Spinning Hat dropped us a line to let us know that they have a fun Tool Tank coming out this February. It’s an adorable little keychain tank with three screw heads stored in the tracks. When you need to fix something on the go, simply lock and load.

Arthur Sacek doesn’t just play with LEGO bricks. He makes functioning machines. It gets fancier. He builds machines that are actually 3D printers.
Watch how the milling machine is used to print a 3D face in the video after the jump.
Unlike traditional muli-tools, the upcoming Gerber Steady can help you capture photos of the pristine wilderness, the giant trout you just caught, or the bear that’s about to maul you to get that giant trout.
The interesting feature of the Gerber Steady is that it includes a tripod with a standard screw mount for a camera. So those huge claws will be crisp and clear.
There are 12 tools in all, most of them standard, but unless there’s a powerful shotgun in there you are in serious trouble right now. Look for it to hit store shelves sometime in the Spring for $65.
I don’t know if this tool will be enough to help you survive in the event of an alien invasion, but it will be useful for turning screws and getting loaded.

Send me out into the wilderness with a Crovel (and maybe a sandwich) and I’ll build a new, better civilization from scratch. And I will be the king, nay, GOD of that new civilization. The person that wields the Crovel rules the world.
Basically, the Crovel is the Swiss Army Knife of shovels. At its heart the Crovel is a shovel and a crowbar, but it is also an axe, hammer, shovel, bottle opener, saw, machete and more. It even has 15-feet of parachute cord so you can use it as a grappling hook if the situation calls for it.
All-in-all, it replaces 13 tools in your survival toolkit for only $85. Imagine what MacGyver could do with this thing.

From CubicleBot: Fold one over to capture dust from a drill. Is there anything Post-Its cant do? And don’t say “pleasure a woman” because I’m pretty sure that there’s some sort of origami magic for that as well.

The only way this wrench could get any monkey-er is if it were actually fashioned from a monkey. Or if it was being used by a monkey to fix a car. And let’s face it, we don’t want a monkey working on our brakes.
Although a monkey in a jumpsuit trying to fix a car would be funny to watch.

Leave it to the Terminators do do the heavy lifting, these cute tape measure robots are surely doing their part to undermine humanity with inaccurate measurements designed to ruin small building projects and frustrate tailors.

What makes the “Wise Hammer” so smart? Not only does it have a heavy metal bit for hitting nails, it also has a built-in stud finder to prevent you from hanging a 70 lb picture from drywall. That’s smart, but true genius will come when they design a hammer with a “finger avoidance system”. That will be the one everyone wants.

From Fashionably Geek: People carry guns in sling-type holsters, so why not an axe? It’s perfect for the mobile zombie hunter that likes to get his hands dirty.
