interesting little rig .... it appears to be one of those multi tools that can be used to do a little bit of a number of things

Interesting. First multi-tool I've seen with components stored inside an axe blade.
What are the lengths of the axe handle and axe head?

The only stat I could find on their UK site is that it is made from 420 steel, which is good quality material.

I look at such multitools as being a jack of all trades and master of none. Pure novelty.

I have a small collection of Victorinox/SAK multi-tools. A Super TInker is my go-to EDC, and there isn't a day that this "jack-of-all-trades" is idle.

For almost 10 years I lived in very small apartments and never had room for most of my tools. Had to store them in the garage. Just 6 months ago I moved into a house and have a small work shop in the basement. Unpacking my tool boxes, I found quite a number of the smaller hand tools became rusted. Rather than buying the tools again, I've ramped up using my Victorinox multi-tool called the "Swiss Tool Spirit." I posted about this when I bought it two years ago.

I don't plan on replacing the lost small hand tools. The Swiss Tool Spirit is filling the needs quite well.

BTW, on my larger Victorinox Forester multi-tool, I found I have a much-needed gunsmith flat-head screwdriver. It's the only screwdriver I have that removes the large cylinder lock plate screw on the frame of my Russian 45 Colt top break revolver. Have to do this in order to remove the cylinder to clean it, and also to gain access to clean the revolver barrel. It was one of those surprises that brought a grin to my face. SAKs are great multi-tools, and my favorite brand of knives.

Wasn't trying to step on any toes. Tools have been a big part of my whole life and I've learned over the years, it's better to use the tool intended for the job. That's why I have so many I guess, and I'm still buying them. Passed this affliction on to my son and when I'm gone he will hit the bonanza. Don't get me wrong. In a pinch I can get by with a rock and a stick if that's all I have but life is so much easier with the right tool. Shoot! I drive a Jeep so anything will do in a pinch.

Thanks, Jim. The video clearly tells the stats story.

I have carried my Victorinox Multi on my side for MANY years. Feel in-complete without it. Has gotten me and others out trouble on a lot of occasions. I don't leave home without it. A lot of quality tools in a small package!
