Colourful toothpicks - The defining moment of 2021!

[Etherealicer]

Just in case it was not clear, the T&T are official products, so sooner or later they should be available everywhere (don't know about the SDs yet, but I asked)

[Reinier]

The SDs are in the press release too so yes

Zipper pulls look different, too.

Correct, same (matching) colors.

Nice pic (and message) Mr. E.

You know this really is a nice (but very simple) innovation from Victorinox - Well done lads!!

[Swede-nox]

I'm glad they are out on the market now. I wrote to Victorinox about a year ago and asked for coloured toothpicks. They didn't respond then and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who's come up with that idea.

Wouldn't go as far as calling it innovative... but it is a nice step in the right direction. I actually talked to a friend who is a Victorinox vendor recently about that when they brought the blackout tools with black toothpick/tweezer and we both agreed that they should do this... and they listened ).

Thanks Reinier for confirming the SD. I got confirmation through my channel as well. Very nice and good to know they will be available everywhere.

Yes I hesitated over that word - Development would be better    

[Reinier]

Additionally: yellow tweezers have been available for a while as well. But only on the Fieldmaster "Mexico":



Orange tipped tweezers (with ruler) have been available in the 111mm Garant knives and they were also in the Black Ice SAKs (also check out the cool lanyard):



And 58mm tweezers in dark red have been available in the 58 Limited Edition knives (possibly other colours too?). They also fit the 74mm models of course



(Bad pic, sorry)

Finally I can cure my stormtrooper Spartan PS of the beige and grey-blue T&T

Victorinox should also offer the ruler tweezers. One more possible function for every SAK with tweezers.

Received this message from Messershop today re my order for LE21 PX and coloured T&T's....interesting to note "after the big move to a new plant at Victorinox",

"Today came the first delivery from Victorinox with the new small parts in color and the Alox 2021
Unfortunately, the following items were missing from this delivery: Alox Hunter Pro Orange, cords in blue and green, toothpicks in blue (large) and the tweezers in red and black (each large).
One or more of these parts are included in your order, which now delays shipping.
We have promised that the missing parts will be delivered as soon as possible and that we will deliver them to you immediately upon receipt.
Unfortunately, after the big move to a new plant at Victorinox, everything is still not the same - but they are working on it and it will get better in the future.
Thank you for your comprehension."

Agh, that is annoying, Echotech! Victorinox have fixed their website and I ordered some more blue and green lanyards, and some large black tweezers now they are available (kept getting error 500 with those when I tried to buy them last week) to accompany an Evo 23 now they’re back in stock, so hopefully Messershop will got that stock soon. They don’t do black mini-screwdrivers, so I’ll be trying the ritmore dye trick on some when it arrives!

Thanks Rizio

Will give me something to look forward to…delivery time will probably be 6 weeks or more so don’t think I’ll be seeing anything for a while.

Good idea dying the driver, I like the idea of the coloured ones but don’t need hex or a sim tool so wish they sold them separately and with colour choice like the T&T’s

I got the same message. I think they may be referring to the new DC I mentioned here: https://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,66690.msg2188877.html#msg2188877

I reckon you’re right about that Reinier
Wow, great time lapse, that place is huge

[Rizio Il Ghiro]

  thanks for sharing that, Reinier!

A friend of mine was responsible for the interior of the warehouse. I will ask about that project next time I see him (probably in 2042, with the pandemic going on )
