This is probably a long shot with this being a computer forum but I'm after a multi tool and cant decide on a Leartherman XTI or a Sog Powerlock. Would be great to hear from anyone who has both or anyone who has the above multi tools.

Leatherman

SOG Multi tool

Here are the 2 i have in mind.

TIA

Like what?, if you mean a proper pair of pliers and a proper knife i already have them, I'm working as a joiner at the moment so have all the industrial tools i need. Its mainly going to be used for odd jobs and just because i want a new gadget :D .

Can you flick the Leathermans open with one hand?, as the SOG does this, sounds like a pretty useful feature, not to mention would look cool :) .

I have three Leathermans; a Micra on my keyring, a Juice in my cutlery draw and a Wave at work. I got the Wave from www.leathermans.co.uk. They do free engraving and postage on orders over £30. For a bit more cash I got the screwdriver attachment and bits which fix onto the top of the tool itself, all together in a leather belt pouch. Also, someone already said it but you can send Leathermans off and get them cleaned and sharpened under warranty. Can't say I've ever heard of SOG.

Edit: Just found an old pic from the last thread we had on this.

Wow i like the look of the wave in the picture you posted, looks nice and chunky.

The Leatherman brand seems to be pretty much owning the SOG then, i heard the SOG is a lot better but it doesn't seem to have as many tools and the knife looks a bit too small to be of any use. I think it is going to have to be the Leatherman Titanium then, it should weigh a little bit less being titanium which is a bonus. Better yet i could get both :) , they're cheap enough from the states, i could prolly get both for the same amount it would be for one in a camping shop over here.

:D Ive just ordered a Leatherman XTI and a SOG Blink pocket knife from ebay. £82 total inc shipping, would have been a lot more over here, just got to cross my fingers i dont get stung by customs now, but i never have before so should be fine. I cant wait to get it, i love gadgets and stuff :D .

Well my multi tool turned up this morning, i went for the Leatherman charge TI in the end and im over the moon with it. I didnt expect each of the tools to be locked in place with liner locks. All the tools seem good quality and sharp. Thanks for all the replies chaps :) . It worked out at about £35 from the states :) .

Id forgotten all about this thread :D . It was indeed, look for flames and knives, i think it was called. Its an American seller but Ive ordered from them loads of times now and always get my delivery quickly and Ive never had a problem.
