Name the next MAKE tool (and win one!)

*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

This could not be any easier. It should be called simply "The Tool" of course.

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.
| Posted by: Harish on April 1, 2008 at 11:02 PM |
Oh, the spacing [or lack thereof] is optional :) Beatle Juice/Beetle Juice works too!

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 : )

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:

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!").

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

How about the "MAKE: Pocket Bulldozer"? Because when you need to take something really big apart, a bulldozer is always handy. Something smaller? Pocket bulldozer.
OK, and if you're obsessed with alliteration, you could go with "Blue Bulldozer."
Or if you want to be both cutely annoying and alliterative, the "Bitsy Blue Bulldozer" is guaranteed to raise a little howl of protest (and it even contains an oblique electronics wordplay--"bits"-y). Now I have to go kick my own ass for suggesting this. Man, I need coffee.

You only need two tools for a great project -
1. Duct tape to put stuff together, once you're done using..
2. Un-Duct Tape to take stuff apart
In the same vein, it could be a "Sanity Separator" to go along with Crazy Glue.

Idea #1: Two different engravings, one on each side.
Make: Constructor and
Make: Destructor

Ideas #2+: Regular names.
Make: EVC (Exploded View Creator)
Make: Mechanical Spelunker
