Tool Review: DCI Travel Tools Keychain

Key Features:
 +   Very lightweight
 +   Fits on a keychain
 -    Over-priced


This set of keychain screwdrivers may be seen by some as a gimmick gift or novelty gift, but the DCI Travel Tools Keychain can come in handy more often than you might think.  The set comes with two small screwdrivers, each about the size of a key -- one slotted and one Phillips -- and a keychain.  Each driver weighs about the same as a key, too, so you won't notice any added weight.  You can carry them with your keys and forget about them until you need them.

If you're someone that always likes to have a screwdriver within reach, then you'll like the DCI set.  The drivers are small, but the tips are sturdy and hold up to moderate use.  The handles of the drivers are wider than the shafts, providing for a little bit of added room to grip.  If you have a really heavy keychain, then you might need to remove the drivers from your keychain in order to use them, but otherwise you can just pull your keychain out of your pocket when needed and start turning a screw.

The DCI Travel Tools Keychain can be purchased on DCIGift.com for $6, which is slightly over-priced, especially considering that you can get a good pocket multi screwdriver for less than that.  Amazon.com also lists this set, but it's currently out of stock.
