This Tiny, TSA-Friendly Multi-Tool Is the First of Its Kind
Among its most useful functions are as a bottle and can opener, a bike spoke key, a hex bit driver and a rope and wire cutter (thanks to a serrated edge). Like its predecessor, the Toolkey II lacks a true blade, so you can take it through TSA and onto a plane, no problem.
But what really makes it exceed the original is a feature we’ve never seen in a unibody (single-piece) multi-tool before: a strong rare-earth magnet near the tip. That element makes the Philips/flathead screwdriver magnetic, which can be enormously handy for picking up and sticking to the actual screws you are trying to tighten.
As a bonus, that magnet (made of Neodymium, N52, to be specific) also makes the Toolkey II work as a ferrous tester. And Screwpop is quick to note that most standard keys are made of softer, non-ferrous materials, so if you throw this thing on your keychain, it won’t stick to them.
As with most multi-tools of this type, the brand does stretch a bit to get to 17 functions — two of them are “tag buster” and “lotto scratcher” — but considering the upgrade in screwdriver performance and everything else you get for a Jackson, we’re inclined to forgive them on that front.
We cannot, however, extend the same forgiveness to the makers of Zoolander 2.
