About Swiss Army Knives
In 1884, Swiss cutler Karl Elsener set up shop in Ibach-Schwyz, installing a waterwheel in Tobelbach Brook to run his grinding and polishing machines. Thus began what would become the international brand name Victorinox, a combination of Victoria, for Elsener's mother, and "inox," or stainless steel. Today, Victorinox produces watches, luggage, clothing, and, famously, Swiss Army Knives. The original product dates to 1897, when Elsener patented the Swiss Officer's and Sports Knife he supplied to the Swiss Army. Following World War II, American servicemen and women shopping in PX stores shortened the name to Swiss Army Knife, which lives on in English-speaking countries around the world and has become a metaphor for versatility.

Mini Tool Kit - Stunning Usability and Utility - Reviewed on 2008-11-15

This is a Winner. I was not a big Multi-Tool fan, as I like to use the best tool for the job. The early Leathermans really didn't work for me with their poor ergonomics and tool design so I tuned out the initial multitool craze. I love my Swiss Army Knives, and when I started to learn even more about them, it just so happened that Victorinox introduced the Spirit, and 3rd/4th generation tool. I was totally amazed at the quality and design of this tool. It is easy to get at all the tools, it feels great in the hand and can really handle some tough jobs.

The plus version with the extra bit-kit really extends this useful tool to an everyday tool. It becomes essentially a little toolkit. you can go to for almost any need. There are spaces in the holder for extra bits so I added some smaller Torx bits there since I come across those quite often. Other might add larger bits, that they use often.

I actually now have 2, because I first bought it with just what is called the Bit-Wrench, rather than the Ratchet. I was not sure I wanted the ratchet because most of the times with a driver I don't need a Ratchet, and it can even be inconvient. However the Ratchet is GREAT! When you just want a driver, the end of the Ratchet handle is a bit holder so you can use it straight, and use the extension on the ratchet end if you need more torque. It's very versitile. It was hard to find a place to buy the ratchet separately, although the wrench is easy, so if you really want the wrench you can get it later. NOTE: the picture is currently wrong on this item, it shows the wrench, but the title says the ratchet is included.

Some people complain about the 'butter knife' shape of the serrated blade. For me this was a plus; my pocket knives all have spear-point or clip-point and I don't usually carry a serrated blade, so for me it's a welcomed new tool rather than being redundant. Cutting hoses, plant material, rope all work great when using this tool for house/yard chores. Check the Spirit 'S' and a new model coming if this really bothers you.

This is a medium sized tool; its size and the shape of the handles seem to suite people with small to medium hands better. For me this goes a long way to making this tool extremely comfortable to use.

Highly Recommended.

King of the supertools - Reviewed on 2008-08-02

I am a multi-tool fanatic - from Gerber to Leatherman, and everything in between. I used to work in a shop specialising in multi-tools and self defence blades and I have seen and tried them all. I've bought six and kept two.
The two I kept was the Leatherman Wave and this one. But why is the Victorinox better than Leatherman's best?

*Better design - hard to describe, but it is a lot easier to use
*Better quality - I'm already on my second Wave. They rust, the pliers and screwdrivers lose their shape and free play develops on the pliers
*Better size - the Leatherman is just too small (I have size 12 hands)
*Better accesories - the Swisstool comes with a nifty socket set which is incredibly user friendly. The Leatherman's has to be purchased seperately, is quite expensive, has to be carried in a seperate pouch and is embarrasingly clumsy
*More practical - bigger everything, better layout, more accessible, better selection of tools
*Safer - I've cut myself on more than one occasion while using the Leatherman's pliers, because it has sharp edges on the outside. One can use the Victorinox with confidence
*The Swisstool has a much bigger and stronger blade than the Leatherman, which is important, because you are probably going to end up using the blade more than anything else
*Sturdier pliers. The pliers on the Victorinox are really strong - I have yet to discover the limits of the Swisstool. The Leaterman is a lot flimsier.
*Better tactile quality - another hard-to-describe factor, but the Swisstool simply feels a lot better in one's hands
*Lifelong guarantee on the Swisstool. You can't beat that. Especially since you'll probably never need it anyway.

BUT: The Swisstool is much bigger and heavier than the Wave. So, if you wear a suit and an office job, the Wave might be better for you after all.

But I'm from Africa, living in the Middle East, and if I'm flying over or driving through the desert, and I may choose only one multi-tool to take with me, it would be the Victorinox, without a doubt.

Sturdy, reliable,versatile - Reviewed on 2008-06-20

The Victorinix multi-tools are dependable and sturdy. I would recommend this to a friend; indeed bought one for a favourite step-son.

My one suggestion would be a greater assortment of bits; he will be using it for everything from assembling dorm room furniture/decor tio computer repairs.

Very useful tool - Reviewed on 2008-06-05

This multi-tool is very cool. I work in networking and computers and I don't like carrying anything but my laptop, but I need to have tools on me. I bought this as a substitute for the tool bag I usually carry and it has been great. Although, it is Swiss Army and DID NOT COME WITH A KNIFE BLADE. Two saws and no KNIFE. Oh well.

best I have used - Reviewed on 2008-04-14

3 customers found this review helpful.

Both in the military and civil aviation, I have used a lot of different multi-tools, this one is the best, easy to open, locking blades, light weight, great warrenty- used it on previous swiss models. The ratchet is pretty good for tight spaces, needs some sockets to go with it.
