This one I"m in on.

In spite of his aversion to guns, I have loved MacGyver since childhood and we still watch from time to time.

Oh another fun one! This is so far out I will just say I’m in but hopefully I can remember.

Another level of fun would be to use as many models as he uses in the show.

   It does sound like fun.  Too far off for me to make a plan.  Seems like someone made a list of the SAKs used in the original series?  Might have been ReamerPunch, I don't remember.  Might need a link, if someone can find it.  Best wishes.  G

Edit.  Found it.  https://forum.multitool.org/index.php?topic=79050.msg1781997#msg1781997

I’m in for this one, especially since I really only need to add a paperclip because a SAK and a little duck tape is almost always on me.

Looks like I will be up for this.  I watched an old episode from the original series the other day.  I tried to watch one of the new series, but that didn't go as well.  At least I won't have to buy anything to play.  SAK?  Check.  Duct tape?  Of course.  Paper clip?  Duh.  Best wishes.  G

I loved the original when it first aired and have rewatched some.
The few early episodes of the new one I watched weren’t too bad but then I saw some of the later and didn’t like those at all.

I'll jump in on this one! I've got a SAK and Gorilla tape (does that count?) on me every day. Just need to add an easily accessible paperclip.

   I heard a rumor that Mac used Gorilla tape on the new series.  Might be true.  Probably.  That was what I heard from a reliable source.  Sounded legit to me.  Okay, I started the rumor.

I’ve been going through the MacGyver list of SAKs and it looks like a Tinker or Tinker Small was used quite a lot.  I’m thinking about trying to complete this challenge using a variety of SAKs but maybe focusing on the Tinker.  This was what I always thought of as a MacGyver SAK before I ever knew the model and ever paid attention to the numerous different SAKs he used. 

ReamerPunch has the definitive list here if anyone is looking for it: https://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,79052.0.html

The link you provided was for the new MacGyver, so I thought I would include the link to the original MacGyver series as well.
https://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,79050.msg1781997.html#msg1781997

With the newer series, it seems the Deluxe Tinker and a Delemont were very popular.  The Climber seems to appear in several of both series.

Thanks!  :cheers:

I wish I would’ve picked up a couple of tinker smalls before they were discontinued.  That’s the true MacGyver SAK.
