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 …

Forgive me for that silly title, I just couldn’t help myself 😉 Seriously though, the mininch Tool Pen looks like a fantastic pocket tool that has been designed to hold 6 screwdriver bits in its 5.75 inch long handle. And since it’s less than 7 inches long, that means it’s TSA friendly.
