Colored drivers.. I know with a red one, I'll be losing fewer eyeglass drivers, the SAK tool I use the most, and seem to lose the most as well.

Curious, when did the eyeglass screwdriver gain the cross? I have 3 hex and one round, and the most markings any of them have is "Pat." for the patent.

Too bad the red one is a SIM card push tool thing which is useless to me. That's why I bought several :D

The cross is new I think.

Isolation has been expensive for me. Nothing to do all day except buying SAKs (and bicycles) online :P

I always remember a post I read years ago on a watch forum, in a thread about collecting. “Besides with watches, this happens with [insert list of all sorts of things]. But the worst disease is bicycles, in my experience.”

I am also in favour of new colours. Style aside, anything easier to find when you drop it is a good time.

Just wanted to say, that you can get any color you want (as long as it is available from Rit Dye :D)

It wouldn't be the internet without people complaining.

These are great..... I'm sire I'll be getting some

Although two things:
- IMHO Vic accessories should always have been red - At least in the red handled knives - Maybe cream/grey for the other scale colours
- Wish they had gone for a dual ended mini-SD - like Leatherman and various SAK modders here

Very funny

Don't know about you guys but even though regular tools are way way more reliable - I think this often applies to many SAK/multtool tool usage scenarios
ie Often I (we?) go to great efforts to use my multitool - When sometimes it's just easier to use a regular tool    :whistle:

I can't agree on the red accessories. I feel the ivory of the toothpick and grey of everything else makes a pleasant accent/trim that works with all scale colours. The toothpick and tweezer heads being different colours makes them instantly identifiable.

TBH I'm not that taken with the new colours. I guess the coloured TPs and tweezers are to match/mix with the mini drivers, for which presumably the different colours are to aid identification. 

Agree on the double-ended mini SD wish! I wouldn't mind a factory flathead/micro-Phillips SD.

I think the grey matches metal the best. Double ended driver? Yes, please. Flat and Philips.

I think the reason we have gray tweezers today is because of aluminum and nickel silver heads used for many years. And according to the SAK Wiki, until the '60s, toothpicks were carved from ivory.

The good news is in lieu of a factory double-ended driver, it's really easy to make your own with a Leatherman glasses bit and any Victorinox corkscrew driver.
