Review for model:

I bought this multitool out of curiosity. It's a nice, small gadget, but it also has some drawbacks. I'll start with the advantages: above all, it's very small and light, which makes it suitable for everyday carrying. It's one of the few multitools equipped with a corkscrew, which can be seen as both a plus and a minus, but I'll come back to the downsides later. The tool-opening mechanism works smoothly, which is a plus. Despite its small size, the Phillips screwdriver works well and is comfortable to use. The blade, although seemingly clunky, is sharp enough. The bit holder with the lock is a great idea, especially since it secures the bit well. The stonewash finish is also a plus. The downsides include the cutter for ropes, belts, or cords – it's just dull, and it's difficult to pull out other tools except for the knife. Even though access to the scissors seems simple, in practice they're hard to take out. There's also no full-sized flat screwdriver – just a very small one for glasses or jewelry. You can try to use part of the rope cutter as a flathead screwdriver, but it won't be aligned. The previously mentioned corkscrew is a downside because it negatively affects the comfort of using the tool. In summary, it's a better option than some small multitools, but if someone is thinking about a larger Leatherman or Victorinox, the SOG definitely falls short. On sale, it might still be worth it, but at the regular price, in my opinion, it's not worth buying.

I have always liked Leatherman multitools, but this model really pleasantly surprised me. It is compact and lightweight, yet equipped with many practical functions, carefully crafted pliers, a blade lock, a slot for bits, and a very cleverly designed bottle opener. Additionally, all tools are lockable!
