For years I've stubbornly refused to acknowledge any possible benefit of having a bunch of average tools cramped together with you but I have to confess after crawling in slushy snow over my ankle deep for three and a half hours under my lorry this morning armed with the flashligt of my phone, a knife, a crappy screwdriver and a loose jawed monkey wrench trying to figure out why my tailgate lifter died to the loading bay I sure could have used a pair... Come to think of it I DO have a pair I got for christmas years ago but never really used for anything, gotta see if I can find it and take it to the truck.

For the bracelet, don't really see the benefit of that... looks like the tool that's hard to use for anything has now successfully been made almost impossible.

I'm sure it's useless for most tool needed applications. It's the times that you need to pull a tool out of thin air to save the day that I want it for. If you have ever had your kid come to you with loose screws on his hockey helmet 2 minutes before game time, you have been there. I wouldn't use it to rebuild an engine, remodel a kitchen, or cut a trail through a forest, but it's cooler and more handy than any wearable jewelry that I currently own.

Hey Con, was it the never knowing bit that hasn't let you down yet? Not sure I could take that kind of suspense for 10 years.
If they could some up with one that included a time machine...
