You can learn a lot about a man by the tools he keeps. If you want to learn about guys in general however, running into open garages and rifling through toolboxes is probably a poor way to run a case study. To see where we’re at as a society and to learn a bit about the modern man, just look at the tools that are flooding the marketplace. We did, and here’s our shocking discovery: Guys like to drink. Okay, this isn’t ground breaking research, but we do find it pretty funny that every do-it-all tool has a bottle opener on it. We look for multitools with other goodies that make them more than pricey tailgate toys. Barbar from Anso is milled from solid .200″ titanium which is a nice advantage over cheaper multitools, it comes with a prybar, a 1/4″ bit wrench and is far better than the keychain bottle opener from the Bud Girls.
