Titanium

It would be an understatement to say that there are currently a lot of bit-driver-equipped multitools on Kickstarter. A new one sets itself apart from the pack, however, in that it sports a total of six features including storage space for four bits.

While there are many multitools that include a bit driver along with a lot of other tools, what if a driver is all you really need? That's where the tiny, compact ScrewMaster comes in – and it does also let you break car windows in emergencies.

Even if you don't usually carry a multitool, there are times when a pen, a craft knife or a screwdriver could just be super handy. The Ti-ONE gives you these and more at a super-compact size small enough to hang off a keychain or necklace.

If a multitool already includes an adjustable wrench, surgical steel blade, bit driver and pry bar, how do you make it even more useful? Well, in the case of the new Pichi X2S, you give it a fold-out saw.

We've already seen multitools with features such as pry bars, adjustable wrenches, ratcheting drive sockets and "everlasting" pens. The PryMax 2.0 combines all of things and more in one compact titanium package.

We've seen 3D-printed titanium bars, stems and frame components, but the Reactor Aero takes the concept a whole lot further. Made by the No. 22 Bicycle Company in upstate New York, it's being billed as the world's first 3D-printed titanium road bike.

The Blade Shadow is the latest in a seemingly never-ending stream of multitools that impress with the number of functions crammed into a pocket-friendly form factor. And this one packs a tool you don’t usually see in a multitool.

Less than a year ago we told you about the Tiroler, a titanium ring that's a rather clever alternative to the boring ol' tape measure. Well, its makers are back with a new take on the concept, which also performs calculations.

While most multitools are touted as being EDC (everyday carry), many are big enough that they're not likely to actually be carried every day. The Multi-Kit isn't like that, as it packs an impressive array of features into a relatively tiny package.

Outdoorsy types have lots of uses for folding knives, so if such a device can be lightweight yet also cool-looking, so much the better. That's where the Dragon Ridge comes in, as it has an M390 steel blade that folds into a skeletal titanium handle.

Whether you're a survivalist, tool collector or an appreciator of smart design, you'll want to have a look at the new Hyzer modular titanium hatchet. It combines a skeletal handle with a modular head system that lets you dial in your chopping power.

While titanium hip and knee implants do restore mobility to a great many people, they're still subject to failure. A new alloy could help change that, simply by adding a smidge of bendy, bacteria-killing gallium to the mix.
