 Pretty cool, but wide and heavy.Dec 19, 2006
By Kevin Nicholls
"jaded, aging hipster"
I work in IT and co-workers tend to make tools disappear, so this seemed like something handy to have.
The quality of the included tools is great, and once you get used to carrying it around, you almost feel lost without it. It really does seem to have just about everything a geek would need. Oddly enough, the DIP switch tool is actually a ballpoint pen. Personally, I think that's more useful, but keep that in mind if you care about keeping your DIP switches pristine.
That all said, it's much thicker than it appears in the picture -- maybe about an inch or so. It's also heavier than an iPod, which takes some getting used to. The Ruby finish looks great when you first get it, but it scratches very easily.
If you have a need for a lot of the tools, this is great to have. But if you're at all concerned with size and weight, you might want to pass on this.

Great selection of features in a small package/computer workSep 10, 2004
By remmeleaudible
I use this tool often as a computer technician. The torx bits are very handy and the various screwdriver bits are nice as well. I use this often and missed it a lot when I lost it (after having the previous model for years). I like the newer model. This tool has helped more than I would have imagined it would when replacing hardware on computers. IMPORTANT NOTE: Make sure to rotate the plastic bit holder back into place IMMEDIATELY after selecting another bit!!! (so stuff doesn't fall out accidentally). I'd recommend this item to others.

The Best of the BestMar 25, 2007
By Steven J. Bissell
I'm on my second Swiss Army CyberTool 34 and really love it. The venerable Swiss Army Knife series has always produced outstanding products and this one, in my opinion, is the very best and I'll tell you why.
I travel about 8 months out of the year and normally carry my laptop with me. I've found the CyberTool so useful that I wore my first one out. I use it all the time for minor computer issues and also to remove splinters, dig out warts, repair sun glasses, tighten Scuba Gear, write post cards, cut onions, trim fingernails, remove stitches, clean coffee grinders, and probably more I've forgotten about.
Plus it looks sexy!

Best Father's Day Gift I Ever ReceivedJun 14, 2007
By Christopher Palmer
"CMPalmer"
I got a CyberTool Swiss Army Knife two years ago (or maybe three) for Father's Day and despite it being wide and heavy, rarely a day goes by that it isn't weighting down my pocket. It is just too useful to leave behind. I've worked on computers, installed a car stereo, trimmed hair, signed restaurant checks, removed splinters, cut out articles, opened wine, bent wires, repaired eyeglasses, replaced electrical outlets, and occasionally even used it as a traditional pocket knife. I'm sure I'm leaving out some of the other uses as well.
Great item and a great gift idea!

 Quality all-purpose multi-toolFeb 02, 2007
By K. Clifford
Before I got the Cybertool Swiss Army Knife for Christmas, I already owned two other Swiss Army pocket knives: one that's now sold as the Wenger Canyon Genuine Swiss Army Knife, and the other which was essentially the same, but from the late '80s with the BSA logo, from my early days as a scout -- both of which are small and simple knives. I've used that last knife for almost 20 years now, and with proper care it has maintained practically a perfect edge and smooth opening and closure. I love it and it's the reason I still go back to Swiss Army knives: with proven quality, I don't have any real need to try out other brands.
I've never been one for the big multi-tool knives however, but I must say that I love the Cybertool. Of course it has all of the standards, but the real attraction is in the addition of the screwdriver with 7 interchangeable bits (1 regular, and 3 double-sided). I do a lot of pc hardware work and honestly don't usually need more than one of the phillips-head screwdriver bits, but the rest, even the star bits, come in handy if you've ever encountered security screws, which seems to happen more and more frequently. For both the screwdriver and the pliers, the construction is solid and the alignment is perfect. All of the tools open and close solidly, and the removable items (tweezers, toothpick, and ballpoint pen) are held firmly in place. It was always the size of the larger multi-tool knives that turned me off, but this one is just right. Big enough to house everything I need, but not so large that it feels heavy and cumbersome in my pocket.
I gave the knife a rating of "4" for three simple reasons. The first one is the translucent body. Maybe I'm just a traditionalist here, but I would have preferred the choice of solid red or bare metal; I just don't like the translucent plastic. But that alone wouldn't have been enough to warrant a lower rating. A bigger issue is the wire snip on the pliers; a smart addition to the knife, but so small it can be difficult to use. The leverage is there to make the cut, but the depth isn't -- I have to do two cuts, even with 18 gauge wire. And I only bring this up because there is room to make it slightly deeper and wider. The other problem is the placement of the hook. Instead of opening from the end of the knife on the top, it opens from the bottom with the hinge in the middle. Placement on the top of the knife would have allowed it to be twice as long as it is, while giving greater mobility, and hence, functionality. Had its placement been swapped with the can and bottle openers I could see myself using it more often.
Overall, a great knife, and one I'd not hesitate to recommend to other hobbyists. While it's specifically marketed as a "cyber" tool, it would also be helpful as general tool for anyone working with small parts.
