Combine your keys with your multitool


This looks pretty awesome, but it’s difficult to say just how practical it is until you try it. I’m willing to do it, but first I need a nice Leatherman. The process looks surprisingly easy, assuming you have some sort of way of cutting hardened steel. You just use one of the multitool’s bits as a guide and then drill the right size hole — presto!

I think, personally, that’s better to go the other way and install a multi-tool on your keyring. I’ve had one of these things for a couple years and it’s gone through airports all over the world. Sharp as hell, never lets me down (though it has occasionally laid me open pretty badly). [via BoingBoing and MAKE]

Yeah, it looks cool but it would be totally impractical. And you’d get your keys confiscated, not just your multitool, if you forgot to leave it at home on a trip. That wouldn’t be fun at all.

Nice find. A more practical (but expensive) solution is the “KeyPort” http://www.uncrate.com/men/gear/misc-gadgets/keyport-slide/

Also, FYI. I have the above-mentioned SwissTech UtiliKey (http://www.swisstechtools.com.) It’s a useful little tool, and it’s made it through the airport more than once!

Keep up the good work,
Matt
