PowerAccess
The base PowerAccess is 167 g and 104 mm closed, with 18 functions built on 5Cr15MoV. Its outward-opening components lock open and can be reached with the tool folded, and a centred magnetic 1/4-inch hex bit driver sits in the closed handle. SOG's own page describes the blade both as fully serrated and as a straight blade; both readings are recorded.
