My wife bought this for me as a Christmas present and I really like little thing. The USB drive unclips from the housing which is nice. I really like the light but am not sure about the pen; I almost would have rather have had a toothpick or tweezers in it's place (the normal end of knife option). The only drawback that I have found with this is it's size (and the reason for one less star). I'm a bit picky what gets put on my keychain and have found this a little too big to feel appropriate in my pants pocket with my keys.

I recently bought this here for $67.99 - no discount. This has been ridiculously marked up and then "discounted". In reality, this is at best a 15% discount. Still good, but the 50% claim is misleading.

The product itself is great. Always useful, sturdy and well designed.

This thing is perfect for any college student. It's great! If I run out of printer paper at the last minute at home, I can just save my assignment on my usb drive and print it off at school. No more last minute emergencies.

This was a stocking stuffer for my husband. He has already found uses for all of the tools, and loves that the USB drive folds away for safety. He has used keychain drives for several years, and most include caps that fall off and get lost.

For the price of a 1GIG memory card, you get a "keychain mobile" usable swiss army knife and the ease and availabilty without the clunkiness of a single purpose memory card. I love this!

I purchased this item as a gift for a friend who has to try all new gadgets and gizmos. He tells me it is not only fun to show it off but is truly useful for transporting data.

I bought this for my father, who is not terribly computer savy. He will carry a knife on his key-chain, but never remembers a usb drive. Now, he will have one with him when he needs it, should the need arise. Also, the light is quite powerful and easy to turn on, which is good for his arthritic hands.

My husband eschewed flash memory until I gave him one of these...now he carries it with him all the time, as well as all of our company's backed-up data...and he wonders how he ever got along without it before. Get yours here: Victorinox 1 Gig flash memory.

It's always good to have a little knife or flashlight on you, but this memory stick comes up short. The biggest problems with the "Swissbit" was that it had its own software that supposedly helped you stay more organized. I've always thought this was a stupid idea since it's easy enough to make folders on your flash drives. The one good feature was that it could synchronize with your My Documents folder on your home computer. This dumb software proved disastrous when I plugged it into a Mac, and then couldn't open any of the folders. I was freaking out, especially because it had my masters thesis on it. I had to download a file recovery software program to get my files off of it. Plus, you could buy a little Swiss Army knife and a flash drive for probably $30 instead of the $70 or more that they charge for these things. That said, I loved having them integrated, and I'm always disappointed to not have a knife on me when I need it.

As of Christmas day, my husband will have used this item for a full year. He's a computer programmer, webpage designer, etc and this item gets full use EVERY DAY. He still loves it and won't leave home without it in his pocket! Just the other day the light went out and we are searching out a replacement battery, but other than that have had NO other troubles with it. I highly recommend this item and any other Swiss Army items. Top quality.
