While perusing the net, I came across a tool that, while its intrinsic value might be questionable, its ‘cool factor’ makes it something I must have. Perhaps you, too, will want one.

Everyone knows that there are literally hundreds of Swiss Army knives, and many more knockoffs, catering to almost every taste in cutlery and tools. The one for computer users, techs, and pretenders is the Victorinox Cyber 41.

from Victorinox:

The CyberTool is here and especially developed for our times when computers and electronics rule the day. Thanks to 13 different screwdrivers, cleverly housed in the smallest space, the tool is in a class of its own in the fields of electronics, household, hobbies and toys. The handy bit key and bit holder can be opened speedily in the same uncomplicated way as any other tool. And another novelty: the new transparent look of the handle gives the CyberTool extra style.

The CyberTool, like the other pocket tools developed by VICTORINOX, is elegant and compact, contains a number of tools and offers a wide variety of functions. Thanks to these features the already legendary “Swiss Army Knives” have become a daily companion, just like a wristwatch, for millions of people. They are part of the official equipment for the NASA space-shuttle crews.

So, just like Tang, the Cyber 41 is part of the astronauts ‘utility belt’. Holy space shot, Batman!

Serious utility and cool for about $85.
