Sports reviews of Victorinox SwissTool RSCustomer Review: Can't Miss With This Swiss! Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
The Victorinox Swiss Tool RS is just what I was looking for - a mini tool set. I can't wait to try them all out. This is one of those 'don't leave home without it' items and comes in handy when I go hunting and fishing. While, you can't carry every tool with you to handle each and every unforseen emergency situation, this Victorinox comes as close as any to being able to do just that. It's a little too big to keep in my pocket but since it comes with a sturdy case it works fine on my belt.My Marine Corps experiences from the cold of Norway to the steaming jungles of Panama tells me this is a winner. Just like my Victorinox Swiss Army Explorer with Free Pouch, this is truly a quality product, one that you can count on to get the job done. You will definitely be glad you ordered it. I know I am. ~ The Boss
Customer Review: Swiss Perfection Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I own several brands of Multi-tools, SOG, Gerber, Leatherman and now Victorinox. Nothing against the other brands, they are each very good in their own right, but this tool is nothing less than the Swiss perfection that you would expect from Victorinox. The pliers are very smooth and not stiff like the other brands (with exception to the spring assisted Gerber EVO or Butterfly). And the accessories are the easiest of all brands to open, they work just as smooth as opening up any Victorinox knife, and I might add they are also just as sharp. The only thing that could make this better is the opening of the pliers; I have yet to find any multi-tool that opens as smooth and as easy as the gear driven SOG PowerLock. Just my $0.02.....!!! I highly recommend the RS and would definitely buy this one again.
Customer Review: SAFE to use, BEST tool Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
Things that make it better than the others:
1. SAFE to use. Has the best locking mechanism. Others are made of plastic and/or add bulk and make it clunky. Do NOT buy a tool or knife with blades that do not lock !
2. Blades can be opened from outside without opening the pliers. This also allows a better grip too.
3. Overall size is just right, and it is compact, not bulky. All the components are made to the size needed.
4. Has a good combination of tools without useless tools to add bulk. Many of the tools are ingeniously combined onto same blade to save space.
5. High end quality, made of good heavy steel.
This one is worth the extra cost.
Customer Review: Very impressed... Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I was led to believe that this item would be much larger and heavier than it really was - I was in fact surprised by its compact design. It has very clean lines with no sharp edges. As you unfold the tool to reveal the pliers , there is a satisfying click which each movement as each piece moves into place. I had no trouble accessing any component while the pliers were hidden. I guess the only thing I would change about this tool is to add an additionaly small non-serrated knife or perhaps even a file or metal saw. But you can't have it all - very pleased thus far. The ruler is very nice as well. You can form a carpenter's right angle tool or even a 9in ruler. I would buy this again in a flash if I ever needed to.
Customer Review: Best Multi-Tool I've owned yet Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
This is multi tool number 4 for me. The first two were Leatherman tools which were useful but never great. The pliers were always a pain to use. The third was a Gerber multi-tool that for the most part was better designed then the Leatherman tools (especially the handle) but the quality of some of the tools was lower. I finally got this tool after the Gerber pliers snapped off. So far this is the best of the bunch. Not as nice to look at as the Gerber but as easy to hold. The quality of each of the tools is high and the locking mechanism is good. This tool is heavier then the competing tools from Gerber or Leatherman, I attribute that to higher quality metal. Worth the money.
