SOG Flash MT Multi-Tools

The SOG Flash MT features seven tools: needle-nose pliers with standard jaws and wire cutters, a bottle opener with a flathead screwdriver tip, and an assisted-opening knife blade. It also includes an integrated bit driver with a 1/8 inch bit stored directly in the handle.

The blade on the Flash MT is made from D2 tool steel, which offers superior edge retention compared to the basic stainless steels typically found on multi-tools. The blade features a thin geometry that excels at slicing and is secured by a sturdy liner lock mechanism.

The Flash MT is often compared to tools like the Leatherman Skeletool due to its focus on a primary blade and pliers, but it stands out by offering SOG's compound leverage technology for increased gripping power. You can explore similar options in our guide to finding the best multi-tool for EDC.

Yes, the Flash MT is specifically designed for portability with a slim, stamped frame and a built-in pocket clip. It also includes a lanyard point for those who prefer alternative carry methods, making it one of the more pocket-friendly multi-tools in its class.

The assisted-opening D2 blade on the Flash MT features a liner lock to ensure it stays securely open during use. However, the bottle opener and screwdriver tip tool are non-locking, so users should apply pressure carefully during use.

SOG's compound leverage uses a gear-driven pivot point for the pliers that generates more travel for the handle relative to the plier movement. This mechanical advantage provides significantly more cutting and gripping power than standard pliers of the same size.
