Upgrade Your DIY Game with this Ultimate Magnetic Multi-Bit Titanium Screwdriver

Posted on by

In every toolkit, some basic toolsets and an assortment of independent screwdriver attachments are available in case you want handy at any time because you cannot help but notice a loose screw or an awkwardly struck nail. If you’re one such individual; a versatile, compact, and durable screwdriver with multiple bits in the body should be your go-to option.

It all started with the original Ti-Mag project. No wonder, it was successfully funded on Kickstarter before it was delivered to the backers in January earlier this year. Now, after adopter feedback, the makers have upgraded the original Ti-Mag as the Ti Mag V2 with a foldable titanium body. Hence, it’s the perfect companion to tackling DIY projects at home or wherever the need to repair a situation arises.

For the enthusiastic DIYer in you, who at any particular time has his/her tiny workspace overcrowded with screwdrivers, pliers, and other tools – some inside, other overflowing – from the toolbox; you know the significance of a toolkit that you can carry along in the EDC pack or in the pocket with comfort, and unfurl it show what you can do!

Take a bow Ti-Mag V2! The ultimate titanium EDC screwdriver with multi-bits and a pry bar is completely scratch-resistant and designed to reach the narrowest of points you’d want to negotiate. The everyday carry screwdriver combines five interchangeable bits made in different designs and sizes. The screwdriver, in addition to magnetically holding these bits in the womb – within its 180-degree foldable design – also features a box cutter and functions as an incredibly cool fidget toy.

The versatile new Ti-Mag V2 weighs a fraction over 100 grams (106 to be precise). It is incredibly pocket friendly, and comes with a five-bit compartment in a screwdriver CNC-machined from grade 5 titanium. Designed to address shortcomings of the debut model, the version 2 of the Ti Mag has a folding, 180-degree two-way design, which allows the top handle to wiggle half-way on either side providing an opening to access the assortment of screws residing within.

Pull out any of the five bits – depending on the screw size and type – you want to address. You can choose between Slotted 5.5, Philip’s PHO, Philip’s PH1, Philip’s PH2, or Trox T6, which attaches magnetically to the extending bar that looks in place when the action is in progress. When not in use, the bar remains firmly in place so you can even work in hard-to-reach and narrow work spaces.

With the Ti-Mag V2, you can feel the satisfaction that you have the screwdriver comprising different screw sizes and shapes that can take care of all possible scopes of work it is designed for. Obviously, made for carrying out various tasks, this conversation-starting magnetic bit screwdriver allows its pry bar to be used for removing nails and open boxes. And when all are covered and you don’t have any work; entertain yourself with the fidget toy it can be courtesy of four magnets.

This Tiny Titanium Screwdriver with 8 Interchangeable Bits is Compact Enough to Fit on your Keychain

Posted on by

A little larger than your average AA battery, the Otacle D1 is a toolkit small enough to fit on your keychain. Made from a titanium outer body, the Otacle D1 opens up to reveal not one but four double-sided hex bits that fit into the handle-shaped cylindrical outer body. Dock a bit in either at the front for a regular driving experience, or at the back for a high-torque screwdriver and the world is literally your oyster. You can assemble, disassemble, repair, or even tinker with objects around you without needing to fish out your massive screwdriver kit.

Designer: OKNIFE

Designed by the folks at OKNIFE, the Otacle D1 is all about practicality. It’s compact enough to hang out with your keys on your keychain, but has a flap that opens to reveal a crawl-space for storing 4 double-sided hex bits. The Otacle D1’s body is machined from Titanium, a common material found in the EDC industry these days, which also vastly increases its durability while allowing it to be fairly lightweight at just 1.5 oz (42.5 g).

The entire device measures under 3 inches long, while being broad enough to offer a sturdy grip. The rounded square cross-section enhances the grip too, allowing you to twist and turn with confidence. Just in case the screws you’re working with are on the stiffer side, the Otacle D1 offers high-torque operation too. Instead of mounting the bit on front, you can mount it sideways using a hole at the back (shown above), which allows you to apply more turning pressure to loosen tight screws. It also lets you work in tighter spaces where the screwdriver won’t fit in a linear manner.

The Otacle D1 comes in silver and titanium-blue variants, although there’s also a brass version with the graphic of a crack on it if you want something a little edgy. The D1 comes with 4 S2 steel bits included, tucked away in the magnetic holder inside the D1’s hidden compartment. There’s also a lanyard hole at the back (aside from the bit-mounting hole) for stringing a cord or attaching a keyring, so you can carry your toolkit in your pocket or around your neck!

Gorgeous Cicada-inspired Pocket Knife may just be the most beautiful EDC I’ve ever seen

Posted on by

It isn’t often that you have knives mimicking nature or being inspired by natural details, but this one gets a special mention for just how beautiful it is. The Cicada from Rike Knife takes inspiration from one of nature’s noisiest insects, but translates the cicada’s shape and form into a gorgeous piece of art that looks as beautiful closed as it does open. Available in 3 color options, the Cicada knife measures just under 3 inches in length wen closed, making it an incredibly compact number. Open it, however, and you’re greeted with a tiny yet mighty blade that’s perfect for everyday activities.

Designer: Rike Knife

The Cicada pocket knife sports an all-metal design, with a blade made from Bohler M390 (martensitic chromium steel) offering high durability and edge retention. The blade measures a mere 1.96 inches long, and sports a spear-point design with a dual-edge, so you can use it in any direction, or rely on its pointy tip for piercing. A cutout in the blade adds visual drama while reducing material to keep the knife light and spry… and even when open, the entire knife measures just a mere 4.9 inches, putting it in the more compact small-size knife category.

The knife’s 3 color options offer different aesthetics within the same jewel-like format. The matte-black with gold accents is subtle yet eye-catching, while the gold/blue and metallic silver variants glimmer more, drawing one’s attention. The cicada’s wings offer a decent grip while you use the knife, and a Flip Tab opener and frame-lock mean reliable operation.

The entire Cicada knife weighs a paltry 2.46oz (70g), which checks out given how the knife is literally a few fractions of an inch larger than an actual cicada. The $215 knife comes with a tiny hole on the rear end to string lanyards through, and a fairly ambidextrous design that allows you to use the knife with either your left or right hand. Unfortunately, there’s no pocket clip on the cicada – I assume adding one would really help, turning it into a brooch of sorts… but that only means the gorgeous insect-inspired design can be seen on both the front as well as the back of the handle.

Tekto’s EDC Folding Knives get upgraded with Damascus and Forged Carbon design accents

Posted on by

They say you shouldn’t mess with perfection… but you could certainly give it a new paint-job and make it look even better than before. Tekto’s flagship folding knives are getting a design refresh, with variants made with forged carbon and Damascus marbling accents. The new variants will be available for enthusiasts, EDC users, and collectors as a special spin on some old favorites.

The three knives getting a refresh are the F1 Alpha, the F2 Bravo, and the F3 Charlie – all a part of Tekto’s folding knife lineup. The company is best known for their OTF knives (Out The Front Knives), but folders remain a classic part of their catalog, catering to people who love sticking to the basics. All knives are designed as collector-worthy knives that pack an absolute punch. They’re compact, deadly, and built for all sorts of outdoor and tactical scenarios.

Tekto F1 Alpha (Forged Carbon Handle with Silver Blade)

As Tekto’s most fierce folder, the F1 Alpha gets first mention. The new knife boasts the exact same crowd-pleasing design, but with a forged carbon handle and a silver-finish D2 steel blade. The F1 Alpha measures a respectable 4.5 inches when closed, opening up to reveal a 3.1-inch drop-point blade that handles everyday tasks like a breeze. A liner lock holds the blade in place, and jimping on top gives you a perfect grip as you maneuver the knife around. The reverse end of the handle also features a lanyard hole that doubles as a glass-breaker, allowing you to make a quick exit in any emergency scenarios. The entire knife weighs a mere 3.3 ounces, has an ambidextrous pocket clip design, and even comes with its own carrying pouch.

Tekto F2 Bravo (Damascus Pattern Handle with Black Blade)

Don’t let the Bravo name fool you – this one is Tekto’s slimmest, sleekest, and lightest folder of the three. At just 2.4 ounces, it’s miraculously light, making it great for quick maneuvering while cutting ropes, opening boxes, whittling wood, or slicing through leather and fabric. The knife has a 4.3-inch handle that houses a folded 3.3-inch drop-point blade made from D2 steel that’s hard enough to take on any sort of activity. Although the original did come with a speckled carbon fiber handle, this new variant gets a marbled Damascus pattern, with the same black-coated blade to give the F2 Bravo an extremely covert demeanor. Makes sense given how thin and light it is. The F2 Bravo also comes with its own carrying pouch, although the built-in pocket clip and lanyard hole should also suffice.

Click Here to Buy Now: $127.50 $149.99. (Use coupon code “YANKO15” to get 15% off). Hurry, deal ends in 48-hours!

Tekto F3 Charlie (Forged Carbon Handle with Black Blade)

At 4.5 ounces, the F3 Charlie is the big brother of the three. It comes with a 5.2-inch handle that houses a large 3.8-inch titanium-coated D2 steel blade on the inside. Fold the blade out and its drop-point design is just as functional as its siblings, but the larger form factor gives it much more heft and power. The renewed variant sports a forged carbon handle with the same black-coated blade that gives the knife a stealthy aesthetic. Holding the F3 Charlie feels vastly different from something like the Bravo, which has a much slimmer design. The F3 Charlie is meaty, ergonomic, and is made for tactical use although it’s more than happy being used for opening boxes too. It sports a button-lock, which gives it reliability too, while simultaneously having the tactile satisfaction of being able to quickly deploy or close your knife with a flick of the wrist!

Compact EDC multi-tool is a toolbox in your pocket that’s ready to fix anything

Posted on by

One of the worst feelings in the world is facing a simple problem only to realize that you don’t have the right tool to fix it right then and there. This is especially true for people who work with their hands, whether as a tradesperson, a hobbyist, an adventurer, or even just someone who prefers to always be prepared to face any eventuality. Most would probably love to bring all their essential tools with them, but not only would that be cumbersome, it might even raise a few red flags here and there. Multifunctional tools or simply multi-tools for everyday carry bags and kits have become popular for this very reason, but many sacrifice functionality for the sake of boasting about their small sizes. Fortunately, it’s indeed possible to combine compactness and usefulness, and this handsome pocket wrench slash multi-tool is proud to show how.

It’s not that easy to find an EDC tool that perfectly balances quality, functionality, and accessibility. Some promise small and light designs but skimp on durability or offer very few tools inside their compact body, while others do come like a tank but cost like gold. That’s why the OmniPro Tool is such a marvel of design and engineering, cramming no less than nine features in a single tool that’s no bigger than a credit card.

Yes, the OmniPro Tool boasts nine functional tools, or ten if you include the lanyard. The wrench is probably the most obvious one, offering precision and a secure grip for quick fixes or adjustments. That’s just the tip of the iceberg, of course, as every nook and cranny of this pocket tool has a secret to tell. That same spanner, for example, can be used as a very accurate caliper that not only lets you measure objects in an instant but also demonstrates the design’s attention to detail and craftsmanship. Need to measure something straight or draw a straight line? The side of the OmniPro Tool also functions as a ruler for quick and easy measurements.

The OmniPro Tool also functions as a bit driver that supports standard 1/4-inch hex bits and 1/6-inch bits, ensuring that you’re always ready to tackle any project, repair job, or task. Even better, it features a bit storage compartment that can hold up to four standard 1/4-inch hex bits. The compartment magnetically attaches to the spanner so those bits are never far from where you need them. A bi-directional ratchet screwdriver allows you to quickly switch direction with a simple thumb flick so that you won’t need two tools when you can do with one. The bottom of the multi-tool has a strategically placed window breaker so that you won’t be caught unprepared for emergencies. And when the work is done, you can use the OmniPro Tool to open a bottle of your favorite beverage. It even works as a phone stand so you can just sit back and relax, watching your favorite shows.

Even with all these features, the OmniPro Tool maintains a compact and lightweight size that’s also durable and weatherproof thanks to Grade 5 Titanium. Another proof of its thoughtful design is the three slots that can accommodate 1.5mm x 6mm tritium illumination, helping you see and locate the tool even in the dark. Whether you’re ready to take on the great outdoors, planning your next DIY project, or simply preparing for anything life may throw at you, the OmniPro Tool lets you carry your toolbox in your pocket so that you will never leave home unprepared ever again.

Extreme EDC: This rugged Titanium Hatchet is your Best Friend for Outdoor and Tactical Scenarios

Posted on by

Sure, it’s no Thor’s Stormbreaker, but the HYZER’s handy size and reliable design make it a perfect part of your outdoor or camping EDC. With a highly customizable design that lets you choose the axe head thickness, handle length, and even the color of the grip, the HYZER can be personalized to your liking, whether you need something hefty for felling short trees, or just a light, sharp, maneuverable axe to skin hunted animals and defend yourself in a skirmish.

Designer: Exceed Designs

It isn’t often you see hatchets made from titanium. The material, known for its enduring nature, is often seen in smaller EDCs that need strength in a compact form factor. Hatchets, by definition, are large instruments, and can rely on brute force to make their impact. However, the HYZER’s choice of being machined from solid 6AL-4V GR5 titanium sets it apart in a bunch of ways. For starters, the material allows the axe to be a lot lighter and thinner than its steel counterparts. The HYZER features a skeletonized handle that shifts all the weight to the blade on top, allowing you to swing with force. The head, however, comes fashioned from D2 steel, known for its reliability and edge-retention. Heavier than titanium, it shifts the weight to the top which makes the hatchet more efficient.

The HYZER comes with a few potential modifications that allow you to personalize your EDC. You’ve got a choice between short and long handle lengths, with the option of either going with the skeletonized handle, or opting for a woven handle that offers a significantly better grip. Similarly, the axe head comes in three weight classes too – a lightweight variant that weighs 6.77 ounces, a medium variant that weighs 7.44 ounces, and the heaviest variant that weighs 8.88 ounces. The heads attach to the handle using four countersunk screws to maintain the HYZER’s flush, sleek design, and can easily be replaced or customized depending on your need.

So what would you really need a titanium hatchet for? Well, the HYZER is best suited for adventure and tactical situations. Whether it’s braving the elements in the outdoors, or just old-fashioned survival, the HYZER is quite the sidekick for the job. Depending on your handle, the HYZER Measures either 8.15″ or 9.75″ long, weighing 12.3 or 13.8 ounces. Storing the HYZER is easy thanks to the option of an add-on sheath. Maker ‘Exceed Designs’ offers a classic sheath made from genuine Horween leather, or a molded sheath made from Kydex with an included adjustable belt clip (shown above).

Aside from the various spec customizations, the HYZER also has a few color variants to choose from. The handle comes with a choice between stonewashed, grey, or black PVD finish, while the axe head has four colors to choose from, ranging from stonewashed to two shades of grey, and finally the PVD black variant. If you choose to have your handle wrapped in paracord, there are 8 color options you can choose from, ranging from vibrant to covert.

The HYZER Ti Hatchet starts at $170, with different attachments/modifications being available for an add-on cost. Each hatchet is assembled in USA and comes with a lifetime warranty. The HYZER is limited to just a 500-unit run, so if you’re interested in grabbing one for yourself, head to the Exceed Designs website and snag yourself a hatchet before it’s all gone!

Pocket Cable EDC is a compact tangle-free charging cable disguised as a Swiss Army Knife

Posted on by

EDC essentials are trending for the right reasons and they can range from pocket knives and multitools to pens and personal care items. USB cables have also become an important everyday carry item that needs to be handy all the time for power-hungry gadgets or transferring big files across multiple devices.

This cool EDC brings both worlds together into a form that’ll be pocketable, utilitarian and essential to have in your arsenal. The Pocket Cable by Native Union wins us over for its clever design that most of us needed but never knew could exist. There are many other charging cable management solutions but this one stands out for its compact design that keeps the function at the forefront.

Designer: Native Union

The Pocket Cable is inspired by pocket knives, and the design proves it all right. The USB-C to USB-C charging cable works pretty similar to the popular EDC, keeping everything well disguised and managed. That’s something that inherently can be a problem with charging cables. At first glance you might mistake it for a Swiss Army Knife enclosure but on the inside resides a 7-inch-long cable for all your tech needs. The 60W power ensures you are covered for transferring big data in a jiffy and fast charging needs. You can juice up your fast-charging Android devices as well as MacBook and iPad without any problem.

Durability is also not ignored here as the highly-resistant cable is crafted from 100 percent recycled PET reinforced braiding, enclosed in a 100 percent TPU closure. There’s another layer of aramid fiber core that gives the Pocket Cable a whopping 30,000-plus bend lifespan. Most charging cables give away at the joints of the connectors, so Native Union has included an O-Flex strain relief layer that’s almost two times more robust than a normal strain relief design.

If you are wondering whether the cable is certified for compatibility with all USB-C devices, then the answer is a loud yes. It has a chip with an E-Marker to regulate power depending on the requirements and limitations of the connected device. For $30 the Pocket Cable is a useful EDC to have handy since it measures just 4 inches when winded up. The only thing that is a bit of a downer is the cable length which could have been longer, but we have to consider how compact this thing actually is.

This cleverly designed flat-pack cardholder EDC lets you switch style in a jiffy

Posted on by

Those who are always on the go love the compact holding capacity of a cardholder to stash their important stuff. Carrying credit cards, valuable IDs and cash in one small EDC has loads of advantages. So, why not level up from an ordinary cardholder that’ll in a few months seem boring?

That’s why the Clip Clop EDC Clip piqued my interest. The accessory designed for Gen-Z users comes with the flexibility of toggling the look, feel and utility. The cardholder flat packs into different modules including magnetic fasteners and five different face plates to make switching styles as easy as displaying your daily fashion statement.

Designer: Rice Mak

The EDC accessory combines the strength of magnets, fasteners and clever design to make the switch from one style to another ultra-easy. This also facilitates the opening and closing mechanism to be quite an addictive affair. When the cardholder is open the elastic bands retract within the housing without compromising the sleek and compact design. Clip Clop EDC comes with a capacity to store up to 10 cards in one go but the designer suggests using only 6 cards to maintain the elasticity of the clips for a longer time. The cards within the holder can be arranged efficiently in optimal order and accessed both from the top and bottom.

Unlike conventional cardholders, this one has a cutout secured by magnetic elastic bands, so that you can retrieve any card without opening the complete housing. If you are one of those who like to keep cash in the cardholder as well, the clip-on can be screwed to the back of the accessory. Given the level of freedom this cardholder EDC brings, you can match it to your daily style and mood to complete the look. As per Rice, Instead of simply combining traditional EDC toy elements with a cardholder, we have cleverly optimized and innovated on the original functions of the cardholder, creating a user experience that is both convenient, practical, and filled with joy.”

The Tekto A5 Spry Mini is a Tiny yet Mighty OTF Knife with a Tactical Demeanor

Posted on by

Good things come in small packages – this one measures just over 3 inches and packs a powerful blade deployed using one of the most satisfying mechanisms ever. Meet the Tekto A5 Spry Mini, a compact pocket blade with the company’s signature OTF mechanism that lets you deploy your cutting edge with a simple push of a button.

Named after its elder brother the A5 Spry, this mini marvel compresses everything that was great about its predecessor into a more compact, pocket-friendly package. While the original A5 Spry measured a nifty 4.9 inches when closed (and 8.6 inches when open), the A5 Spry Mini condenses it all into a 3.2-inch package that opens up to 5.3 inches, giving you a knife that’s smaller, lighter, more maneuverable, just as strong, and with the same satisfying OTF mechanism that deploys a titanium-coated S35VN steel blade, along with a tungsten steel glass-breaker on the rear to get you out of any sort of emergency.

Tekto A5 Spry vs. A5 Spry Mini

The A5 Spry Mini’s all-metal design is a pleasure for the eyes and the hands. You’ve got a handle machined out of 6061-T6 Aluminum, offering a cool, confident grip thanks to its ergonomic, ambidextrous design. Weighing a little more than knives with G10 or carbon fiber handles, the A5 Spry Mini gives you the confidence of a slightly larger knife while still being deviously compact. A single contoured switch helps deploy its blade, while pushing the switch back retracts the blade back into the handle. The process feels so incredibly tactile and satisfying I wouldn’t be surprised if you never wanted to buy a different flipper knife ever again.

Drop Point Blade

Dagger Blade

Tanto Blade

With the A5 Spry Mini, you have 3 blade styles to choose from – a Dagger-style blade with dual edges, a conventional Drop-point blade that’s an industry standard, and a Tanto-style blade with a faceted edge. You can choose the blade type depending on what you predominantly use your EDC knives for. The dagger style is a great tactical option, the drop-point is arguably the most classic of the lot, and the tanto blade is conventional with a twist. The blade itself is crafted from premium S35VN steel, known for its robustness and edge-retention, and further coated with a titanium layer to make the blades even stronger than before.

Equipped with a tungsten steel ball glass breaker for maximum effectiveness in emergencies. The new design ensures quick, efficient glass shattering, providing reliable safety and accessibility when every second counts.

Forged with a premium S35VN steel and coated in titanium, the A5 Spry Mini blade offers unparalleled durability and edge retention, ensuring reliability and peak performance in any situation.

Move your eyes away from the blade and you see that the A5 Spry Mini’s body comes with a few more surprises, from an ambidextrous pocket clip that can attach itself to either the left or right side of the blade depending on your dominant hand. The rear has one last flourish in the form of a tungsten steel glass breaker that lets you strike at even reinforced or laminated glass (like the ones on cars), causing it to shatter at the point of impact. Absolutely ideal to have in the glove box of your car or even on your person, the A5 Spry Mini is one of those miniature miracles that can be quite a life-saver whether it’s escaping emergencies, surviving tactical or self-defense situations, or just using a folding knife for mundane activities like opening parcels, cutting fruits/veggies, or scraping flint to start a fire. Don’t worry, the mundane won’t feel that way for long given how much hands-on fun Tekto’s OTF mechanism is!

This $25 Must-Have Car EDC Gadget Could Save Your Life In An Emergency

Posted on by

Seatbelts are designed to not be cut. Glasses on cars are designed to not be broken. That’s all well and great until you find yourself in an emergency where you need to get out of a car and you’re stuck because of a jammed seatbelt or door. Although seatbelts and laminated glass panels are designed effectively to protect you, they can sometimes become the barriers to your safety – which is why it helps to have something like the Lifehammer Smart Automatic on you. A little larger than an AirPods case, the Lifehammer Smart Automatic is an emergency tool that helps you quickly slice through seatbelts and shatter glass windows so you can make an exit in a scenario where every second matters to your safety. Designed to be the essential EDC that every car needs, this $25 gadget could literally be a life-saver.

Designer: Lifehammer Products

Click Here to Buy Now

The Lifehammer Smart Automatic has a pretty compact, self-explanatory design, which makes it perfect for intuitive use in a split-second emergency. The soap-shaped gadget is easy to grasp firmly in your palm, and comes with a cutout on the side that you hook around your seatbelt. Slide the device over and it slices through the seatbelt’s tough fibers like a knife through butter… while still maintaining a safe design that won’t ever accidentally hurt you.

The top of the Lifehammer Smart Automatic houses its glass-breaker tip. It’s easy to identify the two crucial features simply by looking for the orange accents which highlight the cutter and breaker respectively. The top of the Smart Automatic has a spring-loaded head that you simply press into a glass panel. Eventually, it triggers the glass-breaker tip to eject outwards and shatter any tempered or laminated glass – like the ones found on car windows and windshields. The process requires minimal effort and time, allowing you to quickly break through the glass in case your door gets jammed.

A winner of this year’s iF Design Award, the compact Lifehammer Smart Automatic is a lot smaller than most car-safety gadgets we’ve seen, and comes with its own holder that attaches to any part of your car using 3M adhesive tape. This means you can attach the Smart Automatic beside your seat or the gearbox, or even behind the rearview mirror so it’s easier to access than having to open the glove box and fish around.
