Nexus Fountain Pen

A good tool can free you to really focus on any activity — inspiring and enabling you instead of getting in your way — and writing with a fountain pen is no exception. The Nexus Fountain Pen connects you to your writing, functioning as a powerful writing tool that strips away unnecessary functionality so you can focus on your work. Made from either aluminum or titanium (and available in black or silver), it has enough heft to keep it balanced and comfortable, while making it durable enough to last for years. With an ergonomic form, and the ability to refill using standard cartridges, a twist converter, or a bottle converter, it's the ideal writing tool for when you just want to focus on your words.

Prometheus Dog Tag Tool

We hesitate to tell anyone to wear dog tags that they haven't earned, but respect for our military aside, the Prometheus Dog Tag Tool is useful enough for us to wear it regardless. Made in the Bay Area from titanium and stainless steel, this versatile tool offers a "universal" closed end wrench that works with both standard and metric bolts, a quarter-inch bit driver, a battery bay driver, and, of course, a bottle opener.

Worx Aerocart

Whether or not you want to admit it, summer is winding down to a close -- and that means it's time to get finished all those projects you've been putting off until now. But serious work calls for serious tools, which is why you need the Worx Aerocart. Transforming into a wheelbarrow, a dolly, or a hand cart, this beast is no one-trick pony. With tires that won't go flat, and steel construction ready to handle up to a 300-pound load, it's the ideal tool when you need to move anything from bags of mulch to your new washer-dryer.

Nitecore Sens Mini Flashlight

Ever wonder how much power your flashlight might be wasting throwing its full beam at objects that are only a few feet away? The Nitecore Sens Mini Flashlight does not suffer from this problem. Sporting a Cree LED capable of putting out 170 lumens, this tiny light measures less than two and a half inches long, and uses an accelerometer to figure out the angle you're holding it at, and thus how bright to make the light — less power when it's aimed down and you're trying to find your keys, more power when it's aimed horizontally and you're trying to figure out what's making all that noise in the bushes. It also features a waterproof, military-grade hard anodized aluminum alloy body, three brightness levels, a runtime of 14 hours (thanks to its intelligent dimming), and the ability to be used with only one hand or attached to a keychain, so that you'll never be without a light.

Tool Pen

Forget keeping a drawer full of screwdrivers — you can replace them all with a single Tool Pen. Inspired by "Pop-A-Point" rainbow pens, this sleek tool is made from 6061 aluminum, and holds up to six bits, with a window on the side to show which ones are inside. Another seven bits — 13 total, including slotted, Phillips, hex, and star bits — are included in the set, and all of them can be swapped out by pulling on the tip of the first bit and sliding the new one into the hole at the back. And lest you lose the stylish cap, there's a powerful magnet built-in that keeps it securely in place until you're ready to use it again.

Gerber Ding Dong Breaching Tool

Yes, it has a rather silly name, but there's nothing silly about the utility you'll find in the Gerber Ding Dong Breaching Tool. Built in Portland, this versatile, lightweight tool is designed for getting through doors quickly — hence the name — and combines a cross-hatched sledgehammer, a battering ram, and a pry bar all into a single piece, with a durable fiberglass handle and a plate that mounts to MOLLE gear, securely snapping into place until you're ready for your next home invasion rescue mission.

Titan Multi-Tool Collar Stays

Making the best out of every bit of space on you is an important principle of the everyday carry philosophy — making sure that each thing you choose to bring with you when you leave the house serves a purpose. And with Titan Multi-Tool Collar Stays you can take that one step further, turning something with a singular purpose into something truly useful. These collar stays pack a wealth of tools into a small piece, including screwdrivers, rulers, a thread cutter, and a bottle opener. Made to fit most collars, from spread to semi-spread, and built from lightweight, TSA-friendly titanium, you'll never have an excuse not to carry everything you need with you again.

Tik Keychain

We all know that bundles of keys can take up a ton of space in your pocket or bag — but if you think about it, it's not really the keys themselves that take up all the room. It's the top of the keys, and the way the are meant to sit back-to-front. The Tik Keychain rethinks this situation, placing the blades — you know, the important parts — on a bicycle chain, allowing them to fold up small and stay thin while still giving you full accessibility when it's time to open a door.

Klax

Your standard woodsman's axe is already a great survival tool — capable of plenty more than just getting wood ready for a fire — but the Klax line of axes take it just another step further. Available in several models, each with a range of built-in tools, these axe heads sport a hammer head, an axe blade, hex wrenches, a bit drive socket, a ruler, and much more. And with their proprietary clamping system, they're a breeze to take on and off of any handle, letting you stow them away when you're on the move. Thanks to their stainless steel construction, you know they'll last for years without breaking or tarnishing, so you won't be left up a creek when you really need them.

Made in Bristol, Tennessee from quality materials, they measure 39" long and 28" wide, and offer two patch pockets as well as machine washability. Available in four colorways, including blue denim, white drill, hickory stripe, or, for the outdoorsman, woodland camp.

Carbonlite Carbon Fiber Wrenches

Quit running back-and-forth to the tool box and instead keep your entire set of wrenches on you with a set of Carbonlite Carbon Fiber Wrenches. Made in the USA from 3/8" high-strength carbon fiber, these durable wrenches feature stainless steel teeth, both standard and metric sizes on the same wrench — 3/8", 7/16", ½", 9/16", and 5/8" and 10mm, 12mm, 13mm, 14mm, and 15mm, respectively — and weigh just 6.7 oz in total, or less than a large steel wrench weighs on its own.

Rotring 800+ Mechanical Pencil Stylus

Logosol M8 Sawmill

There's nothing quite like the feeling of building with timber you have sawn yourself — whether you're building a new deck for your home, a log hunting cabin, or a tree house — from choosing a tree, to felling it, to milling it down to usable boards. And with the Logosol M8 Sawmill, milling your own timber has never been easier or more convenient.

Fiskars Quantum Pruner

The name sounds so exciting, and then you get to the last word. And while it's true that pruning bushes, stems, and flowers isn't exactly the most exciting way to pass the time, it's also true that the Fiskars Quantum Pruner is among the best ways to do it. Capable of handling growths up to 1 inch in diameter, it also features adjustable tension that adapts to your hand strength and the material, a precision-ground European steel blade with a coating that keeps it from getting covered with sap, and a lightweight aluminum handle with comfortable — and sustainable — cork pads.

MacGyver Tool Kit

Most tool kits include things like screwdrivers, knives, sockets, wrenches, and other things to help you put stuff together and/or tear it apart. The MacGyver Tool Kit is different. Like its name suggests, it's filled with common items that can be used to fix a wide range of problems, from stopping a leak to building a homemade rocket. Okay, so we're not so sure about that one, but we are sure you can find something to do with the bobby pin, match, rubber band, bubble gum, birthday candle, paper clip, and other "tools" you'll inside.

With spring just around the corner, it's time to start thinking about getting your long-neglected yard in shape — before you know it, all sorts of green stuff, some of which you don't want to see, will be coming up from the ground.

Its straight shaft is ergonomic and comfortable, with an integrated trigger that makes trimming comfortable, while dual lines and a 12-inch cutting swath makes any job easier.

Why go out and shovel your own driveway when you can get a robot to do it for you? Like an all-weather outdoor Roomba, this Robot Snow Plow takes care of an unpleasant chore while you relax. This six-wheeled unit is powered by six 127 RPM motors, and features an aluminum chassis, a Spektrum DSMX DX6i remote control, 13" tiller tires, 80W headlights for visibility even in the dark, two 55 amp batteries, and a 52" wide plow blade that can make short work of even the longest patches of pavement.

Whether you're prepping for the eventual downfall of humanity, you're a serious survivalist looking for an addition to your bug-out bag, or you're just a collector of bizarre weaponry, you need the Survival Slingshot. This multipurpose weapon accommodates normal slingshot balls, as well as full-size arrows — thanks to its folding whisker biscuit — so you can target shoot, bow fish, and hunt small game. Its rail system allows it to hold an included flashlight, as well as a range of additional attachments, while a compass and a waterproof storage area make it a versatile tool for handling the toughest situations nature throws your way.
