Having tools on-hand is ideal for any DIY project or fixing that happens to pop up and the Pocket Tool Keychain wrench tool is an ideal accessory to always have on one's person. The keychain features a circular disk interpretation of a wrench that offers the same functionality as the traditional model, in a much more compact and portable shape.

The Pocket Tool Keychain wrench is a reinterpretation of the classic tool by transforming the handlebar device into a circle. The tool is a rounded piece of [solid bronze](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/titaner) that has been cut and hollowed out to feature a triangular shape with embedded grooves. The groove teeth increase in spacing and secure onto a various sized bolts. Rather than screwing around a handle, consumers can turn the [round keychain](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quickrelease-edc-carry-system) to loosen or tighten bolts.
