It's a wrench - kinda
« on: December 19, 2018, 04:32:13 PM »
Was at the Restore the other day and another person working there had this little guy on the counter.  It followed my home.  :tongue:

Cleaned it up a little bit with the brass wheel, but the whole thing needs more work.

Looks to be one of the original multi-tools. Leatherman only thinks he discovered them. LOL

Many of this particular multi tool had lines imprinted on them to make the look like monkeys.  Because of the placement if the awl, ( on some it is screwdriver) collected refer to them as naughty monkey multi tools. 

Nice find!

Thanks.   I also found out that they made a lot(?)  of "hobo" knives.
