swiss tool vs swiss tool spirit?

The only Swisstool I have owned is the Spirit so I can't really tell you which is the best between them but my guess it that the original SwissTool is stronger because its much larger than the Spirit. As for which one to get I would get the one that you think is going to meet your needs better. Like if you want a smaller tool that can ride in your pocket more comfortably or want needle nose pliers then go with the Spirit. If you want a big heavy duty (heavy) tool that would probably need to be carried in the sheath then go with the SwissTool.
 
Victorinox Swiss Army SwissTool Spirit with Leather Pouch and Swiss Army/Victorinox Hat is currently ( 1/1/2005) $48.79 at Amazon.com.

However the Victorinox Swiss Army SwissTool RS is $59.88.

I have owned most every multi tool out there ( being a first responder for 30+ years ) and the two best for the money are the Victorinox Swiss Army Knife SwissTool RS and the SOG Powerlock S60 - don't waste your money on anything else - " Leather Guy" can't come close to an SOG or Victorinox in performance and Warranty!
