    While the description says "tool only" it does come with one each of a bi-metal kzread.infoUgkx0vyBwjtx9GGOuiqUVT2sRoYqmDoNT_RI and HCS blade plus an adaptor plate for non-DeWalt blades. Wish I had known that before I bought the blade kit, but oh well. Since I already have a DeWalt drill, charger and batteries there was no need to buy more of those so this was a great deal.There is one other consideration. DeWalt does't sell the depth guide separately so you need to buy the three parts which make it up -- the N275350 block assy, the N275341 metal rod and the N278801 knob. Amazon does sell all three.

    Of course this is your view point, and thank you for that. In my opinion Leatherman in last 30 years is the best. On the other hand when I fly light I can’t have any knife on me so I make my edc tins with sawing , screw driver and plyers only and here comes Swiss tech. Mini but stronger then victorinox plyers stripped of the rest tools ( only flash light left ) and added hex bit end on other side makes me the minimum on board of the plane. So you’re right about Swiss Tech

    I just got my SwissTech and outside of the issues, it's exactly what I needed. My scissors are bent a little making the spring bar slip off and making it harder to close. The main blade rubs when closing too. I sent the Ali retailer a message and will see what they want to do. Hopefully it's just this one. Seems like it was crushed a little or something.

    I ordered 3 of them right after watching your video. They arrived yesterday. I had intended to use them for Christmas presents. Took one to work today only to find the assembly is much too tight. I tried to loosen it up but stripped a couple of screw heads. Seems like a T9 size with a ridiculous amount of locktite. I haven’t been able to loosen the knife/saw side: impossible to deploy one handed. Hopefully the other two are better assembled. Really love the scales compared to the modded Multiforce.

    For me the perfect sak is the Swisstool, same quality, locking tools and a clip, comes also with oho blades for those that need them. Its heavy but the clip negates that almost perfectly. I think to compete with Victorinox is almost impossible, i got a 83 years old Victorinox and that still works fine but if it didnt they would fix that for me no questions asked.

    Alox farmer with a titanium pocket clip on the ring (this makes is suspended = goodness). Benchmade 710 in the other pocket, Olight S20 in the 3rd and signal in the bag, raptor + cat tourniquet + israeli bandage on the side of the bag. This setup is pretty stable for years, I still use proper tools when possible, but most of the time it's faster just to tinker with a multitool and get things done without moving, without delay. It's all a question of lazyness. This SWISS TECH 11 in 1 is an interesting proposition.

    Hi been subscribed for a while now, really like you honesty and flashlight videos. Bought the SwissTech multitool after watching this video planning to modify it. After I ordered one I saw your short video that it can't be modded as you thought it could. A shame but still looked like a nice budget option. Upon receiving it the drama started though, the clip was a bit loose so went out and got 2 torx 8 drivers to fasten it. Only to find out that the screws immediately stripped on tightening, because they already drove it in slightly at an angle, pre damaging the threads. The Ali express buyer doesn't even respond to my complaint. And now I have the issue I found a lot of other people on this and other videos having issues with quality. I really think its not a product you can stand behind seeing al the issues. Just wanted to let you know since I really enjoy your videos and value your opinions. keep up the good work!

    This Swiss Tech 11-in-1 is like one half of the 17-in-1 pliers-based MT. The only difference is the bit driver versus Phillips and flat head s/driver at one end. I'm going to split my 17-in-1 to make a SAK-type knife.

    Very good tool! Just an insane idea... but the washers on the sides on the bit driver... could be replaced by the small flat head scredriver? Or the other way around better, so the bit driver + small flat head driver on the locking side, and the rest on the non locking side? Sadly, these kind of tools are not easy to find in Argentina... I would love to try them!

    What I don't get is why don't victorinox make 1 handed opening tools for the US market? In Germany we need to have two handed (if it's locking). It's a must. Even leatherman made a 2h wave version which I assume is focused on the european market. So it would just make sense for victorinox to do the same for the US market. Especially considering one of their partners, Felix Immler, already made a video on how to make a 1 hand opening mod.

    1. The 111mm and 130mm series is both (mostly) one handed and locking. 2. Victorinox starts as an European company and they verge towards European market. European knife laws are very restricted and it would be extremely stupid, from them, to complicate their business model (which relies on industrial stamping sheets tool that can be sold extremely affordable but still being made in Europe, which is a huge plus for the whole world market since European “made in” is a guarantee stamp, even renowned like the Italian one (DOCs and such)) and it would be stupid since they would not sell in Europe, Asia and Australia/NZ as much as their other models. That’s why.
