![]() Geekey features many common tools that have been used for decades and proven essential for everyday fixes. It is great for opening the occasional bottle, but you wouldn't want to use it if you're playing bartender.Īll in all, I should just stick with bottle openers that fit on my keychain or slide into my wallet instead of wasting around twenty dollars on something like this. Geekey is an innovative, compact multi-tool like nothing seen beforeit’s truly a work of art with engineering that combines everyday common tools into one sleek little solution that delivers endless capability. Now for the thing that works well, the bottle opener. So if you are going to smoke that little bowl you'll have to do a lot of stirring. No mattter how well or loose you pack the bowl it is still going to draw heavy from the side the pipe stem is located. Any side of the bowl pipe stem will not draw properly and this Geekey is no exception. The screwdrivers are very small, so I don't imagine that I will find much use for them.įinally, the pipe. The metal scribe works well, but is much too wide for my tastes. The wire stripper? I haven't come across a wire it could strip yet. But I'll have to say you would be better off with this multi-tool than most of those flat wallet packs. The wrenches are the next bad design, they can only be used if there is enough clearence to rotate the Geekey. It includes 16 different tools that have been cleverly embedded into its compact. ![]() With no way to socket a needle and thread, this protractor is just useless. The Geekey multitool is made from tough 17-4 stainless steel and actually resembles a slightly oversized key. I'll call out the worst function first, the protactor. This tool is no better or worse than all the myriad of multi-tools out there. You can buy it from their website, or you can buy it through other retailers, like Amazon.One thing I have to say about multi-tools like this is that I never expect the tools to be mediocre at best, except for the bottle opener. It can be an especially handy option for those hard-to-shop-for guys on your list, but nearly anyone can use one. Facebook 0 Twitter LinkedIn 0 Reddit Tumblr. The Geekey makes a perfect stocking stuffer. (Also, I’m pretty sure this one is airline-friendly.) Gift-Giving And it doesn’t have any protruding sharp points (at least not any sharper than any other key), so you won’t stab yourself with it while it’s in your pocket. It’s small enough to fit comfortably on a key ring with your other keys, but it has enough bulk to hold onto and enough thickness to be sturdy when you’re trying to work a screw, nut, bolt, etc. This makes it a good size for the purpose. The thickness falls into a similar range - a bit thicker than a “standard” key, but not as thick as the bulky plastic grip section of a modern car key. It’s no larger, though, than most car keys. The Geekey is a little larger than I had envisioned - it’s larger than a typical housekey or similar key. I think the imperial measurements are on the same side with the inch rule and the metric with the centimeter ruler. You can see in the photo above how they don’t line up the same on both sides of the tool. (These aren’t very long, for obvious reasons, but they’re handy to have in your pocket or purse.) The wrench section (looks like stacked graduated hexagons) is also made both ways. For instance, one side has a small centimeter ruler, while the other has an inch rule. Metric and imperial options are available for several of the tools. Apart from the pipe and bowl (for smoking) most of the tools here are pretty general, basic tools that large numbers of people are likely to truly need. First of all, it isn’t “padded” with a bunch of largely-useless tools. There are a number of things that stand out about this tool. Most of the tools are visible from the front.Ī few, however, are only visible from the back. ![]() It comes attached to a card describing its various tools. The Geekey, as you can see, is shaped like a key. So what makes the Geekey multi-tool stand out? Let’s take a look at what this key-shaped multi-tool has to offer. There are a plethora of multitools available nowadays, in a variety of sizes, shapes, and configurations.
