Best praise vs top criticism for Victorinox Pioneer X
“I was thinking about getting one for the inline screwdriver, but ended up going with SAK Pioneer X because of price and complaints about weight, bulk, and awl. I love the concept though and I hope LM continues to do further development on these kind of MT.”
“Mid-size is a weird category. Is it for collection and little of substantial use? If you want something with a pliers head, the Leatherman Skeleton, and Roxon M2 (Bond/Curl = NOPE). If you do not need a pliers. The Roxon Flex will become a big deal, but also look at one the Pioneer X Limited Editions or a Cybertool. If you do not already have a Juice or Squirt, do not get one. Secondary market is overpriced, scissors break easily, other implements are prone to rust.”
