All-In-One Metal Sporks

This Lightweight Spork is All You Need in the Wilderness

— January 29, 2014 — Lifestyle
The traditional spoon/fork combination was brilliant on its own, but now the metal spork just got a little more functional with a built-in bottle opener.

The Eat'N Tool is a lightweight, high-tech tool for those who enjoy camping and being outdoors. Along with the bottle opener, the Eat'N Tool has an emergency screwdriver blade which is also handy for opening canisters. The metal spork has a central hole that is intended to help you get a better grip. Of course the classic snap metal clip is included with the spork to attach to yourself, ensuring you'll never be without the necessities in the wilderness.

The Eat'N Tool weighs only 1.5 ounces, so you can carry it around with you wherever you go. Camping woes are solved the next time you want to eat cereal and crack a cold one.
