Think TV's MacGuyver or the Professor from Gilligan's Island.
As written, it sounds a little like a Gizmo to me. How about adding this, to power it down a little?

"In game terms, this allows the character to have Improvised Equipment for a skill use (at the usual -5 penalty to skill) at all times, even when there's no obvious tools around. The player should be creative in describing the 'gear' he's improvising! This Perk cannot be used to create Basic Equipment or better; for the good stuff, use a Gizmo."
