Title: What are your 10 favorite tools?
Post by: Wootz on February 18, 2013, 02:32:43 PM
I'm curious which tools from Vic or Wenger you adore and/or use the most.

My 10 favs are:

1. Large blade from the standard Ranger

2. Small blade from the Executive

3. Inline reamer from the Pioneer

4. Needlenoose pliers from the Spirit

5. Nailfile with "rounded" tip from the smooth Alox Executive

6. Locking screwdrivers from Wenger

7. Fine flathead screwdriver from the Technician

8. Large woodsaw from the 111mm

9. Phillips/combotool from the 58mm

10. Chisel/combotool from the Swisstool

Vics-

1. 91mm small blade

4. 93mm large blade
5. 91/111mm pliers
6. 91mm corkscrew
7. 91mm awl
8. 91mm caplifter/phillips
9. 93mm marlinspike

Fish scaler is a great tool. You just need to use your imagination. Not in my top ten list but I don't mind having it in a Swisschamp. It is the perfect blade to magnetize and fish screws and pins from tight places.

I like the tool as well. Not just a fishscaler, officialy it's a ruler/marker too.
And to stir my coffee with lots of sugar.   :)
