Multifunctional Tool Cards

The 'Minimal' Tool Card Puts an Entire Toolbox In Your Pocket

— October 26, 2015 — Lifestyle
The 'Minimal Tool Card' is a beautifully designed piece of stainless steel that can sit in your wallet for easy and permanent access to help you cope with life's everyday tasks.

The simple design seemingly feels great as it looks, and is ideal for people who want an inexpensive but useful tool that fits in their pocket, and one that gets the job done. Weighing in at 1.44 ounces and coming in at only 1.72mm thick, the Minimal Tool Card is no bigger than a credit card, yet provides a screwdriver, a saw, a bottle opener, a pry bar, a protractor and compass, and even a stand for your smartphone or tablet.

If the Kickstarter campaign delivers, which it surely will, the Minimal Tool Card will retail for only $10.
