Sports reviews of Victorinox Swiss Army Deluxe Tinker, Red

Customer Review: Victorinox Deluxe Tinker - in my pocket for 15+ years
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

This is truly a "don't leave home without it" tool. I have used the Deluxe Tinker every day since I've had it for *something* or other; I was heartbroken when I lost my old one, even though the plastic covering had cracked and would no longer hold the toothpick or tweezers securely. (Perhaps it lost itself -- trying to send me a message?) The knife was originally a Father's Day gift, and I think of my son giving it to me every time I use it.

Between the screwdrivers, scissors, pliers, tweezers, and awl, there isn't much you can't do with this knife. I keep the small blade razor-sharp for emergencies, and use the big blade for every-day tasks, occasionally having to carve copper, aluminum or other abusive materials. The pliers can cut fairly large gauge wire with the notch at the base of the jaws, and using a knife to strip wire is almost as good as having 'real' wire strippers (if you're careful). I even used the knife to 'jump' a discharged AA cell (for a microphone) from a 9V battery once.

The only thing I'd change on this fine knife is the parcel hook - some type of a saw would be more useful.
(I've though about grinding saw teeth into the back of the hook. However, believe it or not, I've actually used the parcel hook to carry, well..., parcels [string/wire-wrapped packages] on occasion.)

HIGHLY recommended for any tinkerer, especially anyone who is used to carrying a pocket knife.

In 1897, he crafted the Victorinox Original Swiss Army Knife. Since that time, the Elsener family has continued to craft tools in the Victorinox tradition of in genius design, durability, and quality. This is why all Victorinox multi-tools, made of first class stainless steel, are guaranteed a lifetime against defects in material and workmanship. REMEMBER, If it doesn't say Victorinox, it's not the Original Swiss Army Knife.
Still made in the village of Ibach, Switzerland, Swiss Army knives have been known for their quality and craftsmanship since they were first introduced over 100 years ago. Easy to carry along in a pocket, glove compartment, tool box, or boat, the Tinker is excellent for impromptu repairs.

The 3-1/2-inch-long knife holds 17 tools in its traditional, red plastic casing. They include: large and small knife blades; a can opener with 3mm screwdriver; a bottle cap lifter with 6mm screwdriver and a wire stripper; scissors; a reamer with sewing eye; a Phillips screwdriver; pliers with a wire cutter/crimper; a multi-purpose hook; tweezers; a toothpick; and a key ring. All blades and tools are made of first-class, stainless steel (except for the plastic toothpick). Tools are separated by rust-proof aluminum alloy, while durable brass rivets and bushings hold knife layers together. This Swiss Army knife is covered by a full, lifetime warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde


From the renowned company that created the Swiss Army Knife a century ago comes the Deluxe Tinker, a complete set of tools for campers, hikers, boy scouts, and just about everyone else. Measuring 3-1/2 inches long, the Deluxe Tinker is stylishly cased in a timeless red housing with the familiar Victorinox logo on the side. More importantly, the unit contains 16 stainless-steel and plastic tools appropriate for just about any occasion. The standard tools include a large blade, a small blade, a can opener with a small screwdriver, a bottle opener with a large screwdriver and wire stripper, and a small set of scissors. And that's just the beginning, as the Deluxe Tinker also offers mini pliers with a wire cutter, a reamer with a sewing eye, a Phillips screwdriver, a hook, a toothpick, tweezers, and a key ring. In short, there's no better accessory for camping, hunting, and fishing trips, along with general around-the-house tasks.

As with all Victorinox items, the Deluxe Tinker is made to exacting standards, with dozens of individual parts and hundreds of steps going into its construction. Victorinox attends to every detail, from selecting the finest materials to performing the final inspection. In addition, each individual tool has been hardened in a different way to stand up to its designated use. Outfitted with a plastic housing, the Deluxe Tinker carries a lifetime warranty.

About Swiss Army Knives
In 1884, Swiss cutler Karl Elsener set up shop in Ibach-Schwyz, installing a waterwheel in Tobelbach Brook to run his grinding and polishing machines. Thus began what would become the international brand name Victorinox, a combination of Victoria, for Elsener's mother, and "inox," or stainless steel. Today, Victorinox produces watches, luggage, clothing, and, famously, Swiss Army Knives. The original product dates to 1897, when Elsener patented the Swiss Officer's and Sports Knife he supplied to the Swiss Army. Following World War II, American servicemen and women shopping in PX stores shortened the name to Swiss Army Knife, which lives on in English-speaking countries around the world and has become a metaphor for versatility.
