UPVOTED POCKET TOOLS

The daily DIYer

Victorinox Handyman

This Swiss appliance’s 25 functions should satisfy your fixing urges. A master of all trades, its stainless array features tools for everything from woodwork to patchwork. And when the day’s jobs are done, its nail cleaner and tweezers will come in handy for some DIY self-care.

DAILY DEVICES

The classy clip-on 

Gerber Straightlace

There's no substitute for a proper kitchen knife. But if someone demands a dicing demo and you've left your choppers at home, this natty number should do the trick. Sheathed in aluminium and equipped with a nifty pocket clip, its 2.9in stainless blade is perfect for picnic prep.

£30/gerber-store.co.uk

The wallet wizard 

True Utility Cardsmart

Bank cards might be helpful for hiring a handyman, but the plastic itself isn't much use for menial tasks - so upskill your wallet with this slender accessory. Barely there at just 40g, the titanium-coated tool is slim enough to slip between cards, yet offers the utility of some 30 functions.

£15/trueutility.com

The olivey opener 

Mercury 913 Olive Multi-Purpose

Thirsty? Made in Italy with an olivewood handle, this 3-in-1 tool has a stainless blade that will make light work of packing tape and wine foil alike, while the corkscrew and can-opener will get you into any beverage. The latter also serves as a screwdriver, in case you need to prise open a cask.

Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess - It's really not what you expect from a major publisher these days, but Capcom's curious blend of action, real-time strategy and tower defence is one of the most original games you'll play all year

It's really not what you expect from a major publisher these days, but Capcom's curious blend of action, real-time strategy and tower defence is one of the most original games you'll play all year.From its colourful costumes to a pastoral message of healing nature, Kunitsu-Gami is proudly Japanese in its inspirations. Your masked warrior is on a mission to help a divine maiden purge a mountain of an evil 'defilement'... but this is no Link/Zelda dynamic: you'll also rely on villagers to help you beat back monsters.

Scott Contessa Voltage eRide 910

This is an electric trail bike designed with women in mind – not that you’d know that just by looking at it, because thankfully Scott hasn’t adopted the insulting ‘shrink it and pink it’ approach that many brands take.
