Quirky Switch Customizes Your Multi-Tool
Most Multi-tools are useless. There’s no sensible reason for anyone to carry 30 different tools at all times. Specific-purpose pocket knives, on the other hand, like the Bike Multi-Tool, actually make perfect sense. Proof that other people feel the same way: the crowd-sourced Quirky Switch.
Billed as the “ultimate modular utility device,” the actual knife is just a frame with body covers, where you can attach an axle assembly that has provisions for various tools. Three axle assemblies come with the set, namely small (for holding 2 to 6 tools), medium (for 4 to 10 tools), and large (for 7 to 13 tools). The device’s thickness can be adjusted, depending on which axle you use. That means if you use the small one, you can have a six-strong multi-tool that barely makes a bulge in your pocket.
What kinds of tools come with each axle? [...]

Lay Down The Internet Law With A Real Banhammer
Cops have badges. Judges wear robes. Magicians have wands. Now, even forum moderators can be easily identified with their official equipment by patrolling their favorite websites while cocking a real-life Banhammer. Kablam! You’re banned!
Styled like a regular sledge hammer with the word BAN carved out of the face (in reverse), the Banhammer should make abusing internet users more fun. This thread breaks the TOS in so many places. Kablam! I’m putting an end to your senseless flamewars. Kaboom! No access for a week. Haaaarggggh!
Artist Christopher Thompson came up with the creation, laser-building two matching halves of the head using a 3D printer. He welded both parts together, attaching the resulting slab to a wooden handle, so you can swing it around like you’re the Mighty Thor of the online domain. Who would have thought that overseeing a Hello Kitty discussion forum can look so macho?
He posted the Banhammer’s design, along [...]
Swiss+Tech Utili-Key XT Fits In Eight Tools In A Key, Makes Swiss Knives Look Large
Let’s face it. As cool as the Swiss Knife is, it’s now too big to share space in our pockets with all the other gadgets we typically carry around. The Swiss+Tech Utili-Key XT offers an attractive replacement, bringing eight indispensable (okay, arguably indispensable) tools at your disposal while measuring only slightly bigger than a regular key.
Instead of fold-out tools in a bulky panel for pocketing, the micro-sized stainless steel implement lets you have them occupying a small amount of space right on your keychain. That means no extra heft to carry and no pocket space to lose, all while still bringing the most basic of Swiss Knife talents along. It tightly squeezes in a bottle opener, a wire stripper, a wire cutter, three screwdriver heads (flat, Phillips and one specially for eyeglasses), a nail cleaner (clean up a bit, you filthy city slicker), a nail [...]
