Processing very good, choice and style of some tools not fully satisfactory

I have the SwissTool Spirit Plus for a year now in use. When I bought it, were the Leatherman Wave and Charge TTi shortlisted because I wanted a medium-weight, yet versatile multitool. So I have all three ordered from Amazon and they took home in peace inspected. It was important for me in the presence of a pair of scissors, so much the Spirit model with smooth blade and serrated blade. I then finally decided on the serrated blade, when I heard she was very sharp.

In comparison to the two models, the Leatherman Spirit Plus is significantly better precision and processed (no sharp edges, etc.). It was from the start smoothly, the tools unlocked clean, in contrary to the Leatherman's - there it scraped in almost every joint.
Furthermore, I found the standard bits better than the Flachbits Leatherman, although the extra-wrench in my opinion is indeed practical, but extra weight and a higher probability of loss brings.

Personally I find the Leatherman blade with her hand opening more practical, but they bring a certain legal uncertainty (like all Einhandmesser). They are sharp, the mechanism for releasing the locking is not as well resolved as in the SwissTool whose serrated blade is extremely sharp, in fact, the lack of a tip and serrated restrict the bandwidth usage but unfortunately something a.
The tools of the SwissTool are all individually without any problems and can be reached from the outside. Unlike the Leatherman's, there it can happen that you open multiple tools simultaneously and you have the multitool first open course.

The included leather belt pouch is of good quality, at the beginning a little stiff. It is designed for the tool and pick up the accessories, which makes it somewhat clunky. The whole is then also quite heavy, with vollbesetzem Bitholder come nearly 400 g of the belt (you get used to it;))

The steel used by Victorinox seems to be quite soft, so the awl has quickly gotten up a few notches with me, the Phillips screwdriver has also slightly deformed over time. Everything but not as dramatic.

The SwissTool was mentioned to me as above, in the past year a daily and faithful companion. But I will now probably replace it against a Leatherman Surge, because the blades and their way of opening me there but liked better. Had the tool already at home, unfortunately it was not to close without much force and injury. So much for the Leatherman processing;) I admit the Leatherman still a chance if this fails again, the SwissTool Spirit Plus still remains on my belt.

In conclusion, if you want an excellently crafted and well thought multitool, is in good hands at the Spirit Plus. One should only think about it in advance what type of blade is the right for you and if you need a pair of scissors. Since I chose the blade, I can deduct any stars for their limited usefulness, for the softness of the steel I might deduct 0.5 stars, since it is not serious. That is: 5 stars (with a few limitations)
