The Stoner's Swiss Army Knife

Evening fellow blades, just thought I'd do a quick writeup on one of my favorite stoner utilities: the pipe tool.

Er, hold on a tick... *bubble bubble* Right then! Where were we? Oh yes, the pipe tool.


Made in Czech Republic


Three tools, many uses

Let's go from left to right, shall we? First on the lineup is the scraper: a small spoon with tapered edges. This bad boy is useful for bowl maintenence primarily. It very effectively scrapes resin into a ball in when you find yourself in times of drought and can also easily dig out those pesky glass screens when they clog the bowl so you don't get gunk under your fingernails. It's elongated spoon shape allows you to conform a metal screen so tight to the bowl that it will stay in without resin. Also very effective at scraping metal screens clear when they become clogged, thus increasing the lifespan of the screen.

Next is the poker. This little guy is great for all sorts of things. When rolling joints I use it to make sure the ends are packed well, or when a joint is not burning evenly/hitting well because it's overpacked you can jam it through the mouth end about half way up the spliff. This will make it hit like a champ and even out the burn due to the increased airflow. For those of you with a penchant for homemade pieces out there it comes in especially handy. Apples, potatoes, oranges, tomatoes... you name in, this can turn it into a pipe. I don't recommend the tomato, though; that was very messy. This end can also be used to pierce a hole through a cap for you gravity bong and waterfall users out there.

Last but certainly not least, the tamper. Use this tool whenever you want to pack a fat bowl. My bubbler holds about .25g of loosely ground up weed for a full bowl. Should I utilize this to pack the bowl tight I can stuff .4 in there. Very useful for when there are many heads in rotation. Warn the partakers to barely flick the lighter, though, especially for dank! Since the bowl is packed so tightly it will cherry like a motherfucker, giving such a big hit as to bring tears to what fool whosoever torches the bowl. Also very useful for giving blunts an even packing to ensure an enjoyable even smoking.

This tiny powerhouse of a tool has proven itself near essential to have. It makes so many of those constant smoker annoyances a breeze to deal with. Hell, with a little rearranging we have ourselves...


Hit it 'til it's gone!

a nice roachclip! The long handle makes it especially easy to pass around in a moving vehicle. Personally, I carry mine on a detachable valet keychain for constant access and easy use:


Always by my side

"Oh, but where can I get one of these fabulous devices mister hashaman," you cry. Go hit up your local tobacconist, or nearly anyplace that sells cigars and pipe tobacco. Most big towns should have one or two. You'll probably find them displayed near the register. They're about $2 USD and last for-fucking-ever. Great gifts for your other stoner friends. Well, that concludes this stoned writeup. Just wanted to get the word out to my fellow blades about The Stoner's Swiss Army Knife.
