Woo Hoo, got my first Spirit with ratchet and leather sheath coming and got it on sale for no more than the Spirit without the ratchet!  Reading all about the Spirit on the forum here and picking up a used SwissTool just pushed me over the edge to get the Spirit, I can't wait to see it  :drool:  Just had to tell someone (my family and friends have no interest in multi-tools, except for one good buddy who is heavily into Leathermans but could care less about Vics).  I've got a question for you guys though, does the Spirit with the ratchet set weigh more or less than a SwissTool alone in it's nylon sheath?  I've been carrying the SwissTool and don't find it cumbersome, but wondered if the ratchet set makes the Spirit a lot heavier.   :think:

All I can tell you is when I got my Spirit I weighted it at the following:
210g Spirit, (368g with bit-wrench kit (full) and Victorinox leather case)

I didn't weigh the Ratchet model when I got it, but it would be slightly heavier than wrench model.

My Leather case was also not the best it can't hold the ratchet, extension, and corkscrew, but they must have changed it at some point because some on here showed one that would and they had change the internal compartments around and swapped the plier position with the accessories, it looked better.

With all the talk of Black Oxide ones, I had to get one to test it out.  I got it with no bit-kit and the black nylon pouch is super slip compared to the leather case with bit-kit.  I love the slim nylon case.  I've had it on the belt for a few days just for fun, usually my regular spirit is in my bag, not on a belt.  The Spirit alone is really nice if you need to carry it on a belt. I might get a separate case for the Bit-kit/Ratchet since they are so handy and would fit in a small case.  So I'm no thinking 1 case for everything is nice, but for belt I'd separate them.
