Odd Macguyver sighting
on: November 03, 2009, 12:51:39 AM
So I just got done watching an episode of Macguyver. One where he has to disarm a bomb on a cruise ship. In one scene he uses his SAK (well, duh lol) and uses the damnedest tool I've ever seen. He uses it to pry off a part of the bomb. It's a longer tool and has a small Phillips at the end. However just before the Phillips it has some serrated thing extending from the side. Looks like maybe some sort of small serrated knife or saw type implement. Kinda gives the whole tool the a appearance of a toothbrush. Anyone have any idea what the crap it may be and/or what it's used for? I've never seen anything like it.

EDIT: Got a shot of it.

Orange peeler? Seriously? I liked it better as a bomb disposal tool.

I think I'll just continue to refer to it as the "Chemically Detonated Explosive Acid Containment Cylinder Cap Lifting Tool".

Huh. Never seen that one before. Orange peeler aside I kinda like it. But then I'd just tell everyone the peeler was for "ordinance disposal".

The funny thing is, that's not the only orange peeler, there's a totally different one on the Minichamp:

A mis-translation, unfortunately; it's actually a cut-n-picker designed to slice through the plastic on medicine bottles and then extract the cotton typically found within it. :)

The Executive orange peeler also has a screwdriver tip and is exceptional at opening the pad of one's thumb....

+1 as do I poncho. I keep it on my keys, I used to have the minichamp there but I like the executive's nailfile for... purposes related to locks :D

I also discovered the knife because of MacGyver, but when I bought the thing for $30 I couldn't bring myself to carry it. I have bought used ones to carry and the new one still sits in my dresser 9 years later haha. I also like having the executive on my keys because they are negligibly smaller than the 91mm scissors, so I can carry a thinner EDC knife and still have scissors.

I don't eat anywhere near enough oranges to be worth buying one, but that is very cool. And a medicine bottle cotton extractor? Along with the toilet paper dispenser key, and that horrifying dentist's tool is there ANYTHING Victorinox won't try and make an oddball tool for?

Hey, the other two - the dentist and toilet paper - were from Wenger, and the cut-n-picker is quite effective, actually. o.o;

Wenger makes the weirdest stuff. If I remember correctly, the dentist's tool was a Wenger.

Oh, most definitely. They both have made some "specialty" tools but IMO Wenger takes the cake. There's a reason their Giant is like, 3 times thicker than an XAVT.

I do like the concept of a fruit peeler of sorts on an EDC SAK. :tu:

Never got to try it out though, perhaps it's time...

Although, McGyver would never kill a man. Because he believes in peace and politeness, that is true, but also because... it would take him half an hour just to find the proper tool on his SAK! By the time he found it, they would be so bored they'd just go like "...oh, whatever, let's be friends." Hey, maybe that's the solution to violence in the cities: if everyone carried a SAK, there wouldn't be murders. Just friendly people showing each other their multitools. Kinda like MT.org on a world scale. :D

Well, you can always use your SAK as a projectile weapon (in which case it's also an OH tool :ahhh) :D

Interesting theory, but sadly not true. I often carry a SAK but I still kill people. But only tourists.  :D :D :D :D

I too bought the Vic executive for the cool factor of the orange peeler. It makes short work of them, and my wife can attest to the thumbs...
Which she has a great handicap, seeing as how she is all thumbs...
Black ones at that. Think I need to check on our plants again and see if they need rescuing. Or resurrection. Was thinking of getting the Vic smokey mountain knife for her butchery of the houseplants, although the name of that model escapes me right now...

Macgyver CAN kill you with a paper clip, but he doesn't. Such is his awesome power.  :D

That's true. When Chuck Norris kills someone, they stay dead.
