Hmm, I'm going to have to get me one of these swissthingummies.Benner - my favourite tool in the world, ever is my Charge TTi. Which Swisstool should I get to compare to it?

Sorry - compare was the wrong word really. What I meant was, which swisstool do you think might appeal to me most?
Does that mean I could legally EDC it in Israel (or UK, if that's closer to your heart) ?
Very interesting to note that not one single blade or driver is commonly shared between the two models.

In addition to all of the above, the X comes with a crate opener. This tool is not offered on the Spirit;
Isn't the bottle opener/combi tool bulked up so it can be used for prying?

But isn't it just a large flat head screwdriver that can be used for prying?
I see what you mean.. Ben, what have you been using that file for!
What a fantastic post! Thanks for all the work! I have been dying to see a point-by-point comparison like that. Really informative.I have a few questions:1) Do the files have the same surface on both sides?2) I think both files are combo metal saws, correct? If so, does the Spirit's more aggressive teeth make it a better metal saw?3) The Philips on the ST-X is at quite an angle which I think would prevent it from reaching many recessed screws. The Spirit's shank has much less of an angle, but it still has one. Can the Spirit reach recessed screws, like those found in electronics, or does the shank's angle prevent that?

What I was saying, was that there is no dedicated crate opener like there is on the X.
I didn't realise they were shaped differently as well.Thanks for the pic!
