The mininch Tool Pen might not be able to write, but it sure can screw


Forgive me for that silly title, I just couldn’t help myself 😉 Seriously though, the mininch Tool Pen looks like a fantastic pocket tool that has been designed to hold 6 screwdriver bits in its 5.75 inch long handle. And since it’s less than 7 inches long, that means it’s TSA friendly.

The Tool Pen has an aircraft grade aluminum unibody housing that is available in several colors and the bits are made of S2 tool steel.

The mininch Tool Pen Premium is available in Imperial hex and Metric hex versions. Each Tool Pen Premium comes with 16 bits:

Metric Edition
• Bits Include: SL3, SL4, SL4.5, PH1, PH2, H2, H2.5, H3, H4, T10, T15, T20, T25, S1, S2, S3
Imperial Edition
• Bits Include: SL3, SL4, SL4.5, PH1, PH2, H5/64, H3/32, H1/8, H5/32, T10, T15, T20, T25, S1, S2, S3

To use it, you remove the magnetic cap and either start using the exposed tip or pull it out, pop it in the back to extend the next tip in line. Small windows in the handle allow you to see the location of the bit you need.

You can read all about the mininch Tool Pen Premium at mininch.com and order one for $69 from Amazon.

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).

  1. LED Flashlight
  2. #2 Flat Screwdriver
  3. #2 Phillips Screwdriver
  4. 2mm Hex Driver
  5. 2.5mm Hex Driver
  6. 3mm Hex Driver
  7. 4mm Hex Driver
  8. 5mm Hex Driver
  9. 6mm Hex Driver
  10. 8mm Hex Driver
  11. T25 Star Driver
  12. English Wrench Set (1/8, 3/16, 5/16, 3/8, ¼)
  13. Metric Wrench Set (4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 7mm, 8mm, 9mm)
  14. Nail Puller
  15. 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.
