PT-540 (supersized SOG Powerlock)

[carl]

Who has one? Any comments? Its a POwerlock based design but larger with more tools (directed at the telecom community) and is larger than a leatherman Surge! see link from Multitool forums.

I don't have one, but here's a link to some more info.

I've had one a few months, but have not used it all that much. I did replace the punchdown tools with other implements (and then had to do a job where I needed a punchdown tool). As others have noted, it's big and the implements are still the standard SOG length, although the four outside ones could be 1/2" longer. The little stop for the wire strip function on mine has a tendancy not to stay up in place, so I don't use it much and just strip wire by "feel". I have not used all the functions yet, and some are questionable, like the hex wrenches in the handles. More often than not, when I need to turn a bolt, it's in a corner or near an obstruction.

Mahoney, thanks for your feedback - it was helpful and kinda solidified some thoughts I had on it.

I have one and love it! Use it everyday! The punchdown tools and the hex bolt sockets come in very handy on the sub!
