Today I Learned That Zippo Makes EDC Multitools Too - Yanko Design

"You look at certain companies and just instantly a product comes to mind. When you hear the word Yamaha, the vast population thinks 'Motorcycles', when you hear Bose, you think 'Speakers', and when you hear Zippo, you instantly think of 'Lighters'. Well, Yamaha also makes some top-notch pianos, Bose has an entire flourishing division of shock-absorbing truck seats, and Zippo also happens to make EDC tools! Meet the Zippo Bit Safe Screwdriver Insert - a multitool designed to fit inside your lighter. The company basically looked at its iconic lighter and thought, 'Hey, what if we developed modules for it?' To that end, the Bit Safe Screwdriver Insert is a 4-bit multitool that fits right into your standard Zippo lighter case."

"Flip it open and instead of the flame or the burner, you're greeted with a screwdriver that you can then use to tighten and loosen stuff, repair gadgets, and be a total tinkerer. The insert works intuitively, and doesn't have any igniting abilities, which means this might be the only Zippo you can carry into an airport! Designer: Zippo"

"Now I'm not entirely sure what makes a man cooler - whipping out a lighter, or whipping out a screwdriver and fixing something... but Zippo has both those grounds covered. The Bit Safe Screwdriver Insert is a nifty EDC module that attaches into any spare Zippo case you may have lying around. It's compatible with all Zippo Classic cases, as per the website, and provides storage for 3 bits, along with a mounting bracket for 1 bit. A magnetic insert holds all the bits in place, and to get working, all you need to do is just flip the lighter open and get rotating."

The Bit Safe Screwdriver Insert converts a standard Zippo lighter case into a compact, four-bit multitool that nests inside the lighter shell. The insert flips open to present a screwdriver for tightening, loosening, and small repairs without any igniting capability, making it permissible in some restricted zones. The module fits existing Zippo Classic cases, stores three bits plus one mounted bit, and uses a magnetic insert to hold bits securely. The insert can be removed to use as a flat-grip driver and clicks back into the case for regular carry.
