History
The backspring Phillips screwdriver was introduced by Victorinox in 1952. The Tinker has remained a very popular model since then.
Variations
- A Nylon scaled version (a.k.a Tinker II / Eurosport / Ecoline), was also available at one time, and may still be available in some markets.
- The McKinley version (see image below) replaces the main blade with a 60% partially serrated blade, on which the serrations start at the tang. The McKinley* was one of a series of three models named after famous mountains. See also: Matterhorn, Rainier. This series is discontinued.
* Note: Mount McKinley is now more commonly known by its native name Denali.
