PowerPint (PP1001-CP)

Top notch multitool here. Compares directly against the Leatherman Juice. The SOG has better ergonomics, better tool layout, way easier to deploy the tools, and carries so easily. It's not as heavy duty as a Leatherman, but for medium duty tasks and quick, convenient stuff it's really hard to beat the SOG. It didn't replace my Wave or Skeletool in the collection, but it did kick everything out of rotation. That said, I wish it had a saw, the knife blade ducks like every other multitool knife, and I don't think I'll ever use the bit driver, but I'm glad it's there. One thing to note. You can not half open the pliers to like on a LM. If you're using the tools, you'll be gripping the square body of the frame. But it's extremely compact, roughly two bic lighters. Very happy, will definitely be purchasing again in the future.

Love love love! This is compact but very strong and useful. It has tools that you will actually use. The price is so much better than Leatherman and I think SOG is better quality personally. You don’t get a bunch of things you won’t use and it easily fits in your pocket or purse without taking up space.

Wish I could give 4.5 stars. Handy little tool you wont mind carrying in your pocket. Doesn't cost and arm and a leg. Pliers and tool selection is good and mostly useful. Scissors feel like they are junk, but are just awkward to use, but do cut every time. Knife is like plastic, does not hold an edge at all. Easy to sharpen, but retention is lacking. Not a deal breaker as I wasn't expecting miracles for my walking around pocket tool, but knife is just bad. Philips will most likely strip out more than it will actually turn, but I have used it a couple times without too much issue. The small size combined with the decent awl, pliers, file and scissors are what make this bearable. They are all good enough to justify it staying in my pocket with the pliers being a good bang for the small package.

I’ve carried this tool daily for almost a year and used it countless times. The size is perfect, not too big nor too small. The screwdriver bit holder is excellent. It has a magnet integrated into the socket and clamps down when you squeeze it. The tool doesn’t come with any bits. I ended up making a bit holder and sourcing a couple of philips and flatheads myself. It would be nice to have set of 4 common bits with a silicone or polymer holder either come with the tool or as an add-on. The pliers deploy smoothly as do the other tools. Most importantly the tools all lock in the open position and are easy to unlock when it comes time to close. The highlight of the tool is the pliers. The jaws form a tight enough mate to pull a single hair. When open, the grips are rounded off so they don’t cut your hand when squeezing tight. They are tough enough to pull staples from wood. The measuring tools (metric/imperial ruler & compass) are invaluable. The key ring tucks neatly out of the way and stays there. The pocket clip is perfectly sized to hold firmly to dress slack or jeans. Some tools can be challenging to extract. However, pulling the tool next to it to get it started does the trick. The small flat head isn’t the toughest as I have managed to bend it with a moderate amount of force. So, keep in mind it is a light to moderate duty tool. Lastly it has developed spots of light surface rust. Overall, it is a great tool with great value and I will buy it again.

Best Mini Multi-Tool I Own—Compact and Reliable The SOG PowerPint is an excellent mini multi-tool. Despite its compact size, it has 18 well-designed functions, including pliers, a pocket knife, and other essentials. The stainless steel build feels solid and durable, while still being lightweight enough for everyday carry. This is a very cool tool and easily the best mini multi-tool I own. I’ve collected several for myself and even gifted a few—they’ve all been a hit. Compact, reliable, and super handy to have on hand for everyday carry or small tasks.

Better than I expected! So I’m a knife guy and I make knives from time to time too. I also love multi tools. I have been buying and using multi tools for most of my life. This is my first SOG though. I held back for a while because of the steel they choose it’s not great for knives but it’s adequate with a really good heat treatment and it seems SOG got the most they could out of this cheaper steel. I think first I should list what I like and then the drawbacks. Pros: Good tool selection Nice pliers Light weight Compact for EDC Good value Seems tough and durable Rust resistant Cool looks All outside accessible tools! Except pliers Very easy to work it I like the options for color Cons: Not very wear resistant blade steel Lock mechanism takes time to get used to Knives didn’t come that sharp but I fixed that Some tools stick to each other Gritty action on the tools for the first week The bottle opener isn’t useful as a flat head unless you file off the little nail nick on the tip. Ultimately it’s worth the money and will be in my pocket a lot going forward. I recommend sharpening the knives when you get it and to add more functionality you can remove the nail tab from the bottle opener to get a flat head driver out of it. Also you can sharpen the tip of the cord/strap cutting hook to make it a nice package opener too. I also recommend oiling it when you get it to help it beak in good. Nice little pocket friendly tool!

Awesome multi tool! It has a great compact size with all the functionality of a full size leatherman. I usually carry a leatherman wave but I carry this SOG when I want to carry more compact. Great value and very lightweight and small. I love the SOG power pint!

Have a bunch of Leatherman, even with the lightest Skeletool, I at times look for a smaller package for EDC, didn’t really want to combine a Knipex and SAK so decided to try the SOG PowerPint. The size of the unit is great, and the implements are fine, I like the action of the pliers a lot, as well as the built-in hex bit holder. But this tool has a lot of tool marks everywhere, the pliers, back of the individual tools. Once I reminded myself of the cost difference, I looked past those cosmetic issues. And after I fitted magnets to keep the PP closed, I thought most of the issues were gone. However, it could just be my sample; some of the implements are off in that I have to help guide them when retracting, particularly with the scissors. Speaking of the scissors, while I have no high expectations and certainly not comparing to the SAK, the PP’s scissors are simply terrible, it almost felt like the cutting surface is not ever so slightly finished, totally gritty. I wanted to like this so badly as the size and functionality are very close to what I am looking for, but I have to say no in the end as I simply don’t like having to guide the individual implements back to rest.
