Snap Tool Multi-Key

Carrying around 19 different tools requires a lot of pockets. Or, if it's a Snap Tool Multi-Key from Davis Instruments, just one. Whether pleasure boating, sailboat racing or fishing, it's the one palm-sized item that will always be ready to twist, cut, pry, snap and take care of any number of needed onboard jobs.

A veritable toolbox, the patented Snap Tool Multi-Key has three metric and four SAE hex wrenches, slotted and Phillips screwdrivers, a scraper and a recessed cutting blade. Three deck plate keys open any deck fill. A shackle tool unscrews even corroded pins. The button snapper, unsnapper and zipper pull are perfect for dirty and shrunken canvas. A convenient lanyard hole allows it to be worn around the neck. And once the boat is moored, a bottle opener helps end a perfect day.

The Snap Tool Multi-Key is 2.75" wide by 4.48" long-about the size of a playing card. It's stronger and thicker than all other deck plate keys, yet only weighs 2.8 ounces. It's made from hardened 304 stainless steel for long-lived corrosion resistance. It costs $13.99.
