There is NO nail file and NO tooth pick, despite the description saying there is.
It should've had some kind of can & bottle opener, and a fire steel flint or something like that.
It's an ok little wallet tool, it does fit in my decidedly overstuffed wallet (I also have a credit-card sized calculator that's just as thick as this tool card, and a lot of plastic cards and other things in there) but it's somewhat disappointing, and could have been better designed for this price.
I only give it 3 stars for being too expensive and too few features.
- It can be carried in the wallet (same size as four credit cards stacked together)
- It has detachable tools (especially the blade and scissors)
- It offers several additional functions (such as LED light and magnifier)
The most commonly criticism on this Swisscard tool kit is that: it does not contain a 'real' knife. In fact, Victrinox calls the detectable blade a 'letter opener' instead of a 'knife'. However, I have no problems with the blade, because it is actually longer than that of my Swiss Army Classic pocket knife. See my uploaded picture in the 'Customer Images' section, for a side-by-side comparison between the Swisscard and the Classic Pocket Knife.
The detachable blade is an important feature when I'm traveling. Previously I must remember to remove my pocket knife and make sure it is NOT packed with my carry-on, otherwise it will be confiscated by airport security. With this Swisscard tool kit, I just keep the blade at home and carry the rest of the tools with me. By the way, I just tested this during my most recent trip. Apparently the airport security only has problems with blades, but scissors are acceptable.
Note that there are two very similar-looking 'Swisscard Lite' available. This one contains a White LED, while the other one ( Victorinox Swisscard Lite ) contains a Red LED. The white one is more suitable for general illumination. Just beware that the light is very wimpy. Still, it is handy in case of emergency.
All things considered, this Swisscard Lite is a great item to keep in anyone's briefcase, wallet or purse. I'll be getting more of these as gender-neutral gifts for the coming holiday session.

As others have mentioned, the "classic" Swisscard with the scissors had a very thin plastic swivel door compartment with a tendency to break/crack, leaving the handle of the scissors exposed. This swivel door also covers the small ball-point pen, and after it becomes detached, the ink eventually dries out. I also found that in all my Swisscards, the small notch that keeps the "blade" and various other tools inside, eventually wear down.
With the exception of the scissors, most of the implements in my victorinox Swisscards came loose inside the plastic case due to normal wear and tear, and subsequently lost. If these were a little cheaper, I'd consider buying another one, but for now, I'm going to try another brand "card tool" - probably SOG.
The other feature I like is the ability to remove individual components. For example, when you travel by airplane and don't want to be considered a threat to society with that scary sharp pointy object, remove the blade and keep the rest.
The one area where it could use improvement is the LED light. It's dimmer than just about any other LED light, and only suitable for close work or walking around your house in darkness. But I realize that there are size and power constraints involved, and for some situations this light is completely adequate.
