Yeah, I've seen the Yeoman Mechanic.. but it's not exactly cheap.. Not surprisingly if it was made in such small numbers I suppose.Sounds like an easy enough job at least.Wonder why they've never made such a model.. Sure, I guess they can't make every possible combination out there, but still. There's at least two people in this thread already who have been wanting one so I'm sure there's more of us out there.
The combo tool raised the mod cost since if you want new, you gotta get a compact. Then something with pliers and mag/phillips... is there any tool smaller than a swiss champ with pliers and mag/phillips? hmmm Most other mods you can make from a swiss champ removing what layers you dont want, if only it had the combo tool.

I'd rather not have the combo tool and just use the regular opener layer instead. Sure, the combo makes the knife a bit slimmer but I'd rather have the small blade and both the regular openers since it would be a pretty hefty knife anyway.So I suppose a Champ would be a pretty good start, just remove three layers and you'd be set. I don't see myself doing it anytime soon though. Don't really have the equipment for it. Plus I'm sure I'd manage to botch it somehow. Might shoot of some money to one of you talented modders to have it done some time though I suppose.. I bet it'd be a quick job for someone who's used to modding.
Ya thats a good amount of tools in that package. you got me thinking about putting one together now too. I still EDC my cybertool 34, but to be honest I never use any driver bit except philips, and im getting really tired of the bits falling out of that crumby plastic holder, so I was thinking of making one with the same tools except trying to do the phillips opposite both opener tools like I did on the alox one. Im not sure if the same trick will work on the 91s, but Id like to try. I dont need the mag glass which is why I was thinking of trying it, and it would be just a tiny bit thinner that way.

When it is any other way they fall out. Maybe your holder is worn?
