I’ve used an $8 gerber shard keychain tool for over 10 years.
It opens cardboard boxes, pries open covers, cuts strings, and drives the occasional screw. All without worrying about losing a Swiss army or leatherman, and it’s airport and government building friendly which is big for me.

- Ajedi32 5y ago> opens cardboard boxes [...] cuts strings How does that work? I looked it up and it doesn't seem like it has a knife. (Not that you'd want something that sharp in your pocket unprotected anyway.)
- showerst 5y agoThe little “v notch” that they call a wire cutter is sharp enough to go through packing tape. Not sharp enough to bother you though, any more than a house key on the same ring. It’s not a tool I’d use to break down 1000 boxes a day, but it’s fine for an Amazon box or two.
- TMWNN 5y agoFor the same reason I keep a Swiss+Tech ST53100 Multitool on my keys. It's as long as a key, and like your tool it doesn't have a blade so is airport- and government building-safe.
