I'm all for the Wenger SI, but is the combo tool on the Bantam really that good? I didn't like how it chewed up bottle caps, and I've found it to be a sub par screwdriver... How does it work on Philips?

I've used it on cans, and I've never chewed up a bottle cap with it. Popped plenty of them right off, but it went easy. For use on phillips screws, I use the lower corner of the tool and insert the corner into the phillips. Works like a charm. I love that the combo tool does away with one whole layer, and makes for a very light weight edc pocket knife.

Like the Vic can opener/Phillips, you can twist it with a bit of excessive torque.
