I bought this SOG, but I quickly returned it without testing so I wouldn't have to return the product after use. What made me return it was mainly the fact that the blade is small and looks more like a letter opener than a full-size knife (though it's better to have this than nothing). Also, I was disappointed by the tool unlocking mechanism, which works hard and doesn't allow the knife to be folded with one hand, which I expected. In terms of appearance, the multitool looks very good, and I really like the stonewash finish. However, at the same price, you can buy a Leatherman Rebar, which I also have and I think is definitely better. If this SOG cost half as much, it would be a great choice.
A robust multitool equipped with 18 tools. The operation of the combos is based on the patented Compound Leverage mechanism, which, with the help of gears, improves and strengthens their operation, allowing one-handed operation.
The tool's skeleton is made of 5Cr15MoV stainless steel and heat-treated to give optimal hardness and strength. It was coated with a black coating to protect it from corrosion and eliminate unwanted glare.
The model features a magnetic hexagonal bit holder, located in the center of the tool. In addition, the Multitool is equipped with a clip with the manufacturer's logo, allowing you to conveniently carry it in your pants pocket or clipped to your belt.

MILITARY is a distributor of SOG.
SOG is an American brand founded in 1986 by Spencer Frazer, inspired by the equipment of special units from the Vietnam War era. Its first design was created in cooperation with Japanese master bladesmith Ichiro Hattori and became a permanent part of tactical gear history. SOG gained wide recognition thanks to the SEAL 2000 model, adopted by the Navy SEALs and now displayed in that unit’s museum in Fort Pierce. The brand’s range includes, among other things, advanced multitools using the patented Compound Leverage technology, which nearly doubles gripping force through the use of double pivot points. SOG products stand out for their solidity, reliability, and precise workmanship.

After a month of use, I am very satisfied. Both the workmanship and the selection of tools fully meet my expectations. At this price, it is probably the best value on the market.

Great multitool. It has a convenient pliers opening system and gives you the option to use it as a screwdriver with an interchangeable bit. It's an interesting alternative to Leatherman, matching it in quality and functionality.

The pliers open very smoothly, you can easily do it with one hand. The tools included in the set are well chosen, making it a very versatile tool.
