Scibeer Mod SAK Pron

[Ben X]

I've posted this over at SOSAK but I just realized some of you have not seen this, so for those who have not I give you the Scibeer Abrasive Corkscrew Machanic Plus (Almost needs to be Acronymized- SACMP- doesn't quite roll of the tongue though...)



I use the pen all the time, and since I work on cars a fair but it lives up to its name. I also use the metal file a lot just tinkering around with things.

Very nice

SCAMP has a nice ring to it - Scibeer Corkscrew Abrasive Mechanic Plus?

It's a great looking SAK Ben.  I think I asked this over on SOSAK but was there a particular reason you went for the corkscrew over the Phillips?  It would just seem to fit better with the overall theme of the SAK in my mind.   Of course then you couldn't call it the SCAMP (good name Dave  ).

I like SCAMP     I think a back phillips would have been my choice as well but I'm not convinced that it does any better job than the end of the can opener

Looks good.

I wished they imported the Grand Prix still into the USA.  HOWEVER, I bought one in Korea, and my mom got a discount when the Seoul Vic store owner found he she was my mom, and she bought one for a friend back at home.

I would take the Grand Prix, and add the pliers to it.  Ideal for the mechanic.  Think Craftsman (post 1987 model) with the woodsaw removed.

I just can't have a SAK without scissors!!!!

Gareth and Neil, you are absolutely right. For some reason I thought the can opener would do the job just fine but in the first few weeks of having it I made attempts on phillips screws that gave the can opener a slightly new shape  I thought having the mini screwdriver might be handy but so far I have used it very infrequently. I also would probably benefit more from a fine screwdriver than a chisel as I have yet to use it. So, lesson learned, next time around I will do a phillips. In fact, I might use Neil's guide to swapping the phillips and corkscrew (very nice work Neil, btw  ). Once I get some brass I will probably do it

The knife is still very useful, but I might consider selling it eventually once I got a replacement as I really don't like the 90's pliers as much as the new ones. Funny story, I had a Mechanic for years and wore it out, sent it back and they gave me a new one- and it was the older 90's model! So off it went brand new to Scibeer for this mod.

That's weird    Perhaps they have a special stock for warranty work and they don't get many Mechanic's in so are still working through old stock?

Scamp get's my vote too
