Best SOG multitool in a long time Resolves previous Poweraccess/Powerlock issues Titanium clip holds up well Smooth and fun compound leverage Convenient external centered bit driver Large crusher crimps excellently Solid and reassuring lock mechanism Folded steel design may be compromised
- The PowerAccess Assist MT is the best multitool SOG have put out in ages. It fixes pretty much every issue I had with the Poweraccess/Powerlock, but is there a way to add scissors to it?
