History: Pocket PowerPlier

Jaws

Needle Nose w/wirecutter

Variations

The PPP is produced in Matt/Polished stainless steel, Black Oxide and Titanium Nitride (TiNi).

In addition to these color variations, there are two distinct production cycles of the Pocket PowerPlier. The old style is identified by hex head bolts and the older, more rounded plier head with a larger bolt gripping section (see photo). The old style tools are 100% made in the USA. When SOG shifted production of their tools to China, the Pocket PowerPlier saw some changes. These new style tools can be identified by the Allen key screw pivots, and the new, pointer plier jaws with a smaller bolt gripping area (see the Black Oxide Pocket PowerPlier in the picture). These tools were made in China, but assembled in the USA. There is no noticeable quality difference between the China made and US made tools.
