Multitools

Suppose you're out and about, and end up being called upon to pull a nail, open a bottle, tighten a screw, pry a lid off a can, and break a car window. Hey, it could happen, and the latest tool from Titaner would allow you to do all of those things.

Looking back, 2024 had some exceptionally cool knife and multitool launches, from ultra-sleek, reimagined pocket knives, to modular multitools with limitless customization, to hypnotizing folders that you can't help but deploy over and over.

Multitool maker Sanctum has unhinged the knife from its case, creating a modern twist on the pocket knife. Called the Hard Bar, the pocket-sized beauty also boasts a few other features that'll make it well worth considering as part of your EDC gear.

What has two heads and seven handy features? No, it's not some multi-talented sideshow oddity, it's the Y-IN multitool. It's available in CNC-machined titanium or stainless steel construction, and is currently on Kickstarter.

A new super small knife made from M390 steel promises to offer strong slashing at your fingertips in a package that's about the size of a house key. The compact cutter also comes with two other surprises including a handy bottle opener.

It would be an understatement to say that there are currently a lot of bit-driver-equipped multitools on Kickstarter. A new one sets itself apart from the pack, however, in that it sports a total of six features including storage space for four bits.

In order to perform trailside repairs, mountain and gravel bikers need two things: a multitool and a compact pump. That's where the Daysaver Incredible Pump comes in, as it's a little pump that accommodates a tool (or two!) within its hollow handle.

It was just a year ago when Leatherman launched a 20-in-1 pocket tool it literally billed as its best multitool ever. A year later, it's released a new version of the Arc that might rightfully be the most stylish Leatherman ever.

While there are many multitools that include a bit driver along with a lot of other tools, what if a driver is all you really need? That's where the tiny, compact ScrewMaster comes in – and it does also let you break car windows in emergencies.

Even if you don't usually carry a multitool, there are times when a pen, a craft knife or a screwdriver could just be super handy. The Ti-ONE gives you these and more at a super-compact size small enough to hang off a keychain or necklace.

If a multitool already includes an adjustable wrench, surgical steel blade, bit driver and pry bar, how do you make it even more useful? Well, in the case of the new Pichi X2S, you give it a fold-out saw.

We've already seen multitools with features such as pry bars, adjustable wrenches, ratcheting drive sockets and "everlasting" pens. The PryMax 2.0 combines all of things and more in one compact titanium package.
