Day 50.

The Spirit feels like a regular pocket knife after a while, and tool selection becomes automatic. I could see carrying it indefinitely, and I'm sure after a year I'll probably have some difficulty getting used to something else. There are five selections each side, and it's only a matter of knowing whether I want the Phillips side or not. Not as easy as a SwissChamp, but close to it.

Day 73, one fifth of a year, yes, 20% there.  :)

The Spirit is like a regular pocket knife now, but so much handier. Missing my Climbers, but really liking the extra functionality of the Spirit. It's not only a really good outdoor tool, it's very at home in any environment, a good all around tool to carry.  :tu:

The Spirit really does seem to bridge the gap between a massive, pliers-based multitool and a pocket knife.

During my 30-day challenge, I came to think of the Spirit as "a Boy Scout knife with pliers."

Nice job so far, twiliter.   :tu:

It's utilitarian, versatile, streamlined, polished, and functional. How's that?  :D I agree, being black also Italianish rather than Frenchish, but having Swiss Italian lineage, I guess the attraction is genetic.  ;)

Perhaps the question will become "can I stop carrying this tool?"

Think you might find yourself feeling 'naked' without the Spirit?

FAIL  :facepalm:

No fault of the Spirit, made it through July and got to missing my Climbers. The Spirit is still the most pocketable and capable MT (IMO), and it did everything I needed it to do. It's back in my tool bag, and I've been carrying my black Climber + daily for a month or so. Feeling a little lighter now.  ;)

7 months is a pretty good run for just one tool though. :hatsoff:  Anything you felt it missed out on over that time?  And what were the best bits?

It was a good run H, no doubt. I think the best thing was how easily the Spirit handled everything I threw at it, then slipping it back in my pocket and have it virtually disappear there like a pocket knife. I found my need for pliers were met well, but not often, as I would go several days at a time, sometimes a week or more without needing them, so my need for an MT overall is probably less than a lot you guys here. It depends on what I'm doing, like with outdoor work or projects, I find it handy to have pliers in my pocket, or incidental things around the house or garage, again very handy. So my go-to choice, the Climber is where I find the comparisons and limitations of the Spirit. The 91mm scissors are better and more precise, and the small blade, which I use a lot, works better for me than making either the Spirit blade or chisel do the same thing. The scale tools on my Climber also get more use than, say, the saw or even the pliers. There is also the weight factor, and the Spirit isn't so heavy that it's annoying to carry like some of the bigger MT's, but it's very far from the compactness and light weight of the Climber, which I am so used to carrying over the years now. If I were into old cars and motorcycles as much as I was in my younger days, it would be a different story, and I would still be carrying it, but nowadays that type of thing takes less of my time, and the Climber really meets the majority of my day to day needs.  :salute:

Then there's the other problem of having a lot of choices. I missed the variety of the occasional SwissChamp day, or Signature, or what have you...  :cheers:
