tag:typepad.com,2003:weblog-349426 2010-09-04T00:01:00-04:00 What's new in tools and home products from the editors at TOH magazine TypePad Very cool multi-tool tag:typepad.com,2003:post-6a00d8341cae1553ef0133f373bf8f970b 2010-09-04T00:01:00-04:00 2010-09-04T00:01:00-04:00

There are dozens of different multi-tools on the market, and they're all pretty cool, but I've never seen one quite like this one. The Loggerhead Bionic Immix Multi-Tool is a compact, pocket-size implement that has an adjustable Bionic Wrench built into its head. Unlike a standard adjustable wrench, which has only one moveable jaw, the Bionic Wrench has six that automatically slide in toward the center when you squeeze the handle. As a result, this one wrench can grip any bolt or nut ranging in size from 1/4 to 9/16 in. The top-quality tool is also equipped with two knife blades--standard and serrated--and an integral screwdriver that accepts any of the 10 screwdriver bits that store inside the handle. But best of all, the Loggerhead Bionic Immix Multi-Tool, which typically sells for about $75, is on sale from Garrett Wade for just $35.50 while supplies last.
