The Pathfinder+ multitool is an all-in-one everyday carry (EDC) keychain accessory for DIYers, explorers and makers alike that will provide them with a way to keep essential tools on hand at all times. The tool comes in the Titanium Edition and Brass Edition styles that come in at 12.5-grams and 23-grams respectively, and are both equipped with a knife, screwdriver, nails file, ruler, pry bar, bottle opener and more. The locking mechanism for the surgical blade will provide users with total control over how much is exposed when in use, while also securing it away when stored.
The Pathfinder+ multitool has been developed by Ant Design and measures in at about the same size as a house key to maximize where it can be stored.
