What’s in your ideal Swiss Army knife? Along the lines of the ultimate house, I designed my own ultimate pocket tool. My Swiss Army knife would include the usual: |
- knife, of course
- nail clipper
- nail file
- scissors
- screwdriver (both flat and Phillips heads)
- can opener
- corkscrew
- toothpick
- tweezers
- magnifying glass
as well as some high-tech mini-gadgets:
- audio player (which doubles as USB storage)
- alarm clock/timer/stopwatch
- camera
- phone
- basic PDA with calendar, contacts and notes functions
- walkie-talkie
- wi-fi and Bluetooth connectivity
- transistor radio
- rechargeable battery
and other useful things:
- flashlight
- compact but strong detachable padlock
- measuring tape
- coin holder
- pen
- lip balm
- mirror
- pill case
- toothbrush
- sewing kit
Yeah, I realize this would probably make an awfully large tool, perhaps too big to fit into one’s pocket — but it’s a fun fantasy. In the meantime, however, we can content ourselves with the Victorinox Swiss Army knife with SwissMemory 1GB USB drive.
