them and about two months into that the spring assembly broke on that one. I have not requested a replacement for the item this time as I do not believe it is the right tool for me.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Sub-Par

I bought this a month ago and at first was pleased with it. However if you try to put any decent amount of force on the pliers the spring mechanism trips and renders this practically useless. SOG sent a replacement and fresh out of the box the new one does the same thing.

Not tested well

I bought this tool about 3 days ago. VERY first time I used it the hinge broke. Was very surprised by this because I own a few power locks and have NEVER had an issue with anything on them. I didn't expect it to perform like a powerlock, but with the amount of pressure I put on it, I think my 5 year old daughter could have broke it. Although this is a very nice looking and feeling tool, the pliers are not what I expected from SOG. I still love my power locks but this may shy me away from new products. It appears to me that this issue is something that should have absolutely been found and fixed during testing.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
