We’re fans of SOG folding knives like the Flash II, and their multi-tools are built to the same high standard. Among those, the SOG Paratool stands out for offering a feature you won’t find on most other multi-tool knives.
The Paratool includes 15 different tools and a multi-angle plier that’s especially useful for reaching nuts and bolts in tight or awkward spaces. The plier can be set across a range of positions from about 140 to 180 degrees, allowing greater flexibility when working in confined areas. The handles are ventilated for reduced weight and better grip; they feel smooth to the touch while still providing a secure hold.
Compact yet versatile, the Paratool is designed for users who need more than the usual array of blades and screwdrivers. Its combination of tools and the unique adjustable plier makes it well suited for mechanics, outdoor enthusiasts, and anyone who frequently works in restricted spaces where a standard multi-tool might fall short.
Overall, if you want a distinctive, practical multi-tool, the SOG Paratool is worth considering for its build quality, thoughtful ergonomics, and the practical advantage of its multiple-angle plier.
