Adorable Gerber pocket multitool

Over on Boing Boing Gadgets, our Joel's spotted this amazing little Gerber Artifact multitool. I'm a total Gerber-tool freak (even moreso than my beloved Leatherman Skeletool -- they're owned by Fiskars, the best scissor company in the universe, and every Gerber tool I've owned has been really well-made and practically indestructible.

Gerber snuck out this cute little "Artifact" multi-tool when I wasn't looking. Just a little longer than a cigarette lighter, it includes a Phillips and flathead screwdrivers, a bottle opener, wire stripper, prybar, and a knife – and the knife uses replaceable #11 blades. Not bad for $10 – you might even be able to get it past the TSA by tossing away the blade before a flight.
