Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

From the renowned company that created the Swiss Army Knife a century ago comes the SwissCard Lite, an ultra-thin multi-tool that's an ideal tag-along accessory for users everywhere. The SwissCard Lite is roughly the size of a credit card, so you can easily fit it in your wallet or pocket. However, the SwissCard Lite performs a ton of tasks that your AmEx card can't, with such tools as a letter opener, a small set of scissors, a pair of tweezers, a straight pin, a pressurized ballpoint pen, and a magnifying glass. And that's just the beginning, as the device also includes such fix-it tools as 3mm and 5mm flat-head screwdrivers, two Phillips screwdrivers, an LED mini light, and a ruler that measures items in both inches and centimeters. In short, there's no better multi-tool for people who find traditional Swiss Army Knives a little bulky. The SwissCard Lite, which measures 3.25 inches long, carries the Victorinox lifetime warranty.

About Victorinox
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great little tool, September 21, 2005

I got this as a gift (although I had purchased a similar one) and I really like it. Yes - the knife is really only for package opening and such, but that suits my needs. The pen is tiny, so could be difficult for some people to grasp, but it works fine for those emergency situations. And the scissors are great! The other tools are good to have, falling into that category of you never know when you'll need them, but when you do you really need them.

This is a pretty cool way to carry a bunch of small tools.

Pros: Small, flat, attractive. The LED light is effective, the scissors and tweezers work well, despite their size.

Cons: I am worried that, stuck in my wallet, this will be considered a concealed weapon when I pass through an airport. The nice little knife inside is sharp enough to cause me problems there.

Also, the various screwdrivers that are part of this are quite small - too small to get much leverage when unscrewing something.

Bottom line: this is a fun toy, a great gift, but not necessarily a good travel companion.

I find these tools very useful. The only problem is at airports and forgetting I have it in my wallet.
