SOG Powerlock vs Leatherman Charge: Charge's the Champ Part 1

PART 1 of 2 Here the the SOG Powerlock EOD Model B61 multi-tool (MT) goes up against my standard of measure for full-size MTs, the Leatherman Charge TTi. This one of course is my Cabelas special edition camo version. The Powerlock is the black oxide EOD version. In this 2-part series, Nutnfancy pits them against each other in terms of size, weight, ease of use, comfort, toughness, versatility and features, carry case, quality, and price. You guessed it: the Charge TTi (or the AL, ALX, Ti) wins in most but not all categories. The SOG Powerlock suffers from cumbersome handle covers, sympathetic and less elegant tool deployment, a ¼ driver with a finicky lock, a tiny chisel-ground pen knife blade, a less versatile and heavier sheath, and its 1.2 oz heavier. Thats not to say the SOG Powerlock is bad: it offers a lot of strength with its compound leverage cams, has faster deploying pliers, has good tool variety (including better scissors and a punch), can use ¼ sockets, and its a lot cheaper than the Leatherman Charge. But again the Charge just shines: take for instance its quick detachable and strong pocket clip that can truly turn it into an EDC (every day carry) pocket tool (albeit a 8.2 one!). At least as of now, its just hard to beat the speed, ease of use, excellent blades, outstanding sheath, weight efficiency, and bit versatility of the Leatherman Charge series and it again comes home as the champ in the comparison. Nutnfancy Likeability Scale for SOG Powerlock EOD: 5 ...

Advantages of a Hand Held Multi-tool

!±8± Advantages of a Hand Held Multi-tool

A portable hand held multi-tool allows the use of certain working devices compacted in a single device. It includes tools such as wrenches, pliers, screwdrivers and other cutting blades. A hand held multi-tool includes a handle that has a blade and can be rotated between close and open position. The tool implements are compacted in a locked engagement along with a handle by a cantilevered tool lock that is located on the handle. The blade has two locking recesses which are adapted to receive a locking member mounted on a cantilevered blade lock. These can extend along the handle in order for the blade to be secured in both closed and open position. This invention is directed towards the functionality of a knife and other various tools and blades.

A hand held multi-tool has its own great benefits as compared to an individual tool. Multiple individual tools could be very heavy to carry and they need to be secured in large tool kits. They can also be much unorganized which makes it a lot more difficult to find the right tool to accomplish a job. The multi-tool on the other hand is lighter in weight as compared to numerous individual tools. This single apparatus can equate to the functions of certain tools. It is also easy to carry and it can even fit in your pocket. Hand held multi-tools are very useful especially when you are out to travel in a remote location.

Multi-tools are now being offered by so many companies like Leatherman which is the founder of the very first multi-tool. This device comes in various models and with different tools. They also have unique styles and design that suits every preference. Some models have more tools as compared to the others. Most models looks like a knife where all the tools are folded inside, the other models are pliers and some in the form or credit cards. Hunting for a multi-tool can be quite a challenging job. However, there are a lot of stores that offers the best brands. Online shopping is one way of ensuring that you get the best quality of multi-tools.

Multi-tools are great for outdoors adventures. You can have all the tools that you need in a single hand held apparatus that is very handy and practical. It is difficult traveling away from home without anything to help you with simple chores. You can use a multi-tool to prepare food when you are out in woods. You do not need to bring large knifes and all other chopping materials. When you brought can goods with you, you can use the multi-tool since it has a can and bottle opener incorporated with it. This can also be used as a self-defense when you are being attacked by wild animals in the woods. In general, a multi-tool is like a survival kit compacted in a single hand held apparatus.
