Wenger Pocket Tool Chest Genuine Swiss Army Knife

I just got this knife and I absolutely love it. I had an old one with the same blades and tools but without the light that served me for years, until the TSA took it from me several years ago. I have been wanting a replacement and picked this one because first of all it had the tweezers, and secondly because of the light. The case is a translucent ruby red that you can see right through. The components, batteries, etc., can easily be seen. Very cool looking. The light is incredibly bright, and can light up a small room enough to do whatever you need to do in the dark. It's so bright people complain when you shine it in their eyes, so I don't recommend doing that. Highly recommend buying one.

good quality considering the price. compact and portable. I liked it while having it.

Wenger is out of the knife business. Victorinox has re-branded some of Wenger's pocket knives to keep them available in its "Delémont Collection," but not this model. If you want a new Microlight Pocket Tool Chest, now is a good time to buy one.The microlight on this knife is a 3.5 mm white LED powered by two lithium watch batteries (a common size which is easy to find). The batteries are in a pull-out tray and they are easy to replace. The LED is not just a keyhole-finder: it is powerful enough for finding your footing in the dark. Victorinox's equivalent keychain knives are the Victorinox Midnite Minichamp and Victorinox Midnite Manager. These Victorinox knives have a 3.5 mm white LED powered by a single lithium watch battery. Wenger's Microlight Pocket Tool Chest is 50% brighter. It is as bright as the Victorinox Spartan Lite, a much larger knife which also uses two lithium watch batteries.I have used all of the knives mentioned above. They are all useful when you have no other light, but only the Wenger and the Spartan Lite are bright enough to to let your clearly see your footing in total darkness in an unfamiliar place.A few comments on Wenger's tools:The awl has a needle point and a sewing eye but no edge, so it is not a good reamer.The scissor blades are serrated and self-sharpening. The scissors spring is more robust than Victorinox's but it is not replaceable.The cap lifter has a non-magnetic flat headed screwdriver tip. If you need a magnetic Phillips head screwdriver, buy a Victorinox keychain knife.One reviewer noted that the nail file scratched the knife blade and "essentially ruined it." I have not had this problem. If you are worried about scratches, do not open the nail file and the knife blade at the same time.The micro screwdriver was a very tight fit, but it worked on my eyeglasses after I cleaned the gunk out of the screw slots. (The cap lifter's screwdriver tip was too big.) This tool is also on the no-blade Wenger AT 16918 Swiss Army Nail Clipper, Red which my wife carries for air travel, and one TSA officer told her "that is a lock pick." Having no locksmith skills, I cannot comment on this officer's knowledge or ignorance.

This one works well. Scissors, small knife, etc. The light can be annoying. When I press it, it does not go on. I need to press again, in a certain place, to make it finally light up.

Great size for a keychain, rare long flathead screwdriver. The light is a little too low, but I've got a 1000 lumens cree keychain LED for that. Great gift too. I already gave the first one I ordered as a gift ...Plus the seller is a great, quick and very honest man. I made a second deal with him right away and I sure am planing on making a third one.

I bought this for my husband at his request for his birthday. He's thrilled with it! It's really nice that you can change a battery for the light when needed, and he loves the quality of the brand. So do I, actually; I've carried a Swiss Army knife in my purse for close to 30 years. Women need fine cutting instruments, too! I made a beautiful leather sheath for mine, (hubby lost his) and it could pass for brand new.

This is a great pocket knife loaded with everything you need plus a led light. The red color of the case is so nice.

I've been buying Wenger pocket-knives for over twenty years and this knife is just as expected, works great. This is my first LED lighted knife. Nice button action to activate light. I recommend this knife without hesitation.
