It is a very nice tool for its price (un-like other overly-priced OPMT out there).
Yea, I know, this is a two piece tool.

My key set with integrated DoohicKey, which now has light, blade, screw drivers, carabiner, scraper, pry bar, ruler & wrench (questionable) functions, and it is easy to attach to belt loop, stay secure, low profile and quiet.

This little tool has been great.

its replaced almost all my keychain tools.

I kinda wish it was a bit thicker but it would also add weight.

I haven't bent it yet so it must be thick enough  :tu:

its a great little box ripper , lottery ticket scratcher, tire thread cleaner depth checker, flat screwdriver, bottle opener, carabineer, pry tool.


what its not
its
not a great 1/4 bit holder, not the best wrench, not a Phillips driver but you can turn one of you have too, I also think I could bend or break it if I tried.


overall all

it kicks ass.

it weigh's nothing, carries great and costs much less than similar keychain tools

I'd buy one just like it again if I needed to replace it.

This little tool has been great.

  It's an excellent value for about $6.  I used the DoohicKey as a micro pry tool and as an impromtu finger nail cleaner.

Don't remind me.

I've been doing my best not to remember that it's made in China.

I like everything about it but that.

if I replace it with a different tool it will be for mostly that reason.

My local Hess is selling these for $3.99. The price is right but when I noticed them I already checked out. Might go back tomorrow. Made in China did turn me off when I handled it though.  :-\

Yes, that Hess!

They had a shelf of Nite Ize products. The S-Biner, some keychain clips and other stuff. When I was walking out, I glanced over and saw the DoohicKey and recognized it's shape. Sure enough, there it was.

If there hadn't have been a long line and I was already checked out, I'd have picked it up but I was in a hurry. If I make it back to that neck of the woods today, I'll stop by.

$3.99 is nothing to complain about.

There are 3 Hess Stations in my neck of the woods(1-Depford, 1-Pennsauken, 1-Mount Holly).  I'll eyeball them.
3 stations should better my odds :whistle:

Sadly, my searching was no joy :rant:
Pennsauken Hess-is now a BP station
Depford Hess- boarded up closed
Mount Holly Hess- no Nite-ize products at all.  And to add insult to injury, They were also out of Diet Mountain Dew :ahhh

My much better half bought me one as an add on so she could get free shipping. Nice gadget.  I have a large number of their Sbiners I picked up at Home Depot a few years ago when they closed them out for almost nothing.

I was able to get a Doohikey from one of the members here, and I thank you!!!:salute: (I won't mention their name so as not to put them on the spot)

Quality, for it's price, is fantasic!! And should handle its intended uses quite nicely :tu:
There are only 2 negatives:
1- It's made in China,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,nuff said :whistle:
2- The carabiner clip spring, is a wee bit small for my big thumbs to operate.  Plus, that same spring is stiffer to open than the clip springs on ther Niteize products I own/use.

Other than that.  For its price, it is a quality that will pay for itself many times over.  And that won't be hard to do!! :tu: :tu:

Can anyone report on the wrench function. I know it's small so leverage will be limited, but is it half way decent?  Better yet, can anyone compare it to the wrench on some the Leatherman By the Number tools (not the Piranha, who's bigger size puts it in a different league).
