The SOG Flash MT is an attempt at something new, and this should be applauded. Because some decisions are being made along the way.” “Some mistakes will be made along the way. Knife deployment is difficult and causes blade finish wear.Compound Leverage pliers and wire cutters live up to their name.On the other side of the tool, the knife lock and hinge area also create pressure points. When working with the pliers the squared off lines of the bit-holder-handle, and the bit holder cover itself, dig into the palm. While technically a ¼” will fit here, it also does not fit securely.įrom the perspective of ergonomics, this tool is tough to love. It’s possible to make a ratcheting motion of this process by loosening your grip, but this also makes it more likely the bit will fall out.

As with the Reactor, using the bit driver requires constantly squeezing the tool – otherwise the bit spins from the counterforce of the screw.
A magnet is embedded here to help ensure the bit stays in place. To use the bit driver, the bit is inserted in the cavity of the pliers that is created when the tool is closed. The knife blade itself is of average sharpness, and the D2 steel is standard fare.Īs a bit driver, the looming shadow cast by the SOG Reactor design follows this tool. After a few days of opening and closing it has loosened up slightly, but the black oxide finish of the knife blade has begun fading from the liner lock friction. In the closing motion, resistance can be heard and felt from the liner lock rubbing against the blade. While it is an assisted deploy knife, it requires a fair bit of force to actuate. The execution of the remaining tools is where the spark begins to fade for the Flash MT.
