the key to that particular multi tool is that it is 2" and doesn't weigh a lot. I have a couple of 'nice' multi tools that are very useful.... except that they're big an' heavy and you'd have to strap them onto your belt like a dickwad each day if you were really going to use 'em.

also: the scissors are the first thing you'll wear out.

dammit....i'm ordering a new one right this minute. I want the Red one this time.

Red like a Swingline? I believe you have my multi tool.

I also had a badly done "swiss army knife." Even bad tools are better than no tools in emergency moments. Amazing what simple physics can accomplish.

Not much into gagetry but... this really works well for me.

I could add the digital camera, DVR and that small thing you place into a USB port.

It would have to be my Crackberry. A few years back the DOD cut off all email access that they did not directly control. It allows me to stay in touch with my other work and responsibilities while I am gone for a day or two at work.

After that it would have to be my Husqvarna Rancher Chainsaw. I cut a lot of wood throughout the year. It has been a Godsend.

This is gonna sound really stupid and behind the times, but honestly, I think my keychain data-stick. From someone who remembers mauling about the place with a box of floppies any time you were going to try and move some data...or the incredible, can-use-them-as-coasters, never break cds (thankyou Tomorrow's World for all your broken promises), or even worse, if you knew you would be transferring more than qtr of a gig, discoing the base unit and taking that with you...an ever-present, little plug in chunk of 8gig memory really is a joy.

i remember it, you can spread jam on it and pour tea on and just wipe them away.

the kids were watching a video tape this weekend and said, these are great, and they never wear out like DVD's do

The new Zune is beautiful. One of my roommates got one the day it came out and I was blown away. Size, color quality, memory, battery life, touch screen, it's all there. A very serious answer to the iTouch/iPhone, IMO.

check it out..

I have that exact universal remote. I got it because it actually controls my weird Italian brand plasma TV. The only one that would do so right out of the package.
