As descriptors go, “haptically satisfying” is kinda underrated. We don’t talk enough about the fact that if a product is simply pleasant to touch, twist, flip, spin and generally fidget with, it can be compelling as hell, even before we consider its actual utility.

That’s certainly the case with a recent Kickstarter launch, the Titaner Titanium Multi-Tool Pry Bar with Fidget Slider, which might as well be called the Haptic Satisfier. Just look at this action…

Each slide is accompanied by a little clicking sound that only adds to the pleasantness at hand. But don’t go calling this thing a fidget spinner. It packs a lotta cool, handy tools, too.

So what have we got here? Per the Kickstarter page, in addition to the “fidget slider,” you also get a pry bar, bottle opener, nail puller, window breaker, space for a tritium vial to help you find it in the dark, a flathead screwdriver and bit driver, with storage for three bits.

As a cyclist who’s generally obsessed with bit drivers — the right hex wrench can assists with countless adjustments and repairs — that’s one of my favorite qualities.

If it’s not yours, the bit storage area can a secret stash compartment, because you can remove the bits and place something else in the compartment under the slider, such as SD cards, fish hooks or, you know, a bit of the devil’s lettuce.

Heavier-duty functions such as the pry bar, bottle opener and window breaker look robust with this product, thanks to the fact that it’s crafted from Gr5 titanium, valued for its resistance to impact, corrosion and wear plus its overall toughness and durability.

It’s also quite light, helping the whole unit come in under 2.8 ounces. All of which adds up to a handy little tool that’s easy to throw in a pocket or hook to a backpack and forget all about, until you have an EDC task at hand — or you feel the need for some haptic satisfaction.

Editor’s note: You may have noticed in the images/GIFs that sometimes the pry bar appears forked and other times not. We inquired with the project’s creator, Jing Kang, and received a quick response. “The finished pry bar is forked and has the function of a nail puller,” Kang writes. “The reason for the difference in the picture is because we have optimized and adjusted it!”
