The Jaws of SOG's PowerAssist Multi-tool!



As an adventure filmmaker and animal enthusiast I spend a great deal of time in the field searching out some pretty bizarre creatures - like the Snapping Turtle, which is about as prehistoric looking as it gets!


I take a number of products into the field but nothing is more important than having a trusty multi-tool at my side.


SOG's PowerAssist Multi-tool is without a doubt the most important item on my belt. With 15 reliable tools that range from the SOG Assisted Technology (S.A.T) standard and serrated knife blades to screwdrivers, the V-cutter and much more... there isn't a challenge this tool can't handle!


When flipping open the tool for standard use you experience the precision of the heavy-duty plier capability and large wire cutters. All part of SOG's proprietary Compound Leverage technology that works by employing multiple pivot points which generate greater handle travel in relation to plier movement. The result is a leverage advantage of approximately twice the power of a conventional multi-tool, which makes every cut smoother and easier.


The only other thing on the planet I have encountered that has such perfect precision and cutting ability is the jaws of a Snapping Turtle!


Available in a black oxide or brilliant satin model, I prefer the black matte finish as it is specifically designed for low reflectivity which is always ideal when trying to stay camouflaged in any environment.


At a mere 9.6 oz and closed-up length of 4.6 in" it fits perfectly in the front pouch of the SOG Seal Pup sheath which when combined together are an adventurers perfect combo!


It truly is a beautiful tool and the team and I love using and photographing this product when out on adventure!


The PowerAssist has helped me out of a number of sticky situations...including getting a Choya Cactus out of my hand!


If you are in the market for a reliable and fully loaded Multi-tool this outdoor adventure season you won't go wrong with the PowerAssist.


For all of the awesome SOG products I use and photographs of this incredible gear in action, make sure to follow my adventures this summer!
