Baton Q4 (ID1031-CP)

Best, lightweight, multitool! I barely use my leatherman surge because I don't work in an environment that needs it and most of the time I just need to use the scissors. With this multipen I can now keep my pocket light weight and comfortable. I carry the skeletool cx, just in case, with this pen so I pretty much have everything I need with these two tools. Great quality a comes very sharp! the bottle opener is smaller than I expected, but it is also sharp; it can function as box opener. I love this thing! now I'm just waiting for the q3 to come out on amazon... I wouldn't recommend using this as your main pain, because the pen is weighted heavily on the top, but for a short session it's fine,

One thing I always do when buying on Amazon is I check a products bad reviews. For the SOG Baton the common gripes were loose for, crappy pliers, and dull blades. All of which I have not experienced with my Q3. It is very sturdy, the pliers are tight and stout, and I sliced both my thumbs. I barely touched the knife blade and got a nice slice with blood. I barely touched the chisel tool and got a real deep cut. Needed butterflies and a bandage to stop the bleeding. Mind you, I was just trying to open the tools when this happened. This I a nice tool and I work in an automotive factory and need tough tools. I definitely recommend.

SOG Q4 Multitool with Hex Driver set is a solidly built multi-tool with some unique features that impressed me. The unique way the SOG tool pulls apart to expose the pliers made deploying and stowing them a rather easy task. I found the pliers strong enough to easily hold and loosen all but the tightest nuts that ultimately required a socket to loosen. I also cut 14-gauge wire with no problem. Another nice feature I found was the ability to unfold and lock or fold and lock the knife with the push of a button on a spring lever. (My fingernails are saved trying to dig for the little tab.) On the other handle, there is a combination slotted/Philips’s bit that fits into a ratcheting bit holder. All of the supplied bits Very nice While there are good things about this tool, there are also some shortcomings concerning SOG Q4about the multi-tool, especially as it touts itself as an Every-Day-Carry (EDC) tool. To me, EDC means something you carry on your person every day. The long, slim profile at 7 inches and weighing 6+ oz. is difficult to carry. It is like walking around with a big, heavy screwdriver sticking out of your pocket. Other EDC multi-tools come with a belt sheath so it can be worn for EDC. THIS ONE DOES NOT. The case is approx. 1 1/4 inches square by 7 1/8 inches and houses the extra screwdriver bits. It would be good for a backpack or carry bag, but not on your belt or pocket. Although I will not use the SOG Q4 for EDC, I have found a place for it in the glove box of my car. You never only when you will need pliers, a screwdriver, or a knife

This SOG Pen/Scissors are great! Very sturdy and work great! The pen writes really well. It is a bit large to write with on a daily basis but it works great as a backup/emergency pen. The scissors are fantastic. VERY sharp and cut well. Because the baton was made out of metal, it feels very firm and high quality. The blades are on the smaller side and might take a couple of tries to cut through thicker rope/cord but they will get the job done. The bottle opener is a nice addition if you need that cold one while you are cutting/writing. Overall, I would highly recommend this tool!

oh sog how rarely you disappoint me! this was a really innovative concept and a nice thought but overall will not be my go to for multi toll purposes... things i liked - this is a heavy (a bit heavier than expected), well built and durable tool. i feel like i could use this as a backup hammer in a pinch and, as per usual, sog quality hardness. the carrying case with magnetic closure and extra bit holder was a nice touch although i wish that also had a clip or other carrying means on it. the tools and bits included are practical and nothing overly superfluous. the pliers have a good consistency and spring action to them with a surprising ease of opening and closing. definitely is a sog quality product for durability overall... however, those good points noted, here's what i disliked, found annoying, or was downright disappointed with - not sure if this is was just mine but handle tools were incredibly difficult to pull out. the pen blade in particular really needed to be pulled hard to the point where i felt i might break a nail in the process. the unlock button for tools deploys them all at once (or at least you must pull all out in order to get to whichever tool you need) and that i found annoying and unnecessary. the bit side buttons (it seems there are two) on other end were... confusing to say at best. one seemed to either not work at all or was simply poorly made and rendered it unnecessary... the second 'button' i have to admit i'm still not sure of its function even after reading the instructions...aesthetic appeal as an accent maybe? the carry case and extra bit holder is again, a nice touch, but would have loved to have a clip or other carrying method on it. also (baton must be closed to store in there) when pulling out baton the case is so snug it automatically opens the pliers, more of an annoyance than a serious problem though... maybe i'm just being overly picky but i've come to expect very high quality and function from sog so this was a bit of a let down for me. overall conclusion, beautiful to look at and never hurts to have an extra backup multi, but for function and practicality my leatherman will be my go to.

Light weight and easy to carry every day

Great product

The SOG Baton Q3 is great for EDC, but is a little bit heavy and the pliers is awkward to hold even for tightening of small nuts. Side tools are a little bit hard to open, but he plus side it has lock and comfortable to hold due to its long handle. Overall I give for stars easy carry w/ pocket clip.

It works

I use this bad boy everyday! Love it! Has come in handy to many times to count. Folds flat so fits in the pocket without taking up my whole pocket.
