MeTool's pendant-sized EDC is one of the smallest and most versatile multitools you can get - Yanko Design

"An everyday carry tool, colloquially EDC, is only useful and actually worth its weight in gold when the device is built to be convenient to carry and use. The Dark Fire 2.0 is easily the most apt to the idea. It is a pendent, a key chain, or a clip slightly more than the size of a coin, but versatile enough to put many more detailed, hefty and space-consuming EDCs to shame."

"MeTool, the team of creators behind the multitool, have designed the new pendant EDC based on the predecessor, which was a similar tool but with lesser versatility and a go-getter attitude. The idea of this concealed but useful device stands out primarily for two reasons: the tool remains unnoticed until the exact moment you need it, and when you do, it can transition from a simple pendant into four different tools including a pen, screw driver, prier, and a glow light."

"It is made from a solid one-piece of precision-machined titanium and features an interesting rotary quick-release structure with tritium slots. The Dark Fire 2.0 body when twisted, opens up to reveal its true worth which is more than a pendant. Inside its 4 mm bit storage cavity hides a screw driver, a pry bar and a pen tip. And when the quick-release top is twisted, you can install the pen tip or replace it with the screw driver and get the work done instantaneously."

The Dark Fire 2.0 is a pendant-sized everyday carry (EDC) that functions as a pendant, key chain, or clip slightly larger than a coin. It converts into four tools — a pen, screwdriver, pry bar, and a glow light — when needed. The body is a single piece of precision-machined titanium with a rotary quick-release and tritium slots. A 4 mm bit storage cavity hides the screwdriver, pry bar, and pen tip; the quick-release top allows instant installation or replacement of bits. MeTool markets the device as compact, concealed, and versatile for tasks like marking floor plans, tightening laptop screws, or opening cans. The product is crowdfunding, priced at $39 on preorder (29% off $55), and has raised over $27,000.
