No, I don't think that it's just "name." I try a lot of brands but keep coming back to the Leathermans. I use them hard, and expect results. The Victorinox line are pretty decent, as a second choice, but never seem to "fit the bill" as well.
Could you elaborate on that? I've never heard this particular claim before.
Do you mean you miss the one-handed opening blades and/or other unique features offered by Leatherman tools?
Speaking as some one who own's both a TTi and a Swisstool:
The TTi is a better everyday choice
provided you need one handed access and the ability to clip it into a pocket. Build quality is upper end reasonable.
If you want a tool that will last forever, is
extremely corrosion resistant and you can live without one handed access to blades etc then the Swisstool is the way to go. If there is one reservation I have about the Swisstool it is the way tool are locked. It does not "feel" as solid as the TTi. Which is ironic because in terms of build quality the Swisstool is far superior to the TTi.
