SOG PowerPint Mini Compact Stainless Steel Multi-Tool - Compact EDC

In this review the PowerPint is judged as a compact everyday carry multi-tool aimed at hikers, campers, and anyone who wants a small but capable pocket tool. The single biggest reason to buy is its combination of full-sized utility and portability: the PowerPint packs 18 tools, including two stainless blades and a magnetic hex bit holder, into a device that closes to about 3.2 in and weighs roughly 4.2 ounces, making it unusually useful for a pint-sized tool without taking up pocket space.

Key Features

• 18 tools in one: The PowerPint brings a wide set of functions from pliers to scissors to a file so you rarely need to carry separate tools for common tasks.
• Compound Leverage pliers: The patented compound leverage doubles gripping and cutting power, so the mini pliers handle tougher jobs than their size suggests.
• Two stainless blades: A straight-edge and a serrated 5Cr15MoV blade give clean cuts and sawing ability for a range of materials when out in the field or at home.
• Magnetic hex bit holder: The 1/4 in magnetic bit holder accepts bits for quick screwdriver swaps and expands the tool's versatility without adding bulk.
• Lightweight and compact: At about 4.2 ounces and 5 in open (3.2 in closed), it is easy to carry in a pocket or pack while still offering full-sized utility.

Who It's For

The PowerPint is well suited for outdoor enthusiasts and everyday users who need a compact multi-tool for hiking, fishing, camping, or quick household fixes. Its small footprint and variety of tools make it a strong choice for anyone who values carryability and wants basic to intermediate functionality without a heavy multitool.

Those who require heavy-duty shop-grade tools or specialized single-purpose instruments should look elsewhere; while the PowerPint delivers impressive leverage and utility, its compact size and mixed feedback on build and lock mean it is best as a versatile EDC companion rather than a primary workshop tool.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Extensive toolset in a small package, covering cutting, gripping, filing, and bit driving.

• Lightweight and pocketable design that still feels capable for everyday tasks and outdoor use.

Cons

• Build quality and the tool lock receive mixed feedback, so some users may find parts feel less sturdy or experience difficulty closing certain tools.
