Using the proven PowerLock chassis, SOG is the only brand to apply Compound Leverage technology to EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal). This makes it easy to crimp blasting caps & 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 & 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. Another new feature is the addition of the V-Cutter. Use it to cut seat belts, paracord,fishing line, electrical cable sheathing and much more.
