SOG Multitool with Hex Driver Set - Baton Q4 EDC Multi Tool Kit with Pliers, Pocket Knife, Torx and Hex Screwdriver Set with 12 Bits (ID1031-CP)

The Q2 is definitely my favorite of the SOG Baton series. I also own the Q3, which I had high hopes for, but found the Q3 to be bulkier than I expected, and also had the problem of the handle sliding down onto the pliers when you try to use them (Q1 and Q4 have the same problem). But the Q2 is GREAT. I admit, one of the things that attracted me to it, is that it looks a bit like a sonic screwdriver from Doctor Who. Since it has a light, and literally IS a screwdriver, I reckon you could call it a photonic screwdriver! I really like the look of it closed, with the gear pivot. The light is decent, I love that it takes a common AAA battery. Twist to turn on. If you twist it just shy of "on," you can do momentary on/off by pressing your thumb against the side of the bezel. The screwdriver/bottle opener works well, and makes a satisfying "click" when you open and close it. The knife is a decent usable size, keeps an edge. With practice you can deploy and close the knife one-handed pretty quickly. Most people will not realize this is a knife, either. And if you hand it to them, it will take most a while to figure out how to open it. I have a lot of fun fidgeting with the Q2, opening and closing it, flipping it in the air, twirling it in my fingers. It is currently the tool I carry the most, and I definitely use it on a daily basis. I like it so much, when I thought I lost it, I had to immediately get another one. Then I found the old one! Keeping the new one as a backup, though. I love the Q2!

Great handy tool to carry around daily. Sharp and nice size blade. Bright fkashlite and battery life is good. Well built and sturdy. I thought I'd want a phillips screw driver instead of the flathead it comes with. But I've found that it works on phillips head just as nice. I've been carrying it in my back pants pocket and using it every day for 6 months now. And is as tight and works like the day I received it.

The Q1 is really well built and is hefty in hand and feels strong enough for a defense baton if needed. I did switch the ink cartridge because I wanted black ink, but the included blue worked well and smooth. The clip is firm and stays on your pocket without worry of falling out if inverted, and the screwdriver/opener are great to have when needed. The scissors are nice and snug and work without wobble. Opening and closing the scissors takes a bit of practice, and it feels like hyper-extending the scissors open, then the ends close easily. The problem I found is that when cutting thicker materials, there's a tendency to want to push forwards and the handles collapse inward making you re-extend and start over. The open-detent for the handles needs to be stronger. It's a great tool with good functions to carry along, and is travel compliant which is great. I've been bringing it along to theme park trips so we have scissors for opening packages and removing merch tags. Pretty nice and fun to carry along.

If you needed to hold a flashlight and a knife in one hand, there was basically one option on this Earth. This marvelous tool has been discontinued, and so that must now be updated to NONE. So this is the only option for anyone needing to power a battery operated radio and having to open the battery pack while standing amidst waters, and that option has now been lost to history. So good luck fellow basement dwellers. Good Luck. If your basement where you dwell fills with water as it sometimes may and you need to listen to some talk radio before you leave, you're basically going to have to just give up on car talk until you can see the light because we all know how hard it is to open a package of batteries by hand. I'm sorry. I bought the last one. Also: what if you need to cut cheese in a power outage? What if you want to cut string off of your clothing while simultaneously blinding a friend? What if you forget your EDC? What if your flashlight is too big to fit in your pocket? What if you don't have teeth that you feel are strong enough to hold either the flashlight or the knife? You will have to choose, as I've previously mentioned, I have acquired the last of these fabled artifacts, however I will be glad to share it with you for a considerable markup.

Pros: Compact, easy pen refill, sharp scissors, bottle opener works great! Elegant design perfectly conceals multi tools, easy carry! Cons: Heavy and clumbersome to write with compared to average pen.Scuffs up easily. Scissor Handel's can collapse during use because sog Q series did not think to add locking mechanism for handles. Overall : If you find yourself needing a pen, scissors, and bottle cap opener often this is a must have item. Especially at the discounted price of 21.00! Worth more to me.

oh sog how rarely you disappoint me! this was a really innovative concept and a nice thought but overall will not be my go to for multi toll purposes... things i liked - this is a heavy (a bit heavier than expected), well built and durable tool. i feel like i could use this as a backup hammer in a pinch and, as per usual, sog quality hardness. the carrying case with magnetic closure and extra bit holder was a nice touch although i wish that also had a clip or other carrying means on it. the tools and bits included are practical and nothing overly superfluous. the pliers have a good consistency and spring action to them with a surprising ease of opening and closing. definitely is a sog quality product for durability overall... however, those good points noted, here's what i disliked, found annoying, or was downright disappointed with - not sure if this is was just mine but handle tools were incredibly difficult to pull out. the pen blade in particular really needed to be pulled hard to the point where i felt i might break a nail in the process. the unlock button for tools deploys them all at once (or at least you must pull all out in order to get to whichever tool you need) and that i found annoying and unnecessary. the bit side buttons (it seems there are two) on other end were... confusing to say at best. one seemed to either not work at all or was simply poorly made and rendered it unnecessary... the second 'button' i have to admit i'm still not sure of its function even after reading the instructions...aesthetic appeal as an accent maybe? the carry case and extra bit holder is again, a nice touch, but would have loved to have a clip or other carrying method on it. also (baton must be closed to store in there) when pulling out baton the case is so snug it automatically opens the pliers, more of an annoyance than a serious problem though... maybe i'm just being overly picky but i've come to expect very high quality and function from sog so this was a bit of a let down for me. overall conclusion, beautiful to look at and never hurts to have an extra backup multi, but for function and practicality my leatherman will be my go to.

Pen, scissors, standard screwdriver with bottle cap lifter all in one simple compact package. First of all, its a SOG!! I have several tools from SOG and this is the newest addition. I previously overlooked the baton but lately I've been carrying less and less adapting a minimalist lifestyle. So naturally I was drawn to this. I use a pen and scissors from my Swiss Army Knife on a daily basis. I liked the simple opening of the Q1 as opposed to the SAK. There are a few negative reviews with regards to closing this baton. Some have complained that the scissors simply won't stow correctly. Really?!? It couldn't be more simpler. There are two little lines on the hing that must be lined up on order to slide the two halves together. Some have complained that it's too difficult. The motion is like hyperextending an elbow joint until it locks into place. Then you slide the halves together. Perfect for light duty cutting. Cut thru a credit card, small zip ties, price tags, etc. Extremely satisfied.

This tool is perfect for carrying around in my day bag or even in my pocket while at work. I purchased this tool after looking at a few multi-bit driver multi tools. I ended up going with the SOG because it’s a reliable name, it has a ratcheting bit driver, and it comes with the largest selection of bits from the ones I looked at. This tool fit the niche I needed it for; I work in an office as an IT assistant and am often times needing a knife to open boxes, or needing a screwdriver for opening up computers to replace hard drives, RAM, and the likes. The multitude of bit drivers are helpful for unscrewing small pc parts, and the small knife is perfect for opening boxes. The only drawback to this item that I’ve found is the pliers. The pliers themselves are really good quality and work great, until you have something to grip that is wider than about a half inch. I’m not sure if anyone else has mentioned this, but at that point, the handles tend to slide up on one or both sides. Perfectly fine for small bolts or stripping wires, but if you’re trying to hold on to something tightly, having handles slide up on you can ruin your grip. Overall, this was a fantastic purchase, and I would absolutely buy another one. This would make a great gift for a son’s birthday or for Father’s Day. The only thing I would change is possibly adding a locking mechanism on the handles to keep them from sliding too easily.
