I just ordered my PowerLock an hour ago, and I've heard that the PowerLock is really easy to take apart and re-arrange the tools. Some people have said that you can also buy tools and add onto/replace the original ones. This sounds like a great idea, but I can't find any where to buy extra blades. I checked the SOG site but I couldn't find anything. Anyone have a web site that sells these blades?

E-mail SOG at Retail@sogknives.com or you could also call them at 888/sog-best (888 704-2378).
Here is an example of some of the available tools,
Socket adapter for universal hex drive, wrench kit, scissors, plain edge, fully serrated blade, serrated line cutter.
I believe (prices subject to change) most tools are about $6.50 to $7.95
hope this helps,

The serrated line cutter (the only one that is a little 'different') is a wavy-serrated blade with a gut/cutting hook on the inside. i.e. the wavy blade goes right up to the edge of the hook. Comes dull, but is easily sharpened.
They also have a robertson driver.
Note that some of these add-on tools are for the non-locking powerplier. The only difference is that you need to add a notch for the lock.. just line up another tool that has the lock and file the notch with a thin file (a Swiss-army knife file works great for this).
The bolts are hex bolts and easy to remove. Use _medium_ (blue) loctite to secure the bolts when done, then they can easily be changed again.
I also found that it takes some re-arranging... the longer thicker tools must be on the outsides of the handles, so they don't get in the pliers' way when closed. I also found that the aluminum 'wings' can have sharp corners.. fix these with your SAK file also...

I did not know about the wrench kit, can someone describe it? Thanks,
P.S. CALL SOG for replacements etc, email is a slow response...

The wrench kit is the tool used for removing the hex bolts on the powerlock nothing real fancy, they just say SOG on them.
Also you said that E-mail is a slow way to deal with it I dissagree. The saw on my powerlock was defective so I sent an E-mail to their warranty department, and within 2-3 days I had a new blade and I live on the east coast.
Hows that for customer service.oh.. I thought it (wrench kit) was another add-on. 
The email was slow for me and others, maybe they're doing better now. Either way, phone is nice because you can ask about different options...
Note: SOG sells a nylon sheath that is horizontal mount. Works very well.

Hey klattman, you don't by any chance remember how many $$ that nylon sheath costs do you?klattman said:oh.. I thought it (wrench kit) was another add-on.

Hi,
If you go to this website, you'll see some of the accessory blades and the wrench set used to take the Powerlock tool apart

Hope this helps.

I don't remember but probably in the neighborhood of 10-15.00. It was reasonable. It's not molded, just a square sheath that the PLock easily fits in. Since it is squarish, the corners are unused. It says SOG in big white letters, which I filled in with a black marker.
