Gerber's Shard Keychain Tool is a wonderfully simple multi-use multitool that can be used to perform seven different functions.

The tool itself is constructed from stainless steel. The overall length is 2.75 inches and total weight is 0.6 ounces. The pointed end features a small Phillips screwdriver end. Just next to the screwdriver end, the tool features a keychain ring that allows for easy everyday carry.

On the opposite side of the tool, users will find two flat-blade screwdriver ends for small- and medium-sized flat-head screws. In between the two flat-blade drivers, the Shard features a wire stripper. The whole end of the screw can be used as a pry bar, and the tool also features an extension that functions as a bottle opener.

The Gerber Shard Keychain Tool is titanium-nitride-coated and is airline safe. The suggested retail price on the tool is $7.
