The bit-driver was introduced into the Victorinox Swiss Army Knife lineup in the new Cybertool models in 1999.
It provides a 4mm hex bit-driver that accepts a variety of double-ended changeable bits. Its original intended application was to be used with computers, as a 5mm hex-nut-driver, these nuts are used to secure D-type electronic connectors, often used for serial-ports, or older monitor connectors . However, these connectors and computers, are falling out of use, and are less common these days. Although, the Cybertool is still very popular and useful as a general-use multi-capable screwdriver.
The driver is designed for use in the fully open position, as well as in the 90º, or 'half-stop' position, where it forms a right-angle with the knife handle.
The bit-driver is paired with a bit-carrier or bit-rack in the same layer. This is a plastic carrier that can hold three bits, one additional bit is stored in the driver when the driver is closed, or in use. The bits are held in place in the driver with a ball-bearing retention mechanism.
The following bits are supplied with the regular Cybertool models:
- Phillips #2 / Slotted 4mm - (A.7680.14 / 30543)
