SOG PowerLitre Mini Utility Multi-Tool w/ 19 Lightweight Tools, Compact 5 Inch Long Utility Tool with Knife, Screwdriver, Hex Bit Holder, Stone Wash

Original Review (3 stars): I got this for Christmas and really loved it! Size is perfect for a fifth pocket and I always had it on me. The tools are pretty good except the flat screwdriver is a very thin one and bent when I turned a screw with pretty light pressure. The pliers were nice and smooth, and worked very well until I sheared the rivets that hold them together (see pic). Great while it lasted, but the bottom line is that it broke after two and a half months.Edit (5 stars): after the above review, Promark contacted me and not only sent a replacement, but partially refunded me for the trouble. That’s an easy 5 stars and I would absolutely buy from them again.

i own about 25 multitools some dating back to the 1980's and this tool is one of the best ones not only as a small one but it competes with some of the larger multitools. i wish it had a tweezer but i will add one myself. i saw somewhere that there is one that fits perfect but i forgot where i saw it. sorry. if u seek it out u will find. lastly, i added a flint and tinder to the corkscrew and it has worked out pretty well. u have to bend the corkscrew a bit and also fanagel the flint and tinder but once its in it will be there when/if u need it. it does not interfere with putting in your 5th pocket or using the tool.

I had several small multitools before like the Gerber Dime, Leatherman Style PS and others. I accidentally broke the Dime pliers before using very little force and I feel like the Style PS is also not robust enough for my daily routine. On the other hand, I also don't want to carry a full blown multitool on my pockets or belt, because of its size & weight.PROS:- SOG PowerLite is a multitool that is right in the middle of these 2 categories: its not small enough that it might break if you need to use a little bit of force and it's not large/heavy enough that is uncomfortable to carry in a pocket;- It has a variety of decent tools that are very useful including knife, scissors, pliers, a magnetic hex bit holder, a corkscrew, among others.CONS:- Poor quality control: I had to order a replacement for SOG PowerLite as the tool would display a gap when closed. The replacement also has this problem but the gap is smaller. As I don't have the patience required to ask for a replacement of the replacement, I'll keep it.- Did I mentioned poor quality control? Both tools were very greasy when taken out of the package. I had to clean them up to remove the oil that was all over the place. Not sure if this was intentional to prevent the tool from rust, but I didn't had to clean any of my Leatherman's and Gerber's.- The Awl: the needs of a Swiss Army soldier in 1890 are very different from a modern urban person that might carry this tool as part of their EDC. No one is carrying canvas, leather and cord on their person everyday for emergency repairs of let's say, a backpack or a shoe. Also, anyone considering a multitool for outdoor activities should carry a more robust and reliable full-sized multitool. The Awl should be replaced by something more useful based on modern urban needs;

I have the Leatherman Skeleton before and while it was beautifully crafted, it's not that useful for DIY around the house. For anything larger than that it's probably too large to carry around everyday. This SOG is a perfect balance between usability and compact size. It's not as pretty or have that nice click compare with Leatherman. But I ends up carrying this everyday and actually use it around the house.I also got a leather pocket to carry it along with the hex drivers. So this is my minimal set of tool that can do most of the task.

Pliers are great for the size and bit function is neat but all the other tools on it, especially the scissors are garbage. I had to bend my scissors for them to some what work.

The size is perfect for my watch-pocket on my jeans. The finish is a cool denim steel that is easy to keep clean. The function is pretty good. My only complaint is the lock is kind of a pain to deal with and feels flimsy. That aside, I'd recommend this to a friend.

I know perfectly well everything it doesn't do or what could be better, but I still give it 5 stars because it's exactly what I was looking for and I like it a lot.

Is what it says it is. Look at the tools and the weight and the folded dimensions. If it's what you're looking for, BUY IT.Reputable brand, great quality, & etc.
