Shout offerings are:
* - BN-60 Shout Bobbin Knotter (60g, the heavy version for lines PE 2.0- PE 8.0, http://fishhead.com.au/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=67&products_id=2232). Currently using this tool for PR between Jerry Brown 100lb solid to Shogun 200lb leader.
* - BN-76 Shout Bobbin Knotter Light (40g, for lines PE 0.8- PE 2.0 http://fishhead.com.au/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=67&products_id=2233).
* - 800BK Shout Bobbin Knotter II (They have a removable weight so that they can act as either 40g or 60g tool. http://www.shout-net.com/english/bobin/bobin2/bobin2.html) I probably would have got one of these if I had known they existed, however I'm unsure on their availability in Oz at present.
I haven't used any other Bobbin Knotter's however being new to the knot - I have seen half a dozen videos on the net that show their operation and they are simple and effective. I think the advantage of the Shout tools is that the have the clutch to allow you to fine tune the tightness of the backwards wrap section of the PR knot. But in saying that, wrapping the braid around the arms of a standard Bobbin Knotter xx times also acts as a clutch...
They are extremely well made; greased, oiled and ready to use out of the box...
Ahhh while I'm at it this is the only video I could find of the Shout Bobbin Knotter in use http://www.fishing.ne.jp/shout/bobin_siyouhouhou.html. For some reason, I have had to load the video twice to look at it each time.

Are these available anywhere, Steve?
EDIT... nevermind, just found it ;D
I think I prefer the Shout one, the SOM one looks like it's only designed for lighter line?
Eric Tai:
I'm still learning to tie the PR knot, but I don't understand how the SOM knotter would apply enough tension to the wraps. I was led to believe that with a normal bobbin there is supposed to be enough tension to keep the tip right up against the leader ensuring the wraps are nice and 'toight!'

Brandon Khoo:
I don't think the SOM tool is a PR knot bobbin. In fact, it is designed to tie a knot I'm sort of familiar with but has a different name to what they use. I can't remember what it is.

Also, as Jay points out, it seems to have been designed for light lines.
