    The new Reactor from SOG is a really interesting offering, with some flaws. But I can't wait to see those flaws fixed.

    I have many SOG products and think they are a great value. Thank you for being honest. These channels that get free stuff and say how wonderful it is even if it's crap really piss me off.

    Wow that's a total deal-breaker of a design flaw. Thanks for pointing that out Scout!

    thanks for the honest review. I don't know why you'd choose this one over a skeletool after watching this review. Skeletool is a proven tool for almost the same price.

    Very helpful points, thanks! I was thinking of picking one of these up, but I think I'm gonna stick with my Skeletool.

    Great review

  • @NeoWolfsOutdoorAdventures

    great review. I love it when you guys are honest about this stuff

    Very nice review. I'm happy to see you didn't just sing praises, as I might expect from someone who'd received a testing sample from a company.

    Good review. I have a skeletool, and wondered if i made the right choice, now I know I did. Thanks

    Thanks for the heads up. Recently lost my Juice J2. Need a replacement.

    I agree with you on the flaw but like the idea of it taking standard 1/4 inch 6mm bits so you can get the longer longer bit in there.

  • @JohnWaltz

    You can use any 1/4 inch bit with the SOG, as well as an extender, Both of which can be bought from SOG

    Thanks for the review. I might just stick with EDCing my Juice S2. I might still get it further down the road though... Only because it's still kinda cool.

    I was looking forward to your reviews on these new Sog multi tools after your Shot Show videos. I bought BOTH of these tools - the Powerplay is bad, the pliers are amazing, but eerything else on it feels super cheap, and the ergonomics on it are awkward all over the tool. The Reactor is super cool, but tiny. I ran into the exact same issue and Im really glad that you showed in such great detail; the spinning bits. They were really close on this tool, but missed the mark. I'm looking forward to your Powerplay video.

    Good review and I agree with you here and I'll even go a step more and add that a multi-tool like this should be of simple design.

    great video, I really appreciate the constructive criticism you offered up by not only pointing out the flaws but explaining a fix for each one. I was so excited for this tool after shot show and was looking forward to buying one to replace the skeletool in my edc rotation, having said that I will be holding off until sog makes some much needed adjustments too the reactor. great concept, great look and design but they didn't quite take the time that this thing needed with testing and qa. for now, leatherman wins again.

    I have had the reactor for a few weeks now. I didn't have a problem with the retaining pin being loose on mine. Also, I completely agree with you about the blade lock. When I carry the reactor in my pocket the lock always seems to be pushed to the unlock position. Other than that I love it. It works great with my EDC. Barely notice it in my back pocket everyday.

    I bought the Reactor because of your shotshow video.

    I wouldn't buy one of these now, and I'm looking for a new multitool, Leatherman for the win, again!

    glad I checked this out before I picked one up. really like the idea, but until at least the bit driver problem is fixed, it's a no go. Thanks Scout.
