Title: The haunting of the Spirit (October 30 day Spirit Challenge)
Post by: styx on September 21, 2018, 12:34:55 PM
Nix and Speedy have inspired me with their zeal in the September Storm so why not let all the little ghouls and banshees out with an October Spirit challenge?!

This challenge will be run using standard challenge rules, enriched for goodness:

1.  Carry a Spirit for 30-days. It doesn’t have to be the same Spirit everyday, but it has to be a real Victorinox Spirit. Modded Spirits welcome.  Cheap copies, not so much.

2.  Try to use every tool in the Spirit’s ample tool set at least once.

3.  Post a fresh photo of your Spirit every day. Action photos appreciated.

4.  Post up insights, memories, and Spirit stories as you are able.

5.  A final summary at the end of the challenge is always appreciated. How does the Spirit stack up against your beloved Wave or Rebar or MP600 or…… paper clip? Give the MTo community an honest and frank assessment. Did the Spirit live up to it’s popular reputation?


The challenge starts 01 October 2018, local time, and will wrap up 31 October 2018.

Because the challenge is expected to involve a large number of MTo members, to make it easier on the mods to award the new badges en masse, all participants must start 01 October and finish 31 October. (That’s why we’re announcing the challenge well in advance.)

And yes I've borrowed a bit from Nix's post.

So let the haunting of the Spirits begin

I'm out.
Got the badge, and posting pics daily is hard at the moment (timewise)
I'll hop in to say hello from time to time though! :salute:

Fiendishly tempting challenge..... I've got the badge, but then, it's not about the badge, it's about the fun of the challenge.

In my mind, it would be keeping in the Spirit of a Halloween challenge to require each participant to use the challenge tool to carve a Jack O'Lantern during the challenge.

So, I'm in...IF...the rules require a Jack O'lantern photo.

I may. I'm somewhat undecided. I've done two 30-day challenges so far, and each time I'm so glad when they're done. For some reason the pressure to post a pic each day gets old after awhile.

I do love the spirit, so I may yet join.

Good luck to all participating in this challenge.  I will be watching from the sidelines this time because I already have the Spirit badge. As someone who's been carrying a Spirit everyday for a long time already, I can tell you you're all going to very quickly appreciate everything this MT can do, and the usefulness of its tool set in a size that's comfortable to pocket carry.  My only issue is having a hard time opening the tools because my nails are too short, but I'm carrying it with a sailor's rigging knife so I use the marlin spike on the rigging knife to open the tools on the Spirit.  :cheers:

I’ve been carrying the spirit every day for a few months. Some times I really hated it because it would sit on its side in my pocket. Now with Victorinox belt clip... I feel like voltron has come together. It’s literally perfect. I would consider carrying other Vic’s for a challenge.... but the spirit is now my no compromise tool.

H.G.

No worries! Styx has set out the challenge rules in his first post:




This challenge will be run using standard challenge rules, enriched for goodness:

1.  Carry a Spirit for 30-days. It doesn’t have to be the same Spirit everyday, but it has to be a real Victorinox Spirit. Modded Spirits welcome.  Cheap copies, not so much.

3.  Post a fresh photo of your Spirit every day. Action photos appreciated.

4.  Post up insights, memories, and Spirit stories as you are able.

5.  A final summary at the end of the challenge is always appreciated. How does the Spirit stack up against your beloved Wave or Rebar or MP600 or…… paper clip? Give the MTo community an honest and frank assessment. Did the Spirit live up to it’s popular reputation?


The challenge starts 01 October 2018, local time, and will wrap up 31 October 2018.


And I am asking everyone to carve a Jack O'lantern during the challenge as well!

Wow, my wife is going to give me the biggest look if I try and use my Spirit X to carve a pumpkin :climber:. Will do it anyway though.

I wish I had my tools to make the Mods to my spirit that I have been mulling over. For now I'll keep standard configuration. I wish the tools were a bit easier to open. After a shower I can't easily open them with soft fingernails. I know how to fix it, but it requires some serious tools and some nail biting control...

I wish they made a black version of the Victorinox belt clip so that It would match perfectly with that tool. At least they have 4” black cables for the attachment method. There should be some black belt carriers to attach the tool. At worst you can use one of these:

Even though I carry a Spirit every single working day (so 20 days a month + some days off), the presure of posting a pic every day, preferably in action, is a little to much at the moment.

Idea of this challenge is to use Spirit much as possible and use it before other tools.

as Pacu said but we can simply this even further - carry everything and anything you desire with the Spirit, just don't forget to give it that fair share of work

Perfect , just wanted to be clear , I’ll also make note of stuff I wasn’t able to use the Spirit for , or was inappropriate to use a tool of that type for .

The only thing that was keeping the spirit from being the best multi-tool for pocket carry was the lack of attachment. Now that I figured that out.. it’s hard to argue how good it is. The Spirit is over an ounce lighter than the wave AND has much slimmer dimensions. 😍 And the Spirit X in chrome looks so good with the Victorinox belt clip.

Cheers,
HG

On a side note. I need to create or buy some sort of dangler so that I can easily take off either my keys or the multi-tool. The problem is that the ones I like are really expensive...

I wouldn't think so. Just keep your daily photo posts clearly labelled, and post a couple of make up days on the November end of the challenge and you should be good. Might be a good idea to  send Zoidberg a few Jaffa cakes to make up for the inconvenience and confusion.

Well now Mechy... You still need to join in...
I was trying to stick with just the Spirits but...

CIRCLE UP!!
(https://i.imgur.com/hIowm2oh.jpg)


FALL IN!  ATTENTION!!
(https://i.imgur.com/DNzPD7eh.jpg)

The collection is actually kinda small right now.  I've given away 4 Swisstools and one Spirit in the last two years.  One of the three Spirit XBS's is for a Christmas Party GAW.
I recently was promoted to Service Manager and just want to do a little something for the guys who have my back.  I'll be hiding enough Vic Classics around for each Tech to find one.  There is only one Yellow in the lot and it wins the Spirit.  Had to come up with something random.   I can't afford Spirits for everyone and thought just Calssics were not quite enough.  Most people realy don't give that Little Fellow its propper due, in part I'm cetain to all the cheep knock off's that get handed out.

I am Looking to add an RT Spirit to my collection if anyone feels the need to make a donation, or just sell one at a realy good price. :whistle:

So, I'm getting on the bus early and kicking off with a Day -1 post.

Today it's my Spirit with Ratchet set. Not that I used the ratchet.

Used the small screwdriver to lever out a couple of spent batteries from a bike light. And then I used the butter blade to slice some salad radishes, onions and tomatoes. The serrations weren't ideal really but the salad tasted fine !

Day 01 :

Off to a fine start.

This morning I used the awl to improve the air flow in a disposable coffee cup lid--the coffee turned out to be more trick than treat.... :(  But the awl was great!

Then the postman brought me a new camo/blaze orange bucket hat for use in the woods during gun season:

Day 1.

Thankfully I didn't need to resort to either Pliers, Awl or Saw (really Barry, really ?!) to retrieve my tea bag* from my morning cup of tea. Because there was a clean spoon in the canteen. But I'll keep the idea in mind ...

So this evening chopped up some more salad this time with my drop point bladed Spirit X. As you'd expect the radishes, spring onion and tomato were more obliging than with the wavy edge blade.

*Sadly tea bag quality at work no match to yours Barry I'd bet.

I just have a nasty blister on the ball of my foot. can't really walk with it and spending an entire day with sweaty socks in a shoe is probably not the best thing for it
Title: Re: The haunting of the Spirit (October 30 day Spirit Challenge)
Post by: Nix on October 01, 2018, 10:30:40 PM
Bummer, Styx... :(

Somewhere I was taught to make a doughnut cushion to take pressure off the blister. Like this:

(https://myhealth.alberta.ca/Health/_layouts/15/healthwise/media/medical/hw/hwkb17_022.jpg)


I think there are some fancier 'gel pad' products now that incorporate a 'doughnut cushion.' I haven't tried that, but they sound nice.....

The basic idea is to relieve the pressure and friction on the spot that is blistered. If the blister is broken, be sure to clean it well. An open wound in a warm and sweaty shoe is a recipe for a foot infection. Not a good idea.

Quick healing!   :cheers:

As Tank designers would say , my Spirit’s been “ up gunned , and up armoured “ by adding a bit kit redux , containing 5 double ended bits . The bit adaptor that slides over the phlips , lives under the pouch flap . It’s lighter and more capable than extra 1/4” hex bits . I had good luck with the Bit Kit Redux , I tried on my Skelerool , so now I’m trying the concept on the Spirit and Wave .  The cord holding the bit kit also acts as a baby finger lanyard .

Day 1:

Busy day for my Spirit...

I work as a teacher and I have been carrying the Spirit X for a while now. Today alone I used 4 tools.

At recess I untangled some toys (with ropes) using:
Pliers and the small flat head screw driver (to separate the knots)

At lunch I used my awl to punch a hole in many juice bags (those things are a gush waiting to happen!  :ahhh )

I also used the 4 in one (aka multi-purpose tool) for opening a number of packages.


(https://i.imgur.com/fjRP4ov.jpg)

Note: It is hard to see, but I am using a 10mm titanium split ring between the S-Biner and dangler. I really love having the Spirit on this belt attachment. However, when I added keys to it, not so fun. I really really really hate car FOBS...they are just so hard to carry.

Cheers,
H.G.

Take a screen shot of the photo. I have the same problem with my iPhone. I just take a screen shot and crop the boarders and am able to post those edited ones. Don’t try to crop the original photos because it still will be too large.

Day 2

Nice couple, the Spirit and this sheath, right?

Right... until I looked a bit closer - as you can see in the first pic each of the handles has a mark, both at about the same height.

The second pic explains why...  :facepalm: Need to cover the rivets... I don't object to marks denoting use, but sitting in a sheath?  :angel:

Which is why I've relegated the Spirit to pocket carry for now. Where it almost goes unnoticed, I hasten to add, even better than the Wave (despite the lack of a pocket clip) as it is quite a bit slimmer.

Re pocket clip, I know about the Nite-Ize Hip Clip some people appear to have adorned the Spirit with. However, this clip only comes in silver, not in BO or even just plain black, and a silver clip would not fit the title "adornment" on a black Spirit, in my view. Anyone know of a more elegant solution (except tapping a screw hole in the pivot and fitting a cut-off BO Wave clip)?

Day 2:

Forgot to change the date on my watch yesterday. The crown is a screw down type, and since the watch body and crown are titanium, there's always a bit of galling which makes breaking the crown loose with my fingers a bit challenging. So, I put a bit of cloth over the crown and use the spirit to grip it through the cloth and break it loose.

Nice shot, Douglas!

Great uses, Barry.   :tu:  The Spirit really is an excellent tool. Every time I carry it, I wonder why I carry anything else..... :rofl:

I will say that for the first time, just last night, I had trouble deploying the main blade.

My finger nails are short. After doing a lot of dish washing, they were also soft. The combination of short and soft meant that I couldn't get enough purchase on the nail nick to deploy the main blade. As I said, that's a first, but a bit concerning as we move into weather where gloves will be worn more.  :-\

My fingers are skinny enough that I can get a fingertip in the handle enough to basically pinch the blade open. Might be worth a shot. Pics below.

I've also got a thumbstud and have tried in the past to make a OHO mod, but couldn't successfully drill through the main blade. If anyone has any ideas, I'd love to be able to do that mod

Day 02 :

I find the Spirit so easy to carry in the pocket, I doubt I'll do any belt sheath carry. For this challenge, I dug out my pocket caddy. It's designed for a Buck 110, so the Spirit sinks down in the pocket a bit far. You could say it is a Buck 110 costume for my Spirit.

Nevertheless, it works nicely and I'm interested how the caddy does with regular and prolonged use. So, I'll keep using this one for the challenge:

Day 3:

I had mentioned in the shaving thread (https://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,31735.msg1783837.html#msg1783837) that I had recently acquired a new to me Gillette super speed razor from the '40's

Well, I noticed that the crimp groove was a little wonky looking after fixing the dropped knob issue using the pipe cutter with a washer trick. So, I had come across another method where a binder clip handle is used, and I thought that may fit the groove better and allow me to make it look smooth again.


I used the spirits pliers to squeeze the binder clip wire while I turned the razor handle.
 
I'm happy to report that it was successful!

It was dripping oil but after an hour of continuous wiping it clean it wasn't that slippery anymore and I had fun trying out the wire cutters, scissors and wire stripper.

The scissors cut very well and precise. But yes, they're a tad short maybe.
And the pliers could open a bit wider maybe.
But I like their ergonomics a lot.

After that it accompanied me on my weekly bike tour.

... some more showing the often mentioned skewed handles. It's 1mm maybe. No problem for me (box shows ©2017 so no old model).
It's only visible with closed handles.

damn Kev

Day 3, put up a new handle on the fridge and lifted some keys off a keyboard. if i hadn't said it before, i really dislike when people request new keyboards because the letters are a bit faded

Oh no Kev is it 3 points as well  :facepalm:

Nope, 36 in a 30 zone so should be ok to just do the speed awareness course.

Duuuuude.... that's annoying. I'm not even sure my speed meter would be accurate enough for that  ::)

Day 03 :

I think this photo will require a bit of explanation........

This is my favorite way to carry a bit of TP (Loo paper, for the UK crowd) when camping, hiking, anything-in-the-outdoors. When nature calls, I like to be ready to answer.

Technique:

1. Take a roll of your comfiest TP (I like a roll that's been used up a bit to save space in a pack) and throw a wrap of duct tape or gaffer's tape around the outside. (I usually use hi-vis red duct tape, but that appears to have been used up.  :think:)

2. Using a pair of scissors, snip the inner cardboard tube all the way down it's length. In this case, with the Vic's scissors, I had to cut half-way down from each end.

3. Carefully roll up the inner cardboard tube and remove.

4. Flatten the 'roll' and store in a plastic bag to keep dry.

I've been using this technique for decades. It's an easy way to be keep your outdoors hygiene products clean and organized. By removing the inner roll and flattening the whole thing, you save space. To use: just pull some tissue from the center. Easy, even in a woodsman's squat.


MTo'ers, be prepared!    :tu:

You just need to pay attention to put the Leatherman bit between the spring-clamp thingy so it's held in place.

Sharpened my spirit today , I was doing the knives in the Knifeblocks , in advance of the weekend ( Canadian Thanksgiving ) . My Nephew is spatchcocking two turkeys ( removing the bones , and cooking on the barbeque ) . Takes about an hour on the Barbie. , can be ruff on knives if you nick a lot of bones . Both his knife block and mine are all sharpened , and ready to rumble . I let the Spirit get in on the action , and touched up the edge .

Best Regards,

Day 2

It was a long office day for me and the Spirit needed no attention there. However, the Spirits scissors seem to work well for shortening those hairs that peek out of your nose sometimes (no pic  :D ).

At home then the Spirits big flat head screwdriver hat to tighten a toilet paper holder that was misused as a handle  ::)

Flipping the other half of the Spirit open allowed more room for screwing action  :tu:

It has to hold up until I have time for remodeling the wall piece behind it.

My Spirit and Swisstool have both done that job more times than the three of us together could count.  I do agree about the diamond side as well.

Day 4.

So this was a happy accident. I read somewhere that you can extend the arms on the scissors and force them to open further by popping them off the spring. This will then allow you to sharpen them. Well, when I tried it, it ended up working and I was able to fully open them. Then I went to put the arm back on the spring, I accidentally bent the spring. So now my scissors open this far. Work perfectly, and close just fine.

It was a long office day again.

Very nice blade , slices well , and a snap to sharpen , love it ! I also like the wire stripper/chisel tool . Not to mention the overbuilt bottle opener , that doubles for light duty prying .

A lot to like on the Spirit X !

Best Regards ,

Chris

I organized some of the Spirit accessories into a spare slip , I had on hand . I added the corkscrew , mainly as it keeps all the accessories in the same place , and keeps an eyeglass screwdriver handy .

Day 5


Used the pliers to fit a split pin in a coupling, I quite like the slightly blunt nose of the pliers, they seem to have more strength than the needle nose Leatherman type when performing any twisting action, and I like the fine serrations!

Totally agree . When you are dealing with cast pliers , the Spirit has a few things going for it , I’ll bet a dollar to a Donut , that Vic’s castings are cleaner than Leatherman’s , the extra hulk at the tips materially adds to the strength . I’ve seem quite a few pictures of broken Leatherman pliers , don’t recall seeing too many of broken Vic. Pliers . For the record , I have only witnessed one Leatherman plier head fail , it eas an original PST , I had gifted to a Dude , who was a bit of a doofus . I have petsonally broken two Gerber plier heads , while doing tasks that should have been within the envelope of safe flight , and failed the stainless handles of two SOG Paratools , while trying to crimp a Telco type “ B” connector . Again only a moderate use of pliers .

It was a pitty , as I quite liked the Paratool , I liked the way you could add and subtract tools from it .

Best Regards,

Chris

Day 05 :


I was out in the hills today with my hunting buddy. We were scouting a new location for hunting elk. Naturally it ended up being more like a 10 mile hike with a few distractions along the way.

We ended up climbing a 7000' hill with a nice view of the countryside:

(https://i.imgur.com/i5ZDxIJ.jpg)


Near the top we came across this remarkable tree:

(https://i.imgur.com/oIMxZRD.jpg)


It had broken, but then started to grow again. Seemed like a nice image of perseverance in hard times.

Snapped this pic of the Spirit back in the forest:

(https://i.imgur.com/TeHPFwK.jpg)


No uses for the Spirit while out in the woods, but, after returning home fairly exhausted, the Spirit went to work raising spirits......

Btw, I've tried the LM bit driver as you use it on the Spirit. And I think it only holds on to the very tip/end of the Phillips which is not ideal.

So I have an idea for Christmas I guess (Victorinox bit wrench).

Oh, that reminds me... I'll have a look at the LM removable bit driver I've once modified to fit the Wave and Rebar. To be continued later today...

I cheat , and put a  wrap of insulation tape around the phillips .

More Day 06 action:


Used the Spirit's scissors to help out with a sewing project. These scissors are workin' for me.

Then it was time to score some bread dough prior to baking. I don't have a lame and usually use a sharp, sharp, sharp paring knife to score the loaf, the Spirit filled in, in this case, since we're in a challenge.  I have to say, coming off the Wave challenge, the LM Wave did this same task a little bit more easily. Nevertheless, the results were satisfactory.

Just ask Mrs Nix.   :D

See the Day 7 pic below. Beauty and scenery pic only. Those who recognise where this was taken will know why I won't be carrying the Spirit around today, nor in the next couple of days. Sadly, the hotel room does not appear to need any repairs, but maybe I'll take things apart just for fun :)

More Day 06 action:


Used the Spirit's scissors to help out with a sewing project. These scissors are workin' for me.

Then it was time to score some bread dough prior to baking. I don't have a lame and usually use a sharp, sharp, sharp paring knife to score the loaf, the Spirit filled in, in this case, since we're in a challenge.  I have to say, coming off the Wave challenge, the LM Wave did this same task a little bit more easily. Nevertheless, the results were satisfactory.

Just ask Mrs Nix.   :D

The place is one gigantic building site... they've apparently decided to increase the density even more and the few pieces of lawn that still existed around the stadium are being gobbled up.

Some opener layer screwdriver observation:

As with nearly all SAKs the can-opener tip is a nice 2D Phillips and normal flat head. The size of the driver is the same on Alox and Celidor models.

But not so on the Spirit  :o

Post by: Nix on October 07, 2018, 03:30:35 PM
True, but it's more of a #2 Phillips.

The Phillips is pretty good even for smaller screws that would normally take a #1 driver, in my experience...

Yeah, I thought the same.
Thinking further about it, the Spirit has a nice small dedicated flat-head driver already, so maybe Vic thought "let's make that a bigger one then".  :think:

Had to remove lime from the water inlet in the flush. We have very hard water here. It's insufficient just to use acid to dissolve the lime because the acid doesn't get everywhere.

Used the spirit to unscrew the button.

Also used the chisel today while discarding some boxes (no pic).

Day 07 :

Spent some time this morning finishing up a small sewing project for Mrs Nix.  Scissors came in handy for snipping bits of thread.

(https://i.imgur.com/bxTooz9.jpg)



In a momentary lapse of attention, I broke a needle. Large driver was perfect for extracting and replacing the broken remains with a new needle.

(https://i.imgur.com/EyMZsRG.jpg)



After one week in the challenge, I think I've used the scissors about 12 times. Other tools have been used once or maybe twice at the most. The knife blade I've used....maybe 4 times.

I originally used an app called photo shrinker. Worked decently for just shrinking pics.

I now use Pixlr, as you can edit and custom resize when you save.

The Pliers Wrench is another great tool.  I keep both because there are a few places where the spanner fits better than the pliers wrench.  Knipex are kind of like olives or cheese, So far I havn't found a Knipex I don't like.

Day 8

My little edc pouch was falling apart so it was time for a new one.

(https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1911/45135163962_3f3f77c936_b.jpg)

They are supposed to be a key and coin pouch, so the spirit scissors were perfect to remove the keyring part

And then get all this lot in.

Day 08 :


Had a chance to get out for a nice day hike with super-dog. Temps were in the 40's, pretty perfect for hiking.

(https://i.imgur.com/QEkYMwv.jpg)


Hard to tell, but that far peak has a fine layer of snow on the top. And those clouds mean more snow on the way.

Super-dog had a good time searching for chipmunks.

(https://i.imgur.com/PnH52f5.jpg)


I kept the gear for today's walk pretty minimal, just the Spirit and a AAA light in my pocket caddy and a small 'survival kit' (with tweezers attached as a zipper pull).

Day 8:

Been loving the spirit so much that I picked up its big brother. In the short few hours of handling it, I can already tell I’m not going to like it nearly as much as I do the spirit. I have the spirit x, so this Swisstool is my first dealing with Vic’s serrated blade. Holy crap they do serrations well. Easily the best serrations I’ve ever used.

Both have belt attachment now, sadly my project is going on freeze. Heading to new place tomorrow and my days gonna be long so sadly i got no time yet to improve my holster very much, i thinked to round corners bit more and maybe add wax or stein so those gives much deeper color to holsters

Day 7

Not much tasks came up for my Spirit today.
The PE blade was used to remove some unwanted spots from an apple. And the scissors opened a new pack of Irish cheddar  :salute:

Both tools worked flawlessly.

Day 09 :

We've got a proper snow storm going on today. Good day to hang out inside and make oatmeal cookies.

Spirit popped out for a glamor shot and then rushed back in.

Not really. The first good snow storm usually happens in September, so things are a bit delayed this year. But it's a start; and better late than never!  :cheers:

EDIT: perhaps you were inquiring after the oatmeal cookies? Yeah, completely normal for me to whip up a batch of cookies while we ride out a storm. Gotta keep up morale!!!  :cheers:

During the September Storm Wave Challenge I carried my Wave with the belt clip and Leatherman did their clip right.  The Wave was easy to carry in the pocket with the clip but was a little large sometimes.  The Spirit on the other hand just all but vanishes carried like this.  I also have stared putting my Zebra Light in my back pocket using its clip.  I keep finding myself panicking because I've carried a MT & Flash light in a pouch on my belt for the better part of 20 years.  Just to end up laughing at myself when I realize everything is ok.  I wish Vic had a clip design for the Spirit.  The Hip Clip is a wondefull alternative it's just not as classy an option as the Wave Clip.

Day 11 :


A fun day today. A buddy and I went looking for elk up in the mountains. It snowed a couple days ago, and we hoped that the snow would reveal where the elk were hiding.

Once again we drove up a jeep trail and then found a 'trail' back up into the mountains:

A cold day, with occasional flurries. I was dressed fairly lightly, but still worked up a sweat climbing up these little mountains:

While hiking, I felt pretty good, but when we stopped for a while, the cold wind chilled me down quickly.

We found a lot of tracks, mostly deer, fox, coyote, rabbit, and squirrel. Some field mouse tracks, too.  Eventually we did find a solitary elk track, but there was no other sign of elk in this area. We were both pretty surprised not to find more elk sign here.

As a scouting trip we were a bit disappointed. But as a nice day hike, it was great. It's hard not to feel grateful when I get to spend a day up in the mountains, even a cold day, with views like this:

Wow, that's pretty good.  :cheers:

I was mainly referring to the difference in the location of the shield, but you nailed it. Top is a slightly older original spirit, now called the XC I guess. The bottom is a little newer spirit X. Both still have the engraved shield on the plier head.

But, unfortunately I'll be keeping them both  :D

That's also nice. Which Weissbier do you prefer?

I prefer Franziskaner, and I can get that here.
But I'm not a huge expert.

Oh, did you try Aventinus from Schneider?  :D

Never mind... :D I know all three but haven't drunk Andechser recently. I like Franziskaner and Schneider Weißbier, the latter reminds me a little of some Belgian white beers.

Giving some serious thought to carrying my Spirit in an ankle rig , at least when working . My belt RealEstate is pretty occupied , pocketsare also full , ditto cargo pockets on work pants . I have carried both blades , spare handcuffs , and small handguns in ankle rigs , might use it for mu Spirit , and my TQ.

Spirit hanging out with freinds , and co workers !


Best Regards

Chris

Absolutely Barry, there's a spring fed stream runs through some woodland and we were laying brush on some of the soggier paths and clearing weeds to ease the flow. I guess being wet just what fens do round here ! Heard some long tailed tits working their way through the wood as family group which is always good.

EDIT - pic attached - sometimes hard to see where the stream stops !

Thanks Barry, when I say woodland I rather think it's mostly water with trees. When the trees topple over they leave big watery holes for the unwary to step into ! And now I can see you've a pumpkin I shall have to turn my mind to something I've never done before ... carve one ! But leaving all that to one side I used the butter blade to slice my lunchtime loaf and very good it was too.

Yeah mine has the filters as well. I’m missing the diffuser one though, just have the white blue and red. Also have  a Chinese made led version, but I like this one a lot more. I changed out the bulb from the regular halogen one to an led. It’s about 175-200 lumens. Not the brightest at all, but very usable especially for walks around the neighborhood. Also use a D shell with a single AA battery with them. So it’s a lot lighter.

Haha Well didn’t really change anything out except the bulb. There’s no extra space because I’m still using a shell that’s the size of D battery, just runs off AA batteries now. These are the ones I have and they work great. Been using them in all my sons toys and swings that require C batteries.

Got a lot of use today using the Spirit and Plus wrench to assemble my sons crib. The long Phillips driver was great to have in some deep sunken screws. And the wrench w/hex bit was a lot more useful than the wimpy hex key they sent with the crib. Was really able to torque down on the screws. The hex but that came with the plus wrench was the only bit I have of that size, so I was grateful to have the plus set.

Pics when I get a satisfactory setup ! I might just Cumshaw , and modify an old double mag pouch , which would be sensible , but like a true leathercraftsman , I’ll have to go the overengineered , overelaborate route !

 I would rig a lanyard , you can run a bit of gutted paracord through the brackets used for the corkscrew , the Spiritis a pretty slick tool , and could easily work it’s way out of pocket  .

I dug a double mag. pouch out of my stash , and set it up with the Spirit + accessories , plus a Surefire light , and a spare CR123A battery . Worth a try .

Tomm . I’ll be in a very secure site , where picture taking is frowned on , they let some of us hang onto our cell phones , as a courtsey . They also have a heavyduty non disclosure agreement in force. I’ll see what I can do before , and after work .

In an attempt to answer the question I borrowed in my previous post, I have been playing around with some paracord in combination with two orifices which I won't be using for their intended purpose - the corkscrew. I've kept the lanyard short for the moment, but could put in a longer piece if necessary (maybe knotted). It doesn't impair any other of the Spirit's functions.

I've kept the lanyard short for the moment, but could put in a longer piece if necessary (maybe knotted). It doesn't impair any other of the Spirit's functions.

After a surprisingly short round of testing, I'm ready to declare this a failure.  :oops: :facepalm:

The knots are fairly thick, which is a good thing if the only quality you're after is to keep the paracord locked in the handle. However, they are thick enough to interfere slightly with the pliers, and massively with the closing of the saw and file. So, no good, at least with this particular paracord. Maybe a thinner version?

The spirit weighs about 2/3 the weight of the Workchamp XL. That monster is too much for EDC.

The spirit is also much more compact. It's not as wide.

I actually like the Leatherman wingman for looks and comfortable feel.
Its my daily carry when working and has served me well for several years, even if the blade is looking a little worse for wear.
But I do have a spare.
However, functionally it lacks a bit against many other multi tools

When I'm camping I carry a Victornox Craftsman, suits most purposes.

I Have also just purchased a Victornox Hercules for when I'm boating and hiking.
Again, its not what I call an attractive knife, but function over aesthetics is my aim.

Now if we are talking good looking knives, as opposed to tools.
I have several Damascus bladed knives that fit that bill nicely.

Welcome to MTO Valkie.
Great post, most of us here in this thread do have a Leatherman MT as well. I love mine.

This thread though is about a 30day challenge where you have to use "one specific" tool only for over 30 days in a row. It's about the Victoinox Spirit in this challenge here.
If you succeed you'll receive a batch and you've most probably learned about the good and bad characteristics of that tool and if it works well for your EDC etc.

Your post is very much welcome anyways  :like:

So far so good Matt.  My son used this tool on a challenge last year when he worked as a carpenter and really put it thru its paces.   I actually prefer the larger Philips screwdriver on my Craftsman and Tinker, and have yet to really put this one to some heavy duty use.  Noah said he did and it worked fine.
Put the Phillips head screwdriver to work again!

I'm an old Leatherman fan, with probably the only longer lasting love of mine being Victorinox.  Carrying the Spirit, I've noticed that this tool feels like it's cut from a whole new cloth.  I can't describe it, but it's there.  What do you all think?

I'd agree with you Barry there's something quite different about the Spirit.

I'm tempted to say it's like comparing Ernest Borgnine with Errol Flynn .... I'd quite like to come up with a comparison maybe between Sigourney Weaver and Audrey Hepburn but I'll leave that thought there shall I ? :facepalm:

The multiblade/chisel is perfect for pencil sharpening; as long as it is sharp, the concave edge allows you to avoid taking off too much material. With use it might be a little bit more difficult to keep sharp than a straight edge.

I had the opportunity to combine two passions of mine today when a neighbor stopped by for a visit with his '72 Karmann Ghia.  The Victorinox screwdrivers work perfectly on the carburetor adjustment screws on the air cooled VW.  It sure brought back some memories of doing maintenance on my own!

Nice Classic there Barry  :cheers:

EDIT - I notice that Victorinox do a watch with a leather strap ... "This new incarnation features a classic leather strap constructed from the same flame-resistant material as firefighters' boots. " Is that them boots Barry ?

Used this bad boy to deburr some cut I did on a shovel with an angle grinder. Victorinox really makes the best all purpose file on a MT. It’s my favorite tool besides the blade. I am disappointed though that the Swisstool uses the older version of the file though. The newer version features on the Spirit is leaps and bounds better.

The differences between them are interesting.

The left and center ones are plus versions, but the left one is slightly smaller and does not have the slot for the corkscrew.

The center and right side two both have more of a grained look to them (which is likely fake, and just pressed in the leather).

The regular pouch on the right is the softest and nicest of the three IMO. The plus pouch on the left is the worst quality. Very stiff and it has actually developed cracks in the leather   :-\

I have a feeling all of them are "genuine" leather at best, and may be some form of bonded leather.  :dunno:

I do like the feel and aesthetics of the regular pouch. It very much reminds me of the original Leatherman PST pouches.

I'm not much into it today, we surprisingly lost our "Little Buddy" Pippen today

RIP Pippy

Sorry to hear that Dougie. There's not a lot one can say, apart from just remember the good times you had together.

 :iagree:
Sorry for your loss Douglas!

Day 21

Preparing for some gardening, to assist the big boys in case it's needed. In the end it wasn't.

Lazy day then I see   :like:

I think I might have found my new camping partner!  The Spirit came through with flying colors this weekend.  I even used the chisel to whittle a branch of wood for a pendant.  The saw was wonderful for cutting kindling, and the file worked great for lighting stubborn strike anywhere matches for our breakfast fire.

That sounds like a proper weekend Barry  :tu:

When I was working HVAC, there were some buildings where they don’t allow phones in there because of the camera capability. I talking government building, computer companies, and another well know service provider for internet. Guards at entrance’s with walk thru metal detectors. As contractors we were escorted to the ladder to get on the roof. There security camera’s everywhere. Security didn’t even have phones with camera...they had to use radio’s they provided. Now thats security!

Day 23

A quick comparison pic with a not quite ordinary Rebar. Sizes are very similar, and so is pocketability in principle...

The Spirit is nice and slim and doesn't weigh down your pockets too much. The mostly rounded edges are friendly to pocket liners. And of course, the Spirit packs a lot of punch for its size. The tools that I have found most exceptionally excellent so far are the file, the bottle opener/large screwdriver/prybar/paperclip bending notch thingy tool and the multiblade/chisel/pencil sharpener tool. These stick head and shoulders above the (stock) Rebar counterparts (although my Rebar VX has undergone some minor upgrades (https://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,74592.msg1796462.html#msg1796462) to attempt to even the score). The can opener looks the part, too, along the usual Vic pattern, although I haven't tried it out yet. The awl is nice, thin and sharp. Pliers similar. The overall build quality has a better feel than the Rebar. And the tools can be reached without opening the handles.

However, during this challenge I've had the Spirit in my pocket most of the times and noted the following downsides:
- Tools open to the outside attract what feels like cubic centimetres of pocket lint.
- It's a pity Vic hasn't thought about a pocket clip or a lanyard attachment. Aftermarket or DIY options are available but most are not as elegant as the original thing would be, others not easy to fashion.
- While fumbling for the Spirit yesterday I cut a finger on the file's edge while this was folded inside the handle.
- And... the Spirit is not easy to mod, generally, as you have to destroy the original pivots...  :(

Tried to file some metal. Didn't realize it was heavy metal. No more gothic dark file. It shines now...

Still usable. But more of it and it goes back so Switzerland.

 :o :o what metal was that? Ferrous?

Day 23:

My 5 year old wanted a heart necklace, and so I told her I'd make her one. Of course, my 3 year old required one too, so I made two.

Spirit helped close the jump rings, cut the leather cord and open the magnetic clasp package.

Stuck drain plug in our bath. Used the Spirit's chisel blade to clean the circumference and remove scaling but that was not thin enough to also lift the plug. Mindful of the relative cost, I decided against using the Spirit's small screwdriver to pry the plug out, leaving this job instead to two vastly cheaper dedicated jewelers' screwdrivers of uncertain origin :D

Watch this space tomorrow as news unfolds regarding a Spirited addition to D_T's small array of MTs...

It works very well.  Unlike the knives, the position of the chisel on the multitool makes it easier to work with.
Either way, I've used them several times and they can really shave wood.

Day 25

Wait - this is not a Spirit?

(https://forum.multitool.org/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=79075.0;attach=401629)

Er... no. I'm just using this pic to illustrate how much I like pocket clips, so much so that I've added one to my Rebar (https://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,79075.msg1796467.html#msg1796467).

Remember when I was musing on the lack of a pocket clip option on a Spirit earlier on in this thread (on several occasions, in fact - you can probably tell I'm a little bit obsessed)? I have seen the Nite-Ize Hip Clip in use on pics, but discarded that option for my Black Spirit due to incompatible colours. I've even briefly considered acquiring a stainless Spirit just for the fun of being able to put a Hip Clip on it, but held off on that - to be quite frank, while very practical, the aesthetics of something stuck on the outside with double-sided tape on something finished to Vic standards don't appeal to me.

That is when serendipity set in. :mail:

I invite you to take a thorough look at the pics below and let the sight sink in for a few minutes before clicking on the spoiler to read more.

No, I didn't mod this myself. While I've done a fair number of mods, this one takes more skills than I possess, not to mention guts.

While this challenge was in full blow I happened to stumble on an offer I simply could not refuse. Grant was offering a few select pieces for sale, among which... a Spirit modified originally by old-time forum member J-sews back in 2007 to include a pocket clip (https://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,858.0.html).

So we settled the deal. Despite looming strike threats, Grant somehow got Canada Post to charter a secretly hidden remaining flyable SR-71 Blackbird to get the Spirit over to Europe, or something equally fast, where it arrived in my mailbox yesterday late afternoon.

Not only does the tool show only the barest minimum of carry signs, all the inside tools and the pliers are as new. The clincher, of course, is the pocket clip.

Not all like pocket clips on a Spirit, but I do (have I told you yet that I like pocket clips?), and this one, done in the neatest, most precise and least intrusive manner imaginable beats whatever attempts I could have made at botching the job.

To stress the 'factory quality' of this mod, which I can now attest to first hand as well, Grant fascinatingly reports that it was done so absolutely well that he had actually convinced upper management at Victorinox that it was a secret prototype sent to him from Ibach that they hadn't heard of yet.

There are, or were, one or two others in MTO who have successfully copied this mod, but this is the one that went first, and set the standard.

DAY 25

Does this count as action?

Thanks, all!

They made me an offer so now comes the tough part: making decisions  :ahhh
What ever you decide I hope it works out best for you and your family!  :hatsoff:
:iagree:
Good luck taking the decision! I know, luck should not play a part in an ideal world, but who says it is?

 :iagree: and eagerly awaiting your decision.   Remember if they are offering, that puts you in the driver's seat.

Day 25/30

Used scissors to cut plaster to my daugjter who got minor scratch on her knee, its real shame that those scissors doesnt open more.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181025/099a9e87998fa5ad064655e59c337585.jpg)

Only Tools Matters

Both knees then?  :facepalm:
Good you had the Spirit to use the scissors  :like:

Sadly just one, she wanted to cover whole scratch and more. So i cutted first large piece, halved it and ended put plasters like cross over her scratch, cause she wanted it like that.

Turnip Jack-o-Lanterns

I'm quite pleased with my first attempt. The size of these turnips did make it easier to work with the Spirit using the drop point blade, the chisel and the awl. The butter blade might've been a bit more challenging for a first effort at this small scale.

As the need to push my EDC to the max has reduced with my new position, I will most likely stick with my Spirit.  I just don't need the Super Heavy Duty Swisstool to get the job done now and the Spirit has all the same features in a lighter version.  Even though the hipclip is not as attractive an option as Leatherman's optional clip system, it works well and I find the Spirit far more pocket friendly than the Wave.  I do however love the Wave's OHO PE blade.  The Spirit is also capable of far more in the same sized package than the Rebar.  I am keeping an eye out for a cheap abused Spirit I could combine with one I already have in a mod allempt  to have a OHO knife blade.  Now that I have over answered the question.

Day 28.

Got my XC Plus with socket on my belt as it's the weekend and the bulk simply doesn't matter round the house. Great kit just not really EDC without a wheelbarrow.

I'm really liking this tool!  I have the Swisstool, but this beauty does the same things with much less weight.  I do prefer the scissors of the Swisstool as they seem more precise... same as the SAKs.  My son was right in that the Spirit is more than just a beauty queen.

Yup, pretty useful :tu:

Such as on this Day 28 for instance, where its chisel blade assists in deburring a 3D printed scale for my ST300VX to hold a pen and Firefly ferro rod.

Day 28/30

Used blade to make sanding shovel, now that heres starting to become icy need sanding shovel so i can spread sand and salt on driveway with it.

I think after this challenge im gonna keep Spirit on my bag, its good but still im bit affraid to use it fully and its get special place on my belt when using suot cause its just fits there better than any other of my tools(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181028/efba30b7628bf358545765770c85b076.jpg)

Matt, I'm with you on the scissors. I have a better experiance using the scissors on my 58mm Classic, except on cable (zip) ties.  The Spirit scissors are awesome on those. :D

Thisjk38,  any day camping is great.  Camping and fishing is Heaven, even if you don't catch any.  :cheers:

Got lucky and found a new blade today, the best kind FREE. :D
Milwaukee Fastback Utility knife.
Needed a little attention, so the Spirit helped me remove the broken pocket clip.  I may or may not replace it.  It's a tool that will see use but I dout I'll carry it as an EDC so no clip is no problem.

Day 30 - last day of the awesome Haunting of the Spirit challenge

I've just been informed that today will be a dreary office day for me, with next to zero probablity of use for the Spirit(s).

This is somewhat less than the spectacular tool-brandishing day I was hoping for...
But: never fear! After due consideration I have decided to mark this special closing day with an

EXTRA INSTALMENT


of the by now world-renowned :clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap:

D_T's [Fill In Day] Morning MT and Coffee Pic TM

Today, featuring for the very first time, not one, but two Spirits in combination not only with a yummy cappuccino (you should really try this, folks, you won't regret it  :drool:), but indeed also some unreasonably healthy snack options  :woohoo:

Anyway, coming back to the challenge, my notes after a month of almost incessant use:
General:
- Nice and pocketable tool with a surprising number of useful tools for the size. I'm going to put Spirits in my tool rotation, for sure. The pocket clip on the silver one makes for a nice and unobtrusive extra feature which enhances carry in almost empty pockets ;). However, no stock lanyard attachment possibilities so if you want to use a dangler, you'll have to rig up an improvised lanyard somehow.
- Outside-access tools easily reachable, but not in gloves
- However, prone to being polluted by pocket lint and other assorted gunk
- Known pros and cons to the bit tools being separate from the main tool...
- Not very easily moddable due to fixed pivots

Surprising special tools:
-That chisel is perfect for opening packages, scraping, pencil sharpening, wire stripping and er... chiseling. I had known a similar tool from other Vic offerings, but not this refined, and the inline position is practical.

Surprising positive effects of otherwise known tools and aspects:
- Bottle opener/ large screwdriver: very sturdy execution makes for good use as a small prybar
- The file is surprisingly good and aggressive on softer materials, better than other Vic files I feel. (However, do not attempt to use on ferrous materials, I hear)
- The curved handles make for surprising good ergonomics in plier mode

Surprising iffy effects of otherwise known tools:
- Putting the awl and hook together saves one tool slot, at the detriment of useability of both: hook arm short, awl also short and has no eyelet, so no sewing possible
- The silver one has the butter knife. Whilst this is sharp enough and the serrations useful on stringy or textile materials, the lack of a point is somewhat disturbing and the sharpness of the edge more difficult to maintain (small, round diamond files come in handy here)
- The scissors are sharp but the effective edge is short and the opening angle narrow, which makes repeated cuts necessary for longer stretches and limits the cuttable material thickness

Unsurprising effects of known Vic (Swisstool) build quality, repeated in the Spirit:
- Gorgeous looks, especially after a polish
- Pliers are nice, good grip, and cutters cut well
- Can opener is Vic standard, i.e. in all probability excellent at opening cans, althoug I haven't tried this specific one.
- Nice long and narrow shaft on the Phillips; Phillips also good for smaller screws (#1?)
- Fixed screwdrivers solid (but edge taper makes for sometimes not altogether perfect fit on screw heads)

Unverified items:
- Corkscrew. I have ordered one but this hasn't arrived yet. A bit fiddly to have this as separate item...

Things I missed:
- Modding opportunities, to create Your Perfect Tool. Vic seems to think theirs is perfectly perfect and there is no need to further increase its perfection.
- Lanyard attachment for those that need it
- Pocket clip option (but realised on the silver one ;))
- Hmmmm. Tweezers and toothpick? Needle? Ballpoint pen? OK, not many plier-based multitools have one. Not stock, that is ;) ;)

This concludes my notes and (official) contributions to this fun challenge. Many thanks to styx for setting this up, and to all contributors for pics, uses and insights :hatsoff: :cheers: :salute:

Great pic and summary of your challenge.  :cheers:
I would agree on your conclusions except the following two points:

- The hook serves as a stand to keep the awl from folding into the handle too deep. The other tools have that too but only here they added the curve to form a hook.

- A lanyard could be attached here. It's not ideal maybe but well useable  :salute:
Title: Re: The haunting of the Spirit (October 30 day Spirit Challenge)
Post by: Dutch_Tooler on October 30, 2018, 11:10:55 AM
Thanks Matt :cheers:
About the hook, I agree it has a function in keeping the awl reachable... but as a hook it's awkwardly located, thus quite a compromise (and not central, but at a handle end, making the "parcel carrier" aspect a little awkward too)... and a longer still reachable awl would have been equally possible by suitably profiling the tang end...
The lanyard: well yes, you could use the corkscrew support(s). You'll forgive me for not finding that very elegant... One could use both of them to keep the tool balanced, but still :think: Somehow these solutions are not in keeping with Vic philosophy as I've come to appreciate it. Some kind of lanyard with holding clips fitting the corkscrew holes should be possible... what if... mumble mumble... :think: :think:

Concluding thoughts:

Well, firstly, thanks to Styx for kicking off the challenge.  With this, I have now completed the trifecta of 30 day challenge badges for tools I commonly use: the minimal SAK, 111mm and spirit.  :tu:

As far as the spirit is concerned, what did this challenge show me? Honestly, it more confirmed again what I already knew.  For me, the spirit is the best pliers based multi out there.  After a period of trial and error several years ago, this is what I settled on for reasons we probably all know: build quality, tool density, fit and finish, warranty, etc.

That being said, given my current career path it is unlikely a pliers based multi will ever be an edc item for me.  Its just too big and bulky for how little I need the added capability.  Honestly, most of the time my spirits rarely see any use, as I usually have a dedicated, full-sized tool at hand.  This has effectively relegated the spirit to a back up, emergency use type role for me.

All that being said, it is a supremely capable tool, and one that has won a spot as my only pliers based multi.  :multi:

Day 28

This was a bit of a busy day here painting sealings. The Spirit helped making a cover from a garbage bag, removing loose splinters from a stick so it doesn't end-up in the paint, securing new felt pads for the ladder and tightening a loose screw on an electrical terminal (the N of the lamp was loose  :o )...

Day 30.

The Haunting of the Turnip .......

It's been a fun challenge thank you Styx and it's been good to rely upon the Spirit. I don't need one as EDC but that doesn't mean it hasn't been good carrying one as a choice. And I think it is a much more polished (literally) tool than my LM Wave. With the Plus tools and a corkscrew (with mini screwdriver) it has everything I need.

The spirit is a wonderful companion out in the woods and also at work in the office.

It will stay in my EDC.

Day 30. Continued.......


Firstly thanks to Styx for organising this challenge and thanks to all the other participants for their excellent posts and pictures.


When I first got my Spirit, my first thoughts were "it's much too shiny to be a serious multitool"

So, when Styx dreamt up this challenge I thought it was a good opportunity to put it to the test.

And test it I did, undoing tough screws, prying, filing steel shafts, even cutting steel shims with the scissors to no ill effect!

I love the pliers with their slightly stubby tips and the fine serrations on the grips, the cutters work great too.

Overall it packs so much into a relatively small form factor and I like how all the tools open from the outside.

The separate bit kit and wrench is brilliant, and as I've said before i prefer it to the Leatherman bit driver.

I can't really think of anything negative to say about it, apart from maybe the size of the scissors!

I've really put it to the test over the last 30 days, it's still smooth to operate, all the tools work as they should and it still looks great, and..........
      ...... It's still shiny  :o

day 30 - oddly little to do so fixed this Zippo

(https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1937/45639258861_fdb351b093_k.jpg) (https://flic.kr/p/2cwZ8Bt)

I wanted this challenge because the Spirit has been a part of my edc in some shape or form since the day I got my paws on it. One of the more interesting things about it is how it shows me what I need in my EDC and what is overkill. For instance I need a smaller, more precise blade like an electrician blade. I could use some scissors. Having an awl and a saw while a must in the past are not often used in my current job. So I'll be looking at an Alox Minichamp
However the Spirit still is a very capable tool that might be a bit too much for pocket carry in the office but as that EDC bag tool that gets pulled out when things get serious it fits the bill perfectly

 :iagree:  Nice summary Phil!  I've learned a new respect for this tool, and I really think it's going to be my hiking/camping edc.  It compares favorably, in my opinion, with the Craftsman which seems to come pretty close toolwise. I think the Spirit  will pocket carry better though!

Day 29

Today the Spirits pliers and blade helped me with the following.

I've got a new set of Leatherman Bits and some of them kept falling out. This seems to be a known problem  ::)
So I came up with the following idea that appears to work fine for me.

1. Remove the bit if it didn't fall out yet
2. Heat up a needle and push it through the holder into the bit compartment (just to the middle, not fully through). The molten plastic will create a bump on both sides of the hole.
3. Remove the needle and the bump on the outer side.

Day 30

Final day for me too now  :salute:
Thanks styx, this was a very enjoyable challenge.
I did come directly from the Wave challenge, just had to wait 2 more days until my Spirit X got delivered, and I was super excited to test it thoroughly of course  :ahhh

So how did it work out for me? Excellent  :2tu:
I don't want to rephrase what others mentioned already, like DT's summary for example.

The scissors are a bit of a let down for me though.
For my uses they sometimes don't open wide enough. And if you cut some sticky tape etc. you want to clean them easily which is a bit of a hassle if you cannot open them fully.

BUT, they do cut precise and well.

Anyhow, the Spirit X plus will stay in my EDC for quite a while I guess  :hatsoff:


...oh, and here are the pictures from today.
Peeled a kiwi, checked a dodgy looking power socket and removed tags and lose threads from my new jacket  :salute:
