On the original show back in the day there was an episode where MacGyver used an orange peeler to strip wires or something. I ran to the store the very next day and bought an Executive.

episode 4 has hope again. at least they're not treating the viewers like idiots as i half expected them to paste 'baking soda' all over the screen at the start. but i think this time they used 3 different SAKs in 1 scene all within a min of each other.
Definitely a Deluxe Tinker used to turn cheget into a cheget-top(Image removed from quote.)Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

i'm just glad he didn't use the knife blade as a scewdriver this time
between the 2 shots of him using the 4-layer with backside philips, which has been deduced as the deluxe tinker...he also used what looked like a 2 layer with backside corkscrew, while using the can opener driver...so spartan? compact?(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)
I'm done with this awful show. I'll just rewatch the original instead.

I think they switch the knife on purpose... so you nerds can try to figure them all out
Quote from: Etherealicer on October 17, 2016, 09:07:22 AMI think they switch the knife on purpose... so you nerds can try to figure them all out A real mind blower would be using a discontinued model like a Champion, or a Woodsman, or perhaps a special collectors' build like a Swiss Bianco Yeoman-Mechanic.John
I'd bet Spartan as I've seen that used numerous times in the first four programs. A Compact has the combo opener. My thought is they're providing him with the mainstream lineup: Tinker, Super Tinker, Deluxe Tinker and Spartan. Maybe we might eventually see a wood saw used from a Huntsman or magnifier used from an Explorer (IMHO less likely than saw).John
He did use a wood saw in ep.2.
