The quizzes are awlways a struggle for me.....
I'll add the Wenger Business Tool. Basically an over-priced stapler that helped put Wenger out of business.
Aside from those two, the Skeletool that cost $70 at the least with 7 tools (a stretch), while my $50 Reba has so many tools. I can't see paying $20 more bucks for 10 fewer tools. I just cant.Vic - I know I am in the minority on this but the Classic baffles me. The anemic blade is so tiny, I can just about use it to open letters. And few people send letters these days. My PS4 isn't much bigger but at least has a blade with some belly. So does my Micro and the Classic has nothing on either of those except less weight, which I would expect from a tool that is not much more useful than nail clippers/ file

It's considered to have been the final nail in the Wenger coffin...
Camillus Les Stroud Multi-tool.This tool is so big and bulky that the designers had to go the extra mile to make it so. They started by installing large spacers between the tools. Then they added a big rubber/plastic cover over everything. Bonus points for just taking the flashlight/whistle and fire steel parts from the knife series and just adding them to this sorry excuse of a multi-tool.Show content
That's the story: https://forum.multitool.org/index.php?topic=32653.0They were limping pretty hard after the 9-11 ban on knives and spending their money on stuff like the oboe tool, the snowboard tool and similar "highly useful and marketable" gimmicks.The Business Tool took 6 years of design and bucketloads of money to develop. It was a good product, but not many people would spend a couple of hundred dollars on a glorified stapler.It's considered to have been the final nail in the Wenger coffin...
...Victorinox:MiniChamp . This should have been called the Classic Deluxe or something. It is too small to called a 'Champ'. It is useless compared to a full size SwissChamp. But, it is more useful than a Classic. Almost anything is more useful than a Classic though....

Honestly I am not that crazy about the Minichamp either... it has too much crap shoved in there to make the count... I mean, the coke spoon (Cuticle Pusher), penile measurement device (Screwdriver-ruler) and Finger-poking apparatus (Cut-and-picker blade) are ridiculous afterthoughts that bring lots of width but 0 useability. The Rambler is so much better designed.
