To make it comprehensiv: victorinox plier based multitool are called "swiss tool" there is 2 kind of swiss tools: regular and "spirit" the one in this video is a "spirit" kind, regular are more bulky and have 1 or 2 more tools (a prybar and a ruler on the side if I'm not wrong) but are less comfortable. then there is letters: M stand for 1 hand opening X stand for scissors (instead of a serrated secondary blade) BS stand for black version then there is a word: plus stand for having a case with a corkscrew (that connect to the tool to be used), a glasses screwdriver and a bit kit (can be with ratchet) clip obviously stand for the clip. the exceptions are the swiss tool mxbs and the swiss tool spirit mxbs, orginally made and issued for the austrian army if I'm not wrong, in these, scissors do not replace the serrated blade, instead they replace the wood saw and the serrated blade is curved with a non-cutting end and have a one hand opening to, it's designed to cut seatbelt and victims's clothes.
@@The_commonman no problem, I just saw that a forgot the letter S alone, that's the basic swisstool, the four exterior tools are a blade, a serrated blade, a file and a woodsaw, the BS with nothing else is the same in black. Greeting from Switzerland.
Do the pliers on the Spirit have play? I ordered it for myself, a new one arrived covered in oil, but the pliers play so well in the area of the axle, is this how it should be or not?
Mine is rock solid, virtually no play. If you have noticeable play, I’d consider sending it back. And mine came covered in oil as well, just wiped it down and it’s good to go
I just received mine and also have a lot of play in the pliers, to the point where I can see the gap open and close in the pivot...did you send it back?
The only time I don’t carry a folder is if I’m using my Arc because of the blade steel. My P2 Leatherman I modded and removed the blade so it is a blade less tool I carry to work with a dedicated folder.

Thanks for expanding on this, I didn’t know these exact details, and I’m glad I’m a little more educated on it now. Thanks for watching!
