SOG MACV Everyday Carry Portable Compact Steel Keychain Tool | Hardcased Black, 12 Tools in One: Bottle Opener, Screwdrivers

This is a pretty good size tool, and it offers a great look for the price. It's light, sturdy, and has a variety of useful functions, but the finish wears easily. I hang my keys from my belt, so there's no problem with sharp corners, but I did carry it in my pocket for a while and the sharp edges did bother me to the point that I took it off of that keyring. I purchased many as gifts that were appreciated by the recipients. My job doesn't require a whole lot of tool use, but it has come in handy a few times. Price, weight, and size make this a win.

Its quite handy i have used it to sharpen fish hooks and also as a screwdriver and bottle opener. plus a cool keychain

Every Sunday for 5wks before Father's Day, our son n I pick one small memorable"Dads Day Gift n give it to my husband. We've been doing this for about 16 maybe 17yrs, so ya, we know about " stocking stuffer" gifts n yes, all 3 of us absolutely loved it. We picked the black skull. Very sturdy n very handy knife sharpener. Impressive. Bottle opener... Fantastic Awesome 😎 I mean it works like it supposed to as the hubby says. Great to put on top of a wrapped present or a in a stocking. Impressed on how sturdy it is.

So Im going to be a bit unconventional... im going to post the Cons first and make some possible recommended changes for future designs in the small change that SOG actually sees this.Cons: pretty tiny to be honest. like, the size of a key, which i guess is good so you can fit it in your pocket easier, but come on SOG, you could have made it slightly bigger and probably incorporated a few more tools.Pros: the tiny factor does play a but into the pros too, it fits easily in your pocket. there is nothing poking through your jeans its very discrete. it has an abundance of tools (12 to be exact), it has both small and large flat head screw drivers, a cord cutting tool (not sure how effective it is... might need to file it a bit more to make it sharper, doesn't seem that sharp), 3 different wrenches, a bottle opener, mini pry bar, nail remover, 1/4 hex driver, a philips tip screw driver, and lastly a knife sharpener. This thing is nice, you have no idea how often im working on something and then need a screw driver, and frankly, im lazy, i dont want to walk to my tool chest to dig out a screw driver, or when im cutting something and my knife gets dull i have to dig out a knife sharpener, now? i have all that on this handy little multitool.some possible changes?: get rid of the pry bar in favor of something else because you can do the same with one of the screw drivers. make the philips tip more defined, how it is, it looks like a flat tip with two nubs to make a Philips head. either get rid of the 1/4 wrench or the 1/4 hex bit driver, if the whole multitool is made slightly bigger you can possibly get rid of the 1/4 wrench and have another size instead having both seems redundant and a waste of space.

I've used it a few times to open a bottle or pry open something - and a friend needed a small wrench once. Mainly, it is a keychain bobble. However, the sharpener works really well, especially on Xacto, box cutter and single edge razor blades.I got it just to touch up the blade on my Swiss army knife at work, as it gets abused frequently. As an afterthought, I tried it on a pretty dull Xacto blade, because I was too lazy to get up from my bench and get a new blade out of the toolbox. To my surprise, it brought the blade back to an almost new edge.Since then I have tried it on box cutter blades, and a single-edge razor blade, and it definitely improved the edge to almost new condition. My only beef is the rivets that hold the little sharpening inserts will loosen up over time, and need to be re-swaged so they don't move around.

I bought this on a whim just because it looked awesome. Attached it to my keys and just used it as a bottle opener. And then it just started to become more useful for random everyday stuff. The blade sharpener works as a quick fix whenever my blade felt dull. I had a really stubborn pipe mouthpiece that wouldn't turn, but managed it by putting it through the "mouth" and wrenching it loose. The drivers also worked out surprisingly well for those awkward angles, that a normal driver can't reach. The only complaint I have, is that the black coating is starting to fade and now it looks all scratched and dinged. For what I paid for, and the versatility I'm getting out of it, a very good purchase indeed.

I really bought this for two functions, as a bottle opener and a pry tool. As a pry tool, I generally use it for opening paints, stains and varnishes. For that, it is as handy as a pocket on a shirt. Of course the bottle opener is what you would expect and it works fine.A few functions I didn't expect to use, but use way more often then I expected. Firstly, the sharpener has come in handy on several occasions; especially with box cutter blades. Secondly, the wrench has come in handy more than a few times. Finally, the hook blade is really good for opening the annoying plastic packaging once you get it started.If it breaks, I will likely replace it.

UPDATE: After a few uses I can say the softness of the metal is becoming an issue. Particularly the bottle opener isn't very effective because the metal is easily bendable.__________________________________________________________________________________________________Every time I buy a gadget tool like this I always wonder when I'll need to use it. Well so far I've had this thing for a week and I've used the screwdriver, bottle opener, and knife sharpener features and they all did the trick. The tool was a little smaller than I thought it would be and seemed a little soft but so far so good. I'm a little concerned that with the small size and soft metal that the wrench functions may be somewhat ineffective. I think it's important to remember this is a tool to be used in a pinch and not your "go to" tool in your home. On a side note, it looks kinda cool on my key chain and so far hasn't damaged the inside of my pockets.
