Summary: Great idea, but impractical due to poor design
Comment: A good selection of tools in theory, but in practice not very useful. None of the tools can be used without first opening the Utilikey and removing it from your keychain. Opening it requires both hands, and isn't easy even so (actually, it's near impossible if you've recently cut your nails). The bottle opener is particularly frustrating: To use it, you have to put down the bottle, use both hands to open the Utilikey, put down your keys (if they didn't already fall to the floor when the Utilikey popped open), pick up the bottle, then carefully avoid slicing your finger open with the cutting blade (which is situated with the sharp edge facing the only place you can hold the thing) while opening the bottle. But you're not done yet, you still have to put down the bottle, pick up your keys, reattach the Utilikey, and pick up the bottle again. A little more complicated than one might hope opening a bottle with a handy pocket tool would be, no? That said, the small size does make it possible to use the screwdrivers in tight spaces that might otherwise be inaccessible, but you're still highly likely to cut yourself on the blade in the process. I give it two stars rather than one because it really is a great idea in theory, despite the drawbacks with this particular implementation. Hopefully a redesigned version down the line will turn out to be more useful.

Summary: Small, well-made but bad design
Comment: This multi-tool has a couple of flaws that leaves it on my desk instead of on my key chain. One must open the blade to use any of the tools, which also releases it from the key chain. I would much prefer that it stay on my key chain. Also, to pull the blade open, one's fingers have to get right next to the sharp blade. The risk of cutting oneself is probably very low, but it doesn't feel right. Bad feng shui or something.

Summary: good to have but hard to use
Comment: I've had this attached to my key ring for a number of years. I don't need it often but when I have it's been useful as long as I am very careful while handling it. The knife is extremely sharp and because the key is pretty thin it can rotate easily in your fingers. It's not incredibly easy to close around a key ring with one hand, and does with a bit of a snap, so you need to make sure your fingers are well out of the way when you do. The Phillips screwdriver on the end of one of the tines is helpful for things like tightening eyeglasses, but it is slightly offset from the opposing blade and I've nicked or jabbed myself with it more than once while it's in my pocket. You're supposed to lock it at either 90 or 180 degrees when using it, but when you close it from 90 the keyring end easily grabs at your fingers. This isn't a product for kids, and only should be used with extreme care.

Summary: Great Little Key Chain
Comment: This is a great little item to have on my key chain. It is useful pretty much anytime I need a knife or scissors and does a good job of replacing larger swiss army knives or leatherman multi-tools that I had before. Besides all this it is just a cool item to be able to show your friends and surprise them with when it doesn't open a door, but does open their drink.
