Scale tool run down.

[RedRamage]

M0rkoni thread about his Little Giant got me to thinking about this.  What Scale tools had Victorinox made?  By Scale tool I mean of course a tool that is either part of the scale or stored in the scale.

Here's what I know of... am I missing any?

Toothpick
Tweezers
Straight Pin
LED Flashlight, Red and White (58mm only)
Removable Ball Point Pen
Retractable Ball Point Pen (58mm only)
Retractable Stylus (58mm only)
Removable Stylus (91mm only)*
Laser Pointer (58mm only)
Whistle (58mm only)

*I might be wrong on this, but I'm nearly positive I saw that they made a stylus that could be swapped for the removable pen in 91mm knifes.  This was probably only an add on item, not original with any model knife.

Also a watch, thermometer, barometer, altimeter, alarm clock, stop watch, and count down timer.
I know they make a mechanical pencil as part of their SOS kit but I'm not sure if it's a scale tool.

The 58mm came with a retractable Stylus as well.

I want to force the scale LED into a 91mm scale,  even if the battery can only be replaced by removing the scale.

I have several scales I plan on playing with (advertising scales)  I just have not had the required time to devote to the task yet.

I asked earlier about the pencil fitting in the scales. Apparently it doesn't.
Bet I could make one fit though

@neilcurrie, Ahhh!
I noticed it didn't have a little plastic pull tab at the end so wasn't sure it'd fit into the scales... If you make it work let me know.

@Det, agreed. The 91mm inline LED is so underwhelming it should have been replaced long ago.

Awk!  Completely forgot about the digital electronic scales.  Of course there's the old analog watch scales too.

I did get the retractable stylus though.  That's in the original list.

Yeah, I'm kinda surprised they never made a 91mm with a LED in it.  I know it makes the scale a little thicker, but not that much.

There was already a mod for making the plastic end. Just follow these instructions:

You might have to drill the scale out to a diameter big enough to accept the pencil too.

The pencil is too big, quite a bit bigger than the 91mm scale pen.

@enki, how does it work. Is the back a push button?
How do you reload lead...

Yes, it's a push button, much like the old style mechanical pencils, lead holders, just in a smaller size. You feed the lead through the front of the pen.

BTW if you're looking for a small 0,5mm mechanical pencil, the Zebra TS3 is almost the same size.

Now back to topic.

Thank you.
