the stupid product isn't as stupid as the fact that people will definitely buy it

    I'm not really a jewelry-wearer, and certainly not an expensive jewelry wearer

    That said, I think it's kind of fun. If I were the kind of person to wear jewelry, I might consider this. I'm a pretty hands-on, DIYer type of guy, I find myself fucking around with hose clamps pretty often, and hell, I might even say I have a bit of affection for them, I've solved a lot of problems with them.

    That price seems steep to me, but I feel that way about most jewelry. I don't know what material it's made out of or how big it is, maybe that's a fair price for how much silver or whatever is in it, maybe it's horribly inflated.

    While we're at it, then, let me point out that cynical Chinese knockoffs of the Leatherman Tread bracelet are totally things that exist and nowadays are readily available for suspiciously small amounts of money.

    I've got one. I had to remove one link from it to keep it from falling off of me all the time, but it is indeed boss. I would not advise getting into a motorcycle wreck while wearing it, though.

    The customer is always right.

    If people buy the thing, then it wasn't stupid to make or sell.
