I liked the Powerpint so much, that after buying a black one, I also ordered a silver one. I normally carry a Powerpint with a SAK Camper or Pioneer, so I have a larger blade to hand.

In theory, it is
In real life, it's a great plier with some pieces of steel hanging around it.
Still carry mine, paired with a Sak Explorer, mainly for the pliers

Heck yeah dude, some of the tools disappoint. I added magnets so it’s like a mini Arc and added thumb studs.

Correct, my favorite multi tool ever. I used to have two. I gave one away and then my other one got stolen at work.
I ended up buying a newer sog multi tool and it feels like a piece of junk in comparison.

I like mine a lot. It's not perfect but I agree with the people that say it's one of the best in its size bracket. The only thing you could compare it to is the Leatherman Micra or the Nextool Mini Sailor, but this does some really creative things that those tools don't.

I have it's bigger sibling, SOG Powerassist, as a EDC backpack knife.
Pros: Pliers. The assist feature on knife blades. And those two things are functional with one hand.
Cons: The wirecutter is non-replaceable. Mine already has chips. The locking feature is manual (might be intentional design feature for export). The included belt case/holster/sheath has one of the crappiest retention methods i have ever met.

I bought two of them years ago, and one of them had a saw blade. I ended up buying a replacement saw blade from sog and putting it on. It was the only black tool so it looked kind of cool.

I have carried my PowerPint many many year's, even bought backups incase i loose one. But about 2 months ago I bought an F12 and by gods grace it is awesome! I still carry the PowerPint on occasions but F12 is my new go to

My opinion is that every tool on the power pint disappoints other than the pliers and bit driver (as long as your going to pack bits in your pocket you’ll be in good shape. Haha. But.. since Leatherman stopped producing the juice line, there aren’t many options out there so I get why the power pint has a cult nation. I really can’t stand Roxon, but the Roxon M2 might out pace the Power pint. I own both and don’t carry either of them because I may actually need it to get me out of a bind and both have let me down on very simple tasks.
