Just when you thought it was safe to open your toolbox, the Shark hand tool by Rapid Tools, is introduced as the first product to combine a utility knife and wire-stripper, the maker says. Housed together in a rugged, ergonomic case, the Shark is similar in size to most standard utility knives and uses Rapid Edge serrated blades. A Pliers-like grip for the wire stripper locks into the body of the knife while not in use. It is spring-loaded for easy opening and comfortable cutting action, with five holes for stripping 10- to 18-gauge wire. 905.336.0553. www.rapidtools.net.
