Sports reviews of Victorinox Swiss Army SwissTool Spirit Plus RatchetCustomer Review: Mini Tool Kit - Stunning Usability and Utility Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
This is a Winner. I was not a big Multi-Tool fan, as I like to use the best tool for the job. The early Leathermans really didn't work for me with their poor ergonomics and tool design so I tuned out the initial multitool craze. I love my Swiss Army Knives, and when I started to learn even more about them, it just so happened that Victorinox introduced the Spirit, and 3rd/4th generation tool. I was totally amazed at the quality and design of this tool. It is easy to get at all the tools, it feels great in the hand and can really handle some tough jobs.
The plus version with the extra bit-kit really extends this useful tool to an everyday tool. It becomes essentially a little toolkit. you can go to for almost any need. There are spaces in the holder for extra bits so I added some smaller Torx bits there since I come across those quite often. Other might add larger bits, that they use often.
I actually now have 2, because I first bought it with just what is called the Bit-Wrench, rather than the Ratchet. I was not sure I wanted the ratchet because most of the times with a driver I don't need a Ratchet, and it can even be inconvient. However the Ratchet is GREAT! When you just want a driver, the end of the Ratchet handle is a bit holder so you can use it straight, and use the extension on the ratchet end if you need more torque. It's very versitile. It was hard to find a place to buy the ratchet separately, although the wrench is easy, so if you really want the wrench you can get it later. NOTE: the picture is currently wrong on this item, it shows the wrench, but the title says the ratchet is included.
Some people complain about the 'butter knife' shape of the serrated blade. For me this was a plus; my pocket knives all have spear-point or clip-point and I don't usually carry a serrated blade, so for me it's a welcomed new tool rather than being redundant. Cutting hoses, plant material, rope all work great when using this tool for house/yard chores. Check the Spirit 'S' and a new model coming if this really bothers you.
This is a medium sized tool; its size and the shape of the handles seem to suite people with small to medium hands better. For me this goes a long way to making this tool extremely comfortable to use.
Highly Recommended.

What's in the Box? Victorinox Swiss Army SwissTool, nylon belt case Manufacturer Warranty Lifetime limited 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.
