SOG PowerPint Multi-Tool Review: Right for Our Shop?
We’ve tried plenty of multi-tools that promise “pocket-sized” and still end up feeling like a brick in our jeans. The SOG PowerPint Mini Compact Stainless Steel Multi-Tool is one of the few that actually earns the name. In our shop, the stone-wash finish looks ready for honest abuse—scratches blend in, fingerprints don’t linger, and it doesn’t scream “too precious to use.” What caught our attention is how much it packs into a small frame: 18 lightweight specialty tools, pliers that feel more capable than the size suggests, and a pocket knife that’s handy for quick cuts without reaching for a full blade. The real question is whether compact convenience can keep up with daily shop demands.
EDC Multitool Carabiner Review: Right for Our Shop?
When we’re choosing small EDC items for our shop, we look for gear that earns its space. This blue 6-in-1 Multitool Carabiner with Pocket Knife aims to do exactly that: clip on like a keychain, then quietly cover the everyday “oh no” moments—opening a bottle at camp, tightening a loose screw, or popping a package without hunting for a blade. In our hands, the appeal is the mix of convenience and confidence: a sturdy carabiner backbone, a compact knife, and add-ons like a window breaker that hint at emergency utility without feeling gimmicky. It’s not a toolbox replacement, but it might be the kind of cool, giftable gadget customers actually carry.
