Via PopMech: these early prototypes of Leatherman tools. Starting with cardboard, then moving to wood, then finally a crude (compared with the final result!) metal example.

    I’d think it would be more in the spirit to Make one.

    Let’s see, two sturdy U-shaped rails with holes in the end. Designed to hold a carriage bolt locked with a nut on the far side so the blades can be swapped.

    Then offer a box of blades and other tools that can fit and a variety of sizes for the handles.

    Want a Make multitool with a nipper instead of pliers? Want a magnifying glass? Magnet-o-a-stick? Want one with zero knives because you fly a lot? Need a collet for hex-based tool assortments? Or a telescoping mirror? Pencil?

    With the Make multitool, your imagination is the limit.
