Guppie Multi-Tool
Columbia River Knife & Tool (CRKT)
Model #9070
They say, The Guppie was born from the need for a small, pocketable wrench-based tool that could tackle small- to medium-sized jobs. The name comes from its fish-like form. The inventors, Launce and Tom, were able to pack all the other Guppie features - knife, carry carabiner, screwdriver, bottle opener, bit carrier, hex bits and LED light - into this small package is a tribute to their sophisticated engineering ability.
The Guppie's adjustable wrench jaw opens to 1/2", making it a handy tool for light assembly and repair, and a very useful emergency tool in the home, office, or outdoors. The Guppie's 2.0 high-carbon stainless steel blade can be opened and closed with one hand. The Guppie's bead-blast stainless steel body features a carabiner shape, which allows it to be carried on belt loops, D-rings, packs or rope. (It is not intended as a weight-bearing climbing carabiner.) The carabiner detent is ingeniously designed to open bottles and metal jar lids, a very useful feature when camping. At the Guppie's tail is a hex bit receiver which accepts interchangeably the four hex bits included (two flat, two Phillips), making a very functional high-torque screwdriver.
The Guppie's removable injection-molded bit carrier uses two locating bosses and a powerful magnet to hold it to the side of the Guppie securely. One end of the carrier features a tiny but powerful LED flashlight, while the other end has a hole for a ring, allowing it to be carried separately as a key chain fob, for example. The Guppie's removable stainless steel clip allows secure carry in pockets or on gear, and also makes a handy money clip. |
