Leatherman vs Victorinox outside the US Recommendation Request

Post image

Hi everyone, I currently own various SAKS and I am looking for my first plier-based multitool and based on my research my question is this: Is Leatherman worth the price outside of the US vs Victorinox?

Everywhere I've read that Vic has a better quality, and LT has a better functionality

But in my country the Swisstool Spirit X ($140) is $10 USD cheaper than the Wave+($150) on Amazon, the exactly same case with the Swisstool X ($190) and the Surge ($200)

But I've read that in the US the Wave+ is around $120, the Surge $150, and my biggest shock is the Arc at only $230, $100 lower than my country, where it costs $335

So in these price ranges is Leatherman still worth it or should I buy Victorinox without a doubt?

I have had a Wave for like 20 years! Defiantly the best multitool I have ever owned! I dropped it off a roof onto a concrete sidewalk that destroyed the lock on the screwdriver and Leatherman repaired it with no hassle.
