no pocket should be without it |
I have been using this knife for ten solid years now and my only regret is when I forget to bring it with me. I often refer to the Victorinox S.A. Deluxe Tinker as my third hand(as do other reviewers) and it is treated as such. I have used every tool on this knife and they all have withstood quite a bit of abuse, -and still work perfectly. I do not need to remind owners of this knife about often you hear the phrase, "hey can I borrow your knife?" and they are soon envious that they do not own one.
The medium size of this knife is very satisfying and its has a little weight to it so you won't forget it is in your pocket. For me every tool is an asset, even the boot lace puller -especially for a snowboarder who towards the end of the day has cold fingers and loose boots!!!
The only thing it lacks now is, the toothpick it came with, but that is replaceable. Also, I have filed down the mini screwdriver on the can opener blade to right angles and a slimmer profile to make it more useful for tiny screws like on eyeglass frames.
This knife is well worth every penny.

Great Pocket Tool |
|
Since purchasing my first Victorinox knife last year, I've become a fan. The fit and finish on these is excellent, and they are durable, useful tools. The Deluxe Tinker has a very useful tool set, and is still easily pocketable. The only thing that I'd change on it, would be the addition of "Plus" scales(for the pen), and I prefer the in line Phillip screwdriver on my Explorer (as opposed to the Phillips on the reverse of the Deluxe Tinker). Still, the Deluxe Tinker is hard to beat if you're looking for a useful pocket tool that doesn't cause your pants to droop. I'd much rather carry the Deluxe Tinker than any of my regular pliers based multi-tools. Highly recommend. |

"Go-to" Quality |
|
This is an excelent tool, no two ways about it. I first got a Victorinox knife from the retail store I work at. I loved that one. So, when I thought I lost it I went on Marketadvisory to search for a viable replacement. The thing I like about Victorinox knives is their simple but solid construction. I like multi tools that handle more like pliers, but they have their place. Alot of the time those types of multi tools tend to be bulky and heavy. This knife is just about perfect both in size and weight, and of course the quality is there as it always is with Victorinox. MY only challenge is trying to find how many applications I can use this on. I recommend this knife to anyone looking for quality and value. |

Swiss Army knife |

Excellent product. The shipping was hilarious - the box was big enough to hold a pillow, and all that was in it, other than the packing, was this little pocket knife! John |
