Although multi-tools are common in EDCs for their versatility, they aren't always the easiest to use. The SOG PowerPlay, on the other hand, offers easy access to its tool set thanks to its one-hand-opening design. For example, you can reveal the pliers and wire cutter with a simple flick. What's more, SOG's compound leverage system eases the amount of pressure you have to exert when using the pliers.

You can also deploy the tools in the PowerPlay's handles with a single hand as well, without having to flick the whole tool open. From there, you have access to a wide array of EDC essentials: straight-edge and serrated blades to various screwdrivers and a bottle opener.

SOG's even made carrying easier by including a nylon sheath. It's an ideal multitool for EDC, especially for those looking to consolidate their carry with the convenience of single-handed access. You can pick up one of your own at the Amazon link below.

Jonathan Tayag is secretly an information technology and corporate security expert who prefers to moonlight as a creative event and commercial photographer whenever possible. His varied experience and substantial travels have led him to seek, without even thinking about it at first, the best gear for the best use at the best price available. Before the concept of EDC (everyday carry) firmly took hold, Jonathan already spent untold amounts of time optimizing for the best-in-slot pieces of gear, from cameras and lenses to pocket knives, pens, and bags and packs. In November 2015, Jonathan joined EverydayCarry.com and has since written numerous articles and guides to help impart his knowledge to the community as a whole.

Jonathan's photographic works have appeared on numerous online websites, print, video, and television outlets for over a decade. Jonathan's previous clients include Blizzard Entertainment, Red Bull, ESL, Razer, and several other endemic and non-endemic esports sponsors and brands. His work also features heavily in online competitive gaming communities, especially those of the StarCraft and Fighting Game genres. You've likely seen his work if you've spent time in a stream or in-game chat over the years.
