Ive never owned either, I have a companion multi tool, which I think is made by craftsman...replaced by the evo line if im not mistaken. I know that most people that Ive talked to have Leatherman, but which is better and why?
Looks like a good multitool. Personally after losing a black oxide Leatherman after dropping it in the woods i perfer silver ones. I've owned Gerbers and Leathermans and i do tend to lean towards Leathermans.My dad has a leatherman, and i like it, but I was looking into the powerlock eod seen here http://sogknives.com/store/B63.html. I like it because of the V-Cutter for seatbelts and things. Also i don't know about Leatherman, but Sog has replacement parts that seem to be easy to replace and switch out (screwdriver for scisors, vice versa)
I have an awl on my swiss army knife, what exactly can that be used for?I have a sog power assist.
On mine I switched the can opener and v cutter for the wood saw and an awl.

Is that all it is for? I'd probably get rid of that for something else. Keep it in storage for later use tho...An awl is handy for drilling holes
I put a lot of thought into the tools that I wanted. One drawback to the power assist is that it only has 6 slots for tools. I do a lot of "in the field" fabrication.Is that all it is for? I'd probably get rid of that for something else. Keep it in storage for later use tho...
The one Im looking at is the Powerlock EOD. It has 22 tools, i counted and it looked like 10 can be replaced (not sure of the count). Im still wondering what to add and take off.I put a lot of thought into the tools that I wanted. One drawback to the power assist is that it only has 6 slots for tools.

My tool list is: saw, flathead screw driver, Phillips head screw driver, file, awl, and can opener. I figured that if I need to open a bottle I could use the pliers. If I need the v cutter I could use the knife.
There are several tools to choose from though, depends on what you think you might need to do with them.
