The PowerLock EOD is a Government Services Administration-approved multitool suitable for military use – but there's no law against keeping it around the house, at the jobsite or in your car for when the goin' gets tough. This multitool features SOG's patented Compound Leverage to deliver twice the power of your average multitool when force is applied, as well as a 1/4” magnetic ratchet driver and 1/4” magnetic hex bit driver for even greater utility. Disclaimer: This product is designed to be more rugged and field-ready right out of the box. Per the engineering specifications, a black oxide wax and oil conversion-coating is applied to increase corrosion resistance, minimize light reflection, and provide a low-profile, slightly distressed finish. This coating can be wiped away if desired.
Using the proven PowerLock chassis, SOG is the only company to apply Compound Leverage technology to EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal). This makes it a breeze to crimp blasting caps and demolition cord with less hand pressure. Another unique SOG feature is the positioning of the crimper device within the confines of the handle, not in the plier jaw, like all other designs. This serves to minimize collateral damage to the crimper and allows the operator to have full use of the uninterrupted plier surface. Additionally there is no weakening of the pliers that often causes breakage of the plier tips. The crimper produces non-flaring, high pull out strength crimps that meet government fuse well specifications. It is also GSA approved.
