PC Toolkit for Your Pocket

I'm on my second CyberTool. (The first was lost, along with my luggage, by Delta.) I absolutely love it. It won't change your life; you probably already have a toolset. The CyberTool's screwdriver is off center and this makes it annoying to turn. A pair of inexpensive needlenose pliers does a better job than the included pliers. And I find the thought of using the toothpick as intended to be utterly disgusting.

So with all these caveats, why have I owned two? Because it is so easy to have around. I leave it out on my desk and reach for it constantly — my fully stocked toolbox in the closet never gets touched. It has a good selection of bits for most applications (although they should have included at least one smaller Torx driver). In the last month, I've used it to open my PowerBook for a memory upgrade, gain access to a stubborn remote control's battery compartment, slice through an untold number of letters and packages, remove a tiny ingrown hair, and to escape certain death by drowning by using the can opener as a hook to unlock the door to a room that was being filled with water. (Oh wait, never mind, that was a MacGyver rerun.)
