NEWS – Not too long ago, I wrote about one of the tiniest EDC tools you can buy: the Claw. This tool measures only 20 x 7 x 3 mm (0.7 x 0.27 x 0.12 inches). It looks like a small bottle opener and performs such functions as… wait for it… opening bottles (whoa!!). It also acts as a screwdriver, a pry tool to open paint cans and remove staples, etc., and a box cutter. At the time I wrote about it, it was a Kickstarter campaign and you could get one for as low as $15. If you missed the campaign, you can now get a grade 5 titanium version for a little over $19 (normally $29) or the Damascus steel version for a little less than $26 (normally $39) thanks to Kinja Deals. Just go to the Malboro & Kane website and be sure to enter the code: KinjaDeals. I’m not sure how long this deal will last so act quickly if you want one for your EDC!

The Claw ? I wouldnt bother…
I backed it on Kickstarter, and whilst it does do all it claims, its tiny size means it offers almost no leverage, and is therefore hard work, sometimes taking three or four attempts to lift a bottle cap !
The much cheaper Gerber Shard, which I also have, is a much better option.
Jeff – Thanks for the info!
