Questions & Answers
Some of the tools that can be seen have multiple functions. Wire and cable cutters, as well as crimpers, are included in the pliers. A small screwdriver and an opener of some sort (which I have never used) are included in the can opener. The other opener is equipped with a large screwdriver and a small notch. The leather awl can be used as both a remmer and a needle. Counting the toothpick and tweezers, there are approximately 16 tools that can be used. This, in my opinion, is the most useful of the Swiss. Almost every day, I use pliers/cutters, scissors, and a small screwdriver. Many Phillips and a common star bit will fit in the small driver. I'm on number seven or eight right now - Keep losing and/or destroying them, but it's always worthwhile to purchase another!
Made in the United States, not China - All Victorinox knives for the Swiss Army are made in the country.
My contract with the manufacturer forbids me from doing so.
Yes. As long as the end of your clip has a small hole, you're good to go. At one end of my knife, there was a small ring, similar to a key ring, that could be used to attach a lanyard or a pocket clip, as long as the clip had a hole in it.
Selected User Reviews For Victorinox Swiss Army Multi-Tool, Tinker Pocket Knife , Red, 91mm
I don't write reviews on this site very often, but when I do, it's because I'm so excited about a product that I can't wait to tell everyone about it. br>For years, I've carried a Victorinox in some form or another in my pocket. When I worked on the ambulance, I carried the Swisstool X and Pioneer, which served me admirably and continue to do so. I've recently started working in an Emergency Room and needed a smaller package to carry around because I now wear scrubs and don't have as many pockets as I did with my EMS Cargo Pants, but I still have full functionality with this. That's where this tiny fellow shines. It's small and portable, but it still provides me with a useful set of tools for my daily tasks. The smaller pliers in particular are useful and enjoyable to use. They're not designed for cutting heavy gauge wire or tightening bolts with 1,000 pounds of torque, but they come in handy in so many situations that I almost try to find an excuse to use them whenever I can. Setting up sterile procedure trays and tools for our physicians during various procedures is one of my responsibilities in the ER. So, because we use a lot of different needles for things like drawing up medications, injections, and fluid drainage, I don't want to get stuck with one when I'm cleaning these trays, so I use my little pliers to carefully root through the assortment of instruments, find the needles, and safely dispose of them. My coworkers have gradually realized that I am the "tool guy," and they come to me whenever they need a small tool or repair. Our "crash cart" had a loose bolt on the wheel that made it difficult to push, which is something you don't want to have to deal with when you're in a hurry. So, using various tools on my Deluxe Tinker, such as pliers and a screwdriver, I was able to get everything fixed, and our engineering department was grateful because it was one less minor issue they had to deal with. br>br>Overall, an excellent piece of equipment with a lovely complement of tools for almost any day-to-day task. I can't say enough good things about this product, and you can't go wrong with anything Victorinox. br>br>*Notice
The photos with the tools extended do not represent the full range of tools available on this Deluxe Tinker; there are many more, I assure you.
It appears to be brand new and shiny, and I was overjoyed to receive it until I attempted to open a tool. It's nearly impossible to get the tools open. I had to find another TOOL to help pry open a couple of the knives, and forget about trying to pry open the scissors, but I was finally successful after two days. (Ok, I've been practicing opening the scissors, and I can now do so with great difficulty, and I cut my finger trying to close them, which is also difficult!!) I was relieved that I didn't require them. If you can get them open, they work great! DARE to try to close them again after that! br>The pliers are the simplest to use, and I enjoy using them, but they are still difficult to open. I haven't been able to open all of the tools yet, so I'm going to give it to my son today to see how he handles it. Thank goodness I'm not one of those women who is concerned with her fingernails. They are completely destroyed by this. I'm not sure if it's a design flaw or an issue with the assembly line, but I couldn't use this knife every day. br>I could return it, or I could give it to my son if he can open the tools and likes it, and I'll buy myself a Leatherman knife. For my keychain, I purchased a micro Leatherman, which I really like. br>OK, as an update, my son is also having trouble opening them and has stated that he will not waste time attempting to open them and will instead return them. br>UPDATE: No, my 6'8" son, who is extremely strong, was unable to open the tools without great difficulty. br>If he is unable to do so, there must be a serious issue. I don't think this is supposed to be this way, so it's either a design flaw, which would explain the positive reviews, or a manufacturing anomaly of some sort. I'll give Amazon a call and see what they have to say. It'd probably be best if I just returned it, because if I were in a situation where I REALLY needed it, I wouldn't be able to muster the creativity and strength required to open the toolsbr>! I doubt I'd have the extra tool required to PRY THEM OPEN ENOUGH TO GET THEM TO START OPENING.
I use this knife frequently to cut boxes, twine, and other materials, and it has never dulled in the time I've had it. The scissors are extremely well-made and well-knifed. The Phillips screwdriver isn't the most practical tool because it can't get into tight spaces, but the flat end of a can opener can be used instead. Because there isn't enough torque, you won't be able to use the pliers as pliers. When I go hiking, I use the pliers to remove splinters or cactus spikes, so I bought this knife. It's a million times better than the tweezers I've been using. I've used the can opener a couple of times and it's fine. There's nothing there to brag about. To be honest, I don't miss the corkscrew, but it could be a deal breaker for some. I simply believe that this model offers excellent value for money, provided that you are aware of the limitations of the small tools included. I don't regret buying it; I keep it in my pocket at all times, and it won't scare anyone if you use it for something other than a traditional pocketknife.
I adore this tool, and it's proven to be so useful that I keep it on my keychain alongside my air pods and car keys. Tweezers and scissors have come in handy for everything kid-related, such as nipping those pesky flyaway strings on clothing and removing splinters with the tweezers. With a lot of grooming equipment, screw drivers with flat and Phillips heads come in handy. Knives come in handy when it comes to unpacking Amazon packages. Plyers have proven to be useful in the house for a variety of tasks. Most recently, I was able to remove pins from a wooden hanger. It's nice not to have to dig through my husband's toolbox to find something for such a silly job. All I have to do is reach for my keys, and the tool will appear. I can't say enough good things about the Tinker Swiss Army knife, and I'm planning on getting a few for some other moms in my life.
