The SOG Powerlock has covers that close over the tool compartments which double as grips, to keep the sides of the handles from digging into your hands like on other tools. Instead of gripping two metal edges, you grip a flat surface. It is more comfortable than any other multi-tool I've tried.
The key feature of the Powerlock is the geared pivot. Unlike any other multi-tool, the pliers/wire cutter end is geared at a 2:1 ratio with the handles. Not only does this generate more power, but the mechanism also enables you to easily open and close the Powerlock with one hand.
Here's a pic that shows the covers (on the inside edges of the handles) and the gears:

$50 for one of these is a steal. The tools on the SOG are all very high quality. The knife on my Powerlock is the best knife I own.
