The Tinker is one of Victorinox’s smaller and most streamlined Swiss Army knife multi-tools. It packs 12 implements, a lighter load than the similarly sized Explorer (16 tools). The Tinker is stripped to the bare essentials, including large and small plain-edge blades, a can opener/screwdriver combo, a bottle opener/screwdriver combo, tweezers, and a toothpick.
Most users agree that the assortment, while limited, is quite useful, because, at just 2.4 ounces, the Tinker is perfect for attaching to a keychain—it won’t add lots of weight and bulk, and it’ll always be handy. With that in mind, it’s a great pick for people who tend to lose multi-tools or want a simple EDC option. It has a suite of helpful tools, but nothing extra or niche. For heavy outdoor use or camping trips, you’ll likely want something with a wider variety of tools.
Like all Swiss Army Knives, the Tinker’s tools are made from polished stainless steel, and they are equipped with the classic bright red scales that make it comfortable to hold and give it an iconic look.

Others called it “durable and very useful,” and one shopper described it as “universally loved,” which seems totally accurate given the deluge of positive reviews and ratings it has received. If you want a multi-tool that’s easy to carry and keep on hand, the Tinker is it.
Amazon could bump the Tinker back up to full price at any moment, so don’t miss your chance to bring it home at a sweet 19% discount—grab yours today.
