The best keychain multi-tools are the ones that stand quietly by until called upon, at which point they deliver with reliability and efficiency.

Ideally, they are made of just one piece (no tiny bits to lose or pivot points to break) and have a form factor that’s flat enough to co-exist with your keys rather than poking a hole in your pocket.

If they happen to look cool, that’s just a bonus, really.

Combining all these winning attributes into a package that costs just 10 bucks? Gerber’s Broadhead offers five compelling functions that can be deployed as fast as an arrow flies.

Arrow dynamic

I’ll try to keep things short and sweet, just like this stainless steel multi-tool.

Drawing its name from its resemblance to a classic bowhunting arrowhead shape, the Broadhead packs a nice little array of functions for its size.

The two you may find yourself using the most are a couple of openers: the package opener is technically found on one side of the arrowhead, but honestly, any edge will do in a pinch.

More specific is the bottle opener found near the keyring hole, which would surely be an embarrassing omission.

Beyond those two rather obvious functions are three more work-oriented ones.

The non-package opening side of the arrowhead is a flathead screwdriver, while its tip offers Phillips head capability.

Finally, within its body is a 1/4-inch socket, which is admittedly rather specific but handy just the same.

One thing I really like about the three work tools is that, thanks to the Broadhead’s diamond-like shape, you should be able to get a good amount of grip, leverage and torque when implementing them.
