This is the first in the world to house not just one but two SOG Assisted Technology blades. Start to open the main blades, which are available when the main tool is closed, and S.A.T. takes over to complete opening. When not in use, these blades lock closed using our patent pending side release. Flip open the tool and experience the precision of the heavy-duty plier capability and large wire cutters. Smooth handle surfaces promote comfort on even the toughest jobs. Also includes Compound Leverage gear covers, heavy duty construction, V-Cutter, built-in crimpers and matte black finish for low reflectivity. ABOUT SOG Our story begins in Vietnam, where members of a highly classified US special ops unit - known as MACV-SOG - carried a unique combat knife into the jungle on covert missions. Years later, in 1986, that knife inspired a young designer, named Spencer Frazer, to found SOG Specialty Knives. So whether you're protecting others or leading an epic hunting expedition, tackling one of life's everyday challenges or facing your most extreme conditions yet, lead the way with SOG. Review: Amazing tool - I carry this tool every day and love it. I find myself using it on a regular basis and it always performs. I am a carpenter/contractor which means I already own many full sized versions of the tools included in this piece, but that doesn't mean I have them on my person all the time. If I'm on a job and need to make a quick cut, crimp, turn of a bolt or screw it used to mean wearing my 30lb framers belt all day, or stopping to go the my tool bag or truck. Now, just a flip of the velcro flap on my belt and I'm on to the next thing, saving time and money. This tool has more than paid for itself for this reason alone. The case is very heavy nylon which holds its shape to allow easy deployment and insertion. Also the open sides on the top and bottom prevent debris build up with is very beneficial to me (I pretty much pour saw dust out of my pockets at the end of the day). The compound action of the pliers is amazing. You can cut, crimp, or pinch anything with ease which is rare for most multi tools because of their size and shape. The multiple screwdriving bits are sturdy and effective with the piano key type lockup allowing you to put sufficient force on them without having fear of the bit closing on your fingers or damaging finished surfaces. The 2 blades are very useful as well, and for some may suffice as an EDC set. Though I still carry a dedicated knife for that purpose, it never hurts to have options. I tend to use these blades for tasks that could result in damage to a blade I wouldn't want my pocket knife going through. They both hold an edge very well and sharpen easily. I usually only have to touch them up every week or so. Which brings me to another great design feature of this tool. SOG carries a full line of replacement tools/blades so the fear of breaking a piece and rendering a $60 tool useless is put to rest, as well as giving the option for customization. Some may have an issue with the weight, but between all the other items I have on me 24/7, I don't notice it at all, as well as it being a testimate to its strength and durability. If I could think of any con it would be the sliding locks for the 2 blades. They have a very short throw allowing them to accidentally engage. I noticed this the first day I owned this tool and quickly fixed it with a single drop of super glue to permanently lock them in the off position, as I also feel they're unnecessary with the sprung tension on the blades. I've never had one open on my accidentally. I love this thing and know it will last for years to come, through all the use and abuse I have planned for it. Review: Almost perfect! - I've been in and around construction/maintenance for over 20 years and just recently realized the value of a good multi-tool at your side. The ones I usually see are cheaply made or were more trouble to use to be of any benefit. Then I picked up a beat-up SOG Powerlock at a garage sale for 10 bucks. Not realizing what I had it sat for months unused until I did some research on SOG products. I ordered a sheath for it from SOG and it became indispensable. You really do use it more than you think you would. Then I saw the Power Assist! Basically the same as the Powerlock but with the 2 assisted opening blades which are truly awesome and fun to work with. It's truly a one-handed tool as far as the blades and the pliers are concerned. And let's face it the pliers are what most people will use the most. A lot has been said about the compound leverage gears and it's all true. I played with a Leathermen SURGE at a retailer alongside a power Assist before I bought mine. The Surge was VERY heavy and took a lot just to open up the pliers. it was very stiff. Perhaps it needed a little breaking in. The Power Assist by comparison opens buttery smooth. You can flip it open one-handed. Imagine a Hummer doing Tai-Chi! This tool is a "machine" in my opinion. It has gears, it has a precision build to it you have to feel to appreciate. I had already preordered a wood saw to replace the V-cut tool it comes with as this would be more useful to me. (I put the V-cut tool on my key ring to have as an emergency seat-belt cutter where I could actually get to it) Yes, the other tools take a little effort to pull out, but are hardly a reason to pass on such a great product. If you don't care about the assisted blades a regular Power lock will give you a few more tools and options, better yet get them both! August 2012 update: Still going strong! I've been using this five days a week since Nov 2010. Being in maintenance I use this at least four times a day. Nothing has broken on me yet. The power-assist blades still pop out like on the first day of use. I've read quite a few negative reviews about pliers breaking and philips heads snapping. Perhaps SOG got a bad batch of steel, I don't know. Mine has performed flawlessly day in and out. I don't baby it, and actually take pride in the little scratches and wear it gets. The black oxide coating has held up beautifully. It's almost like it's actually black steel, and not a coating. It has worn off a little on the rounded rivets and some edges, more character! I was looking for a lighter weight multi-tool for non-work EDC, and was leaning toward the Leatherman REBAR. They make great products, but for FIVE dollars more I ordered another Powerassist satin finish, a gorgeous looking tool. When you've used the smooth opening pliers, it's hard to go back to the traditional clunky opening ones. Even the extra weight doesn't bother me, it's actually comforting, feeling it on your belt. No other multi-tool is truly as one-handed as this with regards to the pliers and blades, and in an emergency when you may only have one hand I don't trust anything else. One last thing, Leatherman offers a 25 year warranty, SOG tools have a LIFETIME warranty, and if you break the implements you can ORDER new ones and install them yourself! A no-brainer guys (and gals). October 2013 update: Added the 1/4" driver a while back and bought the bit kit from SOG. now I can use any 1/4" bits. Still can't seem to break this thing. Don't baby it at all. ## Features - 16 HAND TOOLS IN BLACK OXIDE 420 STAINLESS STEEL: The loadout for this EDC outdoor camping and hiking multitool includes pliers, screwdrivers, bottle and can openers, even a blasting cap crimper - 2X PLIERS POWER W/ PATENTED COMPOUND LEVERAGE: A tough and lightweight multi-tool knife, tool kit and survival kit in one; this powerhouse pocket multitool cuts, crimps and tightens twice as easy - EDC MULTITOOL SHEATH IN BALLISTIC NYLON: Use your everything tool with tools for work in the warehouse, office or home; or go backpacking, fishing and camping with this everyday carry multitool with sheath - 2 ONE-HAND OPEN MULTITOOL POCKET KNIFE 2.75 INCH BLADES: SOG Assisted Tech powers 1 straight edge and 1 serrated blade; no more broken nails getting your multitool pocket knife open - BLACK OXIDE COATING: Multitool is wax and oil coated right out of the box for increased corrosion resistance and minimal light reflection; this coating can be wiped clean upon using if desired ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001DZX7C4 | | Best Sellers Rank | #344,640 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #1,168 in Multitools | | Brand | SOG | | Brand Name | SOG | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 1,324 Reviews | | Drive System | Center Drive | | Folded Size | 1.9 x 0.77 inches | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00729857994002 | | Included Components | 1 item | | Item Dimensions | 7 x 1.9 x 0.77 inches | | Item Length | 10 inches | | Item Type Name | Utility Tool | | Item Weight | 9.6 ounces | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 7 x 1.9 x 0.77 inches | | Manufacturer | SOG Specialty Knives & Tools | | Manufacturer Part Number | B66N-CP | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | Lifetime Limited | | Material | Stainless Steel | | Material Type | Stainless Steel | | Model Number | B66N-CP | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 16 | | UPC | 617407311563 809190590977 807031782642 014444645406 041114564170 031111200713 801200947467 088021813755 070090114604 100177478012 729857991001 031113086636 042132779140 132017689043 729857994002 731215370656 041239870903 097914397067 168141230592 768674086583 803982993526 163120714889 737424260993 807320257394 172304201695 163120823369 735479125540 069060359114 012304441540 102930574153 1000769950… | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** SOG - **Color:** Black - **Item Weight:** 9.6 ounces - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 7 x 1.9 x 0.77 inches - **Material:** Stainless Steel ## Images ![SOG Multi-Tool Pliers PowerAssist Pocket Knife with 16 Lightweight Specialty Tools and EDC Sheath (B66N-CP), Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61k-0BG28YL.jpg) ![SOG Multi-Tool Pliers PowerAssist Pocket Knife with 16 Lightweight Specialty Tools and EDC Sheath (B66N-CP), Black - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51QzgADD+5L.jpg) ![SOG Multi-Tool Pliers PowerAssist Pocket Knife with 16 Lightweight Specialty Tools and EDC Sheath (B66N-CP), Black - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/519lCjsJ8cL.jpg) ![SOG Multi-Tool Pliers PowerAssist Pocket Knife with 16 Lightweight Specialty Tools and EDC Sheath (B66N-CP), Black - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51wvnvdFdtL.jpg) ![SOG Multi-Tool Pliers PowerAssist Pocket Knife with 16 Lightweight Specialty Tools and EDC Sheath (B66N-CP), Black - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/514jWMiuCEL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing tool *by F***K on January 1, 2013* I carry this tool every day and love it.

Beat it up. SOG will stand behind their products! 4) The all black coating is kinda bad ass so extra cool points. Ok if you're still reading... here's my review: Let me start by saying this: I own a number of multi tools: a Leatherman Wave, Wingman, Rev, and Skeletool. I also own a Gerber MP600, Dime, and Suspension. And they're ALL great tools, so you won't be getting any comparisons from me. But I have a fair bit of experience with using all these tools over the years. So I purchased this SOG Power Assist multi tool right here on Amazon back in 2012. I wish I had taken pics of it and how I've used it over the years, because I've put it thru the grinder! It's been used well. Not abused, but used to it's full potential since I've owned it. I used it to build a dog run and I've cut tie wire to build a fence with it. I've used the end of it to beat down the lid on a paint can. Actually multiple paint and stain cans as I've used it while painting at work, at home, and any number of "Honey Do" projects for my wife. I've used it to repair a leak on my radiator, wire electrical outlets, and cable TV. It's repaired and tuned up my lawn mower, line trimmer, and leaf blower. It's on my belt every time I do yard work, and for every single home project I've worked on since buying it. It's been really good to me, and I've had nothing but good experience with this tool. Fast forward to August 2019. Now here's where things change a little bit. For the worse and then...for the better. I started to notice that the blade assisted opening wasn't working as well anymore. After seven years of serious service I wasn't surprised. To make matters worse, the blade also would no longer lock while in the open position OR when it was closed. That can be dangerous, so I ended up just leaving this multitool in it's sheath on my dresser, and pulled out my Leatherman Wave and just started using that one. (Great tool as well btw!) BUT, I really missed the SOG power assist pliers and wire cutters because of that cam/compound thing... They are SO good! Cuts wire like butter! So... I started shopping for a new SOG power assist multi tool, and since it's been 7 years I thought I'd look at SOG's website for a newer model. What I found was SOG's LIFETIME Warranty. It was such a simple warranty process! I printed a PDF form from their website, filled it out, then packed the form and my SOG into a small Priority Mail box...and a week later I got a brand new Power Assist multi tool!!!! I was hopeful they'd at least repair it, and they exceeded my expectations! Not only is this a great tool... But I can attest to SOG standing behind their warranty! ## Frequently Bought Together - SOG Multi-Tool Pliers- PowerAssist Multi-Tool Pocket Knife and Utility Tool Set with 16 Lightweight Specialty Tools and EDC Sheath (B66N-CP) , Black - SOG Flint 4.3" Survival & Defense Portable Compact Tool for Outdoors and Emergencies | Includes Glass Breaker and Whistle - SOG PowerPint Mini Compact Stainless Steel Multi-Tool, 18 Lightweight Specialty Tools & SOG Multitool Pliers Pocket Knife, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/1412188-sog-multi-tool-pliers-powerassist-pocket-knife-with-16-lightweight](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/1412188-sog-multi-tool-pliers-powerassist-pocket-knife-with-16-lightweight) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-08-28*
