SwissTool Evaluation

[JOOLIESEWS]

I know a lot of you guys are already familiar with Equipped To Survive. I was poking around there today and ran across this evaluation of the "new" Victorinox SwissTool. It was apparently written back in 1998, but the points are well made and still valid seven years later.

The remaining tools are pretty much standard Swiss Army fair. There are four standard screwdrivers, if you include the little one at the end of the can opener. That one is always questionable since it is so stubby and at the end of a wide hunk of metal, so it is often unusable.

Did they not catch that the can-opener driver is great for larger phil screws? I missed that one on my SAKs for a while

Also, they talk about the rounded edges on all the drivers. That is easily fixed with a good stone, so I don't consider that a problem.

There are some really nice reviews of the swisstool somewhere in the review secton of BF too.

(especially this extensive review and comparison)

For me, the Swiss Tool is the ONLY multi tool.
