The SOG Powerlock V-Cutter delivers professional-grade functionality in a compact 7-inch multi-tool platform. Built with 420 stainless steel construction and black oxide coating, this tool provides reliable performance across 18 integrated functions. The patented Powerlock mechanism ensures secure tool lockup under heavy use conditions.
What Makes This Different
The Powerlock's compound leverage system generates significantly more cutting force than standard plier-based multi-tools. While conventional designs rely on basic pivot points, SOG's gear-driven mechanism multiplies applied force by approximately 2:1 ratio. The V-cutter blade creates precise wire stripping capabilities that standard cutters cannot match. Black oxide finish provides enhanced corrosion resistance compared to bare stainless steel alternatives.
Key Features
- Patented Powerlock compound leverage system for maximum cutting force
- 420 stainless steel construction with black oxide corrosion protection
- 18 integrated tools including V-cutter, pliers, knife blade, and drivers
- 7-inch overall length provides optimal leverage without excessive bulk
- Ballistic nylon sheath with belt loop and snap closure

Field testing demonstrates the Powerlock's ability to cut through 12-gauge wire, strip electrical cables, and handle automotive maintenance tasks. The tool maintains functionality in temperatures from -20°F to 150°F. Law enforcement and military personnel rely on the Powerlock for breaching operations, equipment maintenance, and emergency response scenarios. The black oxide coating resists saltwater corrosion and maintains tool appearance under harsh conditions.
