This Tiny Multi-Tool Boasts More Utility Than Many Over Twice Its Size

EDC multi-tools are a game of give and take. The best ones pack a ton of functionality into a relatively small, pocket-friendly format. Yet some are far better than others at saving space or offering utility, but usually not both.

The EDC Monster KeyMaster 2.0 might just be the best of both worlds. This positively tiny keychain multi-tool packs the functionality of many twice its size or more.

Are you the key master?

The core consideration of any keychain multi-tool is its size. One that’s too long will stick out like a sore thumb, and if it’s too heavy, forget about it — it’ll bog down your whole keychain.

Neither of those are a problem for the KeyMaster 2.0. As its name suggests, it’s about the same size as a standard house key. For reference, it measures just 7.0 centimeters (or about 2.75 inches).

While it’s a bit thicker than a house key — probably closer to three or four keys stacked on top of one another — it’s still exceptionally lightweight at just 29 grams. That’s only a hair over a single ounce.

This lightness is achieved by its makeup. It’s built from titanium, a non-magnetic metal known for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. This form and construction allow it to be absolutely jam-packed with functionality.

Major key

Typically, keychain multi-tools — especially those shaped like keys — have a handful of functions at best, often three to five. By contrast, the KeyMaster 2.0 is practically overloaded, boasting 18+. That’s the same amount as Leatherman’s beefy Wave+, a classic.

Better still, the tools are all quite useful. There are some old standards, like an integrated bottle opener and a pry bar. But there are also others that are a little more impressive.

For instance, the KeyMaster 2.0 has a magnetic bit holder tip, making it a much more useful driver than, say, a standard flathead (as many similar tools are). It also has onboard magnetic bit storage, so you can expand the driver functionality.

It also has a removable, replaceable X-acto-like scalpel, granting it cutting power that outshines even some utility cutting tools. Other features include a saw, file, fire starter and many more.

And here’s the real kicker: remove the scalpel and it’s fully TSA-friendly, meaning you can travel with it wherever you wish.
