@[email protected] suggested we have a Weird Knife Wednesday.

(This should be for fun so please don't yuck anyone's weird. )

Turns out, I don't have too many "weird" knives. But here's a weird multitool.

I have no idea where it came from. It was gifted to me, possibly as a silly holiday stocking gift.

The hammer/pliers (pliemmers?) actually have a spring that sorta works. And also a tiny wire cutter in case you find yourself needing to cut, I don't know, maybe 28 gauge wire?

Knife blade and combo-flat head/cap lifter really round out this tool set. The key ring is standard size for a sense of scale.

Just amazing.

I've seen many similar implements, but yours is certainly the smallest hammer-plier I've ever clapped eyes on. Maybe it could be useful for driving thumbtacks into a bulletin board, or something.

I don't know if I should be worried or relieved to find out that there are other, larger, versions/variations of this.

[–] dual_sport_dork 2 points 1 year ago

There is indeed. This type of thing has been one of those perennial "gifts for dad" sorts of tat you find in department stores on an endcap in front of the ties, for people with little care and even less imagination.

The usual example is about 6" long. There are also versions that trade the nail puller claw for a tiny axe, which is an even worse idea.
