Tools and Hardware Reviews of Gerber 22-01769 Shard Keychain Tool
Customer Review: Adequate bottle opener, unique on keyring, poor with other functions.
Summary: 1 Stars
I agree word for word with the recent review by amost6.
The bottle opener is OK, and this is a small and "cute" thing to hang on your keyring. But that's about it. Screwdrivers are practically useless; "wire stripper" is a joke. Philips screwdriver is sharp enough to poke you through your pocket, but not shaped well enough to be useful.
If you want a well-made, serious version of this tool, which may have been the inspiration for the Shard, check out the Atwood Prybaby. The Piranha Pocket Tool is a slightly larger version with more "wrenches". Warning - you'll pay for the quality on these tools - something like 7X-10X the cost of the Shard. There are other similar, well-made, expensive options available if you dig into some "EDC" (EveryDay Carry) sites.
If you're looking for something FAR more useful and only SOMEWHAT more expensive, get a Leatherman Micra. You can even remove the knife blade if you want to take it on a plane. Also, the Micra's version of a flattened Philips driver is somehow much more functional than the Shard's, even though it's shaped even less like a real Philips screwdriver.
If a tiny, non-bottle-opening keyring tool is more your thing, check out the Leatherman Style or classic swiss army knife.
If you want useful screwdrivers in a tool you can take on a plane, Swiss Tech has a few inexpensive options, including: small and simple (Swiss+Tech 75-58355 Screwz-All 4-in-1 Keyring Tool) and larger, with little pliers (Swiss Tech MMCSSS Micro-Max 19-in-1 KeyChain MultiTool).
Any of these would be much more useful than the Shard, without the risk of poking you through your pocket.
