That certainly fits the bill... but I think the Stanley Watch Tool still has it beat! The Stanley is soooooo bad I have not been able to write a review of it!

Naturally I love it!

I've never heard of it, what is it?

Grant Lamontagne · **Reply #32 on:** December 11, 2007, 03:06:37 PM

Let me post some pictures... hard to describe accurately!

oooh sounds good/bad!

I like to think of it as "The Un-Multi Tool" because it has no implements, but then it is a multi because it has pliers, graduated markings and it tells time, so there's multiple functions for you!

OMFG. What vintage is that tool?

WhichDawg · **Reply #36 on:** December 11, 2007, 03:21:40 PM

that can't be real! it has to be a gag! who would use such a thing? and why not put some tools inside,
it looks like it has the room?! LMAO

WhichDawg · **Reply #37 on:** December 11, 2007, 03:27:02 PM

and it looks like it would be so comfy in the hand! (if your the thing!)

WhichDawg · **Reply #38 on:** December 11, 2007, 03:39:52 PM

what were they thinking?!

Grant Lamontagne · **Reply #39 on:** December 11, 2007, 04:15:27 PM

I really don't know much about it except that it was supposedly a gift to sales reps at Stanley. I only know of one other one.

The funny thing is, not only are there no tools inside it despite there being room, there's even holes for the pivot pins!

Is this located in the U.S. Senate building?

I tend to think that the Stanley Watch Tool was just somewhat ahead of it's time. Years from now, when all multitools have big square obnoxious clocks hanging off the handles, we'll all look back at this tool and nod

I understand the French really like it;

The worst part is, I am just picturing the release of the 2009 Skeletool Chronos with a Timex Iron Man bolted to it!

I'm gonna get me one of those... can we get a black one with a G-shock on it too?

WhichDawg · **Reply #45 on:** December 12, 2007, 07:49:26 AM

I'm just gonna glue a cheap compass to my skeletool and carve an aztec sun dial on it.

J-sews · **Reply #46 on:** December 13, 2007, 03:29:13 AM

Wonder if these two groundbreaking devices could be combined into one tool?

NeitherExtreme · **Reply #47 on:** December 13, 2007, 03:55:47 AM

Smoley Hokes! I'd heard the name of the Watch Tool before, but I never knew much about it... Apperently theres not much to know!!! The design session for that thing must have smelled like the '60s...

Hah! I was hoping you'd be along soon WhichDawg!

Actually though, what I had in mind was the SITD knife folding out from the empty handle of the Stanley Watch Tool.....

LOL coming up!

Ah yes!

Thanks for the artwork sir! (I'll gladly split the hefty royalty checks with you once Leatherman gets ahold of this!)

WhichDawg · **Reply #53 on:** December 13, 2007, 05:23:46 AM

they could call it; "The Multi-Edsel!"

tomcrx · **Reply #54 on:** December 13, 2007, 06:27:26 AM

That Watch Tool rocks. I wonder what was in the coffee during the meeting that brought that one to market. Is that thing real?

WhichDawg · **Reply #55 on:** December 13, 2007, 06:30:23 AM

it has to be a joke at the stanley design shop, they must come to work late all the time!

I like that one better

WhichDawg · **Reply #58 on:** December 14, 2007, 01:48:03 AM

yeah I was thinking about it and thought "it opens from the bottom!"
