Dec 18, 2010 Stuart 5 Comments

What Would You Do With This Giant Wenger Swiss Army Knife?

Dec 15, 2010 Stuart 2 Comments

If you had this giant pocket-busting swiss army knife, what would you do with it? Would you put it on display in your home, or whip it out when needed? Personally, I would never buy a tool like this, simply because there’s no built-in ballpoint pen – I’d expect at least a mini Mont Blanc […]

Grenade Shaped Stubby Screwdriver

Dec 13, 2010 Stuart Discuss

I’ve seen novelty tools before, but this is the first time I’ve ever seen a stubby screwdriver in the shape of a grenade. The two reviews on Amazon didn’t speak highly of the tool’s durability. Unless you’re hankering for a grenade-shaped keychain, the Picquic Teeny Turner will serve better for on the go screwdriving. Grenade Screwdriver Set via Amazon

“Many-in-One” Tools are [Unfortunately] the Way of the Future

Dec 9, 2010 Stuart 13 Comments

I read a frustrating article the other day, In Smartphone Era, Point and Shoots Stay Home, (also via Yahoo), which discusses how people are abondoning their point and shoot (P&S) cameras and using their iPhones, Androids & Blacberry smartphones’ built-in cameras. In a similar way, many DIYers are going gaga over all these “many-in-one” tools […]
