Thin is in with the Hyper Thin 420 & 440 EDC wallet multi-tools

CROWDFUNDING NEWS – The team behind the WildCard multitool is back at it again with the Hyper Thin 440 (HT-440)  and 420 (HT-420) every day carry wallet multi-tools. Every part of the tools are useful, and there are laser-drilled holes all over to reduce weight. Both are incredibly thin and light.

Specs

  • Width: 3.15in
  • Height: 2.17 in
  • Blade Thickness: 0.04 in
  • Overall Thickness: 0.087 in
  • Weight: 1.1 oz

Included tools

  • Knife
  • Prybar
  • Screwdriver tips
  • Bottle Opener
  • Inch Ruler
  • Metric Ruler

The top of the line HT-440 has an upgraded 440C stainless steel blade to improve durability and sharpness and a stronger 420 steel handle.  A little lower on the food chain is the HT-420 with a 410 steel handle and 420 steel blade.

A really nice feature of the two tools is that the blade can be removed, allowing you to carry the remainder with you on commercial airlines. The “FlyOff” design is patented.  Worst case, if you are stopped by TSA, you can just surrender the blade and purchase a replacement for less than the cost of replacing the entire tool.  As someone that forgot he was carrying a Leatherman…twice…I see this as a terrific feature.

1. Press Unlock button | 2. Push blade up and rotate | 3. Keep rotating | 4. Blade is off.

This Kickstarter project has already raised $16,721, far surpassing their $2,500 funding goal. The campaign is set to finish on Wed, April 24, 2019, 11:59 PM EDT with shipping beginning in May or June 2019, depending on reward level. Reward levels start at $25 for the HT-420 and $45 for the HT-440.

CountyComm’s Survival Titanium Fishing Card is a pocket-sized fishing kit that isn’t sold by Ron Popeil

NEWS – If you’ve ever found yourself far from the nearest tackle shop and wanted to test your skill at the local fishing hole, or you’ve found yourself lost in the wilderness and needing to catch a fish for your next meal, the CountyComm Survival Titanium Fishing Card may be just the tool you need. The Survival Titanium Fishing Card is a limited-run EDC / emergency fishing kit that includes a selection of hooks (14) and spoons (3) that may be combined with some locally sourced line (say a gutted piece of paracord) and a pole (the included saw can help with building a suitable pole from local materials).

The card is laser cut from a single sheet of Grade 4 titanium and is backed with a piece of adhesive neoprene to allow for the removal of individual pieces while allowing the rest to remain securely attached to the card. The backing also allows you to return a used piece of gear to the card for storage. The card may also be secured to the back of another EDC card, such as a fishing license, credit card, or membership card for slimmer and more discrete carry options.

The card with the adhesive neoprene backing is roughly the same thickness as a US quarter dollar coin and is the same footprint as the average credit/debit card. The specifications of the Fishing Card are

  • 3.35″ x 2.12″ x 0.24″
  • 0.3 ounces

The Survival Titanium Fishing Card list for $13.95 and may be purchased through the CountyComm website at www.countycomm.com.

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.

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.
