B5 Network - Tech, Gadgets and Weird Things

Oh no! You suddenly need a job done that requires tools that noone in their right mind has on them. What are you gonna do?

Well, having all of the tools with you is exactly what made Swiss knives so popular. Some people like to be ready in the event of any occasion (even if they wouldn’t have a slightest idea what to do in the case of that event).

There’s a problem though - you might forget it at home. A solution that’s just dumb enough to work. Carry the tools in your wallet. I mean, if you leave your wallet, you’re pretty much screwed anyway, so you won’t even remember about the tools, right?

Stupid jokes aside, the Swiss Card is like a credit card edition of the popular Swiss Knife. It’s only 4mm thick (that’s about 2 or 3 credit cards put together), yet inside it has a knife,scissors, a ruler (cm & inches), a stainless steel pin, a toothpick, a ballpoint pen, a nail file and a screwdriver. Pretty impressive - it has all the tools that you could possibly (though it’s unlikely that you would) need.

The Swiss Card costs £14.95 (30$). I don’t remember the exact prices for Swiss Knives, but from what I can recall, they are far more expensive. You can get one here.
