There’s no shortage of multitools around these days, but not all strike the same elegant tone of The James Brand’s offerings. Its latest is a basic but stylish bit driver, which neatly stows its extra bits away in its cylindrical body.

If you think the new Ellis multi-tool from The James Brand appears a little on the simplistic side, that is very likely the point from a toolmaker that likes to keep things classy and clean.

The new Halifax from Portland toolmaker The James Brand is a multi-faceted implement that doesn’t bite off more than it can chew, with a few simple everyday tools elegantly carved out of a single titanium block.
