See more Review: Everyone should have one - Contrary to some other reviewers, I think this little tool hits the mark for every one of its advertised uses. Moreover, it's truly keychain-ready: I weighed the key of my truck (just a regular key, not a fancy one with remote keyless entry built in) and my key weighed 17.9 grams. The Gerber Shard weighed 20 grams. And, the truck key is just a tad longer than the Shard. So, it really is something you'll use and carry, not something to lay aside somewhere and not be able to find when you need it, or keep in the console of your vehicle where it isn't always at hand. That's significant because you can find dozens and dozens of multi-tools (I own several, in fact) but if they're not with you and you're going to have to go get them, you might as well just go get the actual purpose-designed tool from your toolbox and forget the multi-tool. Okay, so how does the Shard work: 1. Wire-stripper: reasonably well if you understand that the best technique for using it is to press it straight down into the insulation just until you feel it contact the conductor part of the wire, then withdraw the tool, turn the wire over, repeat at a different position to score the insulation all the way around, and then slide the insulation off using your fingernail to slide it off, not the tool, to avoid damaging the wire. (If this is hard to visualize just think of how an actual wire stripper removes insulation and use this tool to perform the same type of action.) The people who claim this doesn't work as a wire-stripper may be trying to whittle the insulation off with it, which isn't how you strip insulation off wire unless you want to damage the actual conductor. Also given the size of the tool you're probably limited to no bigger than AWG 12 wire or so. But, you know what, if you're rewiring your barn you might want to invest in an actual wire stripper that has special places to strip each gauge. The Shard is for those times when you need to put a new plug on a lamp or extension cord and you don't have all your other tools around. And, I know it works for that exact repair because I did it, using no other tool but the Shard as both a wire stripper and screwdriver. Screwdrivers (3): better than some on advanced multi-tools owing to the small size and maneuverability of this compact item. You can not get a monstrous amount of leverage though for the same reason, so it's not going to work if the screw is super tight. The Shard's Phillips driver worked great for tightening some loose screws on a family member's screen door. Also very appropriate for minor electronic repair, such as removing the case from a computer. Flathead drivers (2) give a nice sizing variety and seem to fit a lot of commonly-seen screws. Bottle opener: pretty straightforward, no complaints. Does tend to distort the cap some on some bottles so it's sometimes better to use the opener in two different positions, making it a two-step operation. Minor issue, for certain. Prying: works great as long as the size of this tool gives you adequate leverage. Way better (and safer) than messing up your knives or screwdrivers by using them to pry. Lanyard hole: okay, calling this a "use" of the tool, as Gerber does, may be a stretch, but this ability to slip it right on your keychain is what makes it so valuable. Maybe they should replace the hole with a standard or metric wrench size/shape and then you have a bona fide seventh use, plus it doubles as a lanyard hole. In the overall picture, every single claimed function of this tool works great - and it's the size and weight of a key, and only costs a few bucks. The Gerber Shard is an outstanding, worthy little tool that everyone should own. Review: Does What I Need and Then Some - Your opinion of this product may well be dictated by what you intend on using it for and how well it performs that task (or tasks). For me, I was looking for a bottle opener that I could carry on my key chain, as there have been several instances where I've needed one but one wasn't at hand. With that in mind, my expectations were pretty low about how useful this item would be but I would say that it has exceeded my expectations. If you've ever found yourself in one of those "oh, if only I had this or that, I could fix it" situations (and who hasn't) then you may well find this "tool" useful. I hesitate to call it a tool outright because it's not exactly going to find it's way into every professional contractor's toolbox (or pocket) but it certainly has it's uses for a variety of day-to-day tasks (although by the basic dictionary definition it is a tool). In terms of what I wanted to use it for, bottle opening, it performs well enough. It's just about long enough to give you adequate leverage and while it might not be the cleanest at removing tops, or the most elegant, it works. What makes me appreciate this tool more though are the other uses. I've already used the screwdriver heads (both Phillips and flat) and they work well enough if you're caught in a situation without access to a real screwdriver. I'd mirror the mild complaints about the flat head screwdrivers not being quite right, as the primary function of those two heads is as a pry-bar. As such they seem a little off-kilter when screwing with. I'm not so taken with the Phillips head but perhaps I just haven't found the sweet spot in terms of screw head size that it works with. I was thinking it might be useful for removing battery compartments from toys but I've had limited success (I've actually had more success with the flat heads for that task even with Phillips head screws). Other reviews have praised the usefulness of the Phillips head screwdriver so I'll give it the benefit of the doubt. I haven't used the pry-bar feature yet but opening cans of paint immediately springs to mind. I very much doubt I'd be using this to strip wires (I make a bad job of that with the best of tools) but again I suppose you never know when you might need it (and let's face it, if it's a situation where you get to show off your hidden MacGyver talents who wouldn't be up for that?). Calling the lanyard hole a "use" is pushing it a bit in my opinion but nevertheless, the large hole does make it easy to attach to your key chain. I had concerns that I might be stabbing myself regularly in the thigh while carrying this thing in my pocket but that has proved unfounded so far, I don't know the thing is there (until I actually need it of course). Overall the product seems well made; the black finished steel gives me a sense that it's durable and will stand the test of time. It's not overly bulky (3/4" or 2cm longer than my longest key, at about 2.75" or 7cms long), just the right size to be useable even with sausage fingers and weighty enough that it doesn't feel like it's about to snap without feeling excessively heavy. I certainly don't look at the product and feel that anything destined to break on it any time soon (like you sometimes do with cheap pocket knives). I'm a little skeptical that I'd get this thing past airport security without a fuss but I have no first-hand experience of that yet. Perhaps if I offer to open a bottle of beer for them I'll be good to go. I'm happy with my purchase but as I said, my expectations were low because I was really only interested in one particular feature and so it was perhaps easier for my expectations to be exceeded. ## Features - 7-IN-1 KEYCHAIN AND MULTI-TOOL: Features a pry bar, bottle opener, small flathead driver, medium flathead driver, wire stripper, cross driver, and lanyard hole - SURVIVAL GEAR AND EQUIPMENT: Made of stainless steel with titanium nitride coating for corrosion resistance, a lightweight keychain multi-tool that can conveniently travel with you; Airline safe - LIGHTWEIGHT DESIGN: Weighing less than 1 oz, this solid state multi-tool is light enough to carry on your keychain, but tough and durable enough for everyday use - WORKSITE AND CAMPING ACCESSORIES: Great for any hunter, tradesman, and the everyday carry; Perfect addition to camping essentials, backpacking gear, your toolbox, work wear, and fishing and hiking gear - CONVENIENT SIZE: 2.75" length; <1 oz weight; Backed by the Gerber Guarantee, a limited lifetime warranty - Lightweight and airline safe - Titanium nitride coating for corrosion resistance - Perfect size with the basics to carry anywhere - Includes: small and medium flat driver; Philips head driver - Includes: wire stripper, pry bar, bottle opener, lanyard hole ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B002ZK45IQ | | Best Sellers Rank | #16,035 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #39 in Multitools | | Brand Name | Gerber | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (5,218) | | Drive System | External Tool Design | | Folded Size | 0.01 inches | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00013658017696 | | Included Components | GERBER SHARD KEYCHAIN TOOL | | Item Type Name | Keychain Tool | | Item Weight | 0.02 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Gerber | | Manufacturer Part Number | 22-01769 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | Limited Warranty | | Material Type | Stainless Steel | | Model Number | 22-01769 | | Number of Pieces | 7 | | UPC | 634392930661 803982905550 013658017696 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Gerber - **Color:** Black - **Included Components:** GERBER SHARD KEYCHAIN TOOL - **Item Weight:** 0.02 Pounds - **Material:** Stainless Steel ## Images ![Gear Shard Keychain - Multitool Keychain with Bottle Opener, Screwdriver, and Wire Stripper - EDC Gear and Equipment - Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81szodoguqL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can you take this through airport security?** A: Mine was confiscated at Kuwait City airport. All tools, no matter the size or shape, are prohibited in carry-ons there. **Q: As a beer bottle opener, can this open a bottle with a single pry? My current one CANNOT and I would like to replace it with something that can.** A: Yes it can. I have a lot of "practice" opening beer bottles. Probably much better than most keychain bottle openers but not like a full size bottle opener. It is adequate for a keychain tool opener but smaller than traditional openers. **Q: First time poster, long time reader. I hate biting into my oranges to peel them. Is the shard an effective alternative orange opening device?** A: Maybe... The tip isn't all that sharp, but I've used it to cut open boxes sealed with packing tape. You probably could use this to cut open the orange peel, but I'm sure a knife would be more effective. **Q: Is this a can opener or just a bottle cap opener?** A: All prior answers are simply lacking enough detail. Yes: in a pinch, this can absolutely be used to open cans. Now, there are many types of cans, but here's some details: - If you are referring to beverage cans + The pry bar can fit under the tab if you cannot pull it with your fingertips/fingernails + The piercing tip of the Phillips-head can easily pierce the side of an aluminium can > Usage for draining into a cup > Usage for "shotgunning" beers (can easily and quickly create a hole in the bottom-side of the can) - If you are referred to canned food + You can work the bottle opener around the rim, piercing the top lid 20-30 times + The Phillips-head comes quite sharp and pointy, and it could likely be used to pierce a can as needed (to drain, or to open around the edge of the lid) + There are certainly easier options, but this is so easy to carry with you any time you are away from home (since it is designed to be on your key-chain) and you may rely on this use when you don't have something better ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Everyone should have one *by K***D on October 16, 2015* Contrary to some other reviewers, I think this little tool hits the mark for every one of its advertised uses.
