I just received mine after ordering from Amazon (after waiting almost a month!). It's a very solid tool, and it's lighter than the comparable Leatherman, which I was also considering. My only two complaints are that the scissors are very small - moreso than my previous Swiss Army Knife that was significantly smaller - and the knife is the combo-blade without a sharp point. Rating this tool down one star for this might be too much, though.

Locking tools are very nice, the case looks nice, and the bonus mini-knife is a good addition too. 5 stars

My first multi tool was the original old school Leatherman. It's so old that it doesn't have locking tools like the current versions. It's still going strong, though and I didn't have any major gripes about it other than the tools didn't lock. I thought I'd lost the Leatherman at the park playing with my son so I finally got into the 20th century and bought the Victornox Spirit. What a difference! The tools all lock so they don't fold up and threaten to cut your fingers off if you use them hard, it's very nicely polished and radiused (comfortable to the hand), and it's easy to use. I love the fact that you don't have to open the pliers first to access the tools. Most multi tools have this feature now and it shouldn't be designed any other way. Folding the tools away is easy with the button sliders in the handle. Actuation of all of the tools and pliers is smooth and feels like a quality instrument. All of the tools are useful and well thought out. It is a BARGAN at the Amazon price! The only thing that kept it from being a total 5 out of 5 and it's a very minor point is that the knife isn't configured like a conventional pocket knife with a point at the tip. It is a blunt nosed serrated blade. So far no issues with that, though. The blade is so sharp, I haven't had a need to poke into an object before I could get a cut started. 4 stars

Just a warning that the weight and size is wrong in the product description.
It weighs 7 3/8 oz and is 4 1/4"
I was hoping for a smaller and lighter tool than the Leatherman Wave that I already have. This is not smaller and not much lighter. I prefer the Wave in this size class. 3 stars

I bought the Swisstool spirit a few months ago to replace my old leatherman multitool. I had lost my leatherman, one of my favorite tools and immediately started looking for a replacement. I've always been a fan of swiss knives so I started there. For the price, the swisstool is competitive against the other brands. I loved the polished finish of the swisstool spirit. The only drawback to this is if you're like me and work with greasy things, it's hard to keep a grip. Otherwise, if you're using this as a plyer, the grip is very comforable and easy to work with. The other tools included in the Spirit are also top notch, although the lack of a straight blade knife can is lamentable. The serrated knife included in the Spirit is plenty sharp and will cut a bunch of things, just when it comes to sharpening it, you might have some trouble. The rest of the tools are easy to use and lockable, something my old leatherman didn't have. The locking mechanism is good, I have tried to close the screwdriver with the lock on and it didn't move.

The few nitpicks that I have about this tool may depend on the user, but to me the chisel included in this tool is very sharp, but so is the rest of it. So upon opening this tool, if you don't put your finger in the right place to extend it fully, you might end up cutting yourself. Some might find the file a bit too course, but that's why I have my swisschamp with me too. The scissors on swissknives are awesome, but the one on the swisstool spirit needs some work. Unlike the swisschamp and others whose scissor open fully, the spirit only opens about a quarter inch. And lastly the case is durable and should be able to last for a long time...except for the velcro snap. I wish they would have included a button for this, but I heard you can get someone to change it out.

Overall I love this tool. This tool feels substantial in your hands and you can use it almost all day without pain. Other than the little nitpicks, I reccommend this tool. 5 stars

After having owned and used Gerber Multipliers, a BuckTool, and several Leatherman's of all styles, 3 years ago I settled on the original Vic SwissTool as my Multi-tool of choice. Creative, robust design, with the best ergonomics in the industry. I purchased the Swisstool Spirit to keep one as backup to my old SwissTool. It's even more ergonomic, a little more compact, with the same excellent design. Great product, Vic! 5 stars
