Homemade bike-lock key multitool with file edge.

[sotto]

I found an old bike-lock key of mine and decided I would brainstorm a little and see if I could create a bottom-dollar cheap but effective keychain multitool. Recently on this Forum, I also suggested that a file-edge would be a good for manufacturers to add to their keychain tools, so I took my own advice and gave it a try (see pic below).

My keytool has both Phillips and slot-head screwdrivers at the corners, a hex bit driver, a box-cutter edge (the Phillips head corner), bottle opener (IQ test opportunity), and the file edge. Oh, and it also functions, of course, as a bike-lock key. Maybe at 3 a.m. (my prime thinking time) I'll come up with something else to add

Anyway, here's the tool:

Thanks, anyone care to speculate on the technique for bottle opening?

Very nice how it works as a bit driver too. I would put the tool under the cap and use a finger or thumb for leverage

It's a little short for that, but it works well either of these two ways:

You just need a little skill
