I only have one Tinker with 90 degree Phillips and the material feels pretty soft to me. Maybe the inline is from the same stock as the other layered tools and therefore harder?
AW (or anyone else) since you own a Deluxe Tinker maybe you can address something that has puzzled me. In several reviews I have heard the 90 degree phillips screwdriver (like the DT has) criticized as not being as good as the inline phillips on some other models. Do you understand what the complaint is? It looks to me like the inline phillips would be more likely to strip screw heads than the 90 degree phillips.

I used to think that the hook was "perfectly useless", until I bought a d started carrying a Victorinox SAK (I had always been a Wenger guy) and relegated my trusty old and well worn Wenger to car duty.How much do you value the scissors? The pen is so and so usable and the hook is perfectly useless.
For ultralight I like the Waiter with an extra needle and tiny screwdriver or an Alox Cadet.
My goto is a simple Spartan with an aftermarket clip said needle and screwdriver.
The only one with scissors that I use is the Alox Pioneer X.

You are way more creative than me then. After the blade I use the corkscrew mostI used to think that the hook was "perfectly useless", until I bought a d started carrying a Victorinox SAK (I had always been a Wenger guy) and relegated my trusty old and well worn Wenger to car duty.
It was only DAYS after purchase that I had to fix an office chair and it proved to be the perfect tool to fit the apolstrey (sp?) back on without cutting and re-sewing. Just a couple days later, I had to fish truck keys out of a sewer grate. Then it got cold, and I was having issues getting my boot laces tight enough over my thick wool socks...then...
Unfortunately, the knife got stolen. I returned my Wenger back to my daily carry...but If I DO need to replace it, the hook is now one of my MUST-HAVE implements (along with a Phillips screwdriver, pen blade and saw).
