THOR Hammer Tool Kit
/thor-hammer-tool-kit-22464.jpg "THOR Hammer Tool Kit")
Utilitarian cosplay. How many occasions do you have to use those two words together in a sentence? (And can you say them 5 times fast?) Ever since I got the ix-nay on wearing my "formal and "functional" Mongol armor suit to work when we host important business meetings for potential investors from Asia, I hav none. But Dave Delisle of Dave's Geeky Ideas has created at least one cosplayer's dream with a very utilitarian side to it: the THOR Hammer Tool Kit.
Before you start sending me emails about how you hope I get hit by a semi, let me state the disclaimer: Dave's Geeky Ideas are called "Geeky Ideas" because they're just that. Ideas. Concepts for brilliance that he's developed mock-ups for, but has not actually made, and cannot sell to you. Maybe some day he'll change his mind, but in the mean time, we'll have to try to just enjoy the idea for its intangible beauty.
The THOR Hammer Tool Kit starts with Mjolnir as a clever hinged tool box, and then opens up to reveal a full set of handyman implements. Check out the GIF here. Including an exterior carrying handle that doubles as that for the set's actual, modern-day hammer. (It secures into a removable tray for stable storage and transport.)
THOR's tool kit would also contain a socket set, wrench, pliers, and screwdriver set. Under the removable tray is space for loose tool and nut / bolt storage.
Leatherman Mut Multitool
I was just sitting here picking my nose and it dawned on me: human hands are the original multi-tool. Then I started thinking about all of the varied tasks they can perform in their host of contortions, nose picking...
Guppie Multi-Tool
I know. There are only so many multi-tools one can own. But only one multi-tool one can own also impersonates the precious, innocuous fish who died on you (possibly repeatedly) during childhood. What up, Guppie Multi-Tool?...

Junk Drawer Starter Kit
At first I thought the Junk Drawer Starter Kit was some sort of gag gift, a box full of tangled paper clips and rubber bands, cables for long gone electronics, and at least 3 items that make you go, "What Is This Thing?"...

Ultra Low Profile Offset Screwdriver Set
Sure does suck when you need to screw, but all the tools you've got to do it with are just too big. Too long. Too high-profile. Am I right, dudes? Am I right, ladies? Am I right, Henry Cavill? So let's all take a moment...
Vampliers Screw Pliers
One time I knew this girl who was a regular blood donor, and apparently if you're a regular blood donor the blood bank pesters you to donate even more blood, and so whenever they would call she'd look at her caller ID...

Yankee Push Drill
The Yankee Push Drill does not plug into the wall, which means its successful use is dependent entirely upon the well-oiled machine that is its handler's body. I bet my right arm and shoulder would be sore for 3 days...

WohnGeist Tool Set
These here are some fiiine tools. At least I hope they are because German manufacturer WohnGeist's 24-piece set and case cost upwards of $3 grand. Making them one of those stunning collections of highly functional and...
Dr. Who Sonic Screwdriver Remote Control
While I'm pretty sure the Sonic Screwdriver in remote control form cannot eradicate the entire E! Network or track aliens of the Zooey Deschanel persuasion, it can make brandishers feel like pretty bitchin' Time Lords...
