The dad who fixes things and would rather not walk to the shed. It carries a blade, so it cannot be posted to every destination and cannot be taken through an airport in hand luggage.
What it is
The Cybertool Large in transparent red, a 91mm Victorinox with 39 functions including a bit driver and interchangeable hex bits alongside the usual blades, pliers and drivers. Swiss made. Sold new by an Australian seller.
Why we picked it
The Cybertool is the one Victorinox that earns its size, because the bit driver turns a pocket knife into something that actually undoes screws rather than just scratching them. Thirty-nine functions sounds like a gimmick until it is the only thing in the house that fits the back of a laptop or a set of hinges. It is also the model people keep for decades and then hand on, which very little at this price can claim.
Has a cutting edge. eBay Australia sells it to over-18s only and verifies age at checkout.
