Wow! Amazing for so many wrong reasons. I need one of those for sure. The perfect gift for someone I know..! :)

Maybe add some small drivers inside the frame? Like on each end of a "water bottle" maybe? (Might as well go all the way).

Then you should look here (https://www.rei.com/search.html?q=multi-tools&r=brand%3Azootility-tools%7Cultimate-survival-technologies&origin=web&pagesize=90&ir=q%3Amulti-tools). It includes the above tool.

Ok, I finally the plug and ordered one of these.

Not as a gift for someone who deserves it, but to hang it somewhere I see when I wake up. Bound to make my days start off with a smile. :) Or simply add to my collection of things gone orribly wrong. (Mostly DIY stuff  :D )

Ah, that is a way too friendly error.

My DIY mess ups typically have a proper good go at trying to kill or maim me. Examples includes setting myself on fire, dropping liquid steel in my own lap, electrocuting my nose, having machinery throw heavy metal objects at me and the classic driving over your own foot with a forklift. Pretty sure I've also surpressed the really traumatic ones.

If it makes you feel any better I set myself on fire twice. Both times with burning alcohol.  :ahhh

 :D

Ps: We need a  :ahhh on fire.  :D

Post by: Vidar on July 10, 2017, 05:33:06 PM
It actually wasn't much  :ahhh for me, but an icon with fire added would be great for sure :)

I was just doing my thing when I noticed this burning smell. I turned around and had a long look around in the hall, but couldn't see anything wrong. Still that burning smell kept getting stronger and stronger, and smoke started to limit the vision. And wasn't my stomach weirdly hot all of a sudden? So I looked down, and sure enough, I was ablaze. Managed to strip down real quick, and I've only had work clothes made of cotton, wool or leather ever since.

I haven't set myself on fire with it, but the self igniting powers of acetone has also given me some scares. Luckily steel tables don't burn.

I think the main problem is that once something is very much routine it is easy to get too relaxed and complacent. Absent mindedness is a potential killer for sure. Then again, nothing like a little fire to get you back on your tiptoes. :)

The second time, the front half of me, except for my face, and a good part of the room was on fire. I managed to extinguish all the fire. Luckily alcohol does not bur well or hot. But I was still burned on thighs, torso and arms. It hurt quite a lot. Though there is not much scarring left, I learnd to always use a proper stove and not some improvised pile of smurf, made from a can and a bit of rolled cloth for a wick...

So what was the first time? Was that the other side maybe?
Title: Re: Where should we put the screwdrivers?
Post by: lister on July 11, 2017, 02:06:28 PM
The same side but a lot less severe burns. It happened when I was a bit younger, in times when I liked fire a bit to much. Not like an arsonist  but I was fascinated by it. I had a small alcohol burner as a part of my chemical experiments kit and alcohol to go in it. And once I was trying how well the alcohol burns by itself and in the process I became the burner as it were.  ::)

I finally got it! Oh happy days!

I'm happy to report it performs exactly as expected. There is hardly a thing it can do. It is surprisingly sturdy though, so it will be able to not do for a very long time.

I just can't help it. I like it for all the wrong reasons. :D

I thought it would be a contender for most happenstance design, but sadly didn't quit make it. Proud second place though :)

Awesome!  :like:

The saddle part alone would be a nice little piece to put on your keys.
Or cut the wheels off, and use it like that.

Title: Re: Where should we put the screwdrivers?
Post by: Vidar on July 29, 2017, 01:04:53 AM
Wow, almost usable that way. No, I can't cut into this piece of art. I might end up framing it for posterity.

But just noticed that yours has an inch ruler marking - mine don't. (Nor is it straight so maybe just as well).

Piece of Sheet Metal® has an almost true ring to it...  :D

Thatat's a much better design RP -You could possibly even use those tools

Did you do this in real life or is it photoshopped!!

However as a cyclist - I love the original design

It seems the design brief for this was to create a multitool with as many unusable tools as possible
And I think this MT belongs on the wall as a decorative piece not in the saddle bag.

The website has it down as having wire cutters ??? How does that work??
Apparently the circle in the wheel is a signal mirror
And what is the loop around the back wheel ???

The wire cutters work as well as everything else on this tool.  :D

I'm most amazed that the wheel circle is almost round. Maybe a production fault? The center does have a mirror finish on both sides. I guess you can signal to more than one party at once..  ::)

The I think the loop around the wheel is to hang it onto something? Almost like a pocket clip, except you don't want that pokey thing in your pocket.

Yes, it belongs on the wall. It is an artistic and ironic comment on the often less-than-optimal one piece of sheet multi-tools that flows the market. That it isn't actually meant as that, and even sold as a multi-tool, just makes it all the much better.  :cheers:

I actually have to thank ReamerPunch for making me aware such a thing actually existed.  :tu:

Thanks! I haven't gotten my design into production yet.  :D
No photoshop, just microsoft paint. I don't have one of these tools, I just saw it on ebay, and thought it was too good not to post here.
Not sure about wire cutters, but the loop is most likely to hang it on a belt loop. Many long one-piece tools have something like that.
Why anyone would want this thing on them is a mystery, though.

It's a thing of beauty! ::)

Why I actually got it, is to put a magnet on it and make a fridge magnet out of it :D

Anyhow, a thought occurred to me... You know how El Cheapo bikes are sometimes called
BSO's (Bike Shaped Objects)? I think this one is a TSO (Tool Shaped Object) meant to be
used on the BSO's!  :pok:  :P
