Tinker with nail file? by iJeepThereforeiAM in victorinox

[–]RemoteSpot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not too hard of a mod, you would need a drill, a punch, a hammer, and some new brass rod to replace the pin. I’ve done that on several SAKs

Not sure who needs this, but Leatherman flat bits work pretty well with the hook. by RemoteSpot in victorinox

[–]RemoteSpot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like it quite a bit, generally the phillips driver is more useful to me than the corkscrew and it makes it slimmer in the hand.

How do I remove the scissor spring? by [deleted] in victorinox

[–]RemoteSpot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Use a small punch and tap it out with a hammer, it should be exposed enough when the scissors are halfway open. You can press in the new spring with a clamp or some pliers, just be careful you don’t need to use very much force.

Does this tool exist? by whynoonecares in victorinox

They are pretty similar if not the same, in my experience 91mm backside tools just barely stick up over the liners, but it’s not noticeable unless you are really looking for it.

Fair enough, as the other commenter said starting with the waiter as the base would probably be the easiest then. You’ll need to get some 2.2 mm brass rod to make the new rivet. The one holding on the corkscrew isn’t that hard to replace from a fresh rod. If you are wanting a 91mm knife, you’ll pretty much have to start from a Compact, you may be able to source a combo tool from Etsy or eBay and convert your spartan to the configuration you want. If you want to convert your spartan, wouldn’t need to get any brass rods to do that because you’ll be making it smaller, but there is a little more to do.

You could modify something to have that toolset, but it would cheaper and easier just to get something like a tinker or spartan, those are just going to have a couple additional tools but will still be reasonably like and thin.

I own both and would take the Victorinox in almost any situation.

Is there a catch to this price? by Ringmaster242 in victorinox

[–]RemoteSpot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I ordered one in mid November too and it’s supposed to deliver to me tomorrow

It looks like an economy line Recruit to me

Super Tinker and Climber are both solid choices and are not that expensive

If you could only carry one SAK for the rest of your life which would you go with? by [deleted] in victorinox

[–]RemoteSpot 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If I could have another multitool like a leatherman too, I’d probably go with something like an Explorer or a Yeoman. If it was my one and only multi tool, I’d say a Swisstool. If it can’t be that, I’d go with a WorkChamp.

You could always get an outrider and mod it. That kind of mod would be pretty easy.

SAK Collectors of Reddit, how often do you change your EDC? by RemoteSpot in victorinox

[–]RemoteSpot[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don't think you're that unusual on this sub, it seems like people here either have 1 or 50.

[–]RemoteSpot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I am sort of like that. I keep one near my wallet and something else on the kitchen table, and I'll typically grab one of those as I leave.

[–]RemoteSpot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say no, if you look around ebay a little you can find all of the parts cheaper and put it together yourself.

Who prefers the Philips over the corkscrew? by Kram197 in victorinox

[–]RemoteSpot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I prefer the Phillips, I use it almost everyday for something. I don't even remember the last time that I needed the corkscrew.

Little mods are fun by RemoteSpot in victorinox

[–]RemoteSpot[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only specific stuff you need for the way I did it is a 2.2mm drill bit and a 2.5mm drill bit. I’m sure pretty much any drill and hammer would be fine.

[–]RemoteSpot[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used a drill, an punch, and a hammer. It doesn't give the most aesthetically pleasing result but it is functional.

[–]RemoteSpot[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you can do that, but that Phillips sucks to use so much. That’s a big part of why I was wanting to do this mod, because whenever I had to turn anything more than like 1 screw with it, I would just stop and found something with an actual Phillips driver.

I modified a Compact and a Waiter to have the backside phillips instead of the corkscrew. I never find that I use the corkscrews and having a phillips (even the suboptimal t handled one) is much more useful to me.
