What my Multitools remind me of (a pictorial)
on: December 22, 2010, 03:15:25 AM
I have been toying with the idea of making this thread for a while now.  It is inspired by those times when I am cleaning/fondling my tools and I am reminded of other things by the shapes and textures I see in my tools.  Similar to seeing shapes in the clouds on a cloudy day.

This is what I see.


An undeniable comparison.

Say you don't see the resemblance!

Kind of an obscure Star Wars reference.

From the original Tron movie.

:)

Another undeniable comparison.

Yup, the plier head looks like the head of a goose.

Anyone care to share theirs?

Folks always make fun of me for this one....



I always thought the battery tray on the Victorionox in-body LED looked like a piggy.



Rotate it around a bit so the clip on the LED is the back legs, and assume the pig's head and shoulders are inside the SAK....

Those are quite cute, was that part of a contest as well or just the ad campaign?

I would have entered that if I had known about it.

It was their ad campaign from around 2004 or so. There were several others if I recall :think: but those are the ones I managed to save.


You are right though, it would have been a fun contest. :)

Thanks Gareth, I wish the thread wouldn't have fizzled out so quickly.  I was really looking forward to seeing other peoples impressions of their tools, must be just me and Def that sees these things :)

With a little help from another serrated blade, the emergency blade on the DAK 2010 (DualPro) reminds me of a crocodile. A pretty weird one ;)
