Adorably functional LEGO Swiss-army multitool actually has implements that you could use!

Styled to look like the iconic Victorinox Swiss Army Knife, this fan-made LEGO MOC (my own creation) has some usable tools like the brick separator, screwdriver, magnifying glass, and Technic axle, along with a few others like the belt-punch and corkscrew. Some might even call it a Brick Army Knife! The fan-made build currently sits in LEGO’s Ideas forum, with 4,522 votes from the community.

“Inspired by the variety of multi-tools available in everyday life, I decided to create one designed specifically for LEGO fans,” says Tall Brick Guy, the creator of the LEGO Multi-Tool. “Of course, the most important tool in any LEGO builder’s arsenal is the Brick Separator, and so I began working on a way to incorporate this classic, although oddly shaped, piece into a compact, functional build.”

Designer: Tall Guy Brick

All the tools fit rather perfectly into the iconic red rounded outer body, with independently articulating swivel joints that let you pull out tools when you need them and put them back in when you’re done. Its customizable design lets you add or remove tools, and even change the faceplate color to match your sense of style. My favorite detail, however, is that adorable LEGO motif on the faceplate, exactly where you’d expect the Swiss flag or the Victorinox logo. The entire contraption is pretty compact, measuring 14 studs or a little less than 4.5 inches in length. The only thing really missing here is a neat lanyard hole!

A part of the LEGO Ideas forum, the fan-made MOC needs to reach the threshold 10,000 votes to be turned into an official LEGO product. You can vote for the LEGO Multi-Tool by clicking here.

Victorinox’s Swiss-army multi tools fit right inside this credit card-shaped device!

Victorinox has long prided itself in creating some of the most useful and compact high-grade multitools the world has seen, but none match up to how compact their SwissCard Lite is. Shaped to look exactly like a credit card (it’s about as thick as one too), the SwissCard fits in any wallet, and comes with as many as 13 different tools all integrated into its slick profile.

The SwissCard Lite (named so because it also has a torch integrated into it) contains everything from grooming equipment to tailoring instruments to stationery and even multitools. It’s got its own ballpoint pen, pocket-knife, scissors, tweezers, straight-pin, magnifying glass, scale (with both metric and imperial units), LED torch, and as many as four different screwdriver-heads. All the elements sit within the SwissCard Lite’s nifty frosted-plastic casing, and can easily be carried in bags, wallets, even pockets, serving both indoors as well as the great outdoors. Just don’t carry it onto an airplane… the TSA won’t be too happy about that!

A Swiss Army Tactical… Watch?

victorinox_inox_watch_1

Victorinox’s I.N.O.X. watch was made to be as hardy and as unbeatable as the Swiss Army company’s most famous offering… the Swiss Army Knife. The I.N.O.X. Carbon Limited Edition comes with a design very fitting for Victorinox. A chiseled, rugged body and a woven paracord strap give the watch a touch persona, only to be reinforced by the fact that the watch is actually crafted from carbon that’s 50% lighter and five times more resistant than steel. According to Victorinox, this is the only Swiss watch to withstand 130 extreme endurance homologation tests, including a space-test. The design makes use of a bright orange that isn’t only reminiscent of the NASA space suits and the exceptional engineering of the Golden Gate Bridge, but also the color used to prevent danger and keep you safe. Additionally, the watch also comes with an extra protective bumper that has its own inbuilt USB flashlight, making it the perfect combination of high-performance engineering, Swiss precision, and an adventure-ready outlook!

The Man Ring Titanium Utility Ring is the Only Jewelry a Man Needs

As a manly man, I’m not big on jewelry. No necklaces here. Well, not unless they were of an eagle or something – with a fresh kill in it’s claws. No rings. Nothing. But I would wear the Man Ring in a heartbeat. It’s the unofficial Swiss Army knife of rings.

manly ring

It’s made from aerospace grade titanium and inside it packs an assortment of useful tools. There’s a bottle opener, a straight blade, a serrated blade for cutting tougher things, a saw for cutting plastic and wood, and a comb. All things that are necessary to live a manly life. Sure, the comb is tiny, but real men have mustaches.
