Looks like the Charge is the same as the Wave I just lost. Trying to figure out what to replace it with. I was all into this SOG, but the blades just have to be on the outside. I like the gearing on the SOG and the one handed pliers deployment. The Wave has the important tools on the outside and the pliers need some assist to get out with one hand, like your thigh, a tree, even an elbow. I'm going to to have to rethink this and not get distracted by cool flat black finish.
Great review nutn. I just wish your gerber multi-tool reviews that I recently watched were this good. Not sure why emotions seem to be running high in the comments on this video... seemed like a thorough and objective review to me!
I in my like the leatherman charge tti because it has those quick access blades. But the size does disappoint me, because I like a heavy duty full size dependable multi tool. But they should make a knife with the compound leverage and you should be able to customize your knife with the tools you would use in your situation or your crisis. Overall I would go with the leatherman charge.
I've used the SOG in the army... something similar to it is issued to the Singapore army. I found that it had horrible rust resistance, poor blade material (the tip snapped off under low loads). Handle covers did not fit well and closed with an unsatisfying and cheap scratching sound. I would very much prefer the wave variants as getting a knife out with one hand is invaluable. The SOG needs one to open the tool, pull out the handle cover, and pull out the knife. Leatherman would win this imo.
@zengmingde if im not mistaken they are made in china, so thats to be expected. americans dont make very many products anymore, but the products still made here are usually very well made.
Well, as far as the camouflage leatherman goes for use in the woods. in the words of the great Ted Nugent "I don't need no camouflage knife...No Sir" that is to say that it is much easier to get lost.
i can't stand that it has a bit driver and a dedicated standard screwdriver. why not put something useful there. if you have a combination bit with philips on one end and standard flathead on the other, why the heck are they wasting space like that. i have been watching these damn reviews for a week looking for a multitool that makes sense and find the same problem with the charge, surge, and the wave. you should be able to pick the tools you need when ordering a multitool, not have redundancy
I'm a Combat Engineer in the Marine Corps and I own a few mt's including both of these. Both are great tools, but I personally like carrying the SOG with the C4 spike in the field. It's quicker to use and deploy for me. With the SOG you only need to crimp blasting caps one time because it crimps it evenly and cleanly. Others I've used like the Gerbers, leathermans, and actual EOD pliers you have to crimp more than once which can cause the cap to go off.
Those dreaded coverings over the tools are removable.
I couldn't stand them either so I took mine off. It's a little uncomfortable on the hands when using the pliers tho. I found my powerlock for $20 a while ago, and if it wasn't for the price, I'd have a Leatherman by now, hands down.
i just took the handle covers off of my powerlock. it worked great after that. never had a leatherman yet so i wouldn't know how good they are, but i do think the sog was a fine tool, unfortunately i say was because i left mine under my hood when i drove off and never saw them again.
Leatherman tools don't stand up to everyday use as a mechanic they save trips to the box I got tired of my leathermans literally falling apart in my hand switched to sog and have not any problems at all nice tool they obviously use a much better grade of steal but leathermans just have a better name in the world of multitools not better quality
I've had the SOG Powerlock EOD for over 6 months now. Besides the cumbersome way to deploy the tools, my biggest gripe with this mulit-tool is how weak the Philips bit is. I work on aircraft and use the Philips & flat blade drivers a lot. Unfortunately, if you apply too much torque on the Philips bit, it snaps right off (looks weak to begin with). The SOG Co. was quick to send me replacement bits free of charge but, to this date, I have gone through 5 of the bits so far. Very frustrating!
Eh sog powerlock is just not very good, from what I see so far. I have leatherman wave which is very similar to this charge. I would personally not buy this sog coming from leatherman but - each their own I guess.
Hey Nutnfancy. I'm a new subscriber and I have to say I'm very impressed with your reviews. I purchased a spyderco cara cara 2 knife based on your review and I can't express how happy I am to have it as an EDC knife. Keep the great reviews coming and thanks! Looks like I'll be looking to get a Leatherman multi-tool soon as well!
Well, I think that this review does need to updated. The Powerlock has been updated, and for PETE's SAKE review two tools that are the SAME size. Leatherman makes more tools than the Charge and SOG has other tools besides the Powerlock. Just because the Charge is your favorite multitool, you shouldn't compare it to everything else. You wouldn't compare it to a full tool kit? Didn't think so... I have both a Leatherman and a SOG, both good, both different.
From where you are coming, valid points (made probably after consuming inordinate amounts of caffeine). However, these are the exact two tools I am currently deciding between so this is not only the PERFECT review for me, but well-done to boot! Thank you, Nutnfancy... 2 thumbs up.
Sog is a folding plier foremost, no surprise they're the best. The implements are decent but unlike the pliers will leave you wishing you had a dedicated knife or screwdriver. Fair enough. Sog reached its stride with the older powerplier. I own three. The LM is a genuine multitool. It does a few tricks but being designed around a philosophy and not a particular tool it does nothing uniquely well. It leaves me wishing I had, well, my Sog.
Based on your videos I ended up with the Charge Tti and am quite happy with it, but not before I tried (and retunred) a Wave and a Juice S2 - I also tried out the Powerlock S60 and love it - the pliers are a modern marvel in my opionion. The rest of the parts are not quite up to par with the Tti but pretty close, I also really like the finish of the SOG. The "flippy" deployment is a win too although I can basdh a knuckle if I'm not careful.
@nutnfancy Moron? Thats not very nice. My english skills are not the best, just because its not my native language. But who cares? Compare the SOG with a more similar tool like the LM supertool and everything will be fine.
@1DJATone1 I'm supposed to be nice to the guy who rolled in acting like a horse's ass and calling this video the "worst review I have ever seen"? Get real... If you don't like it, make a better one on YOUR channel, but don't troll this one and expected to be treated with kid gloves.

I'm surprised at how many people want comparisons between things as similar as possible. Actually, in today's society maybe it's not so surprising. But, sometimes people compare things that are different! If someone is looking at a Rezound phone would you call them to the carpet for not comparing it to a Galaxy Nexus, or would it be "fair" enough to compare it an iPhone 4S? He is comparing to tools he likes, not two tools that are going to double for each other in a movie!
I think leatherman is A multi tool brand and SOG is a knife company and thats why leatherman has the multitool down pat, Even though SOG claims it was the first to make the multi tool leatherman brought the "perfected" multitool to the masses, i think the leatherman is a better all purpose tool the SOG is a great set of pliers but falls short in every other category the leatherman is an average set of pliers but excels in every other way I use the "Core" for EDC and the "Wave" camping
Not to give any offence, you use your personal opinion on products more often than the actual quality. You have a default to the leatherman, therefore you should be more professional and judge upon quality.
I have a sog power lock that my father passed down to me after he retired from the marines. this multi tool is 25 years old and has been to Iraq twice. theres is no flaws in the multi-tool. so if you want something that you know can be used hard in the most extreme condition for YEARS pick the sog power lock.
man i bught my leatherman charge AL 5 months ago and it rocks!!! but really expencive here in norway... in us dollers it is around 240$ in norwegian KR *kroner* it is around 1400 kr thats a LOT of money to spend for a 14 year old kid ... but you now what... its whort everithing i payd fo it great review
This was just a one sided review of the leatherman, you didn't even give the sog a chance. In my opinion, SOG is a much better tool build and design wise. Leatherman is OVER-RATED!!!
wife bought me the sog b61 for xmas.. it wil replace my gerber 400 sport... can't wait to put it to use... the gerber 400 was a great every day pocket tool. the sog is obviously more heavy duty and as an outdoor, camping, electrician I will be sure to put it throught the ringer.. its amazing how many times I put the gerber to usen on an everyday basis, I don't know how people live without one
All-do-respect, but I really think you should look back on the SOG Powerplier / Powerlock multi-tools. Sure, it doesn't have the convienence of externally acessible tools, but some things you must consider is that SOG encourages you to take it apart to maintain the tool - there are very few gimmicky and moving parts that lead it to breakage like some other MTs. Not to mention, you can customize the tool with components on the SOG website to fit your needs.
From my perspective, weight and size give the SOG PowerLock a distinct advantage, it's built to take abuse better than a trailer-park bleached blonde. Being longer makes it easier to use and gives it more leverage in my experience. An added plus is that it is long and weighty enough to use as a very effective kubotan in self defense. (As was proven on an unruly and unsavory character at a Detroit truckstop at 0-dark:30 a few years ago.)
i agree with the powerlocks downfalls although i bought one about five years ago for the one handed pliars ability mostly and in that they are great. I want a leatherman for everything else. also, one of the machine screws fell out luckily i had one that worked or i would be without a blade etc...
Hi Nutnfancy,great video,i have one of these cabelas charges sound a bit fussy but i've found the coating is coming of the handles a bit,could you recomend a touch up paint which might work.
@ALISTAIR349 I like the SOG better than the Charge . . . . now the Surge, now THATS a multitool! As a proud SOG owner . . . I'm upgrading to something much more finely engineered.
I picked up a Powerlock EOD based on this and cutlerylover's review. I think my model is a bit newer than his because the compound leverage gears on my tool have more cover and protection. The tool clumping issue also seems to be fixed because they've placed washers between certain tools.
I think that you have a good point there, but the size of the knife and file may be closer to the size of the charge rather than the Supertool.
My critiques are that the powerlock runs about $60 and the Cabela Charge runs bout $120.
I also think that he's being a bit harsh on the Powerlock's handle cover, as in my own experience I find that over time the covers make the Powerlock much more comfortable to use than the charge.
I've never seen an actual powerlock, they're uncommon in Canada. I've held a charge. I think that this comparison is apples to oranges in some ways. The main example being the one handed opening tools. This would be a bit more fair if it was powerlock vs. supertool or powerassist vs. charge.
@teknifix Exactly right, the tools are slightly different meant for different people, I would love to have both on my dresser every morning so I could decide what I wanted based on the daily activities
I picked up a SOG EOD powerassist. Much easier deployment of regular blade and serrated blade from the outside closed configuration. Blades snap out fast with the power assist. Other ancillary tools still access by folding it out and open the cover. Keep in mind that the cover is removeable. Picked the SOG up at Botach for a little under $50. Still though, the Swiss Tool is my favorite. Been using them for at least 10 years and love them.
All tools coming out at once is really personal preference if you think about it, i personally like just pulling on a tab, nick, whatever you call it.. and being able to pick what i want. But it is all personal preference, good vid.
He did not mention that the leatherman screwdriver bit can be pulled out and reversed to hold both the phillip's and the flat head bit. great vid though
Uh oh, my SOG PowerAssist straight edge is broken, blade steel I gotta say is a bit on the weaker side. But at the moment the biggest problem is probably something with the heat treating or welding of the blade retention bar which broke off completely, so once i slide the blade lock back it opens like an automatic
LM multitools may lead the way with innovative designs but in general fit and finish is substandard compared to Victorinox and SOG, my impression of the WAVE is good but liner locks were poorly executed and the main blade grind was crude. For one handed opening SOG Powerlock Assist can't be beat
What about the safety of your fingers with the leatherman. the blades don't lock like the gerber I own and love and was the deciding factor in me getting the gerber. Also the fast deployment of the pliers is a plus (considering that you can get used to it) and if leatherman used some of these features I WOULD BUY THE PRODUCT IN A HEARTBEAT WITHOUT EVEN THINKING OVER GERBER.
i bought my first multi-tool two hours ago ^-^ its a leatherman blast, came with a leather belt sheath and a collectors tin, got it at target for $50 ^-^ i love it.
In my humble opinion, you should stop re-reviewing the charge. Sure it's a great tool, and it's great that you compare it against a control. But we know you like the charge, we don't need to hear about it in every single video. You may say yourself that you have no bias to one company, but clearly you do.
@mjmont92 yes,no doubt that no one is 0% biased. However, there is a good reason why nutn is biased. Because he understands and trusts that this manufacturer is doing a good job
@mjmont92 He may prefer the charge, but that's the product, not the brand.
For example, it seems he would much prefer a SwissTool over a SuperTool 300 in his videos, because of the external blades that are easy-access, rather than the "traditional" SuperTool.
He isn't biased towards Leatherman, he just likes the charge as a multitool.
@mjmont92 true for multi-tools. but look at other things like knives. he carries sog,benchmade, kershaw, spyderco,cold steel,etc. so give him some room having mainly the charge.it just works.
@Ironmaiden666trp I cant believe im still getting stupid comments about this. He is supposed to be reviewing the SOG. But he just re reviews the Letherman in every multi tool review. I'm just saying it's not the best way to do a review. You could review a Ferrari against a Hyundai and give reasons why the Ferrai's better. But you're not telling them anything about the hyundai. It's clearly bias, look up the definition. And don't come back trying to defend yourself.
Looks like the Charge is the same as the Wave I just lost. Trying to figure out what to replace it with. I was all into this SOG, but the blades just have to be on the outside. I like the gearing on the SOG and the one handed pliers deployment.

All-do-respect, but I really think you should look back on the SOG Powerplier / Powerlock multi-tools. Sure, it doesn't have the convienence of externally acessible tools, but some things you must consider is that SOG encourages you to take it apart to maintain the tool - there are very few gimmicky and moving parts that lead it to breakage like some other MTs. Not to mention, you can customize the tool with components on the SOG website to fit your needs.
To me, this tool is built like a tank

From my perspective, weight and size give the SOG PowerLock a distinct advantage, it's built to take abuse better than a trailer-park bleached blonde. Being longer makes it easier to use and gives it more leverage in my experience. An added plus is that it is long and weighty enough to use as a very effective kubotan in self defense. (As was proven on an unruly and unsavory character at a Detroit truckstop at 0-dark:30 a few years ago.)

You can pop the tool covers off the powerlock.

i agree with the powerlocks downfalls although i bought one about five years ago for the one handed pliars ability mostly and in that they are great. I want a leatherman for everything else. also, one of the machine screws fell out luckily i had one that worked or i would be without a blade etc...

It would cost less for materials, and be easier to use, if the SOG had rolled edges similar to a SuperTool 300, rather than the tool covers.
I can't figure out why they put those on the tool...

HOLDGREVE26 1 year ago
I picked up a Powerlock EOD based on this and cutlerylover's review. I think my model is a bit newer than his because the compound leverage gears on my tool have more cover and protection. The tool clumping issue also seems to be fixed because they've placed washers between certain tools.

How do the pliers stack up against the supertool 300? Would the comparison be a little more "fair" if it was the SOG vs. Supertool?
teknifix 2 years ago
@teknifix
I think that you have a good point there, but the size of the knife and file may be closer to the size of the charge rather than the Supertool.
My critiques are that the powerlock runs about $60 and the Cabela Charge runs bout $120.
I also think that he's being a bit harsh on the Powerlock's handle cover, as in my own experience I find that over time the covers make the Powerlock much more comfortable to use than the charge.
piccolo181 2 years ago
I've never seen an actual powerlock, they're uncommon in Canada. I've held a charge. I think that this comparison is apples to oranges in some ways. The main example being the one handed opening tools. This would be a bit more fair if it was powerlock vs. supertool or powerassist vs. charge.
teknifix 2 years ago
I agree completely.
piccolo181 2 years ago
@teknifix Exactly right, the tools are slightly different meant for different people, I would love to have both on my dresser every morning so I could decide what I wanted based on the daily activities

ApocalypticRedIX 2 years ago
I picked up a SOG EOD powerassist. Much easier deployment of regular blade and serrated blade from the outside closed configuration. Blades snap out fast with the power assist. Other ancillary tools still access by folding it out and open the cover. Keep in mind that the cover is removeable. Picked the SOG up at Botach for a little under $50. Still though, the Swiss Tool is my favorite. Been using them for at least 10 years and love them.

Not a fair comparison IMHO. Charge TTI is approximately two times more expensive than Powerlock. Other than that - nice review!

Uh oh, my SOG PowerAssist straight edge is broken, blade steel I gotta say is a bit on the weaker side. But at the moment the biggest problem is probably something with the heat treating or welding of the blade retention bar which broke off completely, so once i slide the blade lock back it opens like an automatic
gORERubicon 2 years ago
LM multitools may lead the way with innovative designs but in general fit and finish is substandard compared to Victorinox and SOG, my impression of the WAVE is good but liner locks were poorly executed and the main blade grind was crude. For one handed opening SOG Powerlock Assist can't be beat

What about the safety of your fingers with the leatherman. the blades don't lock like the gerber I own and love and was the deciding factor in me getting the gerber. Also the fast deployment of the pliers is a plus (considering that you can get used to it) and if leatherman used some of these features I WOULD BUY THE PRODUCT IN A HEARTBEAT WITHOUT EVEN THINKING OVER GERBER.

In my humble opinion, you should stop re-reviewing the charge. Sure it's a great tool, and it's great that you compare it against a control. But we know you like the charge, we don't need to hear about it in every single video. You may say yourself that you have no bias to one company, but clearly you do.

@mjmont92 yes,no doubt that no one is 0% biased. However, there is a good reason why nutn is biased. Because he understands and trusts that this manufacturer is doing a good job

JoGenJG 2 years ago
@mjmont92 He may prefer the charge, but that's the product, not the brand.
For example, it seems he would much prefer a SwissTool over a SuperTool 300 in his videos, because of the external blades that are easy-access, rather than the "traditional" SuperTool.
He isn't biased towards Leatherman, he just likes the charge as a multitool.
bluesy92 1 year ago
@mjmont92 true for multi-tools. but look at other things like knives. he carries sog,benchmade, kershaw, spyderco,cold steel,etc. so give him some room having mainly the charge.it just works.

Ironmaiden666trp 1 year ago
@Ironmaiden666trp I cant believe im still getting stupid comments about this. He is supposed to be reviewing the SOG. But he just re reviews the Letherman in every multi tool review. I'm just saying it's not the best way to do a review. You could review a Ferrari against a Hyundai and give reasons why the Ferrai's better. But you're not telling them anything about the hyundai. It's clearly bias, look up the definition. And don't come back trying to defend yourself.
