the key to that particular multi tool is that it is 2" and doesn't weigh a lot. I have a couple of 'nice' multi tools that are very useful.... except that they're big an' heavy and you'd have to strap them onto your belt like a dickwad each day if you were really going to use 'em.

also: the scissors are the first thing you'll wear out.

dammit....i'm ordering a new one right this minute. I want the Red one this time.

Red like a Swingline? I believe you have my multi tool.

I also had a badly done "swiss army knife." Even bad tools are better than no tools in emergency moments. Amazing what simple physics can accomplish. :)

red like the blood of my enemies, sugartits.

lumberjim's killin' tool

Red like I wanna be a swiss army knife when I grow up?

Not much into gagetry but... this really works well for me. :)

I could add the digital camera, DVR and that small thing you place into a USB port.

It would have to be my Crackberry. A few years back the DOD cut off all email access that they did not directly control. It allows me to stay in touch with my other work and responsibilities while I am gone for a day or two at work.

After that it would have to be my Husqvarna Rancher Chainsaw. I cut a lot of wood throughout the year. It has been a Godsend.

This is gonna sound really stupid and behind the times, but honestly, I think my keychain data-stick. From someone who remembers mauling about the place with a box of floppies any time you were going to try and move some data...or the incredible, can-use-them-as-coasters, never break cds (thankyou Tomorrow's World for all your broken promises), or even worse, if you knew you would be transferring more than qtr of a gig, discoing the base unit and taking that with you...an ever-present, little plug in chunk of 8gig memory really is a joy.

i remember it, you can spread jam on it and pour tea on and just wipe them away.

the kids were watching a video tape this weekend and said, these are great, and they never wear out like DVD's do :headshake
cue Dad rant on 'well if you put them back in the case after you finished with them, instead of leaving them lieing around' :mad:

The new Zune is beautiful. One of my roommates got one the day it came out and I was blown away. Size, color quality, memory, battery life, touch screen, it's all there. A very serious answer to the iTouch/iPhone, IMO.

Oh, wait.

I have that exact universal remote. I got it because it actually controls my weird Italian brand plasma TV. The only one that would do so right out of the package.
