Don't forget that additional multitool reviews are on the main site at www.multitool.org!

Can we submit reviews as well for the main part of the site or is that limited to the powers that be?

[Grant Lamontagne]

I was hoping that many of the reviews that are posted here could eventually be copied over to the main site.  It is by no means just for the Admin team to do.  I wish I could afford all the tools on the market, but I just can't, plus I also invite folks to re-review the tools I (or anyone else) have already reviewed since different tools work for different folks.  More opinions are always welcome!  It wouldn't be much of a forum without it!

About two months ago I bought the swisstool spirit.  Since then I have had it in my pocket every day.  It has come to be my favorite tool along with my leatherman Charge Ti.  At first I wasn't sure about the combo blade.  For the week I used used the blade as it was. Finding that I needed a plain edge more than a serrated one I took the serrations off.  Something I learned from SOSAKONLINE.Thank You by the way. I use the scissors almost everyday for one reason or another. I find the awl useful also, something my charge is missing. In one night at work I used the scissors to cut the some zip ties. The blade to cut some boxes. I used the awl to start a hole for a screw, the phillips driver to drive the screw, and the metal saw to cut the tip of the screw off which had come throgh the other side of the handle I was fixing.  Now thats the definition of a great multitool. I have had no problems with the swisstool spirit to date.

Def, great reviews on the C2 and S2 Juice models, just wanted to let you know that savvy retailers can and are buying the juice with the sheath included....if you remember the first year none of the jucies had sheaths......but the dealer can buy the Juices with or without the sheaths I am told........The C24,KF4(RETIRED)XE6 and Pro(RETIRED) are just too darn big for pocket carry.

Nice to hear that someone pulled their heads out of their hineys down there!  I am not a big fan of pocket carry multitools.  If it don't have a sheath, it don't come with me.

I agree for the most part.Tools in your pocket is just awkward, especially at a party

I have to agree with you Def , although I have carried my S2 in my pocket and have been known to carry my Charge with the pocket clip,but those are the only two exceptions.
If its a keychain tool it always goes on my keychain never loose in the pocket.....I don't know why because I carry alot of different SAKS and slipjoints in my pocket.

Well that's part of the problem- you don't want to mar a nice satin or polished finish, or even an enamel or anodized finish by letting a tool get beat around in your pocket with change etc.  SAKs are ok, because that adds character.  Multis only gain character from actual use, not from being carried!
