At first glance, the SwissTool X seems to have many (if not all) ...

Nothing like taking an industry standard and making it bigger & better, right? That's what Leatherman has done with its Surge pocket multitool.

The pliers are ...

It would take a lot for a multi-function tool to ever surpass the standard that Leatherman has already set in place. So does SOG break the mold with the S-60 Powerlock? Maybe.

What's that? This is a Leatherman New Wave? Oh, that I can get behind!

Leatherman, of course, makes great quality multi-tools, and the original Wave was one ...

The pliers slide forward and lock into place, making them ...
