I bought a Swisstool RS and I love it. Now, I am regretting I didn't buy the CS version which comes with bits and corkscrew. I bought it online so I can't return it.

If I buy the bits and corkscrew separtely can those tools be attached onto my RS?

Thanks,
John

I did a search and couldn't tell based on what I found.
You might want to go to a dealer and see what they say.

What's the "RS" ? We were using the Buck tool here and I changed us over to the Swiss Tool about 1 1/2 years ago and have not regretted it yet. Great tool.

I forgot exactly what the "RS" stands for...like "Rescue" or something like that. But anyhow, instead of the file and serrated blade it comes with scissors and "seatbelt cutter", which is very cool/useful btw.

For anyone out there deciding which multi tool to by, definately go for Swisstool; look into the CS version, which comes with extra bits and cork screw, you will not regret it! I also bought a leatherman wave and gerber 800. Gerber is pretty good but the file broke!! You know swisstool is pure quality when you handle it. Leatherman sucks major ass after you handled the swisstool and gerber. I returned it the next day.

Got my son a Swiss Tool for Christmas. He's 10 and is in the Scouts. He loves it. He'll be making the transfer into Boy Scouts in the spring.
