— November 16, 2016 — Art & Design
This pocket multi-tool is offered by 'Kikkerland' and comes in a shape that resembles an ocean creature.

Appropriately titled the 'Crab Multi Tool,' the product features a variety of functional pieces that come together in the shape of the crustacean. Using nothing but strategically placed appendages, the multi-tool has the appearance of a crab whether its functional features are out or whether they're safely stored away. The product contains mini scissors, a 3/16 flat head screwdriver, a can opener, a mini knife and a rope saw.

This functional product adds to the decor of the home, making it ideal to use as a desktop piece that can work as both decor and to repair items in the home.
