Summary: equal to a swiss made watch
Comment: i'm not an expert on multitools, but i do collect watches. i've owned many swiss watches. this SWISS army multitool is made like a swiss watch; very well. i use it on a daily basis at the hospitals i work at, especially turning on oxygen tanks. if you're in the medical field, you know there's a specific tool for this. but, in the va medical center i work at, the tool is plastic and worn. the pliers on the swiss tool are strong and handle this job better than the regular oxygen tank keys/tools, metal or plastic. i use this swiss tool on a daily basis for various things as well. i had a leatherman in the army and it never felt as solid as this swiss tool.

Summary: Nice tool
Comment: I have had a couple of multitools over the years. My lasT was a SOG and I loved it. One day it was gone and after much searching turned up empty handed. I began searching for a replacement and did not want another SOG because I still believe that it will turn up. Everyboody has an opinion and this one is mine. The tool is great. With access to the tools with out opening is great. Locking into place not allowing one to do some wicked damage to yourself is great. And,the sharpness of the blades is great (SOG's greatest downfall is the blade that it came with is almost incapable of being truely sharp). A feature that I did not think would have much use was the pry tool. It will surprise you at how often it comes in handy (if the SOG had such a feature I would not have broken the file a long time ago). The lack of a file is the one downfall. If I were to make any changes to the design would be to replace the curved serrated blade with a file system. I have used it now for a short time, but almost daily. Anybody who carries a multitool will tell you that living with one is so much better and more usefull than going without. It has a great warranty and that pushed me over the top when picking the tool. DON'T GO WITH OUT!...

Summary: VERY Handy
Comment: I bought this knife to use in emergencies and for light everyday usage. I was looking for an emergency or survival tool that also can be used in every day life. I definitely chose the right one. I went with this over a Swiss Army Knife simply because the awesome pliers and the fact that it isn't viewed as a "weapon" so much as a tool (I carry it at work). This turned out to be a great idea because I use the pliers on almost a daily basis at work. I work in Security so I'm around emergencies a lot more than other professions so this thing comes in handy there as well. During a panic situation, if something needs to be cut or tweaked, it's right there on my belt.

It's also a great every day tool just as I wanted. I often find myself needing pliers, the knife, or reamer for tasks like opening packages or making quick repairs. I use these tools for things as simple as taking stapes out of paper to repairing the stapler itself to removing screws to gain access to an important panel promptly. This tool is great for if you don't want to wait for a maintenance guy to come and help out just because you aren't properly equip. It's also great for maintenance guys themselves.

This particular version, the RS, also comes with a seatbelt cutter which would be invaluable in a car accident situation. Whether you are rescuing someone or you are a victim, being able to break out of the seatbelt (and the car itself) could save your life. The build quality is great. I've had people use all of their might and the thing didn't break or even bend at all.

I haven't had this tool for too long but the fact that it's come up in my life so much already motivated me to write this review... And it should motivate you to buy this multitool if you are on the fence.

Comment: Swiss Army RS Swiss Ultimate Tool w/ Nylon Pouch

This all in one tool is great. I was worried as none of the pictures on the internet show the pliers, but yes it does have a nice set of pliers included. The feel is heavy and solid, all tools, except pliers lock into place and can be accessed without having to open up the tool. Great to leave in the car, on the boat, or on your belt. I like that this has a lifetime warranty and am pleased with my purchase.
