SOG Switch Plier 2.0, Dust Black/Silver

I couldn't believe it the first time that I hit the button in this thing flew open. What a fantastic feature. I see a lot of room for some improvement in functionality overall as far as the smoothness and protection of the gears from possible drops and dirt.

Super handy tool! Love it and love showing it off!

I bought 2 of these as gifts, they were well received/

I bought the switch plier a month ago mainly to replace my aging flash MT which I use every day. The auto opening plier is a good feature. The deployment is great and function is good. The problem lies with the safety of blade deployment. The plier must be open to deploy the blade. But then you must close the plier which takes both hands. Both of which come close to or in direct contact with the blade. When you’re done using the blade, you have to switch the plier out again and reverse the process thus doubling your chances to cut a finger or hand. The multitool is well made and for occasional use, I’m sure it’d work fine, but I work with mine all day and can’t afford clumsy operation or the increased chance of an accident

Great tool! Only problem I got is the screw holding the tools in came out. And of course it fell out where I can't find it.

Haven't been able to use this in any significant way since it's a recent purchase, but it seems well thought out and stout. It's not much bulkier in the pocket than a large pocket knife, but is slightly heavier which is to be expected with all the hardware and price point .

Thought this was a novelty fidgety item. But in reality. It's a great mechanism with a solid strong plier. I have been using it for one month and enjoy it. Great to figet with and equally good to use. I highly recommend.

I have had mine for a long time, and I promised one to my grandson and could not find one. I was looking on the internet and saw them, so I went and bought 4 for each of my grandsons. Recently found out my youngest son and wife are having a baby boy so I will be buying another one soon. Great Multi Tool! Use is for general maintenance, as well as fishing and hunting. One hand operation is an advantage for doing many tasks!

I love this tool! I've used it for everything from pulling a splinter from my thumb to bushcraft and wrenching on a car. It has performed beautifully!

Switch plier , I needed a good multi tool , easy to use , and easy to get the tools out of the body in cold weather , I have used this tool for three years I work as an agricultural engineer , work on plant and axillary equipment , I carry it every day and use it on small jobs , I fail to see how you can break a multi tool of good quality , any multi tool is a light duty tool , it's for changing bulbs on a trailer , cutting cable ties , help with wiring issues , the little jobs , which they are great for , I have other makes , but I have issues with how to get a blade out in cold weather conditions , nail nics are difficult , but on this tool you can get all the blade tools out and sort out what you want , and the fast action of the plier is good , all of these type of multi tool are not a replacement for a good work tool , it's a stand by , light duty tool , for small tasks , I have now carried a multi tool for 30 years , and given away a few that did not make the grade , from all the main US makes and Swiss ! I use two sog , the switch pliers , and the small micro-tool both are good , and two from victorianox the Swiss tool , but I carry the switch pliers evey day , people would not break tools if they use them for the correct job !
