 good to have but hard to use July 7, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I've had this attached to my key ring for a number of years. I don't need it often but when I have it's been useful as long as I am very careful while handling it. The knife is extremely sharp and because the key is pretty thin it can rotate easily in your fingers. It's not incredibly easy to close around a key ring with one hand, and does with a bit of a snap, so you need to make sure your fingers are well out of the way when you do. The Phillips screwdriver on the end of one of the tines is helpful for things like tightening eyeglasses, but it is slightly offset from the opposing blade and I've nicked or jabbed myself with it more than once while it's in my pocket. You're supposed to lock it at either 90 or 180 degrees when using it, but when you close it from 90 the keyring end easily grabs at your fingers. This isn't a product for kids, and only should be used with extreme care.
 Great Little Key Chain June 14, 2008
This is a great little item to have on my key chain. It is useful pretty much anytime I need a knife or scissors and does a good job of replacing larger swiss army knives or leatherman multi-tools that I had before. Besides all this it is just a cool item to be able to show your friends and surprise them with when it doesn't open a door, but does open their drink.
Perfect lightweight backup tool June 7, 2008
I carry this on my key chain, so I won't be totally unprepared if I elect to go out without one of my bulkier multitools. It is made of the finest hardened stainless steel. The small blade is perfect for opening packages, harvesting a handful of herbs from the garden, or cutting a hose for an unexpected automotive repair. At first glance, I didn't think I'd need the serrated wood saw, but I did find it useful to cut some cattails that I found growing along the roadside (I dry them and make mini torches by dipping them in a bit of citronella oil.) The Swiss Tech Uili Key Tool also makes a useful lobster/crab de-shelling implement for the smaller parts. I also found the Phillips head screwdriver is perfect for those electronic gadgets that require one to open or remove a battery access door that is screwed together. Another undocumented feature I found is that the serrated section mates with a depression on the opposite side where the bottle opener is located --if one needs to strip small gauge wire, this gap could be employed. All things considered, I'd say this is one great multi-tool for the few grams of weight. It also is virtually rust-proof, and can be washed in hot soapy water.
handy and easy to use in a pinch June 6, 2008
I like that this fits on my keychain and it looks like a key - it's not a tool that I would use around the house because it's not the easiest to hold but on the go it's a great idea. I've already needed to use the screwdriver and the knife part is handy to use for opening packages. I'm assuming you can also use this for protection - they say to hold your keys as a weapon and if needed, these would be THE keys to use!
Solid product June 5, 2008
This mini tools is pretty small, but packs a lot in that size. It works very well and can't be beat for convenience. The blade is razor sharp and I was a bit afraid it would open in my pocket, but with a fair amount of use it still stays closed without a hint of problems.
The vendor shipped quickly and I had no problems there either.
