Pocket PowerPlier questions

[Aux]

I just acquired an SOG Pocket PowerPlier. Nifty basic tool. I am curious on some of the differences between the Pocket model and it's bigger brothers.

Is the plier head on this model smaller than the one in the regular PowerPlier?

This Pocket model also has the plier jaws "tapered" on one side. In other words, one side is parallel with the handles, the other at an angle with the handles. Is this design unique to the Pocket model?

Here is some bad character art that attempts to illustrate the plier shape. Viewed from the side with the tool open:

/| <-- Plier head

|| <-- Handles

I carry a (Deluxe) Pocket PowerPlier and I find it to be an excellent tool that I find a use for every day.

I knew that SOGMann99 couldn't resist this thread...
Thanks Dann, since I know you have both you could answer this one. I only have 2 Powerlocks...
