Swiss Army Cybertool — 'The most useful gift I've ever received'

Vbv_bnv

Above, a paraphrase from Shawn Lea's email re: this multi–capability tool that she gave to her brother, "a network/programmer guy... about four years ago. He tells me all the time it's the most useful gift he's ever received."

Pretty high praise, indeed, coming from the nonpareil Ms. Shawn Lea's brother who, if he's anything at all like his remarkable sister, is, without question, someone to conjure with.

The Model 29, in sapphire (above), is $37.38 here.

In ruby (below)

it's the same price here.

All the various functions are listed on both the above sites; I can't be bothered repeating stuff like this all the time anymore as I'm simply too important and busy for such activities.

Not.

But perhaps you'd like a few more functions.

No problema.

You'll want to check out the Model 34 (below)

featuring, among other things, 13 different screwdrivers.

$42.99 here.

Oh, you want it in some other color?

No problema.

How about the stylish emerald version below?

$44.95 here.

In onyx, you say?

Oh, alright.

4400167

$48.88 here.

Enough, already?

Ha — I'm just getting warmed up.

For the grand finale, let me present the Model 41 (below).

It's got your brain inside, besides all the screwdrivers and hex wrenches.

I mean, it's not as if this additional function requires a whole lot of extra space, what?

$59.23 here.

You want to know the most mysterious thing to me about these über-tools for the geekoid?

That the company doesn't offer them in Paris Hilton pink.

Because everyone knows geek girls rule.

I'll also want a seam ripper on the pink one, a plane, an ice crusher, a lint roller, cuticle cutter, medium filbert brush and a ping pong paddle, and then, to quote the great Gene Krupa, "Man, that'll LIVE!"
