References: kickstarter
KeyMaster 3.0 is a Grade 5 titanium key-shaped multitool produced by EDC Monster, measuring 74.5 millimeters in length, 35 millimeters in width, and 4 millimeters at its thickest point, with a weight of 53.7 grams. The tool is the third generation of the KeyMaster line, following a 14-function original in 2023 and an 18-function second version.
The 3.0 introduces three upgraded systems: an adjustable spanner with a 0 to 16mm range, a magnetic bit driver with onboard storage for two 4mm standard bits, and a blade holder accepting standard number 11 replaceable blades. Additional functions include a pry bar, Phillips and flathead drivers, bottle opener, nail file, nail puller, mini ruler, mini saw, wire bender, spoke wrench, and firestarter edge.
The KeyMaster 3.0 body is constructed from two precision-machined plates with a matte sandblasted finish. The second plate doubles as a grip handle when the adjustable spanner is deployed. A 6mm keyring hole at the base accommodates split rings, carabiners, and paracord lanyards.
