Review on πŸ”§ Enhanced Victorinox Swisscard Lite Multi-functional Pocket Tool by Timothy Cole

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Well, while it lasted.

I really liked this article, really useful in many ways. Great little blade, sharp enough to cut me the first time I used it backwards (long story but mostly my fault), functional emergency handle, great scissors, regular SwissArmy tweezers, good light on a dark night and an interesting one Screwdriver. Lost the pen almost immediately, but never mind. My big concern is durability. You would think that something that fits in a wallet's credit card slot could survive the trials and tribulations of a wallet. Mine lasted 4 months. Then my fat A$$ (6ft 2in, 260) broke the plastic case and everything just fell apart after that. Because it had cracks, the two sides came loose and everything he normally hid tightly came loose. when the lightbulb slipped, I bent the pen in my pocket, the screwdriver went through the entire wash cycle before wrecking my washing machine (mechanic found it after disassembling. Subject still sore), and I lost my magnifying glass . When I finally gave up and took it out of my purse, that little $30 gem had contributed to blood loss, ruined a decent pair of $100 jeans, and got into most of my purse (who knows how much ink was in that little pen?), a $275 washing machine repair bill (got a sympathetic discount. After all, he learned a lot by spending half a day disassembling my washing machine.), not to mention high blood pressure. I have some nice pair of scissors to decorate the bathroom, a nearly new button cell battery, a damn screwdriver, a spare pair of Victronox tweezers for my vintage knife and a 2 inch letter opener. I just don't have any other place to keep them. I tried attaching it with super glue but I couldn't get the bulb to fit properly. I'll probably buy another one in a few minutes after this review is posted. What can I say, I want you to like it. Maybe I'll tape the next one up before I sit on it. (After all I have a lot of spare parts) What can go wrong? take my money
