Victorinox Men's Taschenwerkzeug Swisscard Lite Onyx Pocket Knife-Set, Black Transparent, One Size, Alloy Steel

After having this for awhile, I think its about time for me to write an adequate review for this. I will be doing a general overview of this, and then I will be going into each of the tools and how well they function. Here we go.General Overview : This is a slim compact multitool that comes in at just slightly smaller than a credit card as seen in the image (the cardstock was actually traced with the pen from this Swiss Card and then cut out using the scissors from it as well). The total thickness is that of about three credit cards. It comes with a small pen, a small pin, a pair of tweezers, a small knife, a pair of compact scissors, a four bit screwdriver, a magnifying lens, a small flashlight, a small cm ruler on the front, a small inch ruler on the back, and the battery for the flashlight comes included. This is also incredibly light weight.Tool breakdownThe Pen : The pen included is located at the top of the card, right above the knife. It comes in at almost 2.75 inches in length (measured with the ruler on the back of the card). It writes in blue ink, and is very consistent in its lines when writing. With it being very small, its very good at scratch notes or if you need a pen for a quick signature or something. I have had a few moments where it did save the day. While you will lose some penmanship with its small size (see the blue writing in the picture versus the black ink from my normal use pen), it is still a very good and welcome addition.The Pin : The pin included is located right below the pen, and is 1 inch in length (measured with the ruler on the back of the card). It is very thin, and also very sharp. While you might not think that you would need a pin in your pocket, I can assure you, when you need one, you really need one. I had one terminal on my friends vehicle that got clogged up, and without this pin, it would have taken awhile to clear it out. It has come in handy on more than one occasion. In order to pull it out you will have to use your nail, and pull back slightly before being able to grab it all the way.The Tweezers : The tweezers are located below the pin, and nestle between the blade and the scissors. They measure about 1.75 inches in length (again measured with the ruler on the back of the card). They are very springy, and while not the strongest tweezers in the world, they are more than adequate enough to remove splinters, pull hairs, remove small little tags of skin, or whatever you may need to use them for.The Magnifying Glass : The magnifying glass is located below the tweezers, and magnifies to what I believe is about 3 times magnification. This is especially useful when having to remove splinters with the aforementioned tweezers, or just using to read fine print if you have to. Its a welcome addition because when you are put into a situation where you need a magnifying glass there is literally nothing else that you can substitute.The four headed screwdriver bit : This comes with two sizes of standard and Philips heads. The smaller of the two standards can work on screws as small as eyeglass screws, and the Philips heads work well on all sorts of objects. I have a son, and when it comes to swapping batteries in his toys and controllers this works a treat and is always on me.The Flashlight : The flashlight is located directly across from the magnifying glass, with the on off switch positioned on the flat side of the card, opposite the rulers. To turn it on and off simply slide the switch towards the LED bulb for on, and back again for off. It is a stiff switch, so you have no fear of it accidentally turning on in your pocket. To replace the battery all you need to do is, in the off position, pull backwards on the switch and it will pop out for you. Then just insert your new battery and put back in and press forward. This will put it into the off position again. The light is not very bright, but if you drop something and you need to look for it under the couch, or need to walk around your house at night, or just need a wee bit more light than what you have its very nice to have a small flashlight in hand.The Scissors : The scissors are located right above the flashlight and measure almost 3 inches in length (measured with the ruler on the back). I personally use these pretty much every single day. They are fantastic at normal everyday cutting tasks, and retain their sharpness quite well. They are strong enough to clip a fingernail if you need to, and sturdy enough not to twist. Orientation does matter though when you go to put them away inside the card. The eyelet needs to be on the bottom, closest to the flashlight. It will then slide in and the other arm of the scissors will lock it in place. To pull it out you use your nail to pull back before getting ahold of it.The Knife : The knife is located above the scissors up near the top of the card. It measures in at about 1.5 inches in length (measured with the ruler on the back). It comes very sharp, sharp enough to shave some hairs on the arm. With its small compact size it is a non threatening knife, so you can use it in public without anyone batting an eye really. I use mine almost every single day and it has retained its edge very well. The blade is sturdy as well with the ability to do some small plunge cuts without the blade bending or the tip chipping. Orientation is VERY important to know on this one. It will only go into its slot with the Victorinox logo facing outward. That being said, that means that the blade edge is FACING UP when you pull it out, so keep that in mind when going to use it that you will most likely need to flip the blade before using so as you do not think the spine is facing up and then accidentally cut your finger (this did happen to me, not bad, but enough to warrant tell you). This is the ONE thing I wish they would fix, just turn the blade so the edge is towards the scissors and not facing upward.The Rulers : The rulers are located on the opposite side of the card from the light. The front face is in centimeters, and the back is in inches. It has a sloped front so that way the centimeter ruler is flush with the surface. The centimeters measure up to slightly over 7 centimeters. The inches measure 3 inches exact.Build Quality : This card is built like a tank. I have dropped it, stepped on it by accident, sat on it, and pressed on it and it never even budged. It is still straight as an arrow with no indicators of even remote or slight damage. All the tools are of the highest standard, and everything is purposeful and useful every single day. The light weight build means that it will disappear in your pocket, and the size makes it to where if you carry a wallet then this will be just another little piece in your pocket without being a burden. It could easily slip into any pouch, wallet, or pocket and be right at home.Overall I think that this is a fantastic tool, and it has become my everyday carry. When I go anywhere I may not bring all my stuff with me, but I always grab my cell phone, my wallet, and this swiss card. It helps me every single day, I am very happy with it and I assure you that you will be as well!

I purchased 4 of these for my son’s stockings. They were super excited about them. They seem to be good quality and not cheaply made. There are so many tools! It really is very tiny and the size of a credit card. It will fit easily in a wallet. I think it will be very useful. I would just say be careful you don’t forget about it and accidentally try to take it through TSA check when you fly.

Having lost my previous wallet tool card, this has been an excellent replacement. The additional magnifying has been used more than I had ever anticipated. I would recommend them as a stocking stuffer for anyone.

This is my second SwissCard; the first was the nail care variant, which I used for travel. While that one was TSA-friendly, the glass file cracked. This prompted me to reconsider and ultimately opt for a more standard SwissCard, and here we are. The SwissCard Lite retains many features of the Nailcare version but includes a real knife that can be removed for my TSA use case. On the other hand, it also comes with a light, which may seem unnecessary in today's world, but it's a handy little backup if you need it.The other benefits are typical of all SwissCards. To reiterate what you're likely reading in other reviews: you get an excellent pair of scissors in the kit, usable drivers for screws in a pinch, a magnifying glass for those of us who are older and need reading glasses, and a pressurized refill in case you misplace your pen.At the price point, it is not inexpensive. You could probably get most of the benefits from purchasing a knockoff, but I personally prefer not to support that behavior.On a daily basis, you'll find that the card is quite thin and can be more practical to carry than a standard multitool due to its size. However, I would advise against using it in your wallet unless you carry it in your front pocket. At roughly three to four cards' thickness, it occupies some space and isn't exactly compatible with the minimalist wallets that are popular these days.Another advantage over conventional multitools is that all the tools are easily accessible. There are no layers or nail nicks to deal with. So while it won’t replace your Leatherman, it could be the tool you reach for when you need it most, thanks to its design and ease of use.

Sometimes we buy things because we like the idea of the product. Like this one...but as always with a Swiss Army knife set or this handy dandy item, there is always a time that you end up using it. Last night I needed light, there it was. The light is pretty strong. Last week I needed small screwdrivers and the scissors (I always need them). In fact so far, I have used the Scissors, light, knife, pen and screw drivers. Fits perfectly into a slot in my purse.

I love this thing. It fits seamlessly in my Grip6 wallet. I've only had it for two days and have used it 4 times. Hoping to get many useful years out of it.

these are really nice to have close by when you need a small tool. One word of warning, there is a risk of losing the knife blade when going through TSA at the airport. Some will let it by but others will not and you never know which ones will confiscate it.

There is not a single productive human being that won't find this practical and useful, if you don't know what to give this will make any body happy.
