Swiss+Tech Mega-Max folding multi-tool puts 15 tools in your palm

The Swiss+Tech Mega-Max is a multi-tool with an interesting design. It has a rectangular stainless steel frame that holds 15 tools that include screwdrivers, hex drivers, wrenches and more (see the full list after the break).

LED Flashlight
#2 Flat Screwdriver
#2 Phillips Screwdriver
2mm Hex Driver
2.5mm Hex Driver
3mm Hex Driver
4mm Hex Driver
5mm Hex Driver
6mm Hex Driver
8mm Hex Driver
T25 Star Driver
English Wrench Set (1/8, 3/16, 5/16, 3/8, ¼)
Metric Wrench Set (4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 7mm, 8mm, 9mm)
Nail Puller
Pry Bar

The fact that this multi-tool offers so many tools is nice, but I’m not convinced that the tools would be comfortable to use because the “handle” is wide and flat. If you have to use any real torque, I think the edges would dig into the palm of your hand. I’m just speculating though.

You can read more about the Mega-Max by visiting Swiss+Tech and you can order one from Amazon for $15.56.

Grovemade adds aluminum key ring to their lineup

Grovemade started out with bamboo and wood iPhone cases about seven years ago but since then, they have expanded their offerings to include new products like this new key ring made from a solid block of anodized aluminium.

Unlike some carabiners that can pinch your fingers, the Grovemade key ring features a unique loop design that allows you to easily hang it from a belt loop.

This US made lightweight but strong key ring also has a built-in bottle cap lifter so you can pop the top on a cold one.

The Grovemade aluminum key ring is priced at $29 and if aluminum isn’t your thing, you can also buy the key ring in steel, brass or titanium for $39, $59, and $79. The price for all of these key rings is pretty spendy, but if you like the design and style, head over to grovemade.com for more info.

Be the envy of your EDC collecting buddies with this folding coin knife that has a Damascus steel blade

I’m an EDC fanatic and am always on the lookout for cool but useful gear that I can carry with me on a daily basis. But I don’t like just any gear. My favorite EDC products have to be small but awesome. The Folding Coin Knife from BucknBear ticks both of those boxes. This coin-sized pocket knife features a Damascus steel blade. What is Damasus steel?

Damascus steel was a type of steel used for manufacturing sword blades in the Near East made with wootz steel. These swords are characterized by distinctive patterns of banding and mottling reminiscent of flowing water.

The Folding Coin Knife is small enough to fit in the coin pocket of your jeans, attach it to your keychain, or wear it around your neck. This particular folding coin knife sells for $49 at Huckleberry. But on a whim, I did a search for “folding coin knife” on Amazon and found a bunch of similarly styled coin knives priced much lower. Some under $10. Of course the ones on Amazon don’t have a Damascus steel blade, but they still look cool.
