I've never even held a CT34.

Probably best that I not do so....  :rofl:

It might not be that much of a temptation considering for you.  Based on your previous choices, it sounds like you really like the wood saw and file, which the CT34 doesn’t have.  Of your other mentioned SAKs, CT34 is closest to the Deluxe Tinker, just more capable driver. 

So it might not tempt you too much.

You are probably right. I do like the saw. The file seems like a nice to have tool, but isn't a priority for me.

However, I really like the Deluxe Tinker for fishing, even without saw or file. My current favorite, the Handyman, covers so many bases.....but lacks the magnifying glass. Which brings me back to the SwissChamp......  :rofl:

In many ways, for day-to-day EDC, the Explorer or a Yeoman is perfect for me. If only the Explorer had a saw......

Sounds like you need to find a discontinued Woodsman.

Do you have a picture of that Stanley one driver? I have something similar i think, basically a screwdriver with internal storage for bits.
Here you go SirVic, very useful for its size. Seems to take a surprising amount of torque but obviously not designed for something heavily rusted or too large, think it cost me A$25 and very pleased with it :cheers:

Found one at the local hardware store  :cheers:



I am afraid to say this, but I only paid 2 bucks. You guys down under really pay a hefty premium for your tools  :ahhh

That’s an amazing find SirVic :like:

Two bucks is really cheap, turns out I actually paid A$11.66  (was late when I posted last night and hadn’t checked) still overpriced for such an item - it’s good but not that good, as you say we really do pay way over the odds here …and that was from Amazon
:(

Well that is at least a bit better. Still too expensive for what it is  :oops:

I think I will like it though. It weighs next to nothing, so I can just drop it in my pocket or add to my EDC pouch  :tu:
