I’ve always wanted to buy a Swiss tongs to compare to Leathermann’s pliers and see which one works better.
Before his cousin’s return home, he was asked to buy it on Amazon in the United States, the link is as follows:
In order to fear that you will not see the picture on the link, I deliberately took a screenshot as follows:
Most of the other posts you see are written about this:
I remember that when the Black Friday special price last year, Meiya and JD.com had the same model as 120 knives; If there is a special price on any day, or to get a coupon, it is still suitable to buy JD.
Although the above one is more value-for-money, but I use, in fact, there are three functions more than the price, one is pliers (this is not nonsense, don’t use pliers to buy Swiss pliers dry), the second is a knife, and the third is a wood saw; The rest of the features, I don’t care so much. So I bought such a single Swiss tongs.
Let’s start with this nylon set, which is made in Mexico.
The small black mark has fallen.
Let’s look at the opening angle of the big pliers
In fact, I feel that this photo is very watery, because I use a fruit mobile phone.
The Swiss tongs are basically the size of a size, similar to Leatherman’s tsunami, and are a favorite of big hands.
But do you think it’s big and the accessories bigger? bigger than bigger？
I specifically looked for the winner of a Swiss Army knife, which I bought in Germany in 2000. Open the pliers parts for a comparison, yo, they are the same size.
My champion is the ordinary one that is about 9cm long
I found a large single-bladed Swiss Army knife with a longer edge.
It should be more intuitive, in fact, the Swiss pliers knife is only slightly longer than the champion’s. Cutting an apple is not a problem.
I compared it to my other pliers again.
On the far left is Leathermann OHT one-handed man, with the shortest blade (in fact, its sawing part is also short, I really don’t know how it was designed), but I use this one most often – because I often use the pliers head to smash walnuts, for the fine wire It is often powerless because of the design of the pliers head, but it also gives me the most resistant feeling – the steel mouth of the pliers head is good, often used to pry, smash cans, bottle caps.
The champion of the Swiss Army Knife everyone can see, it sets a lot of functions, the pliers are very small, I see that it is limited to the clip legs, which is why Leatherman had to build a multi-purpose pliers to repair the bicycle after cycling around Europe, using it to clamp the brake line and transmission line, I want to tighten it, it’s really …
The third is Leatherman’s rebar, and I have to say that it gives me a loose and unsolid feeling – especially when using it to change the cone to pry things, although the knife is still quite fast.
SOG’s B66 pressure pliers are the most characteristic, giving force, but it does not have a wood saw … Go to the mountains without taking it;
The wood saw of the Swiss tongs is as good as the other Swiss Army knives, and soon the knife surprised me that the wood chipping did not appear to be dull after one use like ordinary Swiss Army knives, because the product name has “
army”
For the sake ?
Leatherman’s TTI knife is very easy to use, after all, it is also S30V, but the wood saw is not as good as the Swiss tongs, because its wood saw is a little thinner, and when competing with thicker wood, it is a little difficult to push and pull.
On the far right is a large Swiss Army knife, single function, nothing to compare with other pliers, except for the big one.
When comparing, I also found that the Swiss pliers have a design that does not comply with the rules of the industry – the pliers head is round…
The first on the left is TTI, the second is rebar, the third is Swiss pliers, and the fourth is B66. Other brands of multifunctional pliers, all pointed. It is more convenient to clamp up. I read the comments below Meiya, and foreigners often use it to knock and smash this and that.
Bottom picture – Swiss pliers on the left, TTI on the top right, and rebar on the bottom right. The wood saw of the Swiss tongs is still slightly longer
But, actually… It’s a length with the champion’s wood saw! If you use a wood saw often, and don’t often use a knife to do something strong, Swiss tongs is still a good choice.
Finally, the sound made when the Swiss tongs are closed, the sound of dang, is like the feeling of Dupont’s sound; Leatherman’s closing sound feels like zippo sound, and if a more refined sound and feel is needed, Swiss tongs are preferred.
At the same time, you also have to think about it, if you use a poor environment, such as a place with slightly larger wind and sand, the Swiss tongs and the Swiss Army knife, the smoothness of opening and closing will be greatly reduced, and then you start to think about old and beautiful things. Of course, the biggest disadvantage of Swiss pliers is that they cannot be used with one hand to open and close functions, such as the inability to open a knife with one hand.
