KEYCHAIN POCKET & PURSE

Easy to find in the lost and found drawer. Also matches your outfit if you're a Cardinal or Santa Claus. Travel size, measures 11” collapsed and opens to a 41” dia canopy. The little black handle has a pop-open trigger button, as they do. The real beauty of this umbrella comes when you press the button a second time and the top of the umbrella collapses saving you the trouble of messing with that little metal tab. You'll still have to push the body back together to reload it, however. Needless to say we are impressed with this innovation in umbrella technology.

It's a 10-tool Swissesque military survival knife, but without those red plastic handles to break and fall off. Includes stainless steel 2-1/2" knife blade, flathead driver/bottle opener, saw blade, scissors, can opener, fish scaler/nail set, corkscrew, Phillips driver, awl, nail file and the needle-like thing for making buckskin clothes in case you're lost for years. Has a split ring to hang your keys from.

Nobody would dare vote you off the island if you have this stainless steel survival tool. Smaller than a credit card at 2-3/4" x 1-3/4", it has (11) functions: can opener, knife edge, flathead screwdriver, small ruler, bottle opener, 4-position wrench, saw blade, 2-position wrench and a couple more. Slip it into your wallet or hang it on your keychain, then go get lost.

Our smallest leather-type-person multitool is made to hang on your keychain, and we know that because it has a 1-1/4” carabiner attached to it. Measures approx 3” long x 1” x 1/2” when closed, and opens to a spring-loaded needle-ish nose pliers with wire cutter, wire stripper, knife, file, (2) slotted drivers, #0 Phillips, serrated blade/saw, nail cleaner, bottle opener and the ever-popular awl. It’ll do most of the jobs you need done. The lightweight, stainless-steel construction means it won't drag down your pack or belt. A must-have for any scout or handy-person.

Some of us here at the home office have a special devotion to Betty Boop, the cartoon cutie who made Snow White look like Pluto. Which is why we snapped up these 9" x 4-1/2" zippered pencil pouches festooned with images of Betty on the front and a genuine, faux, black-leatherette back. Has a surprise polka dot interior and no, of course you don't have to use it just for pencils. Got intellectual property worries? This is an Officially Licensed Betty Boop product.

Clip a light or driver on your pocket, because sometimes a big ol’ tool is great and other times all you need is a little one. This nice two-piece combo pack includes a sturdy 5-3/8" long LED Versa Beam® penlight-style flashlight with 2 light levels including a blinding 200 lumens hi-mode, slide focus and pocket clip. The pocket driver includes (8) precision bits, 2mm & 3mm slotted, #1 & #2 Phillips and T5-T8 Torque bits that store in the 4-3/8" knurled body and, of course a pocket clip. Set comes with (2) AAA batteries.

And if you’re doing it at night, use this cute little barrel-shaped, black and silver, 6-LED flashlight while you do it. Measures 2” tall x a tad over 1” dia with a removable fabric wrist strap. Comes complete with a pair of dead button cell batteries, but we'll include replacements because, well, that’s how much we care. We don’t want any Surpies getting lost in the dark.

It will be if you buy this bright-as-a-Phi-Beta-Kappa COB LED 3W flashlight, with a bonus red laser. Measures a mere 4-3/4" x 1-1/8" dia and comes with (3) “AAA” batteries inside, where they belong. In a knurled aluminum body of a color that we’ll pick for you (gray, black, red or blue) because who cares what color a flashlight is. (Note: flashlight and pointer can't be on at the same time.)

Four carabiners, no waiting. These are for keys and stuff, not for hanging around Mt. Everest. We'll pick a quartet of 2-3/4" x 1-3/8" carabiners in assorted vibrant anodized-aluminum colors, including black and polished silver. They open to a max of 5/8" and each has a complimentary 7/8" slip-ring at absolutely no extra charge.

It's all make-believe, but it's also the best-selling Japanese manga series of all time. (Just ask your favorite millennial—they’d be thrilled to explain it to you.) This collectible analog wristwatch features the Sailor Scouts on the colorful stained-glass watch dial, and a Moon Stick second hand. Hours are denoted by colored rhinestones on the case, and they fashionably match each member of the quintet. Leather band measures about 8-3/4”, so it should fit the wrist of most guardians of love and justice. Watch face is 1.1”, and the whole shebang is powered by an AG4 battery.

This is niftiness on a chain. This 3” x 1” x 1/2” plastic and aluminum key fob, with chain and split-ring, is a white LED flashlight. But when you pivot the metal part, you expose a pair of double screwdriver bits—small and medium flat and Phillips—that fit into a hex slot at the end opposite the light. Includes (2) easily replaced CR1220 button-cell batteries. We'll pick an attractive color, which might be orange, but also might not.

This Smith & Wesson® (yeah, that Smith & Wesson®) Men’s Tactical Watch comes in vibrant red and offers (3) modes of operation: chronograph (1/100 with split count), alarm (with hourly chime) and normal time. Large, easy to read digital display shows hours/minutes/seconds as well as day/month/year. Has an electroluminescent backlit screen for low-light conditions, and it’s water-resistant down to 50 feet. Thermoplastic band has a stainless-steel buckle and pin. Even if you’re not tactical, it’s a great watch.

Our mini keychain light looks like an elongated dime, or a little bug, and attaches via a tiny swivel and split ring to your keys. Perfect for party giveaways, or as nice little gifts to people who have to use keys at night. You know, like basically everyone. You’ll get (3) per order.

From Nite Ize®, the extra-light NextGlo™ keyholders have S-biners (double-headed carabiners) to hold your keys and clip them to something (like a pack or belt loop) while you’re on the go. Holders also have a 2-1/4" x 5/8" glow-in-the-dark, extruded X shape dangler so you can find them at night. No more fussing with split rings; these quick-change keyholders save your fingernails and your time.

Perhaps you need a silicone coin purse, or perhaps you just want one on account of their being such cute little bulbous things with their double-ball closures. Plus you can keep anything you want in it. Ours measure 4” x 3” x 1-7/8” with a metal frame and a very pleasing, smooth feel. You pick lime green or robin’s egg blue.

This small, clip-on, retractable cord reel measures just 1” dia x 3/8” thick, in black plastic over steel, with its spring clip on the back. A very thin nylon cord pulls out to reach 18-1/2”, with a closed wire loop at the end to hold a key or whatever (think: name-badge holder). Doesn’t lock open, so just pull it out and use the attachment, and it automatically retracts when you let go. We had a sixth-grade nun with one of these, but we never knew what the key was for.

And what does he dangle from? A 21” long lanyard festooned with dozens more trolls. The lanyard has a molle buckle to detach the dangling troll, and a 3” x 3-1/2” ID card holder, held together on a slip ring that is, in turn, on a slide bolt key holder. It’s a cornucopia of little holders.

Our each is a dozen unmarked anodized aluminum dog tags, 2" x 1-1/8", on a 3" ball chain. Colors include silver, gold, red, purple, blue and black. Nice for ID tags and ready to be engraved, or written on with indelible marker.
