@@chevy4x466 I am not the only one to mention the Explorer, It has all the tools of a Climber plus the inline phillips screwdriver. It is thicker but if you want a thin knife pick the Compact which is on his list. Besides when you get to be an old _uck like me you will appreciate the magnifying glass.

Old *uck here 🙋🏻‍♂️😂... I carried an Explorer for a very long time, then I found the pliers on a deluxe tinker very useful for my day to day... But I did miss the magnifying glass... I ended up getting a little Keychain magnifier I got at Ace hardware, is attached to the keyring on the deluxe tinker

​@@NJRey The Deluxe Tinker is another great model with its super tweezers. That’s the problem with the premise of this video, the five best for who ? The ones listed maybe best for the author but not for his audience and there particular needs. Victorinox is pretty good at addressing a lot of different needs I think it is why most SAK owners have more than one.

I have the Huntsman for camping and outdoors. If I’d had a green or camo colour I’d have lost it several times. I have yellow, easy to see in the grass! Wish they did fluorescent orange! I’d buy those scales! Lol

All very good choices, but I was a bit surprised that the Explorer wan't included. It's one of my favourites fro urban carry ( if I don't want to carry the Swiss Champ and small Tinker for some reason or other ). But that's the joy ( or possibly the curse lol ) of SAKs. There's so many great ones to choose from.

The combo tool definitely works as a can opener. I’ve been purposely buying non-ring pull tins and blasted through about 50 with it. The corner Philips also works. I’ve wandered around my house dismantling all manner of shit just to test it out 😅

It does make a good can opener. My favorite are the Wenger claw can openers though. Too bad they can't be used as a screwdriver tho.

Great selection there Slippy, i still need to add a Tinker variant to the collection, maybe in black! I have a Fieldmaster, which i believe is the Huntsman but with a philips driver instead of the corkscrew. But the compact is the one I tend to pull out the drawer, a perfect all-rounder for me.

I would definitely trade out the Mountaineer for the Explorer. I get the rest though I'm conflicted on the Compact.

How do you find the combo tool as a replacement for the full opener layer? It seems like it would be harder to use in a Phillips screw versus the 2D Phillips on the end of the can opener.

To be honest I haven't used it a whole bunch but it is a great little tool!

Nice one, Slippy! They’re growing on me. I only have a Swiss Army 1 and a Floral and a Pruner at the moment… all just single bladed. I could probably do with the Compact since it’s just two layers. But I’ll have to work up to the multi-layered big boys. Good stuff as always, mate👊🏻

Some pins work better than others but the design of the holder is clever as it bends the pin first one way and then the other to hold it in.

I don’t understand either. Not the world we grew up in, Jerry. Most guys at my high school had a very obvious belt sheath and a 110 and it was never an issue. I just got my first Victorinox since I was a kid too. It’s a Swiss Army 1. Just has a single blade and that’s it, so I’m not sure it really counts. I do love it though and the Alox scales are sweet! And I have a Floral/Gardening knife and a Pruner knife on the way… and they both have just single blades too.🤣

Cool!
