SOG Specialty Knives & Tools B63-N EOD PowerLock with V-Cutter, Black Oxide Review
![]()
After owning and loosing several leathermans i wanted some variety, the advertising was good so I leaped and got a sog power lock b-60 and sog 67 power assist E.O.D.
I had the power assist b 67 name engraved soooooooooo I use the b 60 for really hard down in the dirt work,, Do NOT use the tools to pry, as in can openner, and then pry lid up, just don't do it,, finish the can all the way around,, Do not use the phillips head screw driver as an alighnment punch,, mine broke, customer service was very quick to get me a new driver,, already installed it,( BUT IT STILL BROKE) I have a .00 winchester tool for the last 3 years that has only bent under strain, easily fixed at the next passing by a vice,,,,,,hmmmmmmmmmm,,,,, back to sog.. I really like how I can flip the pliers open 1 handed with the b 60, with the b67 I really like the one handed pliers and one handed ambidexterous blade opening and closeing,,,to me, any way the b60 power lock is a back up to my b67, in that due to my work at this time I deal with furniture, making, wraping and unwrapping, so I use the non serrated blade a lot, a few passes with my lansky type sharpenning kit and it's razors edge again,,,if I were in a true survival/hericane/earthquake aftermath situation this tool would do you very well, like anything, AS LONG AS YOU KEEP YOUR COOL AND THINK IT THROUGH.......
over all I am very pleased with the b60 and b 67, compared to leatherman, winchester, gerber, wenger ect
ect,,I have some fond memories of all of them, what works for you as the reviewer, get several brands in your hand and put them to hard work tests, you cannot go wrong having several multi tools, keeping our economy rolling,,,

Compound Leverage Technology and Explosive Ordnance Features Provide Easy, Safe UseDriven by an exclusive interlocking gear system, SOG's patented Compound Leverage technology is a legend in folding tools. With the proprietary technology's increased leverage, SOG pliers generate twice the power of their conventional counterparts, minimizing the amount of hand pressure that is required to get the most torque out of the tool.
SOG is the only company to apply Compound Leverage technology to EOD-specific (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) multi-tools. This technology makes the B63-N an ideal tool for crimping blasting caps and demolition cord with minimal hand pressure. The position of the crimper device within the handle is an EOD-specific feature unique to SOG. This design serves to minimize collateral damage to the crimper and allows you to have uninterrupted use of the plying surface (unlike other brands' tools). Additionally, the crimper produces non-flaring, high pull-out strength crimps that meet government fuse well specifications.
The B63-N is GSA approved.
Heavy-Duty Components Meet Military-Grade Needs
With over a dozen components, from pliers to screwdrivers, and industrial-grade, quality design, the B63-N includes everything a professional soldier or weekend warrior needs, including the first foldable 1/4-inch drive that can turn sockets and hex screwdriver tips (with the use of a standard adapter sold separately). Another hallmark of the B63-N is its V-Cutter that can be used to cut seatbelts, paracord, fishing line, electrical cable sheathing, and more.
Smart, Durable Design Ensures Years of Effortless Use
Like all the multi-tools in the PowerLock Series, the B63-N EOD PowerLock multi-tool can be opened and closed with just a flick of the wrist. Additionally, all of the tool's components lock open with the patent-pending Piano-Locks, which allow you to close components with a simple press.
The B63-N's stainless steel handles have a tactical black oxide coating for low reflectivity and are ergonomically designed to provide comfort on even the toughest jobs. Additionally, featuring SOG's PowerLock technology, the handles include pivoting covers that improve hand comfort allowing for additional pressure on tough jobs.
Even though the EOD PowerLock's durable construction features gear covers and hex bolts, the B63-N is surprisingly light, weighing just 9.6 ounces. Manageable enough to take anywhere, this multi-tool comes with a nylon pouch with belt loop for convenient portability.
This multi-tool is backed by a lifetime warranty that protects against defects in manufacturing and materials.
