A “toolbox” has come out of the wallet! A titanium card-shaped multi-tool packed with “11 functions”

Attractive in appearance, the "titanium card-type multi-tool." It's just right for those "quick tasks" like when a bottle cap is too tight, a screw is slightly loose, or you want to open a package that arrived.

In an era where a "toolbox" is discreetly carried in your wallet

approximately 82×53mm and about 2.5mm thick, the "TINEXA CARD ONE" is here. Weighing only about 25g, this thin card includes features such as a cap opener, bottle opener, pull tab opener, pry bar, Phillips screwdriver, flathead screwdriver, hex bit holder, cardboard cutter, tag remover, a 6cm scale, and a simple smartphone stand, totaling 11 types of tools. This is just too packed...!

Not only is it multifunctional, but the appeal lies in how all the functions cater to everyday little inconveniences. It doesn't have pliers or a saw, but instead, it's specialized for those common situations where you just need to "do something" while out and about. It’s not as serious as a toolbox, but you don’t want to go empty-handed... This card-type tool fits right into that gap.

There are three ways to "open" it.

Surprisingly, the "opening" function seems to be quite frequently used. The cap opener accommodates diameters of about 10-32mm and can be used when twisting off hard plastic bottle caps. For bottles, there is a bottle opener. For can pull tabs, there is a pull tab opener. Moreover, a pry bar can even be used to pry open can lids.

When we say "open," the necessary shape changes depending on what we're dealing with. Instead of settling for one large hole, the shapes are divided based on their specific uses. Whether you want to open a bottle while camping or encounter a hard cap during your regular shopping, what you end up looking for is not a tool but your wallet. Tools like this might be more important for being "there when needed" rather than how often they are used.

Noticing a loose screw while out. I want to cut the tag off the clothes I bought right there. I can hold off until I get home, but it would be quicker to do it on the spot. The "CARD ONE" comes with simple plus and minus screwdrivers, as well as a holder that can attach commercially available hex bits.

On the opposite side, there’s a box cutter and tag remover. It’s not a substitute for dedicated tools, but it covers a wide range of situations where it’s not worth going to get tools. Additionally, it is equipped with a 6cm scale and a simple smartphone stand. It accommodates smartphones up to about 12mm thick, so you can quickly prop it up just for watching videos. A 25g plate transforms into a tool only when needed. The card, which usually lies quietly in your pocket, helps resolve little issues.

Solving problems with the weight of a single AA battery.

Even if it has 11 functions, it makes no sense if the tool you carry every day is heavy. The chosen material is titanium. While keeping the weight to about 25g, it has 11 functions machined from a sheet about 2.5mm thick using CNC processing. Since it is designed to fit into a wallet, the edges have been beveled for a smooth finish. Of course, there are also finely processed parts like the cardboard cutter, so caution is required when handling it.

"If only I had a screwdriver right now" or "Where did I put the bottle opener?" seem to come up unexpectedly. Storing a card the size of a single AAA battery in your wallet, you anticipate those unexpected moments with 11 functions. CARD ONE might not be so much about making the tools smaller, but rather installing a little problem-solving capability in your hands.
