Swiss Card Lite, Swiss Made Pocket Tool, 13 Functions, LED, Magnifier, Black Transparent, One Size, (0.7333.T3)

I got one of these years ago and use at least one of the tools probably every other day. It goes everywhere with me. I've bought as gifts for friends and family several times over the years and they've been gratefully received and well used by all.

The Swiss Card Lite is a very practical toolkit. This is my second, after my last one was taken by airport security. Most airports let it though in hand luggage with no problem. On one trip an electrical outlet in the holiday flat I was staying at became shorted and disconnected the supply to all socket outlets late in the evening. No chance to get someone to fix it at that time and I lost internet, TV etc. Using the Swiss Card Lite I could open the outlet cover, disconnect the wires (I isolated them using band aids) and reclose the cover, allowing me to reconnect the electricity supply. Very practical, small and light, can be carried anywhere. The price may be a little steep but the quality is unbeatable, making it worth it for me.

Unlike lots of good multitools or similar items, this card is so small that you can have it with you in your wallet or carry bag at all times so you never need to remember to take it. The tools are not the type you would use for regular tasks or work in the same way as a larger Leatherman for example, but are ideal for many everyday annoyances and quick fixes. This version is more of a fixit tool than the other version with the nail file etc. I especially wanted the screwdriver tool, which is great for when screws in your sunglasses or other items come loose. The tweezers are great for ticks or splinters and the steel pin is perfect for clearing or adjusting the washer jets on the car. The little torch is a useful bonus in areas like ours when you can't even see the door lock after midnight because the street lights go off. Quality and design seems up there with what you would expect from Victorinox. Overall I love this little tool and it is great value.

Great and useful little multitool.. about the size of a credit card, a bit thicker obviously.. a couple of very handy little tools.. I had seen this as a friend had one. Take care tho.. it’s very handy and easy to carry everywhere but easy to forget when travelling overseas!

My original red Swiss Card was a lesser model which came with just the blade, the toothpick, the tweezers, the pen, the pin, the nail file, the screw driver and the two rulers. Of those, the nail file and the pen were the only two I never used. This card (or rather, the blade from it) was lost on a recent work trip to Finland and so I decided to treat myself to a replacement while I was buying my new Huntsman knife. This model is a marked improvement; the nail file is replaced with the far more useful scissors and the light (a small, but functional, LED) and magnifying lens are both added. The light has already come in handy this week when I was walking my dog at night and he stepped on something sharp. The magnifying glass I have yet to use and I suspect I rarely will but the rest of the card is extremely useful and I find need for one aspect of it or another at least once a day. Also, and this is largely irrelevant but is a small bonus for me; the black colour makes it much less noticeable in my wallet.

There is a lot of debate and opinions on what everyday carry equipment to have. I was surprised to find that this Victorianox product is the one I have found to be the all-round best that I would recommend. Especially for urban carry. It is specifically the Lite version that is best though. It will slip into pretty much any wallet and I love this product.

I have been carrying this Victorinox Swiss card in my wallet for over two years and so far I’ve been impressed it’s one of those things that you buy because it looks good and you know you’re probably never going to use it but I can tell you that’s not true so far I have found the small tweezers good for removing splinters it has a pen for when you can guarantee you need one but you haven’t got one small screwdriver/tool and a nice pair of sharp scissors a small knife is good for opening packages , a small magnifying lens and ruler and the main part of the card has a small LED torch and the button is nicely placed so when it’s in the wallet I can turn it on without removing it from my wallet ideal for finding things that you dropped in the dark and one thing that has been a lifesaver is the small pin that is in the main body of the card between the pen and tweezers I have use this in an emergency when my washer jets blocked on the motorway and I was able to use this to clear the holes in the jets to get water on the screen so for me it has been a really useful tool that some people will see in a bit of a gadget you won’t use but believe me when you’ve got it you will find you will use it

Beautifully crafted piece of kit and was well received
