The thing is, much like having multiple cars, all those tools have genuine utility. But to continue on with the cars metaphor, bolting your cars together end-to-end completely invalidates any value. On the bright side, the reviews for this product are an absolute gold-mine.

I like this guys humor, but he needs to have some sense of perspective. He ought to be glad that his pocket multitool has a toaster oven and a welder on it at all. People need to understand the speed and imperfect nature of technology.

Kristi appears to have activated the transition function and it went flawlessly thanks to the magic of Swiss engineering. Maybe in can make robo-breasts for her while it's at it? That feature might come in version 2.0.

Well I have to say I love these reviews and the sheer concept that this item exists is funny to no end! Let me know if there is any other funny product you would like to see shared!

that thing is ridicules and so impractical. i bet whoever own one also drives a huge truck because they have issues with the size of thier junk haha

It's not very practical without a sheath to attach to my belt.

Want most of the functionally of your home hardware drawer, with only slightly more convenience than carrying it around with you? You're welcome!
