    I'm strangely attracted to the behemoth SAKs. They're too big for me to conveniently carry but just looking at them makes me happy.
    Seeing the Champ alongside the Cybertool really made me realise just how much more suitable the latter is for me. Great review 👍

      I like the big ones and have got the XLT (and a Swiss Champ) but really, the Cybertool L in this video would replace them both. It has the slimmer body of the Swiss Champ, with hex tools not found on the Swiss Champ (that are on the XLT). The XLT is 43mm and that's too much! When the Cybertool L exists at 33mm I think it's the #1 all rounder. I'd trade in both my used Swiss Champ and XLT together for a new one of these.

    Just a reminder, The bit driver of the Cybertool family seems to be some other kind of metal and it will gradually lose its luster in time but its strength and rigidity are still like something brand new. I have a Cybertool L for 8-9 years and found that bit driver turns into a much darker black color, but it still works perfectly.
    If you only buy the Cybertool for collection the color changing issue is something you definitely need to take care of. If you look for something that is going to be a mini toolbox in your house then I definitely recommend the Cybertool L over the Swiss Champ. A lot of people don't go fishing and also many don't use the magnifying glass, but people always get to use a set of drivers sooner or later.

      I use the fish scaler for quite a bit of stuff. I love that tool. I never use it for fish though. The little prongs on the top come in handy for clipping PC fan clips on and off heatsinks without removing the GPU. I think that tool would have been a better tool to include in the cybertool over the saw even though the intended purpose doesn't really fit with the theme of the knife. I can't really think of many uses for a saw while fixing electronics though.

    • @PentaMa-i4v
      @PentaMa-i4v 2 года назад

      @@frank234561 You are right, but it is Victorinox who designs these tools and gives them their unique and "official" purposes. However most of the time people improvise on how we actually use the tools, and Victorinox always does a great job as their tool quality is great.
      We can easily see why Victorinox doesn't put the fishery tool with the cyber tool bit driver because according to their own official use the fishery tool is going to touch a lot of water, which basically kills any electronics. Instead, they put the LED light and a magnifying glass to make the "Cyber tool Lite" which fits the bit driver even better.
      (Don't buy the swisschamp xlt if people are not buying them to add into the collection, even if it contains both the swisschamp and cybertool bit driver, as it is more expensive than both the swisschamp and cybertool L combined and is thicker and more difficult to use compared to either of the model)

    I love my Cybertool. My parents gave it to me twenty years ago, and I still carry it and use it daily. I totally forgot about that pin though, until you showed that! I could have used that a million times... And I lost the screwdriver long ago until I was reminded of it and ordered a new one yesterday.

    I ordered one of these yesterday and really looking forward to it.
    I won't be carrying it in my pocket, but attached to my work bag on a lanyard and stored in a pocket.
    Sadly, I recently lost my old Swiss army knife whilst travelling, which I had since the early 90s (so about 32 years old).
    Still, this new one will have more functionality, so life goes on.
    Thanks for the review!

      I'll keep the old one on a keychain and the cyber tool on my work bag as planned.

    Hey, for what it's worth, I think you make the best knife reviews on RUclips. I've picked up a leatherman for the first time after watching your video. It's the TTi to be exact. Really love it, and I prioritized the blade steel over the other minor advantages of the wave. I'll probably pick up the Cybertool M to keep in my bag after watching this too. Thanks for your good work!

  • @Sarrienne
    @Sarrienne 3 года назад +7

    As a woodworker, I also find Leatherman saws more aggressive... but sometimes that's not what you need as it can result in a rougher cut. The actual advantage Leatherman has is where they have replacable jigsaw blades, like on the Surge.
    Also, the chisel is mostly used bevel-down when cutting a housing dado or similar 'groove' in wood, for a more shallow cut and better control over how much you chisel out. This becomes more apparent when using it as a scraper and you want to avoid damaging the surface being scraped - Using it bevel-up as you describe means a deeper cut and often it will dig down into the wood far further than you might want to go... However, using it side-on with the flat horizontal to flatten/smooth something out, like lap joints or tenon cheeks, does work best bevel-up.... and in both use cases, Victorinox does have it the better way round - Bevel-down, you want the back of the bevel juuuuuuuuust a hair's breadth up off the surface, which on these knives means you have just the right amount of space to wrap your fingers round and beneath the knife!

    This is the best all-round, even if you're not working on electronics. It's the same thickness as a Swiss Champ at 33mm but it includes the hex tools that aren't on the Swiss Champ. The reason the Swiss Champ is the same thickness without the hex tools is, it has the fish scale tool (useless for most people), a large Philips (the hex tools have one anyway) and a magnifying glass. If you can do without the magnifying glass then this Cybertool L is far better than the Swiss Champ, but it's a lot most costly too.

    Its good to see them go with a standard 4mm bit size rather than something proprietary. It's not a 1/4" bit (which wouldn't fit in the tool and would be oversized for the intended purpose) but lots of companies make 4mm bits. Regards the positioning of the chisel, I agree. If they couldn't move it to the far side they could at least have put the bevel/cutting edge on the other side of the tool.

  • @c99kfm
    @c99kfm 8 месяцев назад

    I'm really thinking of getting one of these for modding, getting rid of the knife/knife/bottle opener layer, the pliers layer and the saw/"little driver" layer. Four layers should work much better for my pocket, and while I'd miss the large knife, I live with silly laws which removing that layer would help with.
    What I'm primarily after is the metal file and the bit set, and this tool is the only one with both...well, except for the 15-layer models. But I want a multitool fit for EDC, not for the glove compartment.

    You say the only tool you would miss that's on the Champ, is the in line Phillips, but why is this an issue. The Cyber has 3 different sized Phillips bits, which can be used in line, or even at 90° for more torque. Surely the Cyber L is vastly superior in this area. Also, it's reach is much better than the Champ.

    This V'nox reminds me of a specialized mult-itool I have of which you may not be aware. It's for use with quality amateur telescopes in the field. Made by Orion telescope. com, it has the same type of bit holder & driver, and I wonder whether it inspired or was inspired by the Tech Tool. It also has the same type of kniife, pliers, can opener, and bottle opener blades, although the fit & finish is not up to Victorinox standards. Instead of a 2nd knife blade it has a "blade" that has 10mm & 7/16" hex cutouts where the edge would be and a 13mm cutout between them on the spine side. There is also the T-handle Phillips you dislike. The most unique tools, however, are built into the thicker of the 2 scales. There is a small, soft-bristled brush that folds up out of the scale to be extruded from the protective cover and detached to dust the lenses of the telescope . At the other end is a red light (doesn't destroy your night vision) for note-taking, map reading, and using the tool for adjustments or repair. It comes with a belt sheath that has a pocket for a lens cloth. The 2 CR927 lithium cells are visible through the translucent, dark blue handle under a removable cover.

      I think you're right. Each layer is universally layed out in each knife. The twin knives are always to the one end, and the combo/can opener tools are to the other end. Across the whole range, the tools are always in the same configuration. That's why the Cybertool Driver is offset, as Ben shows. They had to keep the same layout, adding the Driver into the mix.
