Multi Tool Information
GENERAL INFORMATION
A multi-tool or combination tool is a compact, portable hand tool that combines several individual tool functions in a single item. Due to their compact size, they can be carried in a pocket or belt pouch. Components may include nail file, tweezers, folding scissors, toothpick, magnifying glass, screwdriver bits, and others. Nearly all multi-tools also feature at least one knife blade. There are also versions that have special tools for specific sports or outdoor activities, such as golf, horseback riding, hunting, or fishing.
REPLACING COMPONENTS
Some multi-tools allow users to replace broken components themselves. However, many of the more popular brands require the tool be returned to the manufacturer to have any broken components replaced. SOG gives you the ability to replace worn or broken components.
COMPOUND LEVERAGE

-
Compound leverage is a patented feature on SOG combination-tools. It provides twice the cutting and gripping force of conventional designs and allows you to squeeze harder with less effort, thanks to our unique gear drive.
Pouches
Typically the larger multi-tools will include a pouch that can be mounted on a belt. A majority of the pouches are made from leather or nylon.
FINISHES
Higher quality multi-tools have a polished finish to prevent corrosion, as compared to some of the other finishes available, like bead blasted.
OPENING MECHANISMS
There are many ways that multi-tools can be opened. Most require two-handed opening. SOG combination tools are famous for their one-handed flick opening.
WEIGHT
The weight of a multi-tool is something else to consider. Heavier tools usually feature more components. They are also generally much stronger and, therefore, capable of bigger chores.
