Victorinox SportRatchet

[Dunc]

Its here 

What a beast  I must say I'm really pleased with it . I can see its problems and I wouldnt EDC it , not when theres a swisstool about anyway . Its huge and hasnt that many tools but from a collectors point of view its awsome  Great Victorinox quality and very clever how it all works and goes together .Ive got to go out tonight ( training and then the pub  ) but lots of pics and stuff to come over the next few days in this thread .
  In the mean time if anyone has pics and info they would like to post feel free

  YES ! I just got my sportratchet TODAY !

  And it is VERY NICE but would be hard to EDC because the size and not enough tools in it.

 But if you like VICTORINOX , it's a MUST HAVE TOOL
 No pic's ....Dundc Did a very good job....

 Congrats to both of you for snagging a rare beastie
I had two Sport Ratchets a couple years ago...both had China stamped on the ratcheting mechanism...how about either of you? Any markings?

No there isnt any China Markings on mine . Made me smile when I read in the user guide that they only guarantee the ratchet for one year while the rest of the tool ( swiss made ) is a lifetime . Half of me wants to undo the screws on the ratchet to see inside but I really should leave it alone as I dont want to run the risk of marking it .Another thing to note is the sheath that came with it , its like no other Vic sheath I've ever seen and has no belt loop  Thats about as much use as a chocolate tea pot

Congrates M.TEX on your too

I'm not sure but I think they were trying to crack the American market and got it wrong .

That's as good a theory as any I've heard, still it's nice to own a bit of history of one of the few time's vic got it wrong

So is it a user or a draw queen

[Dunc]

I think a draw queen but one that will get played with while watching TV

I was gona say, I wouldn't carry it while you out at sea, the weight of it would drag you under

[Dunc]

Could use it as an anchor I suppose

Dunc

Well it's a vic so the north sea won't be able to ravage it's appearence with rust

[M.TEX]

 YES as Dunc just said NO OTHER MARKINGS on this NICE TOOL !

 Would be very bad to find a " Made in China " somewhere....

 So    Mate  

 

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

One of you is going to have to write a reveiw of it, for us poor so and so's who haven't got one

[Dunc]

Think I may keep a look out for an AutoTool next

Apart from a spirit, if you get a Autotool that's be the whole range of Vic multi's you'll have got won't it

Did you know that the Cybertool completes the set . Its the only one left from the Victorinox "Lifestyle" tools that was a success and is still in production .

Wasn't there also some sort of golf tool?

(Congrats again on the SportRatchet scores gentlemen!)

[Grant Lamontagne]

The Golf Tool is currently in production.  I don't know if it was part of the same series or not, but it makes sense.

[Dunc]

Yes the Golf tool , sorry guys I had a bit too muck Vodka lastnight and I forgot all about the golf tool  Yeh it is part of the original lifestyle tools .Def is your sheath without a belt loop ?

Dunc

[Grant Lamontagne]

On the Golf Tool?  I don't have a sheath for it.  I don't have a sheath for my Sport Ratchet either.
