The essence of my Kiosk is stuff you kinda want but probably do not really need... but boy oh boy is it cool.

My wife got a pair of these scissors that look kind of like glasses when folded for her knitting bag and they're pretty cool:

I have this multitool on my keychain and was tightening the bolts on a high chair at a restaurant just a couple of hours ago:

6-Bit Hex Wrench Multi-Tool

The new Wolf Tooth 6-Bit Hex Wrench is a slim, strong multi-tool with 11 functions for common bike repairs and everyday needs. Six hex bits are stored inside the handles that fit into the end of a ball detent swivel head for use. It is small enough to fit into a riding tool wrap or pocket, and has an optional key ring attachment to fit on any keychain for use away from the bike.

@gbargoud I've had my eye on the Leatherman Raptor shears.

What that plane needed were some spiders and snakes to balence the ecosystem.

... can't bring ants on the plane... plane's kitchen is probably infested with crazy ants, the seats have bedbugs and there are three species of roaches.

But *I'm* the problem.

Another reason I hate flying.

They took my soldering iron!

I have an uncle who is also a math teacher and he taught in PA in one of those places where no one shows up to school on the first day of deer hunting season.

Every kid had a knife. Like a camping knife.

There is something endlessly appealing to me about "secret emergency tools"

I have learned that a knife (a normal sized one) can be useful... but my many mini folding scissors which I put on everything have come in clutch far more often.

I always have scissors, most basic tools, small pliers and a knife. Because life is an adventure.

*click click click click click* around the room. The sub went very pale and quiet, and said he had to go do something else, and we could figure out the cake while he was gone.

I actually have some plastic buckles with a knife in them. The TSA and the toddler are 2 reasons they have not been used when making my current bag

I like your idea better.

When I was a kid, a teacher led us in an exercise about creativity or something and we were supposed to list ten new uses for various common objects like a ball or a button

Now, this was the 80s so cartoon violence was common. And you could get those gunpowder snap things down at the corner deli

I said you could put a little bit of explosive in the buttons and scatter them like mini-mines

Teech was frozen in panic
