My comment:

Le X Tipper est le camion à benne le plus polyvalent...

Descriptions:
Swiss Army knife, multibladed pocketknife that evolved from knives issued to Swiss soldiers beginning in 1886. The name has become a metaphor for a compact, ingeniously designed tool with multiple uses.
Le couteau suisse est un couteau de poche multifonction constitué d'un couteau, associé à de nombreux outils. Le couteau suisse est devenu très populaire, au point que son nom est passé dans le langage commun pour exprimer l'idée de la multifonctionnalité ou du côté ingénieux et pratique d'une chose, voire d'une idée ou de quelqu'un : « C'est un véritable couteau suisse. »
