New Swisstool
on: April 26, 2010, 09:29:52 PM
After realising that I can't be without the wealth of utility that is packed into a Swisstool I have one on the way. It's a standard which I prefer, and I feel like a kid at Christmas  :D  :mail:

You'll love it.  The only thing I couldn't get past was the weight.  Other than that it's spot on.

It's all mine and it ain't going anywhere  :multi:

Edit Interestingly this one is quite tight compared to some I've had. The sheath feels way slimmer than the one you get with the ST Plus too. Much more comfortable.

The spirit is TOPS.  I wish I still had mine, but it was traded for something that I was sure was better.  NOT!  I will end up with another, some day...

+1 The Swisstool is a formidable multitool  :salute:

I have a heavy bias to Leathermans but when I got my Swisstool RS from Dunc I realised there was more out there besides Leatherman :D

The RS model kicks a$$  :tu:

Thanks for pointing that out mate. I was blissfully unaware of any changes to the manual. I did notice that it's a fairly tight and snappy example of the breed though, and it's great to have an ST about the place again.
