Is this a new Swiss Army Knife tool?

The big space tidy-up has finally begun! The Swiss have put a cleaning tool into orbit to grab old non-functional satellites and push them into orbit to burn up. Watch this video for details.

So how do we get them to make more of these?

Everyone who puts stuff up into orbit should have one. It should be one of the essential Swiss Army Knife tools that space focussed countries should have. It would go really well with the cork-screw and scissors. Something you won't miss until you really miss it, so you should have one with you at all times.
