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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mini Tool Kit - Stunning Usability and Utility, November 15, 2008

This review is from: Victorinox Swiss Army SwissTool Spirit Plus Ratchet (Sports)

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.

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.

This review is from: Victorinox Swiss Army SwissTool Spirit Plus Ratchet (Sports)

I was leaning towards the Leatherman Wave at first but after researching a bit more and looking at the features, I decided to go with the Swisstool Spirit. I have to say after using it I agree completely with all the positive feedback on this multitool. First off build quality is rock solid and typical Victorinox, there is no play on any of the tools and I would feel confident abusing it. On the other hand its also a very handsome looking piece of hardware with its polished finish so I find myself trying my best to avoid scuffing it up. The chisel and awl are sharp and good for precise work. I have no problem with the "butter knife" since I already carry a Spyderco Caly 3, it compliments a folder nicely and is sort of my beater knife for tougher jobs. Look for the Spirit S or X model for the plain blade if you want all in one convenience or do not carry a separate knife. Of course the main reason why I picked up the Swisstool were for the pliers. They feel solid and most importantly are very comfortable and ergonomic. Although the tip is blunt, they are precise and can actually be used as tweezers. The little Victorinox logo also adds a nice touch, a sort a badge of quality. The rest of the tools are the normal philips head, can opener/flathead screwdriver, file, saw and scissors you would find on Swiss Army knives. The scissors do not open up as wide as the normal ones on SAK but not a big deal to me since I hardly use it. Next, the accessories.. very cool and definitely worth the extra price. The ratchet set is convenient and easy to use. One thing I really like is that it gets into places a normal screwdriver wouldnt fit. Finally is the nice nylon pouch, it looks great and holds everything in one compact package where you can just grab it and get to work. In conclusion I would highly recommend the Spirit, you cant beat the all in one convenience of a multitool and especially Victorinox quality and lifetime warranty.
