CR-9075 CRKT Li'l Guppie
Yes, Inspired Design works.™
Introducing the Guppie™ and Li’l Guppie™—
Two cute little carabiner-carry work tools.
New for 2008 is the patented* Li’l Guppie™. It is smaller and cuter than the full-size Guppie, but suprisingly, it is just as hard-working.
Designers Launce Barber and Tom Stokes took on the challenge of reducing the Guppie shape to its smallest possible useful size.
In this minimal design, they have still managed to pack functions that include an adjustable wrench, knife, flat and Phillips screwdriver blades, bottle opener, carry carabiner and pocket/money clip.
The Li’l Guppie handle is only 3.0” long and weight is just 1.9 ounces. The jaws will handle a 10 mm nut or bolt when fully open. The Razor-Sharp blade is just 1.0” inch long, but is still handy for many pen-knife tasks.
Launce and Tom have neatly integrated the screwdriver functions. The flat screwdriver is the Li’l Guppie’s tail. The small Phillips tip is hidden at the bottom of the jaw adjustment ramp. Neither is designed for lengthy use, but for those light-duty and emergency tasks one encounters every day. The Li’l Guppie’s small “adipose fin” is really a powerful bottle and jar opener.
Because of its light weight and small size, the Li’l Guppie makes a perfect money clip, thanks to its removable stainless steel clip.
You have many carry options, including using the carry carabiner (non-weight-bearing) on belt loops, D-rings, or webbing. The clip is also handy for pocket or belt carry.
