I have LOTS of experience with multitools. I originally bought this while deployed in Iraq after having broken my third multitool during tour, on a whim, as I'd literally tried everything else they had at the PX. Most multitools are weak around the pliers: I've sheared the pliers off pretty much every brand multitool EXCEPT this one. Alas, after a few years, I lost my original SwissTool in some equipment (I believe) and couldn't find another. Ended up going to the Victorinox store in NYC, and they had (1) left, which I swiftly purchased. This second SwissTool has never left my side. As I sit here at this desk and type, it remains in a prominent position on my desk near the keyboard, as I use it all the time.
Some important points I have to elaborate upon if you're not sure on this purchase: * This is practically the only pair of pliers that won't accidentally give you a pinch-related blister (Looking at you Gerber) * The mechanism that locks/releases tools is incredibly resilient. In mine, it remains as smooth and reliable as the day I bought it. I suppose I could put some 4-in-1 oil or something in there, but I like the slight resistance from years and years of use. * The model I have is a few years old: the only difference I can identify with scrutiny is that mine has a curved serrated blade in place of the file. * On countless occasions I've put the pliers through their paces. We're talking double-fisted, vein-popping stress, and it has held up phenomenally. * The pliers also make great wire strippers when you're in a clinch. * the reamer/punch makes for a great "I need a hole in something quick" tool. * the metalwork is silky smooth with no rough edges to get your hand pinched on/in/between. * seriously, I'm thinking of buying this, even though I already have one, b/c at $89 this is a steal in my opinion

With respect to the "vs Leatherman" ergonomics - the Victorinox is structurally similar to the original Leatherman, but has the handles "the other way around" from the Leatherman, and includes a blade/tool lock feature. I never understood why Leatherman was so freakin dumb when they designed their palm-lacerating handles, but the Victorinox does the obviously right thing and puts the tools outside when the pliers are closed, and inside when they're open.

Issued this in black as a recon/ranger in the Norwegian Army. Excellent tool, I much prefer it to the Leatherman. Built like a tank too.

Just signed on for this drop, but it's the same price at Swiss Knife Shop with their 10% first-time discount. I want to support Massdrop but wish they would negotiate a little harder!

I echo what others have said, there is no equal when it comes to these Swiss tools. I have carried one every shift on my uniform at the fd for twenty plus years, still going strong.

I'm in the market for a new multitool. My current one is beat to death, and they dont make anymore.
Does this one have pliers? And what does it look like when you use them?
This kind of looks like the OG Leatherman with it's uncomfortable handles.

CalaverasgrandeThe SwissTool's are classics. They are amongst the best, most comfortable multitool designs available. The main difference between the swisstool and the Swisstool X is the main blade shape. The X having a pen shaped blade as opposed to the non-X which has a serrated sheepsfoot style blade.

I have one that I bought from a famous deal-a-day site last January for $20 lower price, and it still included the nylon pouch. It's a great tool and I've used it frequently.
My one complaint is that the pliers are not spring-loaded, so you have to manually pull them open or use gravity.
