I thought this to be a pretty cool product, but I'm newer and unaware if something like this already exists.
Thoughts?

Sweet. Looks heavy though. I can think of several instances where it would be handy!

Interesting, definitely a handy device. Based on the design and the fact it's from Italy, it'll probably cost an arm and a leg though. :l
