Title: Can someone lay out the diffrences?
Post by: Anthony on September 30, 2007, 05:04:06 AM: Between the Spirit and Spirit S, and the Swisstool and the Swisstool X?

Every time I try and figure it out I get all mixed up...someone must know!

And does the ratchet or bit set fit in any of the tool sheaths, or does it have to be carried seperately?

The SwissTool X substitutes scissors for the serrated blade.

The Spirit S substitutes a plain blade for the scissors.

In my opinion, if they would have kept the scissors on the "S" and just swapped blades, the "S" would be my perfect multitool...

Now I'll finally see what all the fuss is about with the Vic multis ::) :grin:

Trouble is once you go swiss, you end up selling of giving away all your other tool's, I'll email you my address ;D

Seriously though the spirit is a great model, and I'm sure you won't be disapointed :)

Post by: Anthony on October 04, 2007, 01:44:36 AM: So I received a Swisstool Spirit today from EODTech, and it has NO play...none...not even a little. I've handled tools (multi or otherwise) that had play but were great tools. I never thought twice about a little wobble; it's just a fact of manufacturing...but the Spirit is not of this world! :ahhh
