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

Sog PowerLock Multi-Tools

Dec 8, 2010 Stuart 2 Comments

I’ve added a new multi-tool to my daily carry rotation – a Sog PowerLock EOD. It’s quite different in design than the Leatherman Wave I typically carry, so it should be interesting to see how the Sog fares in comparison. Most notably, the tool is somewhat larger than anticipated, and its included leather sheath is enormous! […]

Gift Guide: Streamlight Stylus Pro Compact Flashlight

Dec 3, 2010 Stuart 4 Comments

This Streamlight Stylus Pro is by far my most well-used LED flashlight. I carry one around with me nearly every day, and after 30 months of use, it’s still going strong! The Stylus Pro is also one of my favorite items to gift to people. Most of my friends and family members don’t carry flashlight around with them, […]

Over at Bolty.net, Stacy’s written a series of tutorials on Soldering Techniques for the Reluctant Motorcyclist.
