TOOLT caught my eye because it combines a replaceable utility blade with folding tools for tightening, prying and measuring. I don’t have one in hand, but I can see the appeal for small jobs like opening a package, adjusting a loose fastener or checking a measurement mid-project.
YSMART’s new Kickstarter project folds three locking tool plates and a replaceable utility blade into a body just 7 cm long. Closed, it looks like a small metal rectangle. Open it up and the working edges spread out around the body, with each plate handling a different group of jobs. The advertised 36 functions include individual wrench sizes and driver options, so the useful question for me is how many of those jobs would turn up often enough to justify carrying it.

The replaceable blade is the feature that interests me most.
TOOLT uses the Stanley 11-921 utility-blade format, with two locking extension positions. For slicing packing tape, I’d start with the shorter setting and expose only the edge I need; the longer position gives more reach for a deeper cut. A replaceable edge also suits the unglamorous stuff a package opener ends up doing. Once it’s dull, you can change the blade without sharpening it. For someone who mostly needs a package opener, that could give the tool a regular job while the other functions cover occasional fixes.
Small fixes, with a few useful extras
The first plate brings together eight hex wrench sizes and three bit drivers, plus an awl, wire tools, a saw and a bottle opener. I can picture using a matching wrench opening to hold a small nut while turning the screw on the other side, or reaching for a driver when a fastener on a piece of gear starts working loose. Fit and access would decide whether TOOLT can handle a particular screw or nut, but those are the kinds of quick adjustments I’d want it around for.
A separate plate carries the pry bar, scraper, bike tire lever, can opener and flathead screwdriver. The pry bar interests me because it gives opening jobs their own edge. For lifting a stubborn lid, I’d rather reach for that than put sideways pressure on the utility blade. The scraper could also be handy for working a stubborn label off a hard surface, provided the surface can tolerate a metal edge.
Then there’s the measuring and finishing plate, which combines metric and inch rulers, a Phillips screwdriver, and coarse and fine files. Around a small project, I could see checking a short dimension, marking a cut, then using a file to tidy a rough edge. Having those functions together is appealing when you’re moving between measuring, cutting and adjusting instead of doing one repetitive task at a bench.
If I get a chance to try TOOLT, I’d want to find out how comfortably the body sits in my hand when filing or turning a fastener, and whether the plate I need has enough clearance around the work. The locking design is useful on paper; the feel of it in use is what would tell me which jobs belong on its everyday list.
The aluminum version would be my starting point
Both editions have the same tool layout and closed dimensions: 70 × 32 × 18 mm, or about 2.76 × 1.26 × 0.71 inches. The aluminum version pairs a 7075-T6 aluminum body with 420C stainless steel plates at approximately 80 g, or 2.82 ounces. Titanium changes both the body and all three plates to Grade 5 titanium, bringing the listed weight to approximately 95 g, or 3.35 ounces.
For this kind of occasional-use pocket tool, I’d lean toward the lighter aluminum model. The titanium version adds 15 g without changing the function list, although I’d still want to handle both before judging the difference in use. A pocket clip and lanyard hole give either version a place on a pocket, pouch or tether. Fully unfolded, TOOLT extends to about 180 mm, so it has a much longer working layout than its closed size suggests.
If your own everyday jobs call for a different mix, our keychain multitool guide covers other compact options. For me, TOOLT’s replaceable blade, small adjustment tools and measuring plate are the combination worth a closer look.
