Bushwalk Australia

Check out this new Switch product from Quirky. It's a configurable multitool thingy. The product is in it's final stages of development so you can only pre-order it at this stage.



Quirky develop products based on user-contributed ideas. If you've got an idea for a great bushwalking-related product but don't have the know-how and resources to design, produce and market it yourself then this might be a way you can turn your idea into reality.

Since I am also an apple fanboy I first heard about quirky when I read about the iPad case they have developed:

Hi flatfoot,

The switch is a very nice idea, I can see it being useful.

Yeah, but will they provide the "quarter" to tighten it with for those of us outside the US?

Very cool idea. I thought that looked like a USB thumb-drive in one of those pictures, so I checked out the link you posted and sure enough, one of the items in the kit is: 1GB USB Memory Stick

A build-your-own swiss army knife is a sure winner!

I don't think I have a need for such a thing myself, though.

I'll stick with my Leatherman.
Gerber make a really nice looking lightweight multitool. Can't remember what it's called though.

So they can't convince you to switch?

I do love a good pun. Well done.
