Tiny Package

In an age of Wii, fantasy football and Chatroulette, sometimes you just want to work with your hands in the real world. Which is why we love this mo-tool axe by Brook & Hunter. It's twelve of the most commonly-used tools tucked into a handsome wood-inlayed stainless steel implement. Smaller than the average hammer and larger than a pocket knife, it's the perfect size for apartment dwellers that don't need (or have the room for) a heaping Klein bag of tools.  Not to mention, it's a handy addition to your summer barbecue, camping gear or beach bag. The only thing missing that we'd certainly get a lot of use out of? A corkscrew.
