Key sized multitool
on: November 18, 2013, 03:31:05 PM
Hi, I'm looking to reduce the footprint of my key chain and really want to purchase one of the kickstarter popular Swiss Army knife style key holders like the http://mykeysmart.com/. To go along with this I really want a multitool style inset to put in it. Obvious contender for this is the utilikey but I don't want to just plump for the obvious. On top of this it looks a bit flimsy and not sure the way you attach it to your keychain will work well with that system. I just wondered if there was any other products on the market that would work. Admittedly my main use for this would be bottle opener but I'd like some other functionality on top of that that may come in useful.

Any help appreciated.

Cheers

Welcome to the forum. There are lots of better ways to get those sides and good tools into that format. Just google for "bicycle tool" and you'll find lots of ideas. Wrenches, bottle openers, screwdrivers, ...

Also, if you find the time, drop by our New members forum and tell us a bit about yourself so we can give you a proper MTO welcome. :salute:

I think a Utilikey probably would work, if you like I can check tomorrow as my boss has a broken one on his desk that he still hasn't got round to replacing  :facepalm: They're decent for what they are but they certainly aren't heavy duty. The little arm that goes over the top broke on both mine and his.

What sort of functions are you after? The problem is something like a Shard won't fit because it's curved. A Piranha would be too long even if you put a blaank in the opposite side. A Brewzer would probably fit but that doesn't really gain you anything over the Utilikey apart from prying.

The one that comes to my mind is the Keyport
