Victorinox SwissTool

Descripción

No tool belt should be without its very own Victorinox Swiss Army SwissTool. The SwissTool was designed for ease of use, but doesn't compromise on durability or functionality. Individual springs hold the tools in place so you can easily access each one individually from the outside of the handle. The lock and release system is designed to lock each tool in place when opened, and release to fold away with a simple slide of the release button. The SwissTool is truly a handyperson's helper with a multitude of implements and available accessories; it's at your service when it's at your side. From lightweight design to its outside opening implements, there's not much the SwissTool can't do. Like all Swiss Army Knives, the SwissTool has a lifetime warranty, stainless steel implements and Swiss-made quality and durability.

I have used it daily for years and it looks brand new. It’s honestly a little uncanny. I have used other multi tools from Leatherman and SOG that were functional but fragile. They showed wear and tear within a year and became unusable within two. This multi tool works as well as the day I bought it. Truly confusing how they managed to do this. I don’t think I have ever owned anything as durable and well-built. Expensive, sure, but it is honestly the last multi-tool you will ever buy. Review: This is a very well made tool. Very nice construction, it has nice weight to it (Not too heavy, but decently heavy for its size which I like, shows quality in craftsmanship and materials) and a VERY solid feel. No loose parts wiggling around at all, even when tools and pliers are open. Everything clicks and locks into place VERY securely, I have had other Multi-Tools in the past from reputable brands and always found at least one part that isn't as tight as I wanted it, but this thing leaves me without complaints. Not surprising since it is from Victorinox, who make the original Swiss Army Knife(not to mention a nice selection of other knives and Milti-tools). It even reminded me of my old Swiss Army Knife I had as a kid, with a very familiar feel of quality when handling it and opening the tools. For those who may be confused, this is the SwissTool Spirit which has the "Combi-Edge" serrated blade, vs. the original straight edge blade with drop point found on the Spirit X. This is the ONLY difference between the two, as many people had complained about the non-traditional knife blade included in this particular version(the Spirit). I personally love the Combi-Edge blade, and chose this version intentionally. It basically looks like a serrated straight razor, and yes it is that sharp too! Almost looks like a mini bread knife, and I can see it being used to spread peanut butter on bread while camping, just for example. Don't be fooled, this isn't just a fancy butter knife, this blade is razor sharp and can be used to cut many things a straight blade would have trouble cutting due to the serrated blade. it also has a straight edge at the very bottom, where a normal knife would have a serrated bottom. Kinda reversed but unique and cool. It has a flat front with no sharpened point, which I can see some people not liking if they want a regular knife in their Multi-tool. I chose this version because I already carry a fixed blade, so I felt this more unique blade would serve more uses than a second knife. If you do not carry a knife, you may want to consider the Spirit X for its traditional straight edge blade. Every tool on this thing is super high quality and it has a nice variety, although it is mostly your basic multi-tool as you can see when reading the description(screwdrivers, scissors, file, saw, etc). The difference is this thing is built like a tank and it will last for generations (literally). I see some of the more modern designs from other brands have a wider variety of tools already included in the multi-tool(not separate; Many brands offer separate mini-sets of smaller tools including Victorinox), such as hex keys and smaller eyeglass screwdrivers, notably the Leatherman Charge Ti. I personally don't see the need for these extras on a daily basis, but it certainly is nice to have. I just go to my toolbox for those extras when I need them, and since I do not need them as often, I chose the Spirit for its higher-quality tools which are more suited for everyday needs, it has all that you need in a multi-tool and nothing you don't. If you have a use for these other tools on a more frequent basis, I would recommend the Leatherman Charge Ti. It also is a very well made tool, I was originally torn between the two. I won't go into detail about every tool, if you read the description you see what you get...but I would like to emphasize and stress the overall quality of this tool and everything included. The Phillips screwdriver is longer than many other multi-tools which is great, and you can open one side of the handle which snaps in place to give you much more reach. The scissors don't open very far, but they also don't move around, they stay in place with a piece of V-shaped metal vs. a spring. Nice touch. It opens enough to cut paper or fabric, but I do find it to be limiting. Not a deal-breaker at all, and they do feel nicer than many others I've tried. The pliers closed touch at the tip first, which some saw as a flaw; I see it as an improvement over other multi-tools, you can literally pick up a piece of hair with these. Some other models don't close 100% at the tip, leaving you unable to grasp thin objects. I know people aren't intending to use the pliers as tweezers, just something I liked about it and wanted to add. Overall this thing is tough, handy, sharp(each tool on it with an edge is very sharp, even the awl has a semi-sharp edge ideal for scraping), everything great you can say about a multi-tool. It also comes with a nice leather pouch that swayed me from keeping the tool in my knife's accessory pouch; I keep this on my belt in its own case. If you, like me, are torn between this and another multitool with more features, and you don't have a need for the less commonly used tools, then I would go with this one. You wont be disappointed, this is swiss-made quality at its finest.
