Have to admit it is tempting to use.

Those are some good ones David!  

As far as crate tools go, the only one I've got is this Tomahawk Junior that Mat sent me. It's pretty cool, with a hatchet and a hammer and a couple of nail pullers. If I were a crate I would live in mortal fear of this thing:






Bridgeport Hardware made a whole line of different size Tomahawks. So far I've avoided the temptation of getting more, as the last thing my wallet needs is another slippery slope!

I have a similar tool marked Klas Törnblom,Eskilstuna.
It´s a great tool.
Eskilstuna is well known town for it´s steel and many knife/steel producers.
Klas T was mostly known for his Razor knives,pocket knives and some kitchen cutlery.
Apparently he did some heavy duty "multifunctional" tools as well.

Pocket screwdrivers come in a myriad of permutations and configurations.  These two are neat examples.

I had a skatchet once, neat little tool, didn't need a handle until you needed to use it, then you just went to the closest tree with a decent branch used the head to cut it down the thread it into the head.. JR

I've seen a couple Skatchet heads come and go on ebay, but I haven't pulled the trigger on one (yet). They do look pretty cool

Bob that Tomahawk Junior looks like a good one. I've been tempted mighty over those Bridgeport tools. So far I've resisted temptation. I would like to have one or two but they may be like Lay's potato chip in that you cant just stop at one.   

Good looking nippers Mr B. They appear to be well made.   

Thank you Y!   

MP seems like I had a skatchet at one time many years ago. But I cant remembe for sure.        It is a neat tool.

There's a little story behind the one I had, my grandmother bought it waaaaay back when, she did her research cause she saw it in a magazine, and then got it for my father for when he went into the service back in the 60's, well it lasted! maybe that's where it went the old fart took it back! JR
