FRIEND:

"All right, the crowd at this party's pretty anti-gun and they ain't so hot on cops. So don't, like, OPEN with the fact that you work in gun media and were a deputy sheriff, okay?"

DO YOU CARRY A MULTI-TOOL EVERY DAY?

[Señor Editor Ed Combs @talledcombs]

@The_Monarch FUNNIEST part is Google ID'd it as a fake.

[Señor Editor Ed Combs @talledcombs]

[Señor Editor Ed Combs @talledcombs]

@Kewl_Errol I LOVE the little key-shaped units. Terrifically versatile.

[Señor Editor Ed Combs @talledcombs]

We gotta get these numbers up, folks.

A pocketknife, one of those bladeless EDC thinguses like a CRKT Viva ... shoot, even a P51 can opener or an old-timey church key is so much better than nothing when you need something harder than your fingernails that it defies description.

@ColeVonColeIII @Blackfingers63 That's a beauty.

@bmitori actual LOL

[Señor Editor Ed Combs @talledcombs]

Bullpup guys trying to convince me that I like bullpups are like the math-nerd-metal guys trying to explain to me why the robot conversation on their stereo is actually WAY better than what I like.

I'm not sayin' it sucks. I'm just sayin' I don't like it.

[Zombyboy @zombyboy]

Man, I hate bullpup designs. Hate.

And some of these look so incredibly awkward to use. I can't imagine carrying them.

YMMV.

[Señor Editor Ed Combs @talledcombs]

@LibertasCultor Yeah, an actual set of pliers is FAR preferable to carry, especially if you have suspicions that you might need them later that day.

[Señor Editor Ed Combs @talledcombs]

@LCNM_Patriot Yup. It's one of those rare cases in which working to avoid a patent actually made for a better overall design.

[Señor Editor Ed Combs @talledcombs]

@LCNM_Patriot Dang! Yeah, I always liked them because of how easily you can open the pliers one-handed.

[Señor Editor Ed Combs @talledcombs]

Sometimes, that Contributing Editor Frank writes a sidebar that's worth reading.

I take back some of the things I've said about him.

[Señor Editor Ed Combs @talledcombs]

@SMRdeka I love the cadet and I even love my Waiter.

A knife, a way to open a can of food, a tweezers, a toothpick, pin, a corkscrew to hold the little eyeglasses screwdriver, and some Claritin. Not too shabby.

@Rob4766 They really are a blank canvas for the artist to explore.

[Señor Editor Ed Combs @talledcombs]

wait til he finds out what we do to frozen burritos

[Señor Editor Ed Combs @talledcombs]

@CfMatzke I don't know what to tellya.

Some guys never learn that you can just do things.
