Here are a few shots including the SwissChamp XAVT, SwissChamp XLT, a pair of 34s, and a 29. I did not have the 41 when I took these photos.

Here is a SwissChamp XAVT. I know it is not a Cybertool, but it does have its functions. and the SwissChamp XXLT as well. May as well add the SwissChamp XL.

Cybertool 34, Cybertool 50 and Cybertool 80
can you explain (or provide pictures) of the CT50 and CT80?
Post by: kkokkolis on March 11, 2014, 10:57:41 PM
Cybertool 80 is a name I gave to Swisschamp XAVT accordingly to the CT nomenclature. It has the Cybertool driver (two in fact) and 80 functions. (http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/03/12/usyjynas.jpg)
Post by: detron on March 11, 2014, 11:01:21 PM
Swisschamp XLT was also called Cybertool 50.

I've got a CT29, a Technologist(Cyber-Yeoman), and a CyberExplorer (CT34 with the Pliers swapped for Mag Glass/Phillips).
I'd love to get another CyberExplorer made in Alox, but I'd miss the scale tools too much. The Pen is especially useful.
Post by: sawman on March 12, 2014, 01:40:38 AM
I've also got a CT41 Sawman, it is my tool for around the house as it is just so useful for light use. Is there anything you'd change about it? Personally I don't get much use out of the second blade and the...um...(whispers)...the hook. But the bit driver is super useful and was worth getting for that alone.I can't think of anything I would change. I even like the small blade :)
Post by: Styerman on March 12, 2014, 03:24:04 AM
I think the Cybertool 41 is the most practical of the the enhanced Swisschamp lineage , The XLT , and XVAT are just too big .

I dont. I have only one Explorer and that is my EDC so I really dont want to sacrifice it.
I can look on Ebay for a used one though if no one has any spare parts but not sure if I should go with the older one or newer one (mag glass and philips) :)

For your Technologist(Cyber-Yeoman), contact SwissBianco Canada. That's where I got mine from, and I've heard from this board that Alexi, who runs the Canadian site, is a lot better to deal with.
Depending on where you are in the States, shipping shouldn't be too much.

There Cyber-Yeoman doesnt include the pliers, if I remember right and that is why I wanted a CT34 with the added layer. It should also be cheaper! :)
@Detron - I agree, I would like the old mag glass and old philips! :D

Wasn't really digging it's original light sapphire scales, so it went scaleless for months. Found a good deal on a NIP STClimber. Did a scale swap and now very happy with it's appearance.
Looks so much nicer with the Silver Techs IMO... Need to put the sapphire scales on something.

It was just the 'Cybertool' when I bought it, there was only one at that time. Since then they have renamed it the 'Cybertool 34' with the addition of the newer models (Cybertool 29, Cybertool 43 and Cybertool Lite).
I had read an article in ZDNet (I think) about the new Swiss Army Knife for computer techs, I was a computer tech at the time and thought that it sounded great. I went to the local Victorinox dealer and they hadn't heard of it, but said they would check with the Victorinox rep. Later they rang and said it was available and did I want them to order me one, I said yes.
I had a nice new Ruby Cybertool (like the one in my avatar) within a few months of it being introduced by Victorinox.
I still think that it is a great SAK.

Thanks for the leads. I checked, and unfortunately none of those companies make a drum key at all. It's kind of a specialized tool which I've never seen a non-music producing company make, so I'm not surprised. I'm looking onto having Bob Lessard just replace a corkscrew with a key I have made - as soon as I find someone that can make one first.
Thanks for the help gentlemen.

I think I might have concerns about the torque needed for those drum keys, as a back tool. I suppose if it's not a marching snare or something, that you should be ok, just something to think about. Good luck, and welcome to MTO!

This would be mainly for my bass drum pedal and occasional snare and tom adjustments. I have a hi-torque key for marching applications.

OK..... I gotta ask..... Is everyone that owns a Cyber Tool an IT worker of some type, and/or a computer geek? Clearly this is a great tool for that trade, but I think it's a great SAK in general and could be very handy in other trades or (God forbid) just around the homestead....

Nope. Use it for various stuff/projects around the farm. Used it last on a desk fan that needed oiling and a coffeemaker that shorted out. A cool SAK!
Added: Just realized I tightened a clip on a Schrade folding knife with it last night. :facepalm:

So your question got me thinking. I looked at one of my drum keys, and despite most people calling them 1/4 square drive, they're actually a little smaller (mine measure 7/32 or 5.5mm). Here's a quick, cheap, ok-but-not-great solution:
(http://sakinfo.com/bbsimg/IMG_1169.JPG)
This is just a 4mm, 1/4" drive socket on the end of the 4mm hex bit from the CT34 upside down. Epoxy the two together to make it easier to deal with. So you use the part of the socket that normally goes on the ratchet to drive the drum key. Since it's slightly oversized, there is a chance it'll slip if you torque too hard. This might actually be a good thing - I'd rather the wrench slip than tear the knife up.

Its hard to say. Everyone's personal preference on what they can carry in pocket comfortably is different. I can carry a 34 with keys and lighter and a folder clipped to my pocket without a problem. Others might drop a 34 in their pocket by itself and think it is uncomfortable or to thick.

Pondering if it would be best to just remove the layer or remove the layer and add a File and Saw.
CT-41 or CT-34? That is the question.

So I am pretty sure I do not like the light on my CT-Lite.I avoid the "Lite" versions like the plague. CT41 is the easy answer for me as for nearly the same size as a champ you get everything kitchen sink included. I vote for adding the saw and file or at least a file :tu:

Got a smoking deal on the Lite so figured it would be a chance to find out once and for all if it was worth having. The light I mean as I very much like the CT.
Just a file sounds like a pretty good idea too. So many options. :think:

I just jumped in with both feet on the Cybertool...It took a lot of looking and calling stores and outlets etc, but I found a Cybertool 41. I had hoped to find one in Transparent Sapphire, but went for Ruby Red when I finally found one and realized how hard they are to get. The guy at the Victorinox flagship store in SOHO (NYC) told me they haven't seen one in a while and encouraged me to take a CT 34 they had in blue...but I did find a Ruby Red CT 41 (albeit for a pretty high cost :-\ ). It should ship to me tomorrow and be here when I return from a long weekend in Vermont.

They're not hard to get. Just hard to get locally. ;)
I actually recommended a CT as an alternative to those seeking a multi-tool who don't find themselves using pliers (or large pliers) often. It's towards the end of this video:

A questionThe Cybertool bits are 4mm hex drive, which you can find elsewhere. But the double-ended ones with the sprung ball bearing retention are specific to Victorinox. You can order spares of the standard bits from swissknifeshop.com or, if you're really interested in the other ones that come with the big fat SAKs, (like the metric allen bits) order them from Europe for a pretty penny. (I don't have the link handy)

Hmm; I've been kicking around getting a CyberTool lately but cannot seem to get the model 'just right'. The 29 is on the smaller side; the 34 on the larger. I think a 29 with one more layer - scissors; pliers or (ideally?) the light/magnifier would be the ideal size/weight/tool combination.I had the same conundrum. I wound up reluctantly going with the 34 and getting the pliers, which I wasn't originally interested in. I felt the pliers made the knife too thick, and they weren't that useful. But what I found is that at times when I felt I might need the driver, those were also times when I needed the pliers. So go with the 34. If you really find later that you don't want the scissors or pliers, have it modded to remove what you don't want.

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. ;)
But it's going to be quite a thick tool; probably thicker than the Swisschamp. I'd hold off on future plans until you get it in-hand.

Oh yeah for sure I will hold off til I get it in my hands and play with it a bit. I have seen some like the inline philips for heavier torqueing vs the bits is why I was thinking that. I like the mag lens quite a bit but not much of a fan on their little led light. Just dont seem bright enough for me to get any use. :)

The guy at the Victorinox flagship store in SOHO (NYC) told me they haven't seen one in a while and encouraged me to take a CT 34 they had in blue...but I did find a Ruby Red CT 41 (albeit for a pretty high cost :-\ ). It should ship to me tomorrow and be here when I return from a long weekend in Vermont.Order from Amazon vendor still has not shipped after 5 days.
They didn't have the leather pouch with the metal belt clip so I am still on the hunt for one of those. I imagine my (do I dare?) Leatherman Wave or Sidekick nylon pouches would carry it well for the time being.
I emailed the seller on Amazon and they said stock was confirmed and 'should' ship today or tomorrow. Kind of disappointing but not many other sources in US for a CT-41.Sent from my Note 4

CT41 is what the Swisschamp should have been.
...unless you have a use for the fish scaler/ruler/hook disgorger
Swisschamp is a good bit more affordable and popular than the CT41 too. CT41 was overpriced, and got pulled from the US market.

Yeah, I have no use for the fish scaler and wish they would take it off the swisschamp, then it would be one layer thinner and better. I guess some here have used the fish scaler for skewing french fries off other people's plates! :)

The Swisschamp for me is rather like the Workchamp, Farmer, Minichamp, and a few other popular SAKs, and has never interested me. I have bought one for someone else and they were highly delighted with it, but for my own needs I waited till I could afford a Cybertool, and don't regret it in the slightest
Post by: sir_mike on September 04, 2015, 12:21:22 AM
Personally, I think the CT41 is worth the premium. If someone has a specific need for the fish tickler or the mag glass, then fair play to them. I still however think the CT is a superior pocket tool.

I too have had a few or more Swisschamps pass thru my fingers from time to time but just never really warmed up to them. I am not sure why but just never much did. I also have a Minichamp now on my keys but not feeling it either so it will be put up to a new home soon.
I also managed to snag a CT29 for a great price and with that one I might sacrifice an Explorer to have the mag glass and scissors modded to the CT29 if I can find some one to do that. Maybe I could do the scissor's layer, then a mag glass and lite in another layer as I also have a Spartan Lite here!
Can someone tell me what is the right belt pouch for the CT41 is? Part number? Link?
Thx.

Victorinox makes some great sheaths. Ok this has nothing to do with the cybertool tool but with it I got a brown leather sheath with a snap button and it just screams quality. I love that they invest in the accessories that come with their tools.
The cybertool has a great tool set. I do think the 5 layers is as thick as I would go. It feels large, but not overwhelming. It fits very well in the coin pocket.
As people have already stated, I wish victorinox released a bit set to compliment the tool. I don't mind the extra storage, but a full set would be nice.
Quality-wise everything functions beyond expected. Quality is the one area that Victorinox blows everyone out the water. When I get any product from them, it performs flawlessly.
Overall this is a keeper. if I had to lose the driver it would still be a great tool (deluxe climber/tinker) but the driver us what makes this tool unique. Glad to have it in my collection.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Victorinox-Leather-Pouch-Layer-Black/dp/B0001P14OK
They have several other pouch designs with the same capacity in various materials - just search for Victorinox 5-8 layer.

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 :ahhh 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 :)

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. ;)...

Post by: Little Tinker on August 23, 2016, 11:30:35 PM
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 :-\.

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...
Post by: Etherealicer on September 12, 2016, 08:19:24 AM
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.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.

I have a few questions, though:
1) I've found somewhere in the UK (where I live) that for an extra £5 can supply the Cybertool with solid red, black, racing green, blue, bright yellow, or pure white scales, in addition to the standard translucent jelly red or sapphire colours - I actually prefer my SAKs in solid colours (or Alox, but that's not an option here) - which do you think would be best to go for? Red is always a classic, but racing green also quite appeals, or even black, though may that's too boring?
See: http://www.swisstool.co.uk/st/CyberTool-29/
2) It's not essential, but how easy would it be to swap out the corkscrew (which I don't like on my SAKs) for the Phillips #2 screwdriver? Would potentially mean I could carry one of the other bits available (e.g. Small hex ir torx) instead of the #2 bit.?
3) How many standard layers thickness is the too relatively? Would it fit in a knife sheath meant for 2-4 layers, for when I want to belt carry it/for storage? Would there also be room to store 2-3 extra bits?
Thanks!

Relatively easy. You'll need to get some 2.2mm or 2.25mm diameter brass rod, and have a read of this: http://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,9808.0.html and this: http://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,44794.0.html

SAKWiki (http://www.sakwiki.com/tiki-index.php?page=Cybertool) reckons it's 21mm thick - a little more than an Explorer. No idea about if will actually fit into a 2-4 layer sheath - but it probably will.

I'd go for green as it's the one colour of scale you can't buy separately.

Hi - am thinking of joining the Cybertool club and buying a Cybertool 29 - I don't really want the extra bulk of the small pliers and scissors on the knife and don't really need these, just the bit driver.I'd highly recommend Yellow. Hard to lose sight of and mine bring a smile to my face every time I look at them.
I have a few questions, though:
1) I've found somewhere in the UK (where I live) that for an extra £5 can supply the Cybertool with solid red, black, racing green, blue, bright yellow, or pure white scales, in addition to the standard translucent jelly red or sapphire colours - I actually prefer my SAKs in solid colours (or Alox, but that's not an option here) - which do you think would be best to go for? Red is always a classic, but racing green also quite appeals, or even black, though may that's too boring?
See: http://www.swisstool.co.uk/st/CyberTool-29/
2) It's not essential, but how easy would it be to swap out the corkscrew (which I don't like on my SAKs) for the Phillips #2 screwdriver? Would potentially mean I could carry one of the other bits available (e.g. Small hex ir torx) instead of the #2 bit.?
3) How many standard layers thickness is the too relatively? Would it fit in a knife sheath meant for 2-4 layers, for when I want to belt carry it/for storage? Would there also be room to store 2-3 extra bits?
Thanks!

I'd go for green as it's the one colour of scale you can't buy separately.
You may want to check out that seller's Trustpilot reviews: https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/www.swisstool.co.uk
Okay, racing green is currently top of my list, though the white does look quite cool and solid red is still a classic look.
The Trustpilot reviews look quite worrying, though I have bough a few bits and pieces off that site before and not had problems. Most of the problems seem to be related to personalisation, though, which I have no interest in.
BTW is it just me or is the hook tool, as featured on the CT 34 and 41, one of the most useless tools ever put on a SAK?

Seriously though - it casn be very useful in certain circumstances. I found it a briiliant help while building a chicken coop - it's great for retrieving and pulling wire through holes, and for carrying plastic bags.
Also, watch 'Moonrise Kingdom' by Wes Anderson for a novel and tounge-in-cheek use of the hook.

I would advise against this, actually. The the backspring phillips is not a good substitution for the #2 bit. The bit has considerably better grip, better fitment, and better reach.
My scale color preference is black, but I like the translucent red that it comes in just fine.

So the scales should just pop on/off? Will I still be able to access the pen and pin with aftermarket scales?
:pok: :pok:
Post by: hiraethus on September 21, 2016, 03:47:25 PM
As long as you get plus scales then you can fit the pen. The pin hole has been on all recent non-plus scales I've seen lately. Though it depends what you mean by aftermarket - there are scales made by companies other than Victorinox out there.
Post by: Oxford_Guy on September 21, 2016, 04:06:06 PM
Yes, they'll just pop off. It's a bit easier and you're less likely to damage them if you warm the knife gently first.

Thanks. Do you mean to warm the whole of the knife you're taking the scales off, or just the blade of the knife you're using to pop-off the scales?

The whole knife. It softens the plastic scales a little.
Okay, thanks
Post by: T14 on September 21, 2016, 07:19:39 PM
What I'd really love is a Cyber "Solo" - just the bit driver and bit holder layer, as I have better knives I'd rather carry for knife duties - how feasible would that be to Mod? Realistically, for now at least, I'll probably just get the CT 29
It would be dreamy except I cant see how the bit driver layer can accomodate a corkscrew/phillips and this would leave an unsightly gap in the rear scale. :think:
Post by: Oxford_Guy on September 21, 2016, 08:25:11 PM
It just says "The driver is designed for use in the fully open or fully extended position, as well as in the 90deg position where it forms a right-angle with the knife handle.", but I don't know whether that means there is a proper half stop at 90 degrees

Post by: Oxford_Guy on September 21, 2016, 10:09:48 PM
Yes, it has a half-stop.
Great, thanks, good to know

Where did you get those scales from, they look different from the "pure white" scales I found here: http://www.swisstool.co.uk/st/CyberTool-29/

They were a gift from a member in the US - but as far as I can tell they're totally standard white plus scales with the same cross as all my other SAKs.

i.e.
Torx 6
Torx 8
Hex 1,2 mm
Hex 1,5 mm
Hex 2 mm
Hex 2,5 mm
Nowhere seems to have these ones, though:
Bit Slotted 3x1
Bit Slotted 4x1
There's a couple of places in Europe that sell at least some of these bits:
http://www.pizzini.at/shop/cybertool/p-356.html (have all but the slotted 3mm/4mm, which seem impossible to get)
They also do 91mm Plus scales (and others) for 3 € each: http://www.pizzini.at/shop/victorinox-replacement-scales/p-385.html
http://mymesser.de/epages/b0f75a5e-95dd-4ff4-b13b-9297fc27413d.sf/en_GB/?ViewObjectPath=%2FShops%2Fb0f75a5e-95dd-4ff4-b13b-9297fc27413d%2FProducts%2FA.7680.34&ViewAction=ViewAccessory (they don't seem to have the Hex 2 mm/Hex 2,5 mm, though, nor the slotted ones above)
The problem is, though, that both places charge about 15 € minimum postage...
Would anyone here that's fancy a group buy for bits and/or scales? I'd be happy to organise and we can split the postage costs and would charge cost for any forwarding-on postage, though may not be worth it for those outside of Europe.

BTW I'd like to pick up some of the other bit sizes that don't come with the Cybertool, i.e. those from the Swisschamp XLT.

I'd be game for xlt exclusive bits and some plus scales :cheers:

Great, do you want to PM me exactly which bits and scales you want? I'll contact you again to confirm before actually ordering. I'm also happy to order other small spares for people (pens, scissors springs etc.) from Pizzini, but will draw the line at anything much heavier or bulkier, as that could make onward postage costs uneconomic.
Anyone else? Ideally would like to place this order before the end of next week, maybe sooner if there are enough interested parties

Good choice. Make sure you post some pics. :tu:
Of course! :-)
So is anyone else interested in the little group buy for the 4mm Victorinox bits that you can usually only get with the SwissChamp XLT that I mentioned yesterday? There's not many places that sell these bits:
- Torx 6/Torx 8 (yes I know the Cybertool already has Torx 8, but it doesn't have the useful little Torx 6)
- Hex 2 mm/Hex 2.5 mm
- Hex 1.2 mm/Hex 1.5 mm
They also have various scales and other small Victorinox accessories at a good price, it's just the shipping that's high, but that could be spread...
I've only had one taker so far

Yes, I am. I need a replacement bit for a CT41, and I'd like a couple of T6/T8s. Probably other stuff too - will check on pizzini and let you know.
Okay, PM me what you're interested in - nothing too big please, only bits, scales and small accessories. I'll confirm costs before making any order.

The 3+4 bit has suffix code 13 I think. Available online last time I looked, but not listed in the Victorinox catalogue as a spate part.
Don't forget the Beretta bits as well...
I haven't been able to find either the slotted 3mm/4mm bit anywhere, but anyone does, please let me know! Not so bothered about the Beretta bits, I'm unlikley to need to field strip a pistol in the UK, though a 3mm hex bit would be nice...
According to SAKwiki (http://www.sakwiki.com/tiki-browse_image.php?imageId=1953), these are the bits that came with the Beretta Cybertool:
"The double-ended bits supplied were (1) Hex 2mm / 3mm, (2) Slotted 3mm x 1mm / 4mm x 1mm, (3) Hex 4mm / Torx T8, (4) Slotted 4.5mm x 0.4mm / 4.5mm x 0.7mm".

Thanks, am looking into these, though some don't actually have all the Swisschamp bits actually available to buy and some (e.g.Chiara) are charging 20 € for delivery to the UK for just 4 bits. Also a bit tricky to figure out how these sites work as they don't have English localisations, though Google translate helps a little...

Thanks, it's a little bit bigger than I was expecting, though just about small enough for pocket carry, though I might need to use a P7 clip (https://www.tecaccessories.com/P-7-Suspension-Clip) or else perhaps get a Skinth P1 (http://skinthsolutions.com/product/parallel-pocket-panel-1/), which would mean I could carry my DQG Tiny AAA Ti (http://www.cnqualitygoods.com/goods.php?id=1673) torch next to it, and the P1 should stop the knife falling sideways into the bottom of my pocket.

Is it correct that the best tools to remove the kidney are Compact for easy slicing, with Huntsman Lite to provide illumination, saw for the tough bits, etc?That would be correct in theory... provided no specialized tools are available... And don't forget the hook... need tools to hold incissions wide open and pull out the kidney...
And can you use the awl to put stiches in?
Maybe Mags can confirm this... :pok:

I can indeed confirm this. It's one of the few times where the in-line awl is no good. It's also why I fitted Pikachu with a back spring awl as well. Pikachu is my 'go to' knife for organ removal, but it wasn't cheap.Is it correct that the best tools to remove the kidney are Compact for easy slicing, with Huntsman Lite to provide illumination, saw for the tough bits, etc?That would be correct in theory... provided no specialized tools are available... And don't forget the hook... need tools to hold incissions wide open and pull out the kidney...
And can you use the awl to put stiches in?
Maybe Mags can confirm this... :pok:

Or there's this funky red one with a popper rather than velco, but apparently the back of the popper rivet inside the pouch scratches the knife, which is a bit of a fail:

Thinking I might actually get a belt pouch for my Cybertool 29, would the standard leather 2-4 layer leather Victorinox pouches be a good fit, not too loose, not too tight? Can't decide on the black or the brown (or even the red...), though am quite attracted to the "distressed" look of the brown pouch:
Or maybe this version of the balck pouch, that has side pockets, as could put the extra 3 or 4 bits (from the Swisschamp XLT model) in a zip lock bag in one pocket, and maybe a small AAA torch (US: flashlight) in the other? It looks like that pouch is a little larger, though, with a bigger flap, and it's almost double the price of the standard black pouch...

Couldn't think quite where I'd left my normal small screwdriver set today when I needed to open up a laptop to tinker with the insides. CyberTool Lite to the rescue :D. Not the easiest thing to spin to unscrew them, but definitely a win overall. It has reinforced my view that I'd rather the CT was in a slimmer overall configuration, so will be working on that as time permits ;).
And I finally slimmed it down to make the Cyber Climber (https://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,5287.msg1447184.html#msg1447184) :D.

I've bought a Sapphire scaled CT29 on sale just for the heck of it.
When I had to send in my Handyman for warranty I carried the CT29 for a short while.
I missed my Handyman so much I didn't send it in but that's another story.
I messed up the tweezers when I bent them to make a tension wrench i norder to pick my doorlock. We managed to lock outselves out.
In the end the rusty hairpin I found wasn't sturdy enough to pick the lock. I disassembled the window (which was cracked open) with the CT29.
Also the small hex bits work wonders on the machines at work. Saves me a call to IT every now and then.
However, I missed the pliers and scissors in my Handyman. So I tracked down a second hand CT34. Apart from the butchered scales it's in good condition. I still need to get new scales, but I'm low on funds right now :-[.
In retrospect getting a CT34 was kind a stupid. I carry Handyman anyway, so I always have scissors and pliers at hand. I already missed the chisel on the CT34 once. So now the CT34 rides in my backpack, I use the bits regularly.
I'll post picks later. ;)

The pliers use 1 wide backspring too so it's not like it's impossible to make it wider?
Post by: Little Tinker on March 29, 2017, 09:31:42 PM
Anybody know why the Cyber layer uses 2 backsprings instead of 1?
The pliers use 1 wide backspring too so it's not like it's impossible to make it wider?
I assumed it was so they could machine them from plate / bar that is already used for other springs, or because the machines have a cutting depth to suit that (shallower) stock.

I can sympathize with the 20/20 hindsight regret. I set out to get a new in box CT-34 and a used excellent CT-34. The new CT-34 that I purchased did not have a box and the used in excellent condition CT-34 had a company logo. I was initially so glad to have a CT-34 that I jumped on a great deal for another used in excellent condition CT-34 with a Leica logo. Now, I wish that I had only picked up a single CT-34. All three CT-34s have ruby scales. I purchased sapphire scales to replace one of the logo scales and I will probably sell the other logo scale CT-34. If I had it to do over again, I would get a CT-29, CT-34 & CT-41 and skip the CT Lite and multiple copies.
Well, we live and learn.

...Well, we live and learn.
Exactly, live and learn.
I also jumped at what I thought was a nice offer. I actually got a couple of SAKs back then. But the Traveller I got didn't have the right backscales unfortunately. I still have to contact Victorinox about this, I really want the propers cales in place, but I can't get them anywhere.
And as mentioned, the scales of CT34 need replacing.
Both knives were very dirty and needed a very good scrub to get them in perfect working order. Luckily, all tools are in pristine condition.
Moral of the story is to think twice before you jump on an offer. We can only spend our money once!

Well, one day I listed a Juice CS4 for trade on the forum and one of our members showed interest. We decided to do a trade and when we exchanged addresses we found we lived in the same city. Obviously we just decided to meet up locally the next day. We decided to meet about 5 minutes away from my house. As I was getting ready to leave I noticed the neighbor across the street leaving his house as well. We both headed in the same direction and made our way down to the meeting spot. Funny thing is it turns out my neighbor across the street from me was the person I was meeting. We made the trade, had a laugh, and became friends. We used to show each other new tools, lights, whatever. He is the reason I got into Zebralights. We both ended up moving and he does not check the forums much anymore, but every time I use that CT34 I think about that day. :tu:
Funny thing is I am meeting another member today that lives one city over. We have met for a deal before though.

Phillips (Pozidrive) 0 / 1
Slotted 4 mm / Phillips 2
Hex 4 mm / Torx #8
Torx #10 / #15
I am curious about the Pozidrive Phillips 0 / 1 bit. Does that work on regular Phillips 0 and 1 screws just as well as a normal Phillips driver would? I rarely encounter Pozidrive screws (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_screw_drives#Pozidriv) (had to look them up to even see what they were), so would Pozidrive drivers on a Cybertool be less useful to me because of that? Are there any advantages to having Pozidrive drivers over normal ones?

And Victorinox doesn't make an inline pozidrive driver of the same type as the inline philips driver. :facepalm:
So I had to cut a slot in a 1/4 pozidrive bit to make it fit on the bottle opener, so that my SAK can actually deal with the most common cross screw around here. :ahhh

I am curious about the Pozidrive Phillips 0 / 1 bit. Does that work on regular Phillips 0 and 1 screws just as well as a normal Phillips driver would?
Left to right: Phillips 0, Vic Cybertool 0, Pozi 0. The Cybertool bits are Phillips not pozi. But like all Phillips drivers, with care they will generally work OK on a pozi screw. Better than the other way around - using a pozi driver on a Phillips screw is usually a disaster.

This is good too hear with my cybertool in the mail. Any idea why the wiki says the bit is posidrive? Perhaps it comes both ways depending on manufacture date and/or market?Question for the Cybertool owners in here. According to the SAKWiki the Cybertool comes with the following drivers:Phillips (Pozidrive) 0 / 1
Slotted 4 mm / Phillips 2
Hex 4 mm / Torx #8
Torx #10 / #15

Yes something like that I expect. Wherever it's gone, I don't think I'll be seeing it again, until about 5 seconds after I order a replacement probably.

They only come as Phillips' bits. The reference to Pozidriv is probably due to error or confusion.

If you are picking two screwdrivers to own around here, you only need a flat head and a #2 pozidriv. :think:

All - I hate to resurrect a thread that has not had any recent replies but I want to confirm some items stated. Everywhere I look the bits for cybertool are listed as Phillips (pozidrive). See below from the Cybertool 34 product page
https://www.victorinox.com/us/en/Products/Swiss-Army-Knives/Medium-Pocket-Knives/CyberTool-M/p/1.7725.T
bit Phillips 2
bit Phillips 0 (Pozidrive)
bit Phillips 1 (Pozidrive)
I am interested in pulling the trigger on a 34 but am concerned about using the pozidrive bits in phillips screws (most common screw that I come across). If they are indeed mis-labeled I will immediately purchase one. Or if anyone can put my fears to rest that the 0 and 1 bits work fine in phillips screws I would appreciate it.

PZ and PH bits shouldn't be used on the other type of screw.
It'll damage the screw and possibly the bit too.
Some retailers have all bits in stock. Any retailer should be able to order one for you. It should be around €4 - $5 a piece.

Can you recommend a retailer that would have the phillips 0 and 1 bit?

To add to the confusion, some images of the tool itself have pictures of regular phillips in the bit holder, but are labeled as pozi.

Thanks for the reply! Ok. I guess the really confusing thing is that in some images of the bits by themselves they LOOK like phillips but are labeled pozi. And sometimes they are clearly pozi bits, but only labeled as phillips. Im in the US market and I have been searching online for a place to buy the bits. But the picture/labeling is scaring me off.Ah...

I know we've been talking about this in the other thread, I was wrong about them being Pozidrive bits. All the bits I've ever had in a Cybertools look like the Philips and I've only acquired them within the past few years. It appears that Victorinox has switched to a Philips bit and simply kept the PH/PZ label as there might be more PH->PZ compatibility. Perhaps a lot of this confusion stems from the fact that Victorinox cross drivers tend to be made to fit a variety of recessed fasteners.
A lightbulb lit up in my head about this topic after reading this post. The FUNNY thing about the two Amazon links you posted is I've already purchased BOTH items and BOTH showed up looking like Philips. I bought them for the exact same reasons you did: I wanted a dedicated Philips driver and not the pozidrive.
A lot of my personal confusion stems from the fact that Pozidrive is not very common in the US so I'm not entirely familiar with them and I couldn't connect the differences together. Digging a bit deeper, I checked some regular 1/4" bits I have in my tool kit and the Cybertool bit sure looks like a Philips with only very minuscule differences. It's always seemed to work in Philips screws and the times it didn't could be because the screws were not Philips or they are were out of spec (a common issue with electronics today). It doesn't help that Victorinox is muddying the waters by having both drivers listed.
Now here's the linchpin to tie it all together. When I replied to you I forgot I got something else from Victorinox since the last time I ordered those Cybertool bits: A Swisstool Spirit with a full tool kit and inside is a Philips #0 bit. What does it resemble? The Cybertool tool #0/#1 bit. This photo is taken with the included bit from a brand new "back-up" Cybertool I purchased last year, it also matches the bit from the one I currently use. I also have a Cybertool 41 from Japan and it has the same bit as well. AND it matches all the replacement bits I own.
Gable, time to order up that Cybertool! ;)

Congratulations on the new CT34! It's a big jump in features versus the Deluxe Tinker. Just the eyeglasses screwdriver and plus scales alone is worth the upgrade, but it's tough to go back to the standard Vic Philips once you have those fantastic bits. It's a phenomenal urban carry!

CyberTool 34 / M has been my work EDC for a while -- great for electronics and lab work. :cheers:
Very handy to have in the lab as the lab tools are always missing or misplaced. At first I got some interesting looks about using an SAK, but they've all seen the light when they spend 15 minutes trying to find some pliers to loosen a nut. :pok:

Some people just need a push in the right direction :pok: :D
I really like the small pliers a.k.a super tweezers. I mostly use pliers for delicate tasks anyway, and these excel at those tasks. Experience also shows that If I need larger pliers, MT pliers won’t do most of the time. Either they don’t open wide enough, or I can’t get a good grip with them. Might as well grab dedicated pliers.

Was off work Monday in a modding mood and came up with a “CyberSwissChamp Lite AVT.” Curious about what you guys think. Sacrificed a beat up CT41, used Traveller Lite, & new SwissChamp. Size complete is the same as a Swisschamp XLT. Turned leftovers into a Craftsman with addition of backside Phillips I had from previous projects.
:o
Pretty versatile tool there. Nice bonus to have a spare Craftsman :cheers:
I need to source some T-Phillips (and brass rods?) to convert a couple over.

Pretty cool, although personally I don't think a CT requires a backside Philips. Would have gone for a corkscrew instead.
Did you glue the electronic scales on or could you re-use them without resorting to adhesives? Did you include the Traveller's punctured liner in your Mod? I suppose the hole in the liner is for the altimeter to work properly. I am not carrying my electronic scale SAK's often enough to get them gunky, but whenever I have one in my pocket I wonder /worry if pocket lint will eventually clog the hole in the liner and negative effects on the altimeter. Any experiences in that regard?

No need, I like it the way it is. Doesn't bother me that the screwdriver is not centered. It makes it easier to use in some areas. You can't turn the SAK completely, but it still allows you to turn the screws by turning the SAK halfway, and then resetting it. Not doable if the screwdriver is centered.
Post by: SirVicaLot on January 10, 2021, 11:03:30 PM
They of course don't have the retention ball, so I think I will need a small magnet to fit into the bit holder. Any recommendations? :popcorn:

A piece of shrink tube over the bit holder supplies enough retention to prevent the non-Vic bits from falling out. It also doesn’t hinder the use of the original bits in the slightest.

Always been a fan of the gray scales of the voyager, but not happy with climber tool set so this is my answer. Curious what you guys think.It's a Cocybo!

Judging from the photo, I like brown and dark green best. I am sure translucent black would look great on a CT - imo black scales work best on them on account of the black elements in the Cybertool layer.

I'm partial to the first issue colors, there was a lot of variation in color, from run to run.

Further moddings:
- lanyard from a Hunter Pro Alox
- orange tweezers with mm scale from a Garant knife
- Neodym magnet stored in the can opener, as proposed by Felix Immler (https://youtu.be/watch?v=puEROm0Hwew)
- magnifying glass stored beneath the bit holder, as proposed by McStitchy (https://forum.multitool.org/index.php?topic=75987.0)
So I've managed to integrate my two most-wanted tools from the SwissChamp and the CyberTool Lite into my CyberTool 41: the magnifying glass and the mm/cm scale.

Are Cybertool replacement bits always as difficult to find as they are right now, or is the scarcity of replacement bits just a recent development due to supply line issues during the pandemic?I got a bunch of extras from Victorinox, via their UK distributor. This was mid-late pandemic too...
Might just be the US?

Compared to my older Huntsman I notice that I have used the tweezers a lot less and substituted the pliers for them many times, their width are about equal too.
The toolset fits well with most indoor and urban use which is most of the time for me, especially since torx screws are getting very common here even in homes. For other activities I still have my Huntsman.
Some uses I remember are fixing a lamp, tightening door handle screws (torx!) and taking out a screw on a belt to remove its tag.
After three months and innumerable small tasks solved, I can say I'm very satisfied with this tool. :D
Here's a couple of pictures:

On the 41 there seems to be a closed section on the scales. Anyone open that up and store something there?
Here's an example: https://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,59897.msg2427660.html#msg2427660
