*Note: This contest is over, comments are now closed.
Ok gang we have some NEW MAKE tools coming in, actually they’re here now – thing is, we need to name them. If we pick a name you come up with, we’ll send you one – the very first one in fact, hot off the laser etcher!
These are bigger and toolier (is that a word? should be) than our MAKE: warranty voider Leatherman tools, they are the Leatherman “Juice” model… The Juice CS4 tool comes equipped with pliers, regular and hard wire cutters, straight knife, and four screwdrivers-extra small, small, medium/large, and a Phillips. Also features can/bottle opener, corkscrew, serrated scissors, saw and awl.
So we need to name it and then put in the LASER to etch them, post up your suggestion in the comments, here is what we’ve heard before so don’t use these…
- Big Blue
- Dream Maker
- Blueprint Maker
- Blueprint Builder
- Builder of Blueprints
- Open It
- Make Opener
- Make Player
- Make: Play
- Make: Play Tool
- “Violator” as in an agreement violator
- Make HackKnife
- MakeShift
- The MacGyver
- The dismantler
Make Tinkerer
Make It Happen
Either BeetleJuice or BeatleJuice, for sure.
Justification? Here’s some wiki-age for you:
“Beetles are a group of insects which have the largest number of species. … [The group] contains more described species than in any other order in the animal kingdom, constituting about twenty-five percent of all known life-forms.”
The new Maker Tool has more tools than any other tool, no?
If you go for BeatleJuice, just know you’re using a kick-ass band’s name to describe your tool == yum.
Oh, the spacing [or lack thereof] is optional
Beatle Juice/Beetle Juice works too!
Visionary gets my vote.
Or the decider. The decider is a close second.
Make or Break
then I would say call it Tinky Winky… because everyone needs a tool called Tinky Winky…
How’s about the MAKEGyver?
What About calling it the The Make tool :Agreement Breaker Sounds pretty decent
how about Make: Thing-A-Majig
The Maker’s Key
“Makr”
Yves.
The Jabberpocket Knife: now with Vorpal Screwdriver
How about the “Make: Isolator”, as in component isolator?
OK, I can’t win, but I can still contribute.
“Warranty killer”
“MAKE-A-Ma-Jig”
make: Abundance
Make: Abundance
This could not be any easier. It should be called simply “The Tool” of course.

or even simpler – “void” or “null”
According to Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, a Hooloovoo is a superintelligent shade of the colour blue. Little is known of them, except that one participated in the construction of the starship Heart of Gold.
I changed the spelling to avoid copyright problems and so it would be easier to fit on the Leatherman.

How about “Thy Maker” or “Your Maker”?
It has a nice personal friendly feel, and but still the “meet your maker” undertone (I think people would get that). You could say to that old printer when you pull it out, ‘prepare to meet thy maker’…
love the blog btw : )
blue terror
the iMake
Make: me.
Destructor
Breaker
Remaker
Jack (as in Jack of all trades)
Make Do
Make it Better
How about “Thy Maker” or “Your Maker”?
It has a nice personal old time homey feel, but the sinister undertone (eg. when you introduce it to that old printer — “Prepare to meet Thy Maker!”).
Everyone is overthinking (or underthinking) this. Call it Alligator or Alligatr.
(despite living in Georgia)
Just call it the Alligator or Alligatr.

I can’t believe nobody has suggested “Blue Meanie” yet!
I can’t believe nobody has siggested “Blue Meanie” yet!
It opens like a butterfly knife and it helps build things.
OOPS!
The first time I tried to post I got an error message. When I hit F5, it appeared twice.
EULA-G
I guess that’s more of a software term. How about
WRECKQUIEM
Make: Void , would be even better?
Call it ‘The Diversiform’ then send me one!
Ugh, I just typed in probably twenty different names, and then the blog comment system crapped out on me, and I’m too tired, so I didn’t think to make a local copy before I submitted.
Grrr…
Let’s see how many I can remember:
Athena’s Toolbox
The Teslanator
Insulated Edison
Feature Adder
Hipster Toolbox
The Adapt-O-Tron
The Revampanator
The Refitter’s Friend
The Modchine
Electric Ozone
Hydra-spanner
The Screwmaster
The Enabler
The Ownership
…I’m missing several here, but just one more I can recall:
Engineer in your Pants
“Force Multiplier”
Like a lever, pulley, gear set, or other simple machine, this tool amplifies your own input making your efforts more effective.
*And* it has a pun on being a multitool with pliers.
Make: It Yours
Make: It Yours
Make: Easy Pieces
Mkae: Trouble

(mostly referring to the pliers)
how about:
Pandora’s tool
Can-open ‘er
Make: Gadget Deconstructor
I like to think a multi-tool as a license for unintended use of other things. Just looking at it brings to mind circumventing tamper-proof cases, clever kludge fixes, and the joy of getting something apart without a manual. Names follow:
MAKE: Tamper Accomplice
MAKE: Case Nullifier
MAKE: Service Manual
MAKE: Gremlin Extinguisher
W.Y.N. = Whatever You Need
Hasta luego.
pieceMaker

I would have suggested MAKE:Gyver, but someone beat me to it. I’ll by one if that’s the chosen name though!!
MAKE it Big
MAKE: voidable
Break 2 MAKE:

Just a little tweak
Little Tweaker
warranty adjuster

Make:IT
from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_technology
Information Technology (IT) is a general term that describes any technology that helps to produce, manipulate, store, communicate, and/or disseminate information.
I thought that name matched the spirit of the Make site, and has the additional meaning of “Make It”.
or how about
ModStick
(Make) MeHappy
Pocket Toolbox
Make:Blue Healer
for the play off the words heeler and healer
Or maybe just BlueHeeler for mans best friend.
Yea, I like the second one better.
MakeGyver
Make:it
Make: 2.0
Two possible ideas:
Hephaestus (the greek god of fire and artifice and patron of all craftsman, really a maker’s deity)
Artifice or MAKE: Artifice (drawn from above)
The Make:Shiva
The blue goddess with the many arms.
Heres a link to some pics to see what I mean…
http://courseware.acadiau.ca/courses/engl/3663/wiki/index.php/Shiva
http://www.dollsofindia.com/product/PG24
Make: Extended Warranty Voider
maybe Shiva was a god not goddess.. not sure
I guess the Blue Tooth or the Cool Aid would get you into trademark trouble…
