With its compact size and ample skillset, the Victorinox Rambler is perfect for lovers of the original Swiss Army Classic who want a little extra functionality.
As a GearJunkie reader, odds are you’ve hung one of Victorinox’s multitools from your pack or keychain. When it came time to replace my own long-suffering Classic SD, I was curious to see what else the company had to offer. Enter the Rambler, a $36 upgrade with several new additions to the Classic’s bag of tricks.
Victorinox Rambler Multitool Review
In the mix-and-match world of Swiss Army Knife tooling, few versions offer better balance than the Rambler. Along with the seven mainstays of the Classic (small blade, toothpick, tweezers, nail file, flathead driver, scissors, and key ring), the Rambler manages to cram a wire-stripper, bottle-opener, and magnetic Phillips driver into a nearly identical frame.
The dimensional cost of these added features is minimal — just 0.059″ of height and a scant 0.3 oz. of weight versus the Classic. Altogether, this 1.1-oz. tool packs 11 functions into a space just 2.3″ long and 0.04″ high.
