I forgot to mention the tool I am most looking forward to using: the package opener! Though some use the butter knife tip to open packages and some call the package opener a "chisel/scraper," I know that I'll be using the package opener a whole lot...if I ever get my Spirit back from the repair center.

Why did you send it in for repair? Guessing that the American repair facility was the previous Wenger repair center? Took me over a month to get the S557 repaired ... it had the most horrendous pliers ever. Think took 6 weeks and numerous email to get one back. Not found any local stores that carry anything past Vic Classics. Might try Big 5 if I remember, but am on limited funds for a while yet.

Damn... almost went ballistic ... http://www.armoryexpressoutlet.com/SwissTool-Spirit--Road-Tour_p_1378.html (Image removed from quote.) ... then I saw the $164 and thought one thing, Chako!
$164 looks like a good deal for the Spirit RT, if they've actually got one in stock. They were a limited edition from 2010, IIRC.

The result is that - that, combined with its smoothness (no sharp corners on a Spirit) makes it rides much more comfortable in your pants.- all the small tools (screwdriver, prytool etc...) are longer and have better reach.I carry a spirit with me every day and I never notice it there. The Signal on the other hand (the only similar sized MT I have carried for a while) was a lot more noticeable.Have you now ditched the Signal? I thought you'd got quite enamoured by it?
