Crab Mate: Crab Shaped Multi-Tool

crab mate Crab Mate: Crab Shaped Multi Tool
Multi-tools are super handy, so in an ironically cute twist someone has come up with a crab shaped one that doesn’t have any hands. The Crab Mate is a crustacean that can do it all. If by “all” you mean screw driver, hex wrench, pry bar, bottle opener, mini saw box cutter, paracord knotless tie device and key chain. Perhaps you could even use it to open up a real crab?

This handy and whimsical tool will come in either stainless steel or titanium with a polished finish. The little crab measures 2.9″ by 2.7″. It’s functional but cool enough looking that you’ll want to keep this little sea creature out on display. Available soon via Kickstarter.

Reusing RJ-45 Jacks and Plugs for a Key Rack

rj45 key rack Reusing RJ 45 Jacks and Plugs for a Key Rack
Here’s a smart idea to repurpose RJ-45 plugs and jacks. If you work in IT or have a collection of wires in your basement, you’ve probably seen the colorful RJ-45 plugs, typically used for ethernet connections. But as this Instructable shows us, it’s a simple matter of just cutting off the wires, looping the cable inside the rubber housing around a metal keychain and you’re done (basically). Of course you need the jacks to complete the wall-mount part of the key rack. I’m not sure how sturdy it will be as these cables are not usually plugged and unplugged so many times but I do like the color coordination and geeky reuse of possibly outdated cables.
