This tools has a better finish than the American, and all the blades are on the outside and all of them lock.

Combine this with a Leatherman Micra and you have everything you need for light and heavy duty work, unless you are a plumber!

Great Tool for the office or at home!Mar 12, 2000
By David Vine
I purchased this GEM when it first came out and have never regretted it. My job requires me to do a variety of network installations from regular Phone lines to Ethernets. The wire cutter and strippers have proven invaluable. The Crosscut saw has proven a worthy drywall saw, and the chisel has proven more handy then I could ever imagined. But one of the most outstanding feature that sets this knife a step above the rest is the fact that each item securely locks into place (no more worries about knocking your knuckles). If you need a SOLID multi-tool that can help you at home or on the job, You Have Found IT!

Truly the Best - Better than LeathermanDec 28, 1999

The Leatherman Wave is a fine product but this one is even better and more versatile. The only thing this product doesn't have is scissors so I also carry the Leatherman Micra!

Best tool I've seen out thereMar 06, 2003
By C. Bornfleth
I am an Airline Mechanic so I have the opportunity to see and test out all kinds of tools. Quite a few guys have the leatherman wave, probably the next best multitool, but I have seen quite a few of them go sloppy after much use because the only thing keeping it folded up is friction. The Swisstool on the other hand, uses leaf springs and locking mechanisms so the durability is head and shoulders above the leatherman. Some complain about the size, but if your looking for a TOOL and not a stocking stuffer, you are going to want the Swisstool... It is just a plain better guality tool.

An eye for detailJul 17, 2003
By Abe Vigoda "part-time inventor"
One of the two best multi-tools on the market today. (the other being the Leatherman SuperTool 200)

PROS:
1) Strong pliers with comfortable grip
2) All blades can open while pliers are closed and all blades lock
3) Useful Chisel blade
4) Anti-rust finish
5) Heavy Duty steel

CONS:
1) The file on the "X" model seems to be made of aluminum. After some use the "steel" plating chipped off. The Leatherman file is much tougher and can be used on wood or metal.
2) You might break your nails trying to open the blades.

*UPDATE*
>> I sold sold the "X" model and purchased the "RS" model thereby trading the cheap file for a curved serrated blade. I like this tool much better now.
