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.

SOG Specialty Knives & Tools is an American brand that was founded in 1986 by Spencer Frazier, who was inspired by the historic MACV-SOG knife used by special forces during the Vietnam War. The first model, the S1 Bowie, was developed in collaboration with Japanese master blacksmith Ichiro Hattori and quickly gained iconic status among tactical knives. A breakthrough moment in the brand's history was the introduction of the SEAL 2000 knife to the Navy SEALs' equipment - this model can now be seen in the Navy SEALs museum in Fort Pierce. In addition to knives, SOG is also known for its advanced multitools, which use patented Compound Leverage technology - a double pivot system that almost doubles the cutting force of the pliers. The brand's products are distinguished by their solid construction and precision workmanship and are designed for both professional users and outdoor enthusiasts.

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.
