How many uses can one tool have? If you think the answer is “never enough,” the Piranha by Pocket Tool X might just be for you. A multipurpose job (which kinda reminds us of a dinosaur’s head), the Piranha boasts a double-ended bit holder, both open and box wrenches, a bottle opener, a nail puller, a scraper, and pry ends — and it’s made of heat-treated S30V Stainless Steel — which means it should be sturdy enough to make it through a few family camping trips. The tool is available for pre-order now, with shipments heading out sometime in December, and for $49 it could be all yours.

digg_url = ‘http://digg.com/tech_news/Engadget_has_been_nominated_for_Blog_of_the_Decade’; Hey gang. Normally we’re not very concerned with prizes or accolades; just getting to play with the latest and greatest gadgets is reward enough for us… though we’re a little excited about this one. Adweek has just announced its “Best of the 2000s” awards, and Engadget is up for “Blog of the Decade”! We’ve got some pretty amazing — and fierce — competition over there, but you guys can help decide who takes the prize by voting for your favorite (us, right?). If you like, you can hit the read link and cast your vote for Engadget. That would be super cool of you. If you’re not into the awards thing, that’s okay too; we promise not to come to your house and force you to vote for us under threat of physical harm. That would be crazy. Just crazy enough to work.
