3.0 out of 5 stars
Clever and Handy but not Swiss tough, February 9, 2006
This review is from: Victorinox SwissMemory 256 MB Flight (Translucent Ruby) (Sports)
I received this as a birthday present last year. I really like it, but it has drawbacks. It requires a battery for the light, of course but the battery goes bad in a few months, quicker than I expected. The pen dries out fast, I probably was able to write 10 sticky notes worth with it and it is now retired as a dull letter opener! It opens now instead of writing the letters... (sigh). It proved handy to have a usb memory key with me all the time, and it looks more MacGyver than Revenge of the Nerds, which is a plus. Airlines are familiar with this device too, and they just check to make sure there is no knife and then let it pass. Mine has started to come apart and I'm going to send it back to the store I was told it was purchased. It has only been dropped maybe twice... Overall neat presentation and handy combination of everyday "work" tools, but not perfected.
