What exactly are their purpose?Has anyone just dumped them & if so did it affect the SOG in any way??
Thanks.

The wings on the PowerLock are actually covers that make using the tool more comfortable. They can be removed without affecting the operation or usefulness of the tool. I have tried the tool both ways and they really do make a big difference in the comfort in your hand. Just my 2 cents.

...You're right... :o they're there to help them swim... :D :eek: :rolleyes:
 
The wings make it more comfortable on the hand when using the pliers. I've been using the Powerlock for a little over a year on the job. I have removed the wings for short periods of time. The wings improve plier comfort tremendously.

On the down side, the wings slow access to the tools, but for me I prefer having them than not.

On the plus side, the phillips driver is really durable. I use it almost every day and it's still serviceable. It's also sized to fit almost any size phillips head.
