Victorinox SwissTool Multitool- Spirit
September 26, 2007
Victorinox
has a long history of packing a lot of usefulness in a small package, normally
though in the form of a red handled knife. Well that same innovation and
design excellence that goes into their pocket knives is now available in the
Multitool the SwissTool Spirit. This latest foray into the land of
Leatherman is impressive and puts Swiss ingenuity completely on display. The
original Swiss Tool was introduced in 1999 and was very successful. This
latest offering though has a better overall feel, has a more stylish look, is
lighter and features 27 functions. The functions are as follows:
- Needlenose pliers
- Cutting blade
- 2mm screwdriver
- 3mm screwdriver
- 6mm screwdriver
- phillips head screw driver 1,2
- scissors
- bottle opener
- can opener
- wire cutter for thin wire up to 40 HRc
- hard wire cutter
- wire stripper
- wire bender
- wire scraper
- crate opener
- metal file
- metal saw
- wood saw
- punch and reamer
- chisel
- length cutter
- hook
- coupling for corkscrew
This Swiss multitool comes complete with a lanyard hole, lock release and a
leather or nylon pouch. This knife is available in a two bladed version
(without the scissors).
The SwissTool Spirit is also available in the "Plus" Model which features a
case, bit wrench, mini screwdriver, corkscrew and set of bits. The Plus
version is also available with a ratchet and extension bar instead of the bit
wrench, mini screwdriver and corkscrew.
This model is over a third lighter that the original version at 205g
instead of the previous 285g. And with the very stylish leather pouch,
this model makes a nice carry and the perfect tool gift for a man this
Christmas.
