Swiss tool spirit s

When using the pliers, your hands only come in contact with the body of the tool and the leaf springs. The body of the tool that makes contact with your hands is rounded which makes gripping the pliers much more comfortable.

Most other multitools have implements that are exposed when the pliers are open, which creates hot spots when gripping the pliers. This can pinch your hand and cause blisters. The wire cutters are a kind of two-in-one design. This is what you would use if you needed to cut something harder, like a finish nail. Many of the features found on the Swisstool are similar or identical to the corresponding tools found on Victorinox Swiss Army Knives. The tools are familiar, and I already know how to use them.

Swisstools come in several varieties, each with its own unique toolset. However, every Swisstool comes with the following tools:.

It is great for general cutting tasks and food prep. Crate Opener: All full-size Swisstools feature a crate opener that doubles as a 7mm flathead screwdriver.

It is thick enough to serve as a small pry bar. Chisel and wire scraper: The chisel is good for general scraping tasks.

It also features a couple of notches for electrical wire stripping and scraping. Cap lifter, screwdriver, and wire stripper: This 3-in-1 tool features a cap lifter bottle opener , flathead screwdriver, and wire stripping notch similar to those found on their traditional Swiss Army Knives.

It is my personal favorite design of any multitool can opener. The flat tip on the end of the can opener works on small flathead screws as well as some Phillips screws. It works really well. Awl: The awl measures about 2 inches long and comes to a nice sharp point. It works well to punch holes in leather and can also drill small holes in wood or plastic. It works on both 1 and 2 Phillips screws.

Small flathead screwdriver: This screwdriver is about 2 inches long and is 2mm wide at the tip. This ensures that the markings will never wear off. On one side, it will measure up to 9 inches, with markings every eighth, quarter, half, and full inch. The other side measures to nearly 23 cm, with markings every millimeter and half a centimeter. While every Swisstool features all of the tools listed above, they also contain additional tools. However, the Swisstool RS was discontinued a couple of years ago.

You still may be able to find one in good shape on eBay. Sheepsfoot Serrated Blade: This blade is about the same length as the main blade.

The serrations are useful when cutting thick rope or straps. They are sharp and cut very well. Seat Belt Cutter: This tool has a curved serrated blade with a blunt end. This allows it to safely slice through a seat belt with ease.

It will also cut through rope or other types of straps. Well, complain no longer. Vic has introduced the Spirit "S" which trades the scissors for a regular blade yeah, I know, some will now want the scissors too, sorry. JonSidneyB Uber Prepared.

I just don't get it.. The Spirit is just an awesome tool, I don't see the need for two blades.. Brangdon Loaded Pockets.

The leatherman and Sog can openers are for naught. Joined: Apr 12, Messages: 71 Likes Received: 0. If you cannot enable cookies in your browser, please contact us — we are always here to help!
