No judgement from me-- Doesn't bother me at all. But you can't post a photo of a metal finger and not expect it to leave some people scratching their heads wanting to know what it is for-- whatever it may be.
If he is going to put the photo of it, he should put the description too. Not sure if the concern is the legality of it or whatever, but the photo itself is more damning than a simple description. And in which case, if that is the concern, he shouldn't put photos on the internet for the world to see anyhow.
Also, I never figured out what 270ultimate's deal is... Now he is "testing" me, lol (literally wrote "test" on my profile instead of acknowledging this discussion).
I agree with ya completely. The lack of description has indeed created more attention to the items. . As far as the "test" is concerned, maybe he wants to see if you can search the net for hours to find the info? Lol idk? Maybe he will chime in again and tell everyone what he knows.
I literally wrote "test" on your profile instead of acknowledging this discussion to see if you would respond to it since this site doesn't offer the means to DM anyone. I figured you seemed about as curious about some of these items as I was, just maybe not as good of an internet sleuth or not that worried about them. I thought it might be a smidge more apropos to throw it somewhere besides a post that's up to 21 comments and counting. I apologize for that.
The Run Your Pockets keychains I'm seeing consist of 3 or 4 tools and a flight tag. Tools are as follows: A bottle opener, a cylindrical tool that resembles a small pen, sometimes a magnet of sorts, and the aforementioned hook.
The cylinder is an etching pen. It's commonly used to graffiti mirrors, glass, and such in public places (a practice also called "scratchiti"). I notice several posts containing the other items feature permanent markers and paint pens.
Some versions of the magnet appear to double as a knuckle duster. It would seem the magnet is sometimes used in conjunction with the hook.
So finally, we come to the hook... Google EAS hook or effetool.
Frankly, I had more trouble figuring out what the damn fingers are, but finally found that.
I googled this, as I have no clue either. The only thing I could find is that "run your pockets" is used when someone is announcing their intent to rob you. The full expression is "run or give me whatever is in your pockets" then it just became, "run your pockets"-- according to Urban Dictionary. No idea what this tool is for, or why 270ultimate is being so cryptic though.
