    While the description says "tool only" it does come with one each of a bi-metal th-cam.com/users/postUgkx0vyBwjtx9GGOuiqUVT2sRoYqmDoNT_RI and HCS blade plus an adaptor plate for non-DeWalt blades. Wish I had known that before I bought the blade kit, but oh well. Since I already have a DeWalt drill, charger and batteries there was no need to buy more of those so this was a great deal.There is one other consideration. DeWalt does't sell the depth guide separately so you need to buy the three parts which make it up -- the N275350 block assy, the N275341 metal rod and the N278801 knob. Amazon does sell all three.

    Totally agree with your assessments. Victorinox still rules the market because of the criteria you mentioned and the aesthetics or the elegant/streamlined "look" it has.

I find it's not too heavy and yet feels sturdy and strong. I have Leatherman of all shapes and sizes and a few Sog, don't get me wrong, they all great. I personally just prefer Victorinox products, and like you said, lifetime guarantee. Great video sir

    Great vid!! We all know Victorinox is the king on pocket carry ! I do have the nextool and the swiss+tech, and on my case the nextool is better for the applications I have on my every day. The best about edc is that it adjusts to every user differently. Take care and keep it up!!

  • @Grayson_Baker

    Great video. Agree with you about the Screwdriver lock, it would be even better if it had the 90 and 180 degree lock on the screwdriver. I would also add the surge bit adapter thingy for a file and saw. Then add a tweezers in there somehow.

    Another good detailed assessment and opinion of what's out there👍 Im still sticking with my Victorinox One Handed Trekker with an optional pair of small Knipex Cobra pliers in pocket depending on the edc potential needs of the day. I'm just One of those folks that hardly ever needs a set of pliers when I don't already have a substantial tool kit with me so I don't often carry a pair of pliers on body for edc.

    I love my Victorinox SAKs because they are so adaptable. Swiss+Tech's latest multitools all have the locking feature and while their finish is very good, nothing beats the versatility of SAKs which I've used all my life, and in my medical job. Nothing beats high quality. It lasts far longer.

    Alox farmer with a titanium pocket clip on the ring (this makes is suspended = goodness). Benchmade 710 in the other pocket, Olight S20 in the 3rd and signal in the bag, raptor + cat tourniquet + israeli bandage on the side of the bag. This setup is pretty stable for years, I still use proper tools when possible, but most of the time it's faster just to tinker with a multitool and get things done without moving, without delay. It's all a question of lazyness. This SWISS TECH 11 in 1 is an interesting proposition.

  • @peddypeoples941
    @peddypeoples941 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    For me the perfect sak is the Swisstool, same quality, locking tools and a clip, comes also with oho blades for those that need them. Its heavy but the clip negates that almost perfectly. I think to compete with Victorinox is almost impossible, i got a 83 years old Victorinox and that still works fine but if it didnt they would fix that for me no questions asked.

    I just got my SwissTech and outside of the issues, it's exactly what I needed. My scissors are bent a little making the spring bar slip off and making it harder to close. The main blade rubs when closing too. I sent the Ali retailer a message and will see what they want to do. Hopefully it's just this one. Seems like it was crushed a little or something.

    With the exception of the pull tool, that's pretty much exactly what I ended up with when I modded what was left of my Multiforce when the pliers broke. And I put the bit driver on the locking side! Very cool. I share your fascination and consternation with this stuff. Having said that, I've been carrying Victorinox knives for so many years that I don't really "miss" some of those nice features you talked about. Really enjoyed this one. Thank you.

    I ordered 3 of them right after watching your video. They arrived yesterday. I had intended to use them for Christmas presents. Took one to work today only to find the assembly is much too tight. I tried to loosen it up but stripped a couple of screw heads. Seems like a T9 size with a ridiculous amount of locktite. I haven’t been able to loosen the knife/saw side: impossible to deploy one handed. Hopefully the other two are better assembled. Really love the scales compared to the modded Multiforce.

  • @marcinsykut497
    @marcinsykut497 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Of course this is your view point, and thank you for that. In my opinion Leatherman in last 30 years is the best. On the other hand when I fly light I can’t have any knife on me so I make my edc tins with sawing , screw driver and plyers only and here comes Swiss tech. Mini but stronger then victorinox plyers stripped of the rest tools ( only flash light left ) and added hex bit end on other side makes me the minimum on board of the plane. So you’re right about Swiss Tech

  • @ParkerBinion

    Dom - Here's one that checks all 3 boxes: Ben Petersen's Civivi Sendy. Pocket clip. One handed opening (really cool in line back flipper with insane action). Liner lock (dead on 50%). The drop point is very similar in size (slightly bigger) than a 93mm Alox. It comes in NitroV (essentially 14c28n) and has tweezers and a toothpick. Pairs great with a 58mm pen model or a SwissCard, particularly for a night on the town. And the fidget factor is off the charts.

    Hi been subscribed for a while now, really like you honesty and flashlight videos.
    Bought the SwissTech multitool after watching this video planning to modify it. After I ordered one I saw your short video that it can't be modded as you thought it could. A shame but still looked like a nice budget option.
    Upon receiving it the drama started though, the clip was a bit loose so went out and got 2 torx 8 drivers to fasten it. Only to find out that the screws immediately stripped on tightening, because they already drove it in slightly at an angle, pre damaging the threads.
    The Ali express buyer doesn't even respond to my complaint. And now I have the issue I found a lot of other people on this and other videos having issues with quality. I really think its not a product you can stand behind seeing al the issues. Just wanted to let you know since I really enjoy your videos and value your opinions. keep up the good work!

    I really like the form factor of the swisstech/ 1/2 multitool. If they could make it will all locking tools and a T-shank saw, it would be a home run.
    Wait a sec... can you disassemble the tool and swap the tool orientations and make the 1/4 bit holder locking?! It sure looks like it here 7:07

    What I don't get is why don't victorinox make 1 handed opening tools for the US market? In Germany we need to have two handed (if it's locking). It's a must. Even leatherman made a 2h wave version which I assume is focused on the european market. So it would just make sense for victorinox to do the same for the US market. Especially considering one of their partners, Felix Immler, already made a video on how to make a 1 hand opening mod.

    • @clintwestwood3539
      @clintwestwood3539 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      1. The 111mm and 130mm series is both (mostly) one handed and locking.
      2. Victorinox starts as an European company and they verge towards European market. European knife laws are very restricted and it would be extremely stupid, from them, to complicate their business model (which relies on industrial stamping sheets tool that can be sold extremely affordable but still being made in Europe, which is a huge plus for the whole world market since European “made in” is a guarantee stamp, even renowned like the Italian one (DOCs and such)) and it would be stupid since they would not sell in Europe, Asia and Australia/NZ as much as their other models.
      That’s why.
