just got my SWISSTOOL SPIRIT X in the mail today from Tim!  :multi: I'm kind of shocked, I was expecting something bigger! I also wasn't expecting every tool to be covered in grease, is that normal? :think: Finally I've gotten a multitool! And now the addiction begins...  :oops:

Pics to come soon.  :cheers:

Just wipe it off. Anything you can get to with a rag is not needed.

I'm going to have lunch/dinner/whathaveyou, and while I'm upstairs I'll grab my camera. Really nothing special about it, just a standard Spirit X  ;)

I received mine today  :mail: :ahhh,the SwissTool Spirit X.
One word WOW! :o  :drool:,this thing is the best I ever see (plus SwissTool of course  :D)
There is ABSOLUTELY NO PLAY in every tools!
Everything is smooth and tight!
The tool is SO COMFORTABLE especially pliers!
Hands down,the best multitool ever made is SwissTool and SwissTool Spirit,
and they are great EDC,but Spirit is just SUPERB multitool!

P.S. About scissors,I so like it,they cut more easily than Swisstool scissors,maybe because of design,
       but they just amazing!!!


I try to use a LM Surge,ST300,Wave......but SwissTool remain the best multitool for me :)

What a slippery slope you started down but at least you took the first step in admitting that you have a problem.  ::)

My advice is get off this forum and stay away from Grant if you want to save your money and sanity. :pok:

Congrats on your new "baby". :cheers:

Man, this thing is really fantastic. I love it already! I really need to get a maxpedition sheath for it though, carrying the case vertically (since it's so long and narrow) really is uncomfortable sitting down :\
