Name the next MAKE tool (and win one!)

Cs4Op L

*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

It should definitely be called the visionary.

Visionary gets my vote.
Or the decider. The decider is a close second.

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

Posted by: Harish on April 1, 2008 at 10:59 PM

BeetleJuice

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'...

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.

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!").

Name suggestions

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


Posted by: ap1.myopenid.com on April 2, 2008 at 12:40 AM

Name suggestion

"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.

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.

My Suggested Name

Suggestion: Avoid names that refer to the tool being blue in case you want to make the tool in other colors some day.

My name idea: The Make Warranty Nullifier. It's like a Make Warranty Voider, but more so!


Posted by: jdw242b.myopenid.com on April 2, 2008 at 7:24 AM

call it...

on the side a large open number One; inside that the word 'All'.

All in One.


Posted by: devilmanjosh on April 2, 2008 at 7:33 AM

Naming

It should be called

Maker Modder

Or just

Make Modder


Posted by: MattNico on April 2, 2008 at 7:36 AM

Considering the name...

It's already called the "Juice" so why not take it one step further and call it the Make:Juicer as it helps you squeeze every last ounce of usefulness out of your projects.

E = M C(made)
with the (made) as a superscript.

I have to admit that I also like the previous "Piece Maker" suggestion.

Un-Duct Tape

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.

slogan would be
"If it ain't broke: The Fixation"

Make Apart

Open Sesame

Make Me One With Everything (ok, from the Dalai Lama's hot dog joke)

Make the Ripper

Make Or Break

Daddy (as in, who's your Daddy?)

The Reverse Engineer

The Great Leveler

The Ownimator

The Kaboodle
slogan: For those who don't have everything.

Btw, I always put three small super magnets in the clip of my leatherman - I can store it on the swinging light, it is magnetized and can magnetize another tool easily, and I always know where to find a good magnet when I drop a screw etc.

I really think it should be called the Officer (or maybe Officr if you are like that). The reason is that in the Swiss Army, you have to be of officers rank to get a corkscrew on your issue knife!
