I had to laugh when I saw the wristwatch/vice combination! Stanley needs to find someone who understands how to use a focus group before introducing new products. <img src="/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

I think they are merely for marketing…

HAHAHA.

The one picture of the screwdriver watch doesn't look promising. Something tells me that one won't last very long.

Only available in Japan? These are toys. These trinkets might work in a pinch - for about 10 seconds. Nothing to see here, move along...

Maybe the Japanese sold some to the Chinese.

Some poor marketing guy at Stanley has a drop of flop-sweat dangling off the tip of his nose because of these.

Of all of them I can see the possable usefulness ot the one with the tape measure. But I agree the rest are a joke.

WOW. I've seen a lot of stupid gadgets, but these are really absurd. Whoever came up with these deserves to be fired. In fact I think I'm going to boycott Stanly, I simply don't trust any company that would produce such a remarkably stupid product.

Then again, is it possible that this is a hoax?
