Gerber 22-01769 Shard Keychain Tool Model: 22-01769 Home&Work Tools

Don’t know whether I’ll ever bring it yo use but right now it is on my car keychain and looks cool.

Good Quality product

Nice and multifunctional key chain ...thanks gerber

Product is very good. However in India, airports may not allow this to pass as keychain. Mine was taken away and wasn't allowed in the handbag. So if you buy it leave it at home during air travels in India.

Always passes airport security, easy to carry and has come useful a few times.

I expected this to be handy, it's more useful than I thought it would be. I've only had it 4 days but I've already used it to work Philips head screws (including accessing a loose indicator bulb on my car while in the middle of nowhere), tighten a loose mic holder mid-gig, open a couple of beers and pry some short nails. I'm a musician and recording engineer, both jobs involve me hauling a lot of gear around, and working to tight time margins. Having this in my pocket has already saved me a couple of trips to my car for a proper screwdriver, and a couple of trips from the couch to the kitchen for a proper bottle opener (there's a Rugby World Cup on, dontcha know). I'm not a tradesman. I'm not drilling into walls, cutting sheet metal or sawing through 2x4s while on a gig. I just need small, capable tools that'll do the job well enough, without adding much weight or bulk to the pile of gear I'm already hauling around. Between this and the Leatherman Surge that lives in my cable bag (the Surge is too big and heavy to keep in a pocket), I've got pretty much all the hand tools I find myself needing while out and about. Obviously, neither are replacements for the full size hand tools they share functions with. However, the Shard is excellent to have on a key chain for those simple little jobs when you don't have your tool box at hand. When I'm doing something that requires real tools, I use real tools. I'd assumed the Philips driver would be pokey in the pocket, but I've not noticed this thing on my keychain at all (my keychain also has a car key, some house keys, a drum key and a small pill box containing ear plugs, all hanging off a locking carabiner for quick removal). I was deciding between this and the Leatherman Brewzer. I'm very pleased I went with the Gerber Shard, it costs less and seems to do more. It's smaller than it looks from the photos online, but it's well designed and fits surprisingly well in my XL hands. I'll probably buy a few more of these to give as presents. Pros: Useful Philips/flat head drivers (these are the winners for me so far) Useful mini pry bar Decent bottle opener (Better than the cheapo aluminium one it replaced) Solid build quality. I don't expect this to fail, ever (it'll take a lot of abuse before the steel is stripped off the Philips driver) Disappears onto your keychain until you need it Comfortable to use, plus the shape of the body lends a surprising amount of torque to the Philips driver Cons: £6+ is a lot for 5p worth of steel The flat-head drivers are too thick for glasses screws (not an issue for me, but it might be for you) Because of the pry bend, it doesn't sit well in pockets on its own

buen producto

In kurzen Worten. Klein, Satbil, massiv, praktisch, unverwüstlich, enorm widerstandsfähig. Immer wieder nützlich. Daumen hoch. Ich bereu den Kauf nicht.

Excellent and handy little pry bar multi tool I immediately put this tool to work the day I received it, I wish I had purchased 2 of them 1 for work to get messed up with oils and one for my personal keys for around the house and yard, the finish may wear quick which is expected when its dangling around on your EDC key chain set up but over all very thick and tough also small size leaves a small foot print on your key chain and bends in well with your key chain gear... If you think you have a lot of gear on your EDC key chain but would really benefit from having a small pry tool this will not add much noticeable weight and won't take up much noticeable space on your in progress or already accumulated EDC key chain! Very happy with it very useful, I love it! I will post more info at a later time in the future when I use more features on it and I will report how it holds up and wears! Just a side note this item arrived with in a few days of ordering and shipped over the weekend very impressed with its arrival time!
