Nite Ize DoohicKey Ratchet Key Tool - Keychain Multitool with Carabiner Clip - Pocket Tool with Ruler, Bottle Opener, Wrenches, Pry Tool, Scoring Point & Ratchet

Super compact, very affordable, best option I have found to have a bit ratchet on hand while on the go. The bits and the ratchet have worked great for me. A great addition to the travel kit to save the day.

Perfect to carry every day. Works well for a light duty ratchet/ bit driver. Good quality and well made. I haven't had any bad products from m them.

Purchased for using on snowboard bindings on the mountain. It didn't work well for that application. I could not put down force pressure on the tool without the bit slipping out. Hard to use with cold fingers. Solid tool construction, just not right for my application.

I bought this because I like having a small screwdriver handy, but I use the pry bar even more! I think this will be the family stocking stuffer this year!

Overall this is a great idea and a reasonable execution.. However there are a few changes I think they could make that would improve it significantly.The pry bar end is so close to the ratchet mechanism that if you use it to pry you often put pressure on that mechanism. While I haven't had a break yet, I can't imagine it's good for it.The bits have a small spring loaded ball bearing in them to hold them in while using as a ratchet. This is a great feature but it also means that using any other bit they tend to fall out. Perhaps a retention mechanism in the ratchet itself rather than the bit.The ruler markings on mine were so faint that at 1st I didn't even think mine had them. Not a huge issue for me as I doubt I will ever use this as a ruler but it is something that could be easily changed.Lastly, and this is more of a comment about all Pocket Tools and not specifically this one. Why do they all have bottle openers? While I do occasionally enjoy a beverage that requires a bottle opener, every tool I own comes with one so there is always one around. You can use the caribbeaner on this as a bottle opener so it has 2... That extra space could have been used for another feature.

I bring this to work every day. I use the scrapper tool the most with this multi tool. I have the Gerber Gear Key Note, it is more of a 1" knife than a scrapper. I do find this is better for my use of scrapping. I like the ratcheting bit driver part, it is a bonus for me. For additional bits than what comes are the Klien double end with ball retention. I also have the Ozarktrail Multiforce and its bit extension works best for two reasons. The first reason is because it has the ball retention to be received in the ratchet. The second is because it is designed to receive double ended bits with ball retention on the female end so the bits fit in perfectly. Other magnetic bit extensions are for single ended bits and fit fine; but double ended bits will not work. You can use a standard bit extension with the standard bit though. For this tool I prefer the double ended bit setup I have.

I carry this on the key ring as one of two tools. The bit/ratchet feature came in handy a few times already. The whole construction is sturdy, but I would still be cautious of putting too much weight or strain on the mechanical pieces as they are fairly small and do not have the same strength or ratings such as full size tools and equipment with the same functions.

This is hanging with my carry on bag collection of airport-friendlies alongside the original version (the Plus includes a short serrated blade, so it's in a separate EDC collection). This appears plenty sturdy, so I expect there's a great chance it'll come in handy sooner than later for some sudden impromptu need for a quick fix.
