 Wonderful Butch Tool March 11, 2007

Wonderful, like a bunch of toys in one, except it is for adults and is so very useful around the home especially when you are moving:-)

I just received mine after ordering from Amazon (after waiting almost a month!). It's a very solid tool, and it's lighter than the comparable Leatherman, which I was also considering. My only two complaints are that the scissors are very small - moreso than my previous Swiss Army Knife that was significantly smaller - and the knife is the combo-blade without a sharp point. Rating this tool down one star for this might be too much, though.
Locking tools are very nice, the case looks nice, and the bonus mini-knife is a good addition too.
Vic does it again -- ingenious, best-in-class tools at a reasonable price. January 23, 2007

After having owned and used Gerber Multipliers, a BuckTool, and several Leatherman's of all styles, 3 years ago I settled on the original Vic SwissTool as my Multi-tool of choice. Creative, robust design, with the best ergonomics in the industry. I purchased the Swisstool Spirit to keep one as backup to my old SwissTool. It's even more ergonomic, a little more compact, with the same excellent design. Great product, Vic!
A high quality tool. January 22, 2007

I've used many different multitools in the past - leatherman, gerber, SOG, and Victorinox - and while they all worked hard, some had more limitations than others. My most recent multitool prior to acquiring the Spirit was the Victorinox Swisstool X, which is a heavy duty tool that took amazing punishment for over 5 years. I love the Swisstool X but found it to be rather heavy in certain cirumstances, so I decided I'd give the Spirit a try. After a few weeks of use, I can say that with a single exception, the Spirit has been able to do anything the Swisstool X could do, and do it with far less weight and bulk. The only thing the Spirit lacks that I used extensively on the Swisstool X is the ruler engraved along the handles. Other than that, I've basically replaced the X with the Spirit with no regrets. As with all Victorinox products, the fit and finish on the Spirit is impeccable and is really in a league of its own in terms of quality compared to other brands. The leather sheath is classy looking, but tough and compact. The tools are well chosen and effectively designed; they lock of course as well, and can be accessed individually without having to open the tool. To keep a long story short, I highly recommend this fine multitool. Victorinox does it again!
A good all around multitool January 9, 2007

I bought the Swisstool spirit a few months ago to replace my old leatherman multitool. I had lost my leatherman, one of my favorite tools and immediately started looking for a replacement. I've always been a fan of swiss knives so I started there. For the price, the swisstool is competitive against the other brands. I loved the polished finish of the swisstool spirit. The only drawback to this is if you're like me and work with greasy things, it's hard to keep a grip. Otherwise, if you're using this as a plyer, the grip is very comforable and easy to work with. The other tools included in the Spirit are also top notch, although the lack of a straight blade knife can is lamentable. The serrated knife included in the Spirit is plenty sharp and will cut a bunch of things, just when it comes to sharpening it, you might have some trouble. The rest of the tools are easy to use and lockable, something my old leatherman didn't have. The locking mechanism is good, I have tried to close the screwdriver with the lock on and it didn't move.
The few nitpicks that I have about this tool may depend on the user, but to me the chisel included in this tool is very sharp, but so is the rest of it. So upon opening this tool, if you don't put your finger in the right place to extend it fully, you might end up cutting yourself. Some might find the file a bit too course, but that's why I have my swisschamp with me too. The scissors on swissknives are awesome, but the one on the swisstool spirit needs some work. Unlike the swisschamp and others whose scissor open fully, the spirit only opens about a quarter inch. And lastly the case is durable and should be able to last for a long time...except for the velcro snap. I wish they would have included a button for this, but I heard you can get someone to change it out.
Overall I love this tool. This tool feels substantial in your hands and you can use it almost all day without pain. Other than the little nitpicks, I reccommend this tool.
