Opinions about new SOG PowerAssist...?

[slavpek]

Looking for new multi-tool. Stopped on this one. i'm interested to hear from people who have one (if it already for sale). Pliz reply only if you have/used/experienced one.

10z in advance.

Sorry slavpek, I don't think anyone here has one yet. Rumor has it that the PowerAssist won't be available for a few months yet.

A prototype of the PowerAssist was at the SHOT Show. Doug Ritter did a short write up on his site: http://www.equipped.org/shot_show_2007_knives4.htm (near the bottom of the page)

There are some images on the SOG website but the ones from the press section of the SOG website are a bit bigger. I uploaded them to Photobucket for convenience (the images are quite large so you may not want to download them if you're on dialup ):

Bob: few month?? i thought it's already available (january 2008)... well, thanx for information.
Perhaps you know some about the new PowerLock 2.0? Also if it possible to change the C-4 Punch with some other components?
