I love my Leatherman, but it’s completely useless if right when I need a tool I don’t know where the heck I put it down five minutes before. The Guppie is always right by your side when you need it. More »

It’s a simple fact of life that the times you most need a bottle opener are the same times you don’t have one nearby. The Aussie guys behind the incredibly sexy Leg Opener we told you about last year have just solved that dilemma with the Leg Opener keyring.

Made with a brushed stainless steel case and an anodised aluminium lower leg, the keyring may not be revolutionary, but is certainly one of the most stylish bottle-opening keyrings we’ve ever seen.

It is also $10 cheaper than the fridge magnet version, costing $20 plus $3 shipping.

This is the Code-38 Pro Stealth, also known as the $US410 corkscrew. Four hundred and ten dollars make for “a complete blend of blasted textures and vaporised titanium based finishes” that opens bottles and uncorks wine. Which is fucking ridiculous. More »
