Multitools

Titaner's new Mix 3.0 ain't your average ruler. The clever dual-scale device boasts attributes such as an extendable measurement system, a measuring caliper, a magnetically retained pen, and a slide rule for performing calculations.

Your existing multitool may be cool in an outdoorsy way, but does it give you any "street cred"? Well the WingSpan … might … as it packs an adjustable wrench, tweezers, a blade, and six other tools into a butterfly-knife-type titanium body.

Smartphone stands certainly are handy devices, but why tote around a tool that serves as nothing more than a phone prop? The TriPro Stand does a lot more, packing in features such as a blade, bit drivers, a knife sharpener and more.

Given how sharp utility knives are, you really don't want them deploying their blades accidentally. The Titanium Safety Portable Multi-Knife addresses that concern with a unique locking mechanism, plus it incorporates six other features.

It seems to be an unwritten rule that when stuff breaks, there never seems to be a toolbox nearby. That's where everyday carry multitools can help, and the latest to blaze a Kickstarter trail is the titanium UltraFix Driver from TrekGear.

It was just a year ago that we first encountered a multitool which sported a tiny adjustable wrench. Well, the Orioners Z3 is the latest tool to also boast one of those, along with eight other handy features including a fold-out cutting blade.

If you're getting tired of the slew of titanium multitools, you might find the AX02 EDC Carabiner tool to be a breath of fresh air. The brass-bodied device lets users cut, saw, screw-drive, bottle-open, and figure out which way they need to go.

Suppose you're out and about, and end up being called upon to pull a nail, open a bottle, tighten a screw, pry a lid off a can, and break a car window. Hey, it could happen, and the latest tool from Titaner would allow you to do all of those things.

Looking back, 2024 had some exceptionally cool knife and multitool launches, from ultra-sleek, reimagined pocket knives, to modular multitools with limitless customization, to hypnotizing folders that you can't help but deploy over and over.

Multitool maker Sanctum has unhinged the knife from its case, creating a modern twist on the pocket knife. Called the Hard Bar, the pocket-sized beauty also boasts a few other features that'll make it well worth considering as part of your EDC gear.

What has two heads and seven handy features? No, it's not some multi-talented sideshow oddity, it's the Y-IN multitool. It's available in CNC-machined titanium or stainless steel construction, and is currently on Kickstarter.

A new super small knife made from M390 steel promises to offer strong slashing at your fingertips in a package that's about the size of a house key. The compact cutter also comes with two other surprises including a handy bottle opener.
