Swiss Army Swiss Champ XLT

Still crafted in the village of Ibach, Switzerland, Swiss Army knives have been known for their quality and craftsmanship since they were introduced over 100 years ago. The deluxe SwissChamp XLT is fine example of these well-crafted tools. The XLT is the ultimate in portable pocket knives with 50 tools packed on its 3-1/2-inch-long frame and encased in translucent red plastic that lets you glimpse the inner workings of the knife. The tools run the gamut from traditional hiking implements to hard-core gear for household repairs or fixing electronics, such as computers or stereos. The 50 tools include large and small knife blades; a nail file with a nail cleaner, metal file, and metal saw; a pharmaceutical spatula; scissors; a wood saw; a fish scaler with a hook disgorger and ruler; a pruning blade; an electrician's blade with a wire scraper; a case with 4 mm slotted, Phillips 2, 4 mm Hex, and Torx 8, 10, and 15 bits; a wrench with a 5 mm female Hex drive for D-SUB connectors, a 4 mm female Hex drive for the bits, and Phillips 0 and 1 bits; pliers with wire cutters and a wire crimping tool; a magnifying glass; a Phillips screwdriver; a cap lifter with a 6 mm screwdriver and wire bender; a can opener with a 3 mm screwdriver; a corkscrew; a chisel; a universal hook; a 2 mm fine screwdriver; a reamer; a punch and sewing eye; tweezers; a toothpick; a ballpoint pen; a straight pin; a mini screwdriver; and a key ring. All tools are made of first-class stainless steel and are designed to be multifunctional in numerous situations--for example, the ballpoint pen also sets DIP switches. This Swiss Army knife is covered by a full lifetime product warranty. -- Cristina Vaamonde
