Best praise vs top criticism for Victorinox Cadet
Best Praise
+8 pts“I bought a swisstool and an arc to compare recently. I like victorinox tools on my smaller pocket knives (cadets, classic, bantam) but they definitely feel thinner than the LM. I will give the Vic tools a slight edge in material - ive never broken anything, while I've broken a spring on a LM micra before. I do prefer the LM because I can take it apart and repair if necessary, but in Vic's defense, I've never broken a tool. They "flex" more than the LM tools so you can kind of tell when they're near their limit. In the end, I kept the Arc - tools felt more useful. Both probably would've been fine for a multitool though.”

+1 pts“Minimal but chunky? Can't help you there. I'd reccomend the Victorinox Pioneer, but modify it by grinding down the can opener "blade" to make a long and thin flathead, which also works very well as a 2-D Phillips driver. The tool works as a Phillips driver as-is, but the mod allows extra reach for countersunk screws. I suggested the Pioneer because the flat head is definitely stout enough to be used for prying (I would hesitate to recommend prying with a similar, but slimmer Cadet or Spartan). The Pioneer also has a bit of heft, and a small key ring you can use to clip onto a tether or a pocket dangler, so it will be harder to lose.”
