This 46-in-1 multitool can fit in your wallet OR be your wallet

This multitool offers one function I haven’t yet seen another tool offer – it has a built-in money clip.  Like the title says, you can carry it in a wallet, or for a truly minimal wallet, it can clip your cash and cards to be your wallet.  This 46-in-1 Credit Card Multitool from CK Products is made of 3mm durable, water- and rust-resistant, heavy-duty 420 hardened heat-treated stainless steel for strength and durability.

The multi-tool has wrenches, wire cutter, ruler for both inches and millimeters, bottle opener, screwdriver, ¼” bit driver, letter opener, eyeglass screw driver, can opener, box cutter, protractor, spoke keys, butterfly wrench, cable bender, and more – and can even somehow function as a smartphone stand.  It’s even TSA compliant.

The CK Products 46-in-1 Credit Card Multitool is $10.00 at Amazon.

Oittm Apple Pencil Stand review


Lately, it seems that I have so much to do when I am at work, that I use several devices to accomplish my tasks. By the time I set up to get started, there are wires from power cords and devices running everywhere. What makes things easier for me, is having certain “tools’ at the ready and at my fingertips. I constantly use my Apple Pencil with my iPad Pro 12.9, and I was very happy when I got the chance to review this product.

What is it?

The Oittm Apple Pencil Stand is a weighted, nicely designed, wooden and metal charging stand for the Apple pencil.

What’s in the box


1 x Oittm Apple Pencil Stand
1 x Instruction Booklet
1 x Foreign language Leaflet

Design and features

The Oittm Apple Pencil Stand is an all-in-one stand and charger for the Apple Pencil. It is very sturdy and has a wooden base and what seems to be an aluminum top. On the top, there is the female lightning jack for charging the pencil and a holder for the pencil cap.

Underneath, there is a wooden base, and a rubber pad to prevent slipping.


On the front of the stand, there is a small LED on the lower half that indicates the charging/power status.


On the back of the stand, there is a lightning port for the lighting power adapter.


The picture below shows the power adapter attached, the pencil plugged in, and the pencil cap sitting in the pencil cap holder. The pencil cap can be placed in the pencil cap holder with either the open side up or the opposite.


When the charging stand is plugged in, and the pencil is not being charged, the LED on the front lights green. Once the pencil is plugged in to be charged, the LED lights orange and stays that color even after the pencil is fully charged,


What I like

I like the build quality and the weight of the stand. I also like that it has a rubber pad on the bottom that keeps it from sliding on my desk. It does the job.

What can be improved

The only improvement that I would like to see is maybe a USB output jack so that the one adapter can be used to charge both the pencil and maybe the phone at the same time.

Final thoughts

The Oittm Apple Pencil Stand is well built and a nice addition to the decor of my desk. It works exactly as it should and adds a nice level of convenience to my workflow. While some may think it is a bit pricey for what it is, in my opinion, the craftsmanship and materials used make it worthy of its price. I definitely recommend it.

Price: $19.99
Where to buy: Amazon

Yubico’s YubiKey Now Comes to iOS with LastPass Support

One of my favorite hardware security key vendors that I’ve reviewed here on The Gadgeteer is introducing a new Mobile SDK for iOS for developers. It allows any iOS mobile app to add support for hardware-based two-factor authentication (2FA) using YubiKey OTP over NFC. The awesome password manager software LastPass has released the latest version of its password management app with fully integrated support for the YubiKey NEO over NFC on iOS. For current LastPass users, the iOS application will receive an automatic update (version 4.2.7) via the App Store. You can find more information on Yubico.com.

Where do you keep your extra key and coins in a minimal wallet?

One of the perks of carrying a big wallet, perhaps the only perk, is having space for that spare house key or extra SIM card, but most minimal wallets don’t have any spare room or hidden pockets to stash these small items.  They won’t be safe loose in your pocket, so what do you do with them?  And those folks in Europe who can’t get along without carrying a coin or two – where do those go?  With the Cavity Card, you’d be able to replace a few cards with this tray that can hold keys, cards, and coins in most any minimal wallet.  Just insert it in the stack of the cards in your wallet, and you’re good.

Cavity Cards are 3D printed in “the factory of the future”.  The Slim-sized tray holds items up to 2.3mm thick and replaces 4 cards in the wallet.  If you have more to carry, the Regular size holds items up to 3.1mm and replaces 5 cards and the Double holds up to 4.7mm thick and replaces 6 cards.

There are two versions available.  First is a flexible version (2017 model) from Cavity Card that has a 3D printed nylon frame with a thin Tyvek bottom.  Only the Regular size is available now, and it’s €15.50 ($18.00 US).  The second version is fully 3D printed in solid nylon (2018 model).  These are €14.00 ($16.28 US) for Slim, €15.00 ($17.40 US) for Regular, or €16.00 ($18.60 US) for Double, and they ship directly from the Shapeways factory.  You can place an order for either the flexible or the solid versions at Cavity Card.
