GerberGear Mullet Keychain - Multi-Tool Keychain with Pry Bar, Bottle Opener, and Wire Stripper - EDC Gear and Equipment - Black

Ex-firefighter and current teacher here. Prior to teaching, I always carried a multitool on me, but carrying something with a blade into a school is frowned upon. So I purchased this from a brand I trust. It’s a great size, but like a tank, and has come in handy in more situations than I expected. The side of the pry tip is sharp enough to open taped boxes. The finish is unique and durable. My only complaint is that the pry tip does curve away from the the pocket clip, which sticks out just enough to catch your pocket on things that could lead to damage to your pants. I haven’t had this happen yet, but it’s probably a matter of time. All in all, worth it for a solid tool that’s safe in places you can’t take a knife or standard multitool.Another note:The tool is the Chonk, not the “Shard XL.” I’m not sure why it is marketed this way.

The Gerber Gear Shard 7-in-1 is a compact, versatile tool that delivers excellent functionality in a small, portable design. With seven essential tools, including a bottle opener, pry bar, flathead screwdriver, and more, it’s perfect for everyday carry or outdoor adventures. The build quality is solid, and it’s incredibly durable, making it ideal for a variety of tasks. Its sleek, minimalistic design fits comfortably on a keychain, making it easy to have on hand when needed. A must-have for anyone looking for a reliable multi-tool that won’t take up much space!

Overall: This keychain tool is pretty useful. Its got a lot of function, but the bottle opener will likely get the most use. The material feels really sturdy. This tool is as slim as a standard key, but sticks out a bit with a little curve on the end for the flathead screwdriver. For less than $10 bucks, this is an awesome addition to my keychain. This IS NOT a Leatherman. Its NOT a swiss army knife. Don't expect it to be able to fit every screw in your house or use it to pry open a bank vault. It is what its advertised to be, all the functions work well (haven't tried wire stripper). Be realistic on what you will get out of this. I see a lot of reviews where people complain that it didn't fit some screw etc. If you are doing home repairs, use a real screwdriver set. If you want to have something on your keys to open beers, tighten an occasional screw or pry off a lid, this little guy will be your friendDetailed ReviewBottle opener: very stable, so much better than those free ones the you get from beer companies. No problems opening any bottles, even the annoying hard to open Modelo bottles. I don't foresee this opener breaking like all the little cheapies do. Its also slimmer than those little bottle openers, which is nice when you don't want a thick wad in your pocket.Screwdrivers: Phillips head is the best one, its got a little length to it, so lets you work with the deeper screws nicely. The two flathead screwdrivers are decent, and I was able to turn a nice amount of screws with them. However, neither set will work with every screw you have. Think about your screwdriver set, you have about 6 sizes for each shape.Pry Bar: pretty strong for how small it is. It'll do jobs bigger than you expect, like opening a can of paint with no problem. A little awkward to use at first because you may be worried it'll snap, but it surprised me.Wire Stripper: Look okay, I haven't tried it, I can't imagine that it'll blow me away, and it looks like you would need to be very patient to use this feature.Keychain hole: I thought it looked huge at first, but I will say that its pretty great. The size allows it to more freely on any keychain.EXTRA USE: Its not listen, but with the two flat head screwdrivers being being on a curved end of the tool and being a little sharp, you can use it as a tiny fork. I would never try to eat a full meal with it, but if you are in a bind, it will definitely do the trick. Got a hot piece of meat on the grill that you don't want to burn yourself on and your grill tools aren't next to you? Yes you can. Warning: How clean is it in your pocket?

To date, I have bought/acquired three of these wonderful little tools. I gave one to my cousin, one to my (ex)wife, and have kept the original for myself. Honestly, I'm probably going to buy a few more (sister, brother-in-law...)The bottle opener is perfect. It doesn't chip the edge of the glass bottle's mouth when you pop the cap off (this is one of my pet peeves! I don't want to drink shards of glass!!!) The phillips head screw driver is quite pointy. I've been working in I.T. for 25 years, I've used all types and brands of screwdrivers, and I'm here to tell you that this has one of the best laptop-sized phillips head screwdrivers available. I honestly use this tool first when I'm opening a laptop that has stripped/goobered screw heads.The pry tool is on the thinner side, which makes it more usable than other pocket pry tools on the market. If you've ever been picking at a container with your fingernails and just can't quite get it open, this is where this tool shines. It can slip into the same small edges/cracks that your fingernail can, but it's made of steel, so you can absolutely twist and wrench on whatever annoying container you have that refuses to open.This is a small, smooth tool, so if(WHEN) you get one for yourself, it lives most comfortably attached to something else (a lanyard, a bit of paracord, a keychain, etc.) As far as small pocket sized tools go, this one is a very tiny king.
