The Gerber Artifact is a “pocket-sized companion keychain tool” that tackles seven different annoying situations you might need tools for on a daily basis. The 3.5″ (when closed) Artifact is constructed from stainless steel, with a titanium nitride coating. The Artifact includes: Philips screwdriver, two flat-head screwdrivers, bottle opener, pry bar, wire stripper and replaceable #11 hobby blades (because they always break). It also includes a lanyard, but we don’t consider that a tool or see it helping you all that often. Outside of the #11 hobby blade (think X-Acto), the tool is also TSA-compliant–just make sure you take that blade out before you get to the security line. Just be careful when you’re opening it so you don’t stab yourself in the leg.
