The Victorinox Swiss Tool X Plus Ratchet is reviewed as a highly functional but bulky multi-tool set. While it offers superior versatility for specific tasks like bike repair, the reviewer concludes that other options like the Leatherman ARC are more practical for general use.

With 38 tools and functions, the Victorinox Swiss Tool X Plus Ratchet is the most complete multi-tool we’ve tested. The separate ratchet and extension extend its capability beyond that of most other multi-tools, allowing it to drive hex and Torx screws and bolts, as well as any other bits the user wants to keep in the rack. This makes it useful for tasks that other multi-tools can’t take on, like modern bike repairs and opening up electronics.
