Macro Mondays – topic for Monday 16.03.2020: "twisted"

As a swiss citizen I probably had the moral duty to choose a swiss pocketknife as subject for this task. ;-)
In the macro you can see the corkscrew with a mini screwdriver that can be used for glasses, watches, cell phones for instance.
It's a pocketknife Victorinox "Altimeter" with altimeter, temperature display and 14 more features (large blade, small blade, corkscrew, can opener, screwdriver 3mm, cap lifter, screwdriver 6mm, wire stripper, reamer, scissors, multi-purpose hook, sewing eye, tooth pick, mini screwdriver).

► PiP 1: another view.
► PiP 2: the whole pocketknife (Victorinox "Altimeter")
► PiP 3: the Victorinox "Altimeter" in action. On the Thorong La Pass in Nepal.

Ist und Bleibt ein sehr geniales Tool!

polytropos club has replied to Aschi "Freestone" club
Aschi, ja, das ist so!
Wobei der Höhenmesser ist auf dem Handy inzwischen genauer. Beim Victorinox arbeitet das Tool mit dem Luftdruck, und es muss jeden Tag neu geeicht werden.

Der Minischraubendreher ist wirklich interessant, und dass er auch noch vorhanden ist!
4 years ago.
polytropos club has replied to Falk Preusche club
Falk, ja, das ist sehr raffiniert gemacht! Leider kann man es nicht sehen, aber wenn der Minischraubenzieher (wie hier im Makro) auf dem Flaschenöffner steckt und dieser zurückgeklappt wird, steckt alles in einer kleinen Mulde, so dass der kleine Schraubenzieher nicht mehr herausfallen kann.

Ernst, vielen Dank!
Aber den Begriff musst du mir noch erläutern! :-)

Ernst Doro club has replied to polytropos club
Plattdeutsch
Proppen = Korken
trecken = ziehen

polytropos club has replied to Ernst Doro club
Ernst, ah, verstehe! 'Proppen' kenne ich nur von 'Wonneproppen'. :-)
Danke!

Klasse Detail! Das bewährte Victorinox ist schon was Feines, auch wenn du auf dem Foto den Höhenmesser nicht aktiviert hast;-)

Gudrun, vielen Dank!
Ich glaube, die Knopfbatterie ist hinüber. :) Ehrlich gesagt, brauche ich ihn auch nicht mehr so oft, jetzt wo man am Handy natürlich alles viel genauer haben kann. :-)
