I share your love.  I started my multitool addiction with a leatherman rebar and although it was a great tool the spirit X kicks it's butt in almost every way.  I love the fit and finish and the outside opening tool set.  It's really is the most user friendly multitool I have ever used (and I have tried just about all of them at this point).  Whats more it has a really crisp detent very similar to a typical SAK.  About the only thing that could make it better for me would be the addition of a pocket clip, but otherwise it really is an awesome tool.  I'm glad you're enjoying it!

The bit drivers on the Swisstool line are so much better.  :think:

Before there's a misunderstanding here, I just wanted to point out that we shouldn't pay to much attention to the opinion of a man who doesn't even know how to get the bits out of his tool  ;).

And yes, the bit driver on the Swisstool/Spirit is much better  >:D.

I'm a big fan of Victorinox. I also have to say that Victorinox might be the best Quality tools (although i'm not qualified to really judge this).

However, Leatherman has some really nice designs and tools-choices (OHO, bit-holder, blade-exchanger), that's why my favorite is a tie between the Spirit (compact) and the Charge (OHO). So, don't sweat someones personal opinion.
It wouldn't be the internet without people complaining.

I agree with what you're saying here  :tu:.

By the way, could you imagine there being one perfect tool ?  So much for collecting multitools then ...   ::)

No, we want to have the agony of choice in the morning, what should I take, do I take my ST300 because of its awesome wire-cutters, or do I take my Spirit because it's smaller and it has that sweet chisel, and what if I need a OHO knife today ...  :ahhh

I have a Swisstool and while it may be very well made it is it is really hard  for me to open the tools with my short finger nails. I have the same problem with Swiss army knifes.
SwissTool vs. Spirit: Spirit every time.

I understand your problem (although I don't share it), its why I love the Charge with his OHO tools.
It wouldn't be the internet without people complaining.

blade_lover, I might be a little late, but welcome to MT.O.

Spirit X is no doubt one of my all time favorite for MTs, and not to mention the "buttery" opening for each individual tool.  If it only has a OHO blade, it will be the be-all-n-end-all mid size MT for me.  :pok:

I enjoy his reviews, got some good points.
One thing I strongly disagree with him how he thinks swisstools are superior to leatherman...
I'm a big fan of Victorinox. I also have to say that Victorinox might be the best Quality tools (although i'm not qualified to really judge this).

However, Leatherman has some really nice designs and tools-choices (OHO, bit-holder, blade-exchanger), that's why my favorite is a tie between the Spirit (compact) and the Charge (OHO). So, don't sweat someones personal opinion.

I agree with what you're saying here  :tu:.

By the way, could you imagine there being one perfect tool ?  So much for collecting multitools then ...   ::)

No, we want to have the agony of choice in the morning, what should I take, do I take my ST300 because of its awesome wire-cutters, or do I take my Spirit because it's smaller and it has that sweet chisel, and what if I need a OHO knife today ...  :ahhh

That's why one should create a rotational schedule :pok: ;) :whistle:

A normal person wouldn't go that far, but who knows what the other might do ...



And no, you're not getting my Spirit RT ...  :twak:

That's why, when trimming my fingernails, I always leave a little extra on both thumbnails.   :cheers:

So far with my limited collection I went with the have more pockets method of solving this problem. My Army pants alone have 8 pockets.
