Ok, I might not have been completely correct
on: April 26, 2019, 11:26:18 PM
But I still have not changed my mind .............oh, you are wondering what the old geezer is babbling about now ???    :think:
Well it seems my son, that would be Douglas came for a visit Easter weekend. While here he left behind a Vic Spirit. I will have to admit, I wish this tool had been around in my heyday, I have used it many times since last Sunday and I'm more than a little impressed. Oh I have other multitools and use them some. That said the SwissChamp has always been my goto tool & still is. But if I were still on the job the Spirit would definitely be part of my EDC. No other multitool has ever made me even think about it, not even the Mighty Swiss Tool. This one is a perfect work compliment to my SwissChamp. What more can I say. ............ :dunno:

Ya dun gud Douglas, THANK YOU.   :hatsoff:



Still ain't gonna give up my Champ  :viking:

Just a small personal observation.  ...........I would not be at all surprised that when God created the Earth & the heavens, that the SwissChamp was the tool he used. .............. :hatsoff:

The Spirit pretty much reset my expectations of a multitool. Since Al sold me one,very few other tools have gotten a look in
There is no beginning,or ending,and for this we are thankful,cos now is hard enough to understand!

Yep, that's the Spirit ...  :pok:

 :facepalm:

One of the best tools out there, in my opinion.  Looks very nice (maybe too nice, since it looks a bit like a piece of jewelry), but once you start to really use it, you'll find out that it can handle just about everything you throw at it.

Thanks Guys, and Ya Welkum Pappy!!
Glad ya likes it.  I have found it to the nearest thing I can imagine as a perfect MT.  Having tried many other MTs sense joining MTo Vic could offer a few variants to the basic design and possibly even make a few upgrades.  Overall it is still the BEST mid-sized and pocketable MT on the market in my opinion.

The Spirit is really a pleasure to use.
And combined with the bit-kit/wrench etc. there's not much I cannot fix around the house  :tu:

Well... I do use the Surge quite a bit as well... and the... :think:

Anyways, here's a pic of my Spirit carrying options depending on the needs...

My Swiss Champ and my Spirit are riding together in a leather scabbard in my back pocket.  No need to choose.
