Life’s problems may sometimes seem complex, but sometimes, all it takes is the right tool for the right job to solve them. Unfortunately, most of us are caught unprepared to face these tasks, forcing us to fumble in our bags or pockets only to realize that we don’t have the correct tool at hand. After all, it’s nearly impossible to bring with you all the tools you could possibly need wherever you go, especially for those of us who have embraced minimalist lifestyles and compact everyday carries or EDCs. Fortunately, our world is also filled with ingenious and creative people who have come face-to-face with that same feeling of helplessness, people who designed this small wonder of a multitool that can solve more than 10 daily problems but is still small enough to actually fit into the pocket of your slimmest jeans.

Ever found yourself at a loss when trying to open a package with no box cutter in sight? Or how about dying to drink that ice-cold drink but don’t have anything to open the bottle with? Every one of us has experienced the desire to have as many life-essential tools within our reach as possible, but no one wants to carry a toolbox with them everywhere. Even the so-called multitools are bulky and are sometimes even disallowed in some places, and they can’t even handle some of the basic needs we have to complete the task at hand.

The Lever Gear Edge XT was made precisely to solve this problem, providing an indispensable tool that you can keep in your pocket or even your keychain so that you’ll never be caught unprepared ever again. Despite its small size, this talented product provides 10 tools in one compact body. That includes a retractable utility blade, a quick box opener, a Phillips screwdriver, a bottle opener, a wire stripper, a flathead screwdriver, a prybar, a metric ruler, an inch ruler, and a hex bit holder. That pretty much covers every task you’ll ever face, from opening packages, cutting craft paper, fixing furniture, or popping a cold drink after a hard day’s work.

Quick and safe utility blade.

Changing blades is easy.

The Edge XT’s appeal doesn’t just come from its utility but also from its meticulous attention to detail. That blade, for example, is just a standard #11 craft blade, so you can easily remove and replace it as needed, especially to get through security checkpoints. And while that blade is super-easy to deploy and retract with just your thumb, a safety lock makes sure it stays safely in place and keeps you and your bag’s contents out of harm’s way.

With a durable 420HC stainless steel body, the Edge XT is also designed to last. Even the blade slider and lock are made from glass-reinforced nylon polymer to help them survive repeated use. And with a silver or black satin finish, the tool will look handsome in your hand or dangling from your keychain or bag. For a limited time, you can get the Edge XT for just $29 through the early bird special on Kickstarter. The Lever Gear Edge XT gives you a multi-functional workhorse to face life’s unexpected problems quickly, skillfully, and in style.
