So I sold my DSLR, actually made a modest profit, bought a NIB Canon G12, which by the way is a SUPERB camera and had some money left over to buy this...
It's called the Swiss Army Micro tool chest and it is made in collaboration with Bergeon. Might I say, those guys at Swiss Army are a clever bunch of people!
The cool thing about this thing is besides the bottle opener, corkscrew, knife, it's got the little handle that comes out and you can put different tips on it to do small work/repair. Seller sold it complete with an extra set of 4 screwdriver heads for the empty slots on the holder. I guess SA/Bergeon left open four empty slots to customize the type of tips you want to carry. It's also got some tools that I have no idea what they're for, like the "awl" and the "reamer", but everything else looks pretty useful for non-watchmakers. The loupe is a bit disappointing as it is small and I believe only 5x, but still a decent substitute when a decent one isn't available. Another thing I would probably be a bit iffy is that the handle is a bit short, so when you try to hold with the "pencil grip", doesn't quite grab too well because of the short length, but that's what my 6767F is for right?
For people on the fly or going on buying trips/outings, simple strap changes and what not, this tool looks pretty promising and most importantly handy. I would figure also very nice to tighten little screws on gadgets, eyeglasses, etc. Plus, it's just downright cool.
Haven't done any work with it yet, but just thought I throw it out there for people that might be interested in something like this. Sorry for the craptacular mini review. If anyone else though has one input is always appreciated as well...
