An AMAZING bit of kit. Amazing.

My Dad gave me a P-38 back in 1973, and I put it on my keyring because I thought it was way cool. (Hey, I was a 14 year-old geek. Sue me.) That SAME P-38 is still on my keyring because, well, it is just so darn useful (that’s a form of cool, right?) It has been with me almost everywhere. (The only place, ironically, that I did not get to carry it was at Basic Training.) It had a date and some lettering on it, but they have long since worn off. It is almost all raw, silver metal. But it still works. It has been used as a can opener, tape ripper (for packages), staple puller, keyboard cleaner, screwdriver, pry bar, used to bend wire, as a scraper for making sparks, and as an ad-hoc measuring device.

Yes, my Squirt and my Wave have a can/bottle openers. But……

Sometimes, you just gotta stick with the classics.
