  • My first experience with a Cybertool model from Victorinox has been a very good one. I can certainly see why these particular knives are useful to the tech industry. They provide a nice compliment of tools that are well suited to technicians. In particular, the 4mm driver with 8 different interchangeable bits really helps to set this line of knives apart from the standard Victorinox knife.

    Pro tip: you can use the pliers as a light duty vise. When soldering wire, put the wire in the teeth, "close" the pliers, as if you are trying to put them away back into the tool, and now the wire is viced into place. Place the tool on its spine, and now you can solder the wire without it moving around under pressure or getting lost in a bundle of wires. Can also be used for gluing things together, clamping off IV tubing, and other hands-free vicing needs.

    Victorinox is very good at keeping up with the times but I consider this one of their best design upgrades in the last 20-something years. It is definitely ready for almost anything: hunting, electronics, quickie repairs and as a tool you can carry everywhere. I have this exact model and it's the maximum size I can tolerate. The Swiss definitely took the size into consideration and didn't want their customers burdened with something that was too large and heavy. Even one extra blade or tool would be too much for me since I don't have big hands. I find the 4mm driver, scissors and bag hook the most useful. Having been to Switzerland, I saw immediately why it was included. At Mediamarket (their version of Best Buy), the customer in front of me had a bulky shopping bag. He took out a similar knife and unfolded the hook. He ran the plastic handles through it and walked out the door with it. My jaw dropped open. That, with the hex set and scissors convinced me to run to a store back at home and buy one. I don't need a massive Leatherman. This tool is the right size and is just as durable. It's over 10 years old and still works like new.

    I just got this beauty last week since my wife kidnap my Pionner X!
    Is the best thing she did because this tool carry all my fav Victorinox tools plus a Screwdriver. Enough for small components and decent size of Multitool.
    My only downside is the wine opener BUT carry the small flat so is one thing with another.
    I do and will combine this with my Surge for heavy work or when I dont want to carry primary blade/ Swisstool for medium-light work and charge G10-TTI/ Spirit S for casual.
    All of the above options are interchangeable but the Cybertool is a must ofr everyday no matter what. Leather sheath carry of course. . .
    My new EDC no more need it. I was going to take the 41 but honestly no need for saw , etc. .... Already got those and bigger in any companion I have.
    This tool is perfect with two plus since the screwdriver can work with normal 4mm bits. . Not a wide range but no need for more in regards tech job or small stuff

    Bit late to the party, but... If you get the Cybertool Lite, it's the same as this but with the LED torch as an extra layer, which then places the driver nice and central!

      Probably too chunky for those, yes, but I'd also say that any 91mm SAKs are too long to sit comfortably in such a pocket anyway, at least on the jeans we have here in the UK.
      TBH, I don't wear jeans anyway - I get issued cargo pants for work and generally wear combats or similar styled trousers outside of that. My SAK sits on a suspension clip inside my front pocket. Plenty of pants come with dedicated knife pockets, small change pockets and a number of other options... You could always try a belt pouch, if you prefer, but that doesn't always look right with smart or formal wear.

    The CyberTool is a 6 oz tool kit for PCs! It has everything you need (including Torx bits in the the industry-standard sizes) to take apart and reassemble a desktop PC, plus it is able to perform many other tasks as well. The driver has got to be the most comfortable one ever put in a pocket knife. It is parallel to the handle, and extends a nice distance. I've had my CyberTool for about a decade, and have repaired PCs, added interface cards, set up routers, installed cabling, replaced light switches, etc. -- even cut up apples and opened a bottle or two of wine. Between the pliers and the pin, you can easily set DIP switches and reposition jumpers on printed circuit boards. Super useful for anyone who works with computers or communications equipment. Victorinox hit a bullseye with this design!

It is not a common feature but not the obscure. In the older models the half stop used to be done by squaring off the back of the tang. So when it cleared the first corner the spring the would reengage on the second flat. Modern versions use other methods like detentes.

If you got the money and would prefer to have saws go for the L, it’s not that much thicker as I thought and you got a few extra tools (during use, there isn’t much difference between the M and the L). I like them both but just elected the L as my EDC. You can’t go wrong with any of the Cyber line (as the focus are the driver and bits), but having extra tools if you occasionally go to the wilderness is precious.
      BTW, just bought a Deluxe Tinker. Last week I took a few days off and went to the beach with my family. In the water I found a fishing line with 3 shining steel hooks. Cut a finger with the fishing line pulling this mess from the sand. Now I’ll carry the Deluxe Tinker in my pocket even at the beach.

    Great video thanks. I have the SAK Evelution s54 and the plyers & scissors both have the Wanger design of the solid bar spring that do last longer. The Evelution s54 is great for a pack but to bulky to whittle with or pocket carry at 1.8 inches wide. I wanted to get a smaller SAK that has most everything but the Swiss Champ I think, at 1.3 inches wide, maybe is a little to big for whittling or pocket carry too. I went with the SAK Champion Plus that has everything the SAK Swiss Champ has but no plyers and I am so happy I bought it I got another one for a back up if I lose mine as they are harder to find now they don't make them any more. I EDC a Leatherman Rebar so the plyers are not a necessity to me. Then I got to thinking because I still like the SAK plyers and they have there place being small and spring loaded that I could have the best of both worlds by getting the SAK Cyber Tool 34 as it is only about 1 inch thick and is good in the hand and the pocket that I could EDC with my SAK Champion Plus knife 🔪. Together that's 2 inches of tools but sperated so they are ergonomic and easily wealdable while using. My 1 inch thick SAK Champion Plus when suspended in the middle of my pocket to the side from a lanyard clipped to my belt loop is not in the way and I do not even notice it. I plan on carrying the Cyber Tool 34 the same way in my other pocket. I replaced the toothpick on my Champion Plus with the a ferrosiem rod, Firefly, but plan to keep the tooth pick in my Cyber Tool 34 when I get it. I think I will replace the tweezers instead as having to ferro rods , if one rod brakes, is better than two tweezers. I love gadgets and you can never be to prepared.

      A lot of people who reviewed this think Victorinox aimed this at the electronics repair industry. Therefore, the pliers are likely intended for when you just can't get that stubborn motherboard or cover to pop loose and you don't want to break your fingernails. It's not good for the computer if bits of your nails land inside. They can get sucked into the cooling fan.

    Maybe the reason the didnt put the No 2 at the back tool t handle configuration is because u can have the no 2 screwdriver in the driver tool.
    The only benefit i see having the two seperate opener tools, the bottle and can opener, is because u get two different flat head.
    However if you have the cybertool with driver tool, the benwfit habinf two driver at the opener tool seems redundant.
    Wouldnt it better to just combined them into the combination tool and put it next to the knife. U can eliminate a layer, making the knife thinner without compromising usability

      I don't ever recall a half stop on a blade before. Which knives do you know that incorporate that?

    • @MJFallout
      @MJFallout 4 года назад +1

      It's pretty common on many traditional folding knives. The idea is that the blade can't snap shut without some strong, extra resistance (possibly onto your fingers).
      "Here is a list (for Case Knives) (not my list, uncredited) of active patterns that have square joints (read half stops):
      '005 / '005 1/2 / '005RAZ - Barlow/Razor
      '07 / '07W - Mini Trapper
      '009 / '009 1/2 / '009RAZ - Barlow/Razor
      '011 - Hawkbill
      '052 - Medium Congress
      '117 - Sway Back Gent/Jack
      '15 - Small Gunstock
      '156 - Tuxedo
      '20 - Peanut
      '43 - Grand Daddy Barlow
      '49 - Copperhead
      '546 / '546 1/2 - Back Pocket/Panama Trapper"
      Out of these, the copperhead, the mini trapper and the peanut are quite popular, so you'll have a chance to see it there easily.
      But it's really not limited to Case. Manufacturers might choose to add it (to traditionals) just to show of their blade fitting prowess.
      In addition, there are also soft half stops where the blade gets slowed around the middle, but doesn't flick to a specific position; and knives with more stops than one.

      @@txtoolcrib That is kind of the idea of half stop if you look at the tang if it has defined back corners chances are it has a half stop. Some will for lack of a better term pause which is common but a true half stop will actually stop and require you to move it the rest of the way. If you think about it it allows you to hold the knife firmly and begin to close it. Once it is at the hall you can shift you grip to remove your fingers out of the way and finish closing it. You will tend to find it most on single blade pocket knives when you do. I collect Sow Bellies, Stockmen and Canoe patterns to name a couple and have not had a half stop on those multi blade patterns.

  • @adude7050
    @adude7050 4 года назад +2

    It is not so much that the steel is actually softer they might just be heat treating it to a lower rockwell. Like you said it makes it easier to sharpen but them you have to moderate how often you sharpen it or you end up with a toothpick. It would be nice if they changed all their scissors over to the Wenger style spring. I don't like the cork screw either but yes that micro driver comes in real handy if you won glasses. I can't remember how many pairs of glasses I have fixed with mine. I have carried a Victorinox pretty steadily since 1995.

Many High chromium content steels are used in the tool and die industry. It is mistaken that is common thinking that it lowers hardness of steel because many stainless steels known to people are used in industries that need high rust resistance like food processing. So in-order to increase the level of rust resistance less Carbon is used as well as increasing the chromium content. Hopefully this helps. Abe Elias Field Editor Blade Magazine

    The Cybertool was a serious contender back when I was looking for a multi-tool, not sure why it needed a corkscrew, but whatever... Victorinox will Victorinox. lol
    I ended up going with a Rebar simply because I needed real pliers and they offer a decent ability to do finer work (like jumpers on older motherboards) when necessary and I still get a backup blade. Other than that, there's nothing wrong with the Cybertool. I do kinda wish they'd drop the requirement of a corkscrew on so many of their tools, but then if they did it might not feel like a Victorinox. lol
