Lubricate the pliers for sandwiches

With a versatile multitool I was always on the go. I started had sent years ago with a Gerber tool that I very quickly in the hand but due to rough processing and painful when powerful Use the pliers back to the seller.

For many years I had the larger version of the Victorinox tools: SwissTool CS Plus in my luggage, even as a daily companion. If you have such a tool, it's really helpful: Nachschrauben of creaking beds in hostels, make them fit of Belgian outlets (because I did not have the adapter here), adjust clamping window new, electrical repairs to the car, technically almost perfect water wheels with the kids build, Camping prepare meals. For nuts on the car, the tool is not suitable and need to pinch the embarrassment when clearing minefields barbed wire fences, I never got.

And since we are at it, what such a tool can at all? I am excited about the versatility, knowing that just now also limits the Versatile. What bothered me the great tool, were the straight handles of the pliers. When using the pliers I could not work properly with force because the handles easily rise too far. And if you have the tool every day while, the weight makes but eventually felt.

By forgetfulness I have this tool then have to give the metal detector at an airport, a great pity.

Now I have Victorinox Swiss Tool Spirit Plus bought. The forceps is, because of the curved handles, much better in the hand gun and bits I already knew and are excellent for use (30 Nm with the gun are very neat) that getting used knife is ideal for meals (has considerable advantages over the known acute Blade style) but also carvings are quite feasible, where the tip of the knife is missing helps the chisel, the wood saw is in a known Victorinox quality and works just fine, file and hacksaw also (better than the large tool). The gap is very stable and with the new spring design function safer to handle, a pity that you have not the possible 7 mm longer (usable cutting length of scissors only 12 mm) and the edges are slightly thinner. All other functions of the function description function as they should: bottles go on, cork go out, go out there and clean screws, bushings go on, holes with the awl are not a problem and car windows can hit also. Also worth mentioning and very helpful for safe working: All functions lock very secure and can be easily unlocked again, sign of the high quality level.

Conclusion: The Spirit is for me, just the more versatile, maybe even better tool for everything and ideal for use by the handiness, the high quality, the functionality, the weight.
