 Utility key to my heart. October 3, 2008
David J. Seglem (Duluth, MN)
Honestly, nothing else can beat this product's utility in such a small space. I'll review the components separately.
The micro eyeglass screwdriver: This only fits the screw on the hinge of the edge of all of my glasses. Its not the smallest screwdriver possible. What it does fit, it fits perfectly.
Flat screwdriver: It's pretty standard.
Bottle opener: This one is tricky. The guide you receive with he product tells you to open the key to a 45 degree angle. I prefer to open it all the way, so that my hand has enough space on the key for a better grip. The opener tends to puncture the bottle cap because of its small design. It takes a longer time to use this than using a spoon to open the bottle, even more so because of that fact that you have to have it opened.
Philips screwdriver: Not too shabby.
Serrated knife blade: sharp and has the possibility to stay sharp. It looks easy to sharpen.
Straight edge knife blade: Decently sharp for a backup. not too big, but that it what you get.
In short, not perfect, but it could be a lifesaver, so it gets extra points for fitting everything into such a small design.
Great Tool October 1, 2008
Jonathan L. Monnich
I purchased this product because I travel by air throughout the State. There have been times that I needed a specific tool, such as a knife, on the job and didn't have one because it is against the rules to carry a knife on board an airplane. Since this tool resembles a key, it usually passes through airport security.
Must have! September 1, 2008

Great product. Goes through all airports screens on my key chain. Very, very usefull for simple stuff. I have put it on all my key chains.
 Great idea, but impractical due to poor design August 12, 2008

A good selection of tools in theory, but in practice not very useful. None of the tools can be used without first opening the Utilikey and removing it from your keychain. Opening it requires both hands, and isn't easy even so (actually, it's near impossible if you've recently cut your nails). The bottle opener is particularly frustrating: To use it, you have to put down the bottle, use both hands to open the Utilikey, put down your keys (if they didn't already fall to the floor when the Utilikey popped open), pick up the bottle, then carefully avoid slicing your finger open with the cutting blade (which is situated with the sharp edge facing the only place you can hold the thing) while opening the bottle. But you're not done yet, you still have to put down the bottle, pick up your keys, reattach the Utilikey, and pick up the bottle again. A little more complicated than one might hope opening a bottle with a handy pocket tool would be, no? That said, the small size does make it possible to use the screwdrivers in tight spaces that might otherwise be inaccessible, but you're still highly likely to cut yourself on the blade in the process. I give it two stars rather than one because it really is a great idea in theory, despite the drawbacks with this particular implementation. Hopefully a redesigned version down the line will turn out to be more useful.
Small, well-made but bad design July 28, 2008

This multi-tool has a couple of flaws that leaves it on my desk instead of on my key chain. One must open the blade to use any of the tools, which also releases it from the key chain. I would much prefer that it stay on my key chain. Also, to pull the blade open, one's fingers have to get right next to the sharp blade. The risk of cutting oneself is probably very low, but it doesn't feel right. Bad feng shui or something.
