So I bought myself a Victorinox Tinker Deluxe SAK, after my friend told me he’s been using his SAK for the last 15 years. I’m into small tinkering work, urban partisan activity and like to be prepared.
I’m not sure if it’s gonna be a life-long purchase, but from what I’ve seen, it’s quite durable. Will need maintenance and correct usage, though.
If it is only an occasional quick tool to do something they indeed basically last forever. I think I had mine for 25 years or so now. Mostly switched to a Leatherman though as the pliers in those are often very helpful.
Pretty basic, but powerful enough. I also have skeletool + bit kit. I’m using it when I do not need bigger tools - as it’s easier to reach and do something quick.
I have it in my pocket for like 12 years. And style cs as keyfob - just because it was sold in a bundle with skeletool and price was the same or almost the same (like 2-3$ difference) as price of skeletool only when I was buying it.
Been thinking about buying something else, looking at different options for longer time, still didn’t make my choice.
This is absolutely a decision based on aesthetics over functionality, but I just got myself a Signal. (Text references the bureau of sabotage from Frank Herbert’s ConSentiency novels)
