Review on πŸ”§ Enhanced Victorinox Swisscard Lite Multi-functional Pocket Tool by Michael Schafer

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A handy tool box for people who can't (or don't want to) carry a pocket knife

I've had a Victorinox Swiss Army Classic pocket knife on my bunch of keys for ten years and can attest to its quality and durability. I recently bought this pocket tool from Victorinox Swisscard Lite because: - it can be carried in a wallet (the same size as four credit cards together) - it has detachable tools (especially the blade and scissors) - it offers several additional functions ( z as LED and magnifying glass) The most common criticism of this Swisscard tool box is that no "real" knife is included. In fact, Victrinox refers to the detectable blade as a "knife" rather than a "knife." However, I have no problem with the blade as it is actually longer than my Swiss Army Classic pocket knife. See my uploaded photo in the "Customer Images" section for a comparison between the Swisscard and the classic pocket knife. The detachable blade is an important feature when I travel. First thing I have to remember is to take out my pocket knife and make sure it is NOT packed with my carry-on or it will be confiscated by airport security. With this Swisscard tool set I just keep the blade at home and carry the rest of the tools with me. By the way, I just tested this on my last trip. Apparently, airport security only has issues with blades, but scissors are acceptable. Note that there are two very similar looking "Swisscard Lite" cards. This one contains a white LED and the other (Victorinox Swisscard Lite) contains a red LED. White is more suitable for general lighting. Just remember that the light is very weak. But it comes in handy in an emergency. All in all, this Swisscard Lite is a great item for any briefcase, purse or purse. I will be getting more of these gifts as gender neutral gifts for the upcoming holiday.

Pros
  • New Mini White LED; 18,000 MCD
