What our customer's say!

"Great and very useful", Comes in very handy, nice carrying pouch and is high quality. I would spend the extra money for the RS that has more tools if you plan on using this a lot.

"Perfect for everyone!", Being a carpenter, a tech for my school's theater, a cyclist, and a paintballer this multi-tool is used ALOT. It is by far my most used tool, and I have a full work shop.

Pros:
1. I have been using it for 2 years now and never once had a problem with any of the tools.
2. The pliers are very strong and easy to grip while being used as pliers.
3. The scissors, my most used tool, are still very sharp after years of use. I have used them for cutting gels (for stage lights), paper, tons of plastic bags, finger nails, and MANY more things yet they are still very sharp. Just the other day I very stupidly, while cutting a plastic bag full of screws, ran the scissors into my figure and got a small, but deep cut in my middle finger.
4.The wood saw almost never comes in handy while building (I prefer my larger saws), but still comes in handy. My favorite use was once while paintballing my pants got tangled on a torn bush and I couldn't pull myself free so I used the saw to cut though the bush and free myself without getting shot in the proses.
5.I really like the locking mechanism for the tools, holds strong and easy to release.

Cons:
1.The only straight edged blade is about an inch long, not very useful.
2.Sometimes can feel large on my belt while biking, but the reassurance of having it is great.
3.The file like to get a layer of dirt between the teath, but still works perfectly, just looks dirtiy.

"EN APUROS, AQUI LA TIENE", ES UNA HERRAMIENTA QUE LO SACA DE APUROS, CON MUY BUENOS SERVICIOS LA RECOMEINDO PARA USO DIARIO

"Great tool even better value", Very Important update. I was using the phillips screw driver today and cut myself pretty badly on the file while it was closed. The file has a sharp edge that your thumb can slide over when pushing on the screwdriver. I fixed this by filing down the file. Still love it.

I, like most of the reviewers, own a lot of multi tools. I've been a leatherman fan and still am but this Spirit tool is making me think I need to change that. It feels a little more well built than a leatherman. I know that's not very specific but it just does. I also am surprised by the size. It is clearly longer than a wave or charge but it is slimmer in every other way. I also think the smooth sides is an advantage in your pocket. I don't find it convenient to wear a knife and this one seems to come out of my pocket better. As for the tools. They seem more refined than a leatherman. The edges that should be sharp are really sharp and the ones that should be smooth are. The tools also seem to be made of better steal. The lack of a bit changer as on the wave is a plus and minus. I think it gives the leatherman a little more flexibility but I don't know how many times I couldn't fit the Phillips head on the leatherman into the place were the screw is and had to go get a screwdriver. That will not be as big a problem here. The Phillips is long thin and sturdy. The hacksaw is much better and the files seem sharper, but the diamond file on a leatherman is a good tool I will miss. The scissors are much sturdier and longer and again feel like better steel was used. The lock release is really smooth and you can easily do this one handed. You can't however open the knife without using two hands. This isn't a killer but would have been nice. The blade itself is strange but incredibly sharp and actually great for a lot of things like lunch time activities apple or bread cutting or spreading mayo. I don't find myself stabbing stuff very often so the lack of a point is more odd than missed. The blades design seems very strong and while not made of 134A or some other exotic steel is really great at actually cutting. The pliers are really great. They don't meet until the tip so you can really pinch something that the end something the leatherman is not good at. The other really big plus is the wire cutter is just a little bigger than a wave's and will cut all the way through a wire tie. The leatherman leaves a little nub that I have to cut again. The bottle/can opener is much better. I don't open a lot of cans with my knife but I do find the tool useful for a lot of other things. This one is much stronger and would actually open a can much faster and easier. I broke my leathermans not opening a can but something it should have handled. All and all a great knife and with more tools than a leatherman a better quality feel. Leatherman seems to focus on the steel of the blade and not the tools. I would highly recommend this tool and think its probably the best value. Though I got it on sale for about $50.

"Best of two worlds.", Over the last 50 years I have tried every multi-tool that hit the market. Most of the good ones were at least in the $50.00 to $175.00 range. The Leatherman Crunch is a must but I had to carry a Vitorinox Champ the get the other needed tools. This Vitorinox multi-tool has put it all together.
Of course, I carry it along with my Crunch. Ever try to tighten a nut and bolt when you can only secure one side? With these two on my belt I can repair 90% of the every day "fix its" with dragging out my tool box. This is a well thought out, well made tool that is worth every penny and then some. By the way, 26 of those 50 years was in the army and in the boonies.

"A Perfectly Crafted Tool", Recently, I had the chance to handle Leatherman's Charge TTi, which could be considered their premier model. Although it was definitely of high quality, its movement and feel was more clunky than expected. The Swiss Spirit, on the other hand, has a movement like no other - totally fluid and precise. As someone who has already handled several of Victorinox's Swiss Army Knives, I thought I couldn't be "wow'ed" anymore by their quality, but this tool exceeded my expectation. It's great for home repair, electrical work, and outdoor excursions.


A few notes on the design:

The locking tools are the highlight for me. Every tool locks into place when extended; the mechanism is easy to operate yet very effective.

The tool itself is fairly small and relatively lightweight yet solid. For such a small size, it embodies a good combination of functionality and versatility, and it fits my hand perfectly (average sized guy's hand).

It should be noted that the pliers move very freely and do not stick, spring back (into an open position), or hold their position. Some might count this as a negative, but I believe its functionality to be, nevertheless, unhindered and, perhaps, favorable.

The tools themselves cover a wide range of on-the-job necessities, that have already come in handy in numerous situations - I do some light carpentry and construction on occasion and regular yard work.

The carrying case is also a major plus. Although the tools are stainless steel, anyone who knows their steels can tell you that even stainless steels can rust when neglected. The case is made of a fairly thick brown leather with a velcro closure that should shelter the tools from the weather and general neglect. I personally love the look of it too - very classic/timeless styling.

All in all, I can't see how anyone could think they made a bad purchase on this item. I was on the fence for awhile, did a little research on the tool, debated about buying it some more, and eventually figured it wouldn't kill me if I got it... and I'm glad I did... and you will be too.

"I Love it!", Great selection of tools. So far, the only tool that I needed that this handy multi-tool did not cover was a pipe wrench. I didn't really buy it for that use and did not expect to use it for that. Product is strong and durable. I use it on a daily basis, so it gets alot of use.

"No pen knife, that's fine!", I love everything about this tool! At first I thought that I'd have to still carry a pocket knife w/ me since this doesn't come with a traditional pen knife, but I was wrong. The knife that is in this tool is very sharp, cuts well and does about anything a regular pen knife does. Very good quality.

The only down size I have found is that it is a bit on the heavy size.

"Exudes Quality But Its Blunt Blade is an Ugly Duckling", I own Leatherman multi-tools including the new Wave, Pulse, Juice S2, Skeletool CX, Micra, Squirt S4, and Squirt P4. I also own about 20 Victorinox Swiss Army Knives ranging from nearly all the recent Alox models and many cellidor models including the old Champion, Swiss Champ, Swiss Champ XLT, and Cybertool 41. After owning all of these types of pocket knives and multi-tools, I can say that Victorinox makes the highest quality, highest consistency multi-tools and pocket knives. (Don't get me wrong, I like Leatherman a lot as they make well-designed tools, too. But the consistency is lacking with Leatherman when compared to Victorinox.)

The primary strengths of the Vic SwissTool Spirit include:

All locking tools
Access to tools with the pliers in the closed position
Presence of scissors (which distinguishes it from the Spirit "S" model)
Reputation of extremely good corrosion resistance
Chisel (which is unsual in any multitool)
Extremely good wood saw (better than Leatherman)
Very light weight for its size (only 5.5 oz)
Premium brown leather case (best case I've seen that comes with a tool, only downside to the case is that it cannot be worn in the horizontal position on a belt)
Extremely attractive with highly polished metal handles and tools
Extremely comfortable handles for pliers

There are downsides, however, and they are in my opinion:

"Butterknife" shape of the only blade (it does NOT have the familiar drop point that Victorinox usually uses in their SAKs or MTs)
Serrations on that blunt blade take up most of the length
Plain edge is a very small part of the blade near the joint
Philips screwdriver that needs to be squared off as it slips quite easily
Scissors are tiny (and smaller than any other multi-tool I own listed)

The Vic Spirit exudes quality and precision crafting. People are always split on their opinion of the blunt, "butterknife" shape of the main blade. I dislike it. The serrations are also in the front of the blade, rather than the back part like most other brands. The serrations can be ground off, however.

If you want a drop point blade, then you can get the Spirit "S" version which substitutes a drop point blade, but removes the scissors.

"Slim, Light, and Excellent", I have never owned a multi-tool before. I did a lot of research into what tool would be best for me. I wanted a variety of tools that would be useful in day to day work as well as on a camping trip or on the trail. The SwissTool Spirit, the SwissTool RS, and the Leatherman Core were at the top of my list. I had the opportunity to try each of these tools out at local stores and the Spirit was clearly the tool for me. With all the same quality and functionality of the RS and Core, the Spirit comes in a small, sleek design that fits the hand perfectly in both open and closed positions. This is not a bulky and complex tool. It is elegant and fuctional. I highly reccommend this tool to anyone looking for a high quality munti-tool with all the might of a larger tool in a smaller package.
