The PowerAssist shares the PowerLock's 272 g frame and 117 mm closed length but trades four functions for two spring-assisted blades, one straight and one fully serrated, both reachable with the tool folded. Tool count is 16 in 420 stainless at Rc 51-53, and the set includes a V-cutter and blasting cap crimper alongside the Compound Leverage pliers.
