    A ‘gerber’ style multi-tool that doesn’t have a blade attached.

    Why the blade? It’s of no practical use and classes the tool as an offensive weapon.

    Depends how good your wifi is.

    Ours is a sodding 3G dongle plugged into the router. And this is the midlands!

    A tool for getting the peanut butter (or whichever spread is of fancy) that is left in the bit of the jar just below the neck where the jar widends. The bit that is missed when a knife, or spoon, is used to extract the peanut butter.

    Or something to get the last bits of toothpaste out of the tube, at £40.00 a kilo, it’s a bit pricey.

    Yeah, but with the choice of 70Mbps 4G and 100Mbps wi-fi I’m not complaining. 😉

    I’m going to go with energy efficient Hydrogen refinement and cost/energy efficient interplanetary travel.

    For peanut butter etc use your finger. For the toothpaste, if you’re that tight then cut the tube open with scissors

    It’s not tight when it’s £40.00 per kilo! 😯 By weight it’s probably the most expensive item in the supermarket.
    Guests have complained about using fingers too. 😀

    My mobile data is way faster than my home broadband. Higher latency though.

    I nominate fusion power.

    Nope. Saffron. According to the internet about £7,500 per kg.

    You can get little mangle affairs that do that I think.

    Nope. Saffron.

    HP printer ink is probably a close second.

    A good sharp blade is one of the most useful tools to have, I use a pocket knife far more often than anything else on a multitool.
    And in answer to you question, such a thing is readily available, you’re just not looking hard enough.

    Efficient batteries for the home which you could charge from a wind turbine or solar panel/tiles then draw on at night/still days eliminating the need for a grid connection.
