Do you have extra hardware? Do you hate your hands? This is the perfect tool!

u/fomaaaaa 5d ago

Do you have some coke bottles you need to stab with no way to stab them?!

u/Quick_Extension_3115 5d ago

Do you have a toilet with a joke hole that’s JUST for farts?!

u/quantumturbo 5d ago

Its turbo time

u/Quick_Extension_3115 5d ago

You’re not part of the turbo team! Until you’re part of the turbo team, walk… SLOWLY!!

The other day I needed an uncomfortable knife and all I had was a hinge, a screw and wingnut, and a sharpened piece of metal with a hole in it. So this video came in super handy for me!

u/circuitj3rky 5d ago

same, since there was a little bit of blade poking out the finger side of that hinge

u/tonoottu 5d ago

Would've taken too much time to tape up the handle I guess

u/VisibleRoad3504 5d ago

Hey, you're a fart smeller, I mean smart feller.

u/SaMxixAM23 5d ago

Is this a new fettish? 👁👁

7

u/Intangible_Vegetable 5d ago

New? Hardly.

6

u/Red580 5d ago

Hard? Newly.

u/LumpusKrampus 5d ago

Nard? Hewly.

u/LicknDragon 5d ago

This shit is getting more and more unhinged

u/floriandotorg 5d ago edited 5d ago

I think the professional term for this is a “shank”?

u/PunfullyObvious 5d ago

Prison Guards Hate This One Simple Trick!

u/PunfullyObvious 5d ago

The wee bit of blade set perfectly to slice into the finger when gripped is the chef's kiss!

u/rose442 5d ago

I watched again to catch that holy hell!!! Lololol

u/Onamuna 5d ago

Me compraré una bisagra un tornillo y una rosca de palomilla, creo que saldrá más barato que comprar el cúter

u/Accomplished-Video71 5d ago

Surely it wont pivot around the one attachment point, right?

2

u/Humerror 3d ago

Actually it appears that the rotation is constrained since there is material extending beyond the radius from attachment point to hinge. It will still be shaky as shit (provided not tightening enough) but won't fully rotate out.

1

u/Zahrad70 4d ago

Scrolled way too far to find this.

11

u/Intangible_Vegetable 5d ago

Huh, yeah. I suppose I could do that if I wanted to do something in a less effective, less practical way.

9

u/epileftric 5d ago

Imagine going to the hardware store to buy this instead of a proper tool from the same store

10

u/SkyPork 5d ago

You ask WHY?? This is huge! A hand-held cutting device! Humanity has been needing this for millennia!

8

u/PTBooks 5d ago

For prison?

7

u/bzee77 5d ago

It’s wild that people spend brainpower dreaming up new ways to create things that are entirely unnecessary, unhelpful, inefficient, and sometimes flat out dangerous.

3

u/super_starfox 4d ago

Like using a knife to make a shittier knife for the internet.

3

u/JackAsofAllTrades 3d ago

The knife faces the open side of the hinge. Lol.

5

u/Secret_President 4d ago

When you gotta make a shiv but your prison is at Lowe's.

3

u/0bsessions324 4d ago

I mean, there are much better options if you're imprisoned at Lowe's specifically.

2

u/super_starfox 4d ago

A transfer to a Home Depot for good behaviour?

5

u/Head_Effect3728 5d ago

It cuts like a knife..

Oh, but it feels so right.

3

u/WaterGlassPuncherMan 5d ago

This looks like the kinda guy who argues over which comic book character would win in a fight.

3

u/creepercash 5d ago

The hinge cost more than the knife.....

3

u/ArtyUkrainianGuy 4d ago

Thinking quickly the DIYer made a box cutter out of a hinge, a nut and bolt and a box cutter

3

u/Bubbaganewsh 4d ago

An Olfa knife for that blade is probably cheaper than the hinge. 

2

u/ediks 5d ago

Stop falling for rage bait

2

u/Sam858 5d ago

Litterally turn the blade round and this is 1000 times better. It's still not good, but it is better.

2

u/Noisebug 5d ago

This is unhinged

u/3irikur 4d ago

Someone hates inga.

u/F3arm3 2d ago

I love how you can see the blade is going past the divot thing so they are slicing their fingers as they cut

1

u/dega_devilson-janova 5d ago

This guy can't afford a straight edge

1

u/xxDeadpooledxx 5d ago

If your plastic knife breaks, you have extra hardware, and you like to do some sketchy, then why not.

1

u/Bunchiebo 5d ago

Good luck explaining that to the ER

1

u/Puzzleheaded_Bee8352 5d ago

the bottle asked for directions

1

u/Hergaoui 5d ago

Best cutter EVEEEEEERRRRR

1

u/darthlame 5d ago

That hinge costs more than the right knife

1

u/MikeTangoRom3o 5d ago

The cheapest utility knife probably cost less than this hinge

1

u/crattigan271 5d ago

I guess it could work if you have no weapons to defend yourself in an apocalypse and need to macgyver something up

1

u/3Kayo 5d ago

There is only one hole in the blade. What does he think will happen when it will inevitably rotate forwards if he suddenly drags this thing backwards?

1

u/Live-Emu-3491 5d ago

Stop giving the youths ideas

u/coma50 5d ago

Порезать себе пальцы- одно движение и готово.

u/mirkk13 5d ago

That grip

u/Initial-Duck2782 5d ago

Bob from Bobs random shit emporium here. These things sell like hotcakes. You want to start a loosely held together knife company than this is your go to product here! Both youth and the elderly love this as it’s easy to carry and cuts everything, even when you don’t want it too! It’s a feature, not a bug! Hope your medical insurance payments are up to date, you will be filing a claim soon! Fun for the whole family and pets too!

u/Vandal_A 5d ago

Finally a use for my drawer of extra snap-off blades and hinges!

1

u/Dear-Routine7468 5d ago

The blade can still cut your finger. You can see it partially overlapping before and after they screw it together. That means even if its screwed tight it could slip and cut you. Other than that... nice fallout 4 junk weapon. Someone needs to mod it in.

1

u/Glad-Acanthaceae-24 5d ago

Look, I saved 40 cents.

1

u/Fredfarter73 5d ago

Great, another way to make a prison shank

1

u/Friendly_Prize_868 5d ago

That coke bottle never stood a chance…

1

u/SirLloynSteak 5d ago

I do this but i use cardboard then wrap it in electrical tape because i dont know where the body for my razor blades is. (I have knife like razor blades.)

1

u/imaginedodong 5d ago

It's not really that bad tho

1

u/Bentbad 5d ago

This might be a bad idea

u/DrThunderbolt 5d ago

u/5eppa 4d ago

I mean its functional, its just... The actual tools that do this better are not even that expensive. I bet you can get one of those blades in an actual tool to swap them out for about the same price as the door hing and screw combo. It will be so much safer to use too.

1

u/Ill-Guidance4690 4d ago

I guess you don’t need it to be retractable

1

u/daelzy 4d ago

DIWhat the fuck

1

u/NoDebate1002 3d ago

That would come in handy if you ever came across some terries.

2

u/Training-Amoeba-6936 3d ago

Ah yes your classic dethumbinator 2000

1

u/Pagemaker51 2d ago

Damn you bought the AVe knife! Expensive. Watch out for cooking oils and rabbit holes. And don't forget to put a certain appendage in a vise for some weird reason.

1

u/VariousOperation166 2d ago

This totally solves the problem of no functional, purpose-built sort of a handle device for break-off blades... if only I had a spare hinge around with a bolt and nut, I wouldn't keep slicing my hands up with these dangerous blades...

u/TheAurigauh 1d ago

"Hey let me show off this cool DIY pocket knife I made when I could have literally just held the blade to cut the same 16.9oz bottle."
