Good Morning,

QUOTE OF THE WEEK
Finish each day and be done with it.
You have done what you could. Some blunders and
absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as
you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and
serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered
with your old nonsense.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

subjects such as
assassination, forging documents, and preparing

SOG EOD Power Lock Multi-
Tool
Where multi-tools or utility tools are concerned, SOG
has long been an innovator in design. With the
introduction of the EOD Power Lock, SOG applied
compound leverage technology to Explosive Ordnance
Disposal - and other explosive work. Built on their
standard Power Lock tool, SOG added a crimper device
(for blasting caps, etc) and a hard-wire cutter.
