Whether you’re looking for functional alternatives to larger tools or don’t want to be caught without one and are looking for a capable backup, these items are tried-and-tested everyday carry classics. Can be attached to any keys using the bottle shaped loop hole and is compliant with current TSA regulations for carry on items when traveling. NUNQUAM NON PARATUS · April 24, 2019 If you are the parent of a young child, I strongly recommend you consider carrying the Victorinox Manager. The FIXR is only about 3” long, but its clever design holds 20 different tools, including a bottle opener, eyewear screwdriver, a wire stripper, and a sharp edge for easily opening packages. As to the other eight tools, if pocket carried, fluff and general crud can build up under externally positioned tools more easily than with the Micra, however I have never found this an issue.
Kershaw is best known for the excellent value you get from their unique, high-performance knives, but the PT-2 is an impressive multi-tool offering that nails the basics. Besides the typical tools you’d expect, like a bottle opener and prybar, the Viva also puts multiple wrench sizes and a screwdriver in your pocket. Having purchased one out of curiosity, it subsequently got me out of a fix on many an occasion, but only at work, it was never taken with me when hiking as it was simply too large and heavy. One of the best there is outside an SAK, and occasional use for wrenching as it has enough length to actually get some good torque. Part of putting together your everyday carry is knowing what tools you’ll need on an average day, but it’s hard to be prepared for everything.Despite owning one I am not a great fan of it and any of the remaining eight keychain tools would make a better choice for taking on trail. I have used these for trimming nails and skin, cutting plasters, bandages and gauze, opening packages, Mountain House and a myriad of other tasks.
Two types of pliers can be found on the Leatherman range of keychain sized multi-tools- these are the needlenose pliers on the E4 and later ES4.
Like the original, you get several useful tools on your keychain, like a bottle opener, mini pry bar, and universal wrenches.
