With a bit of ingenuity, there is nothing that has only one use value. This why I sometimes use books to prop up a table, or a handy shoe to bang in a nail.
I do agree about the fetishism, thought. There are plenty of people who own objects out of some sort of emotional or status value beyond that object's utility.

So what? That doesn’t mean that they’re single-use items. Bows and arrows were originally designed to kill animals, but there are plenty of archers around today who’ve never done that. Tin openers were originally designed to (big surprise) open tins, but I’ve got one that makes a dandy fipple scraper.
Bel’s point was that the only USE for guns is to kill people, and that’s not true. And that is also ‘simply a fact’.
