GREAT QUALITY KIT

quality that lasts, sharpe blades that hold an edge, wonderful pliers.

No scissors (need the Swiss Tool X for that), expensive, heavy

Great bit of kit, but heavy. I usually take something smaller and lighter when walking (unless I suspect I will need pliers).

TRULY EXCELLENT

Just that....strength

could maybe do with scissors

I was the first person in Yorkshire to get my hands on one of these tools. After many years of hard service and truly strange uses (don't ask!!!) it is still as firm and easy to sharpen as the first day i got it out of the box. The only sign of wear is the Victorinox brand label is almost worn off the handle. Other than that it looks new. It has outlasted most of my friends Leathermans by some margin, indeed one friend has gone through 3 leathermans in the time i have owned mine and his present one looks as shabby as hell too!

WOULDN'T BE WITHOUT MINE

Quality you'd expect from Victorinox. Competative price. Feels solid, compared to the Gerber i had before, and is solid. Locking blades. Top quality build and materials. Not let me down yet despite some harsh treatment (and i don't expect it too!)

It's heavy but if you were being anal about weight you'd take a penknife and not a tool.

Mine's been abused - used on the hill, in the workshop...for anything and everything.Still looks and is as good as new.

I wouldn't be without mine!

STRONG AS AN OX AND VERY CAPABLE

Excellent build quality. Every blade locks so it's safe to use.
All the tools can be used without opening the handles.
Prices now coming down so even better value to be had.

Very heavy.
A bit ugly - definitely Germanic engineering vs a thing of beauty.

Excellent.
It's a 'knife/tools first, pliers second', compaerd to the other multitools which are pilers first, everything else second.
