The manufacturers behind the highly successful 'K-Smart Keychain' titanium multitool are clearly not content to rest on their laurels, as exemplified by the launch of a new and improved iteration of the multitool that is a full 3.5 grams lighter than the previous version.
The updated version of this titanium multitool retains the advantages of its predecessor in the fact that it continues to boast key tools such as a bottle opener prying bar and box cutter, not to mention the signature feature of a slot designed for a radioactive tritium vial. New features include a void specially designed for screwdriver bits that can be secured by means of the included magnets.
Currently the subject of a crowdfunding campaign over on Kickstarter, this impressively upgraded titanium multitool can be procured for a pledge of $55.
