Miniature Multi-Tools

The Swiss Tech MMCSSS Micro-Max is Everything You Need on a Keychain

— May 31, 2011 — Fashion
Pocket tool designer Swiss Tech has designed a miniature multi-tool device that is both very useful and easy to carry around.

The Swiss Tech MMCSSS Micro-Max is a 19-in-1 miniature multi-tool set that fits on your keychain. Most people know the benefits of having a Swiss Army-inspired tool to carry around, considering its everyday functionality, but the thought of having a knife in one's pocket may be bothersome to some individuals. This micro version of the Swiss Army knife measures in at only two inches and can fit directly on your key chain with the rest of your keys.

The Swiss Tech micro multi-tool only costs about $15.00, making it a cost-efficient piece that will surely garner plenty of attention and use.
