I present "The-Teddy"
on: December 12, 2013, 11:20:11 PM
I saw this one on fleabay.  Really neat one piece multitool with an attribute I always find interesting ...  a really cool name, "The-Teddy".  I don't know if the name is hyphenated or it is just a raised portion of the tool.  Maybe Jsews will drop by and educate us.

That is an interesting tool. Wonder what the story behind the name is? Cool find Yadda :tu:

Curious.
It's an alligator wrench cross hammer thing.

It really is a screwhammer.

Despite it's cuddly-sounding name, The Teddy is really a quite sturdily built tool. The design was patented in 1919. 



I imagine it would have been quite the handy multitool to have around the farm back in the day. A big hammer face for pounding the crap out of stuff, a "screwdriver" at the end of a stout handle that was probably used more often than not as a pry bar, and an alligator wrench that would be just the ticket for tractor and wagon bolts that had the points rounded off them. :)

In order to be certain of having the right tool for every job.........one must first acquire a lot of tools

Happy holidays Bob!

Great patent document.

Any idea where the name came from?

Merry Christmas to you as well Lyndon! :cheers:


Nope, no idea where that unusual name came from. I've done some additional digging - found out that the tool was manufactured by the Morris-Blodgett Drop Forge Co. of Marshalltown, Iowa - but none of my sources seems to know the origins of the name. :think:

I want one! It looks like a nice allround tool to have in the car for work. I dont often need a hammer or a wrench, but those times i do, its real annoying when I dont have it
