Do the tools on a credit card multi-tool actually work? It seems like the amount and variety of credit card multi-tools available on the market are endless, but are they actually useful?
Today we take a standard 11 in 1 credit card multi-tool and test every tool and function it offers to see if it is worth carrying around in your wallet. Each tool on the credit card multi-tool is tested to see if it works, is useful, and is easy to use.

The only useful review of this item out of dozens - because you actually demonstrated each tool’s use. Your explanations and opinions were very intelligently and simply stated. Good work.

@user-lj5ge4yv2m 2 года назад

The only guy who has explained how to use "direction ancillary indication".

@brentmichael1975 2 года назад

I have a suggestion for the use of the can opener. If you do it in a backward motion instead of forward motion it will be much easier. You won’t have to keep punching a new hole every time. By the way great job on the video and I hope your channel grows.

@sargera1 Год назад

like the p38 did.just plunge and drag it

@tweezerjam Год назад

Wow I’ve seen hundreds of videos with p38s and no one has used that technique, not even steve.

@chazw3x 11 месяцев назад

@@tweezerjamThe limited instructions that came with the original P38s actually showed that you used it in "reverse". Putting the tip through the previous cut gap.

@DR-bp1yu 3 года назад

You do a great job of testing it. Others have commented on the proper use of the can opener, so I'll just mention that the lineyard hole can also be used to bend wire, to pull cording, hold nails etc.

@SeNo_JeKuL91 2 года назад

Ha. Didn't think of that.. was just thinking it was a hole to loop onto your keychain. Lol

@w.maximilliandejohnsonbour725 3 года назад

I brought this little device. I keep it in my wallet. This little edc device has got me out of a lot of situations. It's worth the price to carry something like this. I don't always carry my edc backpack which has multiple items for certain situations. In using the device it's best to have a glove on the hand you use so that it's more comfortable to use. Having something is better than having nothing especially when you are in a pinch. Nice video dude.

@jasonlaquey3870 3 года назад

the can opener has a hook near the blade that catches on the can rim, then you lever the cutting blade into the can and with a rocking motion work around the lid it's not just forced into the lid. To use it as a compass , hang the card from a string in the lanyard hole, you don't have to float it in water.

@fauxjester 2 года назад

again tyvm for the info more so the (compass like feature )

@johncarranza7727 3 года назад

I bought it but didn't know most of the advantages it has, but after watching this video I find this tool very useful. Thanks

@abdullahal-shimri3091 Год назад

This is the best review of this particular tool on youtube. You do actual demonstrations instead of just talking about it.

@noname-xq6tp 2 года назад

Thanks, it was a gift and I was like (in my head) why? Now I know, because of you HOW TO USE IT, so again Thank you! A sturdy glove should come with it. Opening that can looked like something I wouldn't want to do.

@danielworley2273 3 года назад

The lanyard hole is useful. If you need to apply torque, while using 4 position wrench on this card. By using the lanyard you reduce the the risk of injury. You can use the wrenches with out physically touching the multi tool card.

@tweezerjam Год назад

Assuming is stays in place. That seems like a challenge.

@w.maximilliandejohnsonbour725 3 года назад

Oh!. By the way. In using the compass part. You lay the card on a flat surface. Then put water in the center of the opening till it's at the top. Take a small sewing needle that you have magnetized cut it down to size and place it in the center. Now you have a make shift compass. It ain't perfect. But it works.

@KnifeManual 3 года назад

Oooh good tip!

@jiminmoore8237 Месяц назад

Thanks for explaining that Max, I've read how to do it but your explanation of using it to mimic a compass was excellent 👍

@paaao 3 года назад

I carry this at work everyday because it's the only tool that sits in the single card holder stuck to the back of my smart phone. (Something I always have to have on me) Put the end of a 10 in 1 klein (or Milwaukee) screwdriver in your pocket, and you can use the socket section to add torque, and now you have a strong batch of screwdrivers, plus knife, and other tools on you at all times with almost zero added pocket space used.

@KnifeManual 3 года назад

The ultimate combo👍😁

@WindsongPodcast 2 года назад

Good idea thanks!

@racay9082 10 месяцев назад

I just received one from one of the charities, in the Marine Corps back in the days of C rations they called the can opener 'John Wayne's'.

@censusgary 3 года назад

A lanyard hole? But the thing is full of other holes. You could run a lanyard (or, as I call it, a string) through any of those holes.

@beausmith6010 Год назад

Extremely well done presentation and honest. No needless jibber jabber and I appreciate that. Other channels tend to go on and on and use this as a chance to show off their other EDC tools and the meat of the video gets lost in the confusion. Your focus on the Credit Card Tool was long needed. Everyone has come across one of these at some point, but few have had the chance to see if they do what they are made to do. You covered that perfectly. Thank you. You summed it up well. They don't take up much room and they do what they are supposed to. I have these planted all around in my packs and bags...Just in case. Thank you and look forward to more on your channel.

@deanmininger4836 2 года назад

Thanks for sharing a thorough test of the tool. I think sometimes it's referred to as a multi-function tool, in which perhaps the lanyard hole could be qualified as a function. Also, because of the size and amount of tools in such a small piece of thin steel, one can hardly expect it to work well in most of its functions. Even in large tools, a multi-function tool normally doesn't work as well as a dedicated one.

@thomaspeters5889 3 года назад

You do not appear to be using the can opener correctly. It works as good as a military P-38 which is very effective.

@Nani_HL 2 года назад

Nice to finally know all the functions to this tool that I keep in my car for years now. Definitely a useful tool that could come in handy one day. Nice video. Thanks

@kikim6116 Год назад

Super helpful. I was looking at Swiss Army knives but finally realized that outside of a knife which I already have I’m probably not gonna use a lot of the tools on a Swiss Army knife very often so it’s mainly just for incidentals. When I saw this card I thought this is what I need for incidentals or emergencies, but I didn’t know how to use all the different features. So thank you for the video really helpful.

This tool came in my survival kit with the little card telling what each aspect of the tools are for. Nice job of demonstrating HOW they are to be used and, yes, I can see this as a helpful tool if you had nothing else to do the job and it is compact enough to require little space for carrying and storage. Great video! (I subscribed).

@aaronm.v.9990 3 года назад

That's just an old style can opener XD, you are using it in the wrong direction. Just switch directions and it should work just fine.

@KnifeManual 3 года назад

Lol I never had the need to use it so was figuring it out on the fly:) Thanks for watching Aaron!

@donsmith3167 3 года назад

What Aaron means is you hook it the same way but you move the cutting edge toward the hooks direction then move hook back farther and continue the cut edge again. In the Military it was called a P38 can opener and it folded up. Worked much better than this. Not sure about you but I've never found a wing nut that would fit in that butterfly slot. I think it is suppose to be used with the knife and used as a pair of scissors.. Just my thought.

@Kal4816 3 года назад

I think the butterfly wrench is meant to be used to loosen wing nuts that are too tight. Then you can just unscrew them by hand.

@jaqian 2 года назад

Yes, but I haven't seen one of those since the 80s

@waynegirten8990 3 года назад

Hey buy As far as the little hole on the wrench is concerned, it is useful. Try tying dental floss to it and hang it from a branch and it will point north and south. You can use a lot of dental floss rapped around it because that can come in handy as well. Thanks

@chabygirl13 Год назад

Exactly. It is partly magnetised I believe. And if you don't have dental floss, and are in a true survival situation, one could always use the blade and harvest something similar. Like a thread off the user's clothing, hair, or fibres from a branch etc

@Inkling777 Месяц назад

Like others point out, your review is the most useful I've seen on RU-vid. You might also review the common keychain tools. That eleven can be expanded. Here are some other uses: (1) The lanyard hole can be used to bend wire. (2) The wing-nut tool can be used to wrap some string as fishing line around the tool. Keep it in place with tape. (3) The mirrored surface is small but still might work for signaling. You might test the range. (4) I've played around with the compass on several of these tools and I'd hate to depend on any of them in an emergency situation. The pointing is too uncertain. It makes more sense to carry an actual compass. Someone should create a compass with a sealed needle that is thin enough to fit in a wallet.
