Sports reviews of Victorinox Swisscard Lite, Ruby
Customer Review: Victorinox Swisscard Lite, Ruby
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
It's very hard to give you an accurate description on anything. I can give you the dimensions, weight and comparison to an object but it still won't give you a good visualization until you actually hold it. I will try to do my best to have you visualize the Swiss Card. Go into your wallet, really, go get 3 credit cards and place them on top of each other. The 3 credit cards has the same dimension and thickness of the Swiss Card. It is small and useful.
The Card its Self - It is 4 x 3 and as thick as 3 credit cards. It's very lite and thin. It has 13 tools (Amazon's description) with 6 actual tools. Knife, scissors, tweezers, screw driver, pin and pen. The other; ruler, light, magnifying glass. The other 4 are the different sizes of screw driver bit (13 tools). It's translucent which looks very cool held up to a light and is very useful.
The Knife - The knife is the same knife that comes with the fold-in Multi-tool. Same length and thickness but the handle is different. It is a little flimsy. The knife is good to cut open envelopes, cut strings, open plastic bags and whatever you need to open that doesn't require sawing or some muscle to open. The handle will break.
The Scissors - The scissors are the same ones in the Multi-Tool. These are a little bit more sturdy than the knife. It's fully metal with an "O" handle. The main scissor blade is fixed into the the handle and the second blade is attached like the one in the Multi-Tool. It is a little hard to hold. What I do is insert my pinkie finger into the ring and let the scissors rest on my fingers and then use my thumb to operate the cutting action. They are useful but not too often.
The Screw Driver - A lot of people are saying the screw driver is useless. I don't find this at all. When I first looked at it I though "Well, this will do nothing". When I tried it out, it worked great for me. I put together a stand up fan with out getting frustrated of having it slip or dropping out of my hand. The screw driver is the size of a quarter with the bits cut out. It actually has a lot of torque.
The Pen - Now this it useless. First off it has Blue ink. For some reason, I hate Blue ink. It's very hard to hold and the ink dries out very quickly in the tip. You have to rub the tip for literally a minute on a piece of paper to wet the ink. If you really need to find a pen, it's there but don't expect it as a good backup.
The Tweezers - They're OK. It's hard to actually get a splinter out with these but it can be done if the splinter in very superficial. There really is no use other than that.
The Pin - It's really just a pin. I guess if you need a pin, it's there. It's not a bad pin but I never really use it.
The Magnifying Glass - I have always found that the Swiss Army Knife Magnifying Glass was great. It's the same one in the Multi-Tool but fixed into the card its self. It doesn't make what you are magnifying bubbly or warped. It works very well.
The Red Light - When I first turned it on, it didn't give off much light and it's hard to see things in the dark with a dim red light. But I have used it may times. I've used it to find things under car seats, to see what the temperature was on the thermostat and little things that need a little light so you can see it. It's more useful than you would think. You can change the battery very easily. You just lift the tab up and place a new one it. It takes a CR 1025 Lithium Coin Cell battery. It might be hard to find a replacement battery though.
The Ruler - It's impossible to read and is only 3 inches. Not much use here. It does have a straight edge to scrape up things. Salt, sugar, etc.
After writing this review I realized there are a lot of useless things on the Swisscard but I use it all the time. If you buy it, you will use it. Sadly, Swiss Army Knives are impossible to find in-stores now. I live in Chicago and can't find many knives. So I hope this review helps with on-line buying. It's worth $20.
Description of Victorinox Swisscard Lite, Ruby
Victorinox is introducing a light to it's popular Swiss card . This versatile multi-tool is the size of a credit card with features that would put a gold card to shame.From the renowned company that created the Swiss Army Knife a century ago comes the SwissCard Lite, an ultra-thin multi-tool that's an ideal tag-along accessory for users everywhere. The SwissCard Lite is roughly the size of a credit card, so you can easily fit it in your wallet or pocket. However, the SwissCard Lite performs a ton of tasks that your AmEx card can't, with such tools as a letter opener, a small set of scissors, a pair of tweezers, a straight pin, a pressurized ballpoint pen, and a magnifying glass. And that's just the beginning, as the device also includes such fix-it tools as 3mm and 5mm flat-head screwdrivers, two Phillips screwdrivers, an LED mini light, and a ruler that measures items in both inches and centimeters. In short, there's no better multi-tool for people who find traditional Swiss Army Knives a little bulky. The SwissCard Lite, which measures 3.25 inches long, carries the Victorinox lifetime warranty.
About Victorinox
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.
