This month, we ask what is your favourite Swiss Army Knife tool and why?
The most used tool on a swiss army knife must be the beer bottle opener! I also have a Swiss Army Tools App on my phone – I like using the compass tool on it too!
Obviously the beer opener. No explanation needed…
A bottle opener in a Swiss Army nice is always nice to have handy esp. if you are having a small get-together in your house and you always struggle to locate the bottle opener.
My favourite Swiss Army Knife tool is Victorinox Swiss Army Tinker Pocket Knife, because it is the best one in this category. In addition, my best running shoes is also a Swiss Engineering Shoes.
“got Hiker…to impress colleagues as you can do a lot with it,opening electrical panels,resetting devices, shearing wire insulation, open components packages slickly, cut zip ties to name few… Also,it keeps troublemakers away if you hang it to your jeans loops. Thanks to shiny blade and saw it got… :)”
Flat head screwdriver – sometimes for screws, to pry open just about anything, but mostly it comes in handy to open taped boxes (cuts the tape with the corner without risk of cutting yourself).
Own a Hiker. Always handy as it helps in lot of work from unscrewing, component resetting, neat unboxing, wire stripping,panel door opening to name few.
My favourite swiss army knife tool are pliers, they’ve helped me out in multiple binds and never something I would have on hand without the swiss army knife.
I like to use it for camping and in the survival situations to open something and life saving situations.
Swiss Army Knife tool is go to tool in all situation when you are travelling or specially while on camping. It easy to carry tool for your day-to-day tasks during outing.
Toothpick – you just never know when you need one and its always there!
Question: What is your favorite Swiss Army knife tool and why?
My Answer: RED Swiss Army Huntsman pocket knife is my favorite because it does everything.
My favorite Swiss Army Knife tool is the EvoGrip pocket knife which is equipped with 15 functions and includes a Phillips screwdriver, serrated-edge scissors, wood saw, tweezers, and a 2.5-inch blade.
Always great articles helping to stay in market and always helpful. Thx
I like one set of Swiss Army knife tool in my car’s glove box. It has turned out to be extremely handy at many situations in my life.
The screw driver is the tool that helped me most in the past, but the bottle opener is also very handy.
Can opener. Obviously very useful to open a can!
The Phillips screwdriver, always handy to have and saves you time digging through your toolbox.
I’ve actually never owned my own but I think my favorite would end up being the bottle opener!
I’ve turned to the corkscrew too many times to count.
I never leave home without my Swiss Army Card – it has a lot of similar tools to a small Swiss Army knife, but in a nice compact form factor. It’s come in handy more times than I can count (I’ve even used it to tighten the handle on a mini fridge while on a cruise!)
I never knew they had a Swiss Army Card. Thanks for sharing!
Bottle opener would be my favourite swiss army tool. It never fails!
The glass breaker and the bottle opener for sure.
Hi Adetoyese,
Thank you for commenting. How are you using the glass breaker? Or is it mostly in the event of an emergency escape?
Wire bender and cutter are my favourite tools
I like the knife the most. Always sharp and do the work.
Toothpick because once it’s used, no one will steal it from you.
