Best praise vs top criticism for Victorinox Tinker
“I bought 9 of those wallet card multitools years ago--never used it once gave them away. Two days ago I bought a folding key knife, serrated bottle opener, philips, flat tip. Useless though I might use it if it's the first thing I grap. I can't seem to beat the Victorinox Tinker (no scissors model)-had for over 40 years or so-key chain EDC and now the Leatherman ARC--EDC in my coveralls...the Tinker and / or ARC get used daily All these other things are conversation pieces and fidget toys.”
“Nebo light stays in my pocket incase my “pen” light dies, its brighter too for dark houses or barns etc The pen is just a pen that my service gave me nothing special Skeletool simply cause the blade is faster to deploy then any other ones I have, I have a tinker but I prefer the pocket clip on the skeletool”
