I just got a PocketGrip and it's really cool.  I can only imagine how cool it's Bigger Brother would be.

I don't have one.  I really want to get one!

I have the PocketGrip and love it.

Monster is correct!  People call the SwissTool heavy, but the SwissGrip is a boat anchor.  It is one massive tool.  I compared mine to my SwissTool and it dwarfed it.  With the blade open it is about 10 inches in length.

While it is a cool tool, it certainly isn't one I have in my EDC rotation.  Now, if time permits and I can get a decent sheath made, I might just have to try it one day.(I'll need to have suspenders with my belt that day!)

I don't use my pocketgrip much, but it is a nice tool.

Both of mine have a phillips screwdriver, but I'm told there is one model that substitutes a corkscrew.

True?

If there is, I have never heard of it or seen it. 

But that doesn't mean it's not out there.

That little fella reminds me of a picture from WW2.  The OSS(predeccessor to the CIA) issued a tool similar to that one to its members that were behind enemy lines, ???

Ahh yes, the famous OSS Escape Knife. You could buy about twenty of the Wenger tools for the going price of one of these babies.

Welcome to the Swiss Grip Owner's Club Mikko! (we tend to have bigger more solid tools than most guys)  :D

Have you gotten a chance to use that big saw blade yet?

Yep, I have one. Got a fairly extensive bit kit from Ace the other day - flatheads, phillips, reverse hex, drills... All fit like they were meant to be. Now I'm ready!   :D

I've got one.  Verily it is a tank.  Best saw you can get on a multitool.  None has a bigger blade either.  Anyone know where I can get a sheath for it?

What I'd really like to see is a NewRanger with the same tools as the SwissGrip,
but the NewRanger pliers (and the tools hiding under the pliers handle like on the SwissGrip).
That could be the same size as the Alinghi.
Might have to shorten the file a little bit to get it to fit in there.
