The Ultimate Geeks Uber Shades V2

If you think your sunglasses score highly in the geeky stakes, think again as these Uber Shades are sure to leave your sunglasses well and truly in the shade.

Created by the German company Not-So-Bright Sunwear (a name that’s surely as bad as my former attempt at a pun) these Uber Shades are undoubtedly the Swiss Army Knife of protective eyewear as they contain a wealth of tools cunningly hidden within the frames.

Quite apart from offering 100% UV protection courtesy of their polarised lenses, these shades also boast a startling number of tools from nail files to combs, scissors to screwdrivers, spanners to cork-screws and make-up brushes. In fact these sunglasses can be fitted with up to an astounding 263 separate tools to the point at which you can venture out onto the streets safe in the knowledge that you have an entire hardware store balanced on your ears.

If you get these glasses, you’re an instant MacGuyver… until you sneeze and slice your ears off.

Is there a link to buy these glasses? I didn’t see one in the post

That comment had me in stitches!!

I cannot find a link to any page concerning the product, though I have tried (Google came up with nothing). I’ll keep looking though.

Even if you do sneeze and cut your ears off, I wouldn’t worry as I’m sure it has a DIY sewing kit somewhere in the frames so you can always stitch it back on.
