What it had both......

SC XLT

I've almost pulled the trigger on those several times. That picture isn't helping

The bit driver's Phillips is far superior to the traditional inline Phillips already. (hardened bit and longer reach)

While I can appreciate the benefits of the bit driver, the one thing that has kept me from buying a Cybertool to replace my SAK with inline phillips is that I seem to run into a lot of recessed phillips screws. At a trade show this last March I had to put the base on a flat screen monitor, while the inline phillips worked fine, I doubt I would have been able to get the bit driver into the recess. Also the inside door handle on my car was getting loose and squeaky over bumps and once again I doubt the bit driver would have been able to get in there.

Still may have to get a Cybertool if only for the fiddle factor

This retired my CT41/34's into my collection box.

Want me one so much but they are expensive.

they complain as it,  "why do you need BOTH"      oh well, I like it just as it is,  and the hook is from a Compact,  so it has a file

You trade me your XLT and I will have all that stuff.

This is sorta my grail. Cross-compatibility between 1/4" and 4mm bit (both ways). 
Not sure how much I'm really going to be using that, the CT does cover most of my screw-driver needs. Still, love the versatility and options it offers me.

Just to clarify, the SwissTool Bit-Wrench holds a CT bit

I'm looking for a similar converter.  I wish there were a 5mm Allen wrench bit for the CT driver.

That is what I use

Received my first CT yesterday, a CT34.

I should have a "like new" CT41 showing up by the end of the week!  Got it for a great price so can't wait to see it.

I might want to have a mod done to it to add the inline philips and mag lens layer!  Then it would be complete for me anyway!

The bit driver's Phillips is far superior to the traditional inline Phillips already. (hardened bit and longer reach) So if you're going to have a mod done, add the magnifier and LED light. ...

That would be a Cybertool Lite,  wouldn't it?

Nope.

CT Lite does not have saw and file.

Just ordered myself a CT34. Looked like it would complement my Leatherman Surge (which I would certainly not fancy dropping on a motherboard etc. if I slipped up). Plus its a legal carry in the UK without needing a "valid reason."

Finally got one as a present after never pulling the trigger on a CT:

Love some CT with translucent red.

The translucent goes well with the 'cyber' - hints at modded computer hardware.

Some more pics of my modded "Cybertool 36" - CT34 with pliers removed, and metal file / back-side small screwdriver layer added.  With a CT41 for size comparison.  It's only about 2mm thinner than a CT34, and around 15-20g lighter, but I think it's a worthwhile saving and I find it more pocketable.

[Humppa]

The CT29 (IIRC) is the only one I won - until now.

Like that versatile toolset. I remember my wife ask me if this should not be my only tool/knife as she also thinks it is useful   

[SAK Guy]

Better pic of the 125th Anny Cybertool......

Got a 34. Now I want a 41. 

[windson]

Nice cybertools... but that coin is kinda stealing the show in that picture... 

[Little Tinker]

Do y'all find the supplied bits useful?  I'm very tempted by the concept but don't find myself needing such small bits often when I'm not at my workbench, where I have more traditional "jeweller's" and precision tools for the #00 type screws for modem cases, etc.  I can't recall the last time I needed hex / Allen bits under 3mm for example.

I'd expect to get limited use out of these three 'standard' bits (in descending order):

• bit Phillips 0 / bit Phillips 1 (or Pozidrive)
• bit Hex 4 mm / bit Torx 8
• bit Torx 10 / bit Torx 15

And would consider adding the following as a spare from the XAVT:

• bit Hex 2 mm / bit Hex 2,5 mm (Inbus)

Because I'd expect the standard tools to be OK for what I might use the 'removed' PH2 / 4mm flat bit for.  I can't find the XAVT 3mm / 4mm bit as a spare, which I might add instead.

What I'm hoping is that someone will point me towards a range of 4mm shank bits such as iPhone pentalobe or something else useful on the move.

Otherwise, despite the inner tug,  I might have to exclude that layer from my next SAK.  Or keep it as a pub-talk feature rather than a practical one  .

My favorite 91mm this thread makes me wish I should have pocketed mine today.

[shibafu]

The small phillips is handy if you need to change your watch battery or fix a camera or other small device.  The hex and torx, I don't think I've ever used on the cybertool.  It would be nice if there was a 0/00 phillips available as a layer tool in 91mm, like there is in 111mm.

[Little Tinker]

Well my Cybertool Lite arrived today.  It is destined for immediate destruction as a donor to other FrankenKnives, which I'm quite pleased about as it is something of a lump  .  Not sure I'd be happy if I'd bought this to carry as is  .

The main reason for getting it was to put the magnifier / lite layer (which only appears on this knife) into a Phillips back-tool knife.  Unsure what I'll do with the Cyber layer, but trying to think of something other than adding it to a Spartan base.  Cyber Compact, Cyber Climber, Cyber Mountaineer, etc are under consideration...

When you work with Mac then you will start using torx, they use T6, T8 & T10. T15 and T25 get more common in computers too. That is why I ditched the hex for more torx.

Such a wonderful thread and pictures. The Cybertool models are amongst my very favorite Victorinox 91mm models. So versatile.
