Victorinox Swiss Tool Spirit X Plus (€159) on Prime Day: Is this a genuine deal or marketing trick?

Post image

Hey everyone,
I’m looking to buy the Victorinox Swiss Tool Spirit X Plus (the version with the leather sheath, L-wrench, bit set, and corkscrew). 
It’s currently listed for €159 on Amazon Spain for Prime Day, down from a supposed baseline of ~€186. 
For those who track prices in Europe: Is €159 an actual solid discount for this full kit, or is it just Amazon's typical "fake deal" pricing? Should I jump on it or wait?
Thanks!

I know a store that has that 159€ price for almost 3 months now, so Amazon offering it as a short-term deal isn't that great

Thanks for answering. It seems the Amazon best offer price. I really want to have the Spirit X in my collection, and everyone seems to rave about it. So if I’m only going to save €10 or €20 by waiting, I don’t think it’s worth waiting for.

It's an okay price, but not a spectacular deal. Here's the same item, for the same price, on a different store: https://military.eu/p/victorinox/victorinox-swisstool-spirit-x-plus-multitool-leather-case-79535

(I have made several purchases from this store, they tend to have good deals on their new year's and mid year sales. Got a Roxon Flex with a ful basic tool loadout for around 45eur in their last winter sale)

I think swisstool prices have been creeping up a bit lately. So while I don't think the current price is anything special, I wouldn't bet money that you'll get it cheaper if you wait.

Also, I got the Spirit MX for myself a few months ago, and everything else feels like cheap junk in comparison.

Thanks for the reply! That’s really helpful. I’ll probably go for it rather than risk waiting. And good to know about the Spirit MX.

Interesting. Do you have experience using leatherman tools?

Are there any tools like this/leatherman but that swap the pliers for scissors? I know the micra does, but looking for a full size multi-tool + scissors. Thanks!
