Kickstarter: The Atom, a Multi-Purpose Keychain Tool

The Atom is a new unibody multi-purpose keychain tool that has been presented on Kickstarter for funding. It features screwdriver tips that can work triple duty as package openers and a pry bar, a bottle opener, 1/4″, 5/16″, and 3/8″ hex wrenches, a ruler scale, rough protractor with 45° graduations, coarse and fine-cut filing surfaces, and a finger-safe cardboard and soft wood saw.

The Atom multi-tool is made from stainless steel (440C) that is injection molded and then heat treated for strength and durability. All markings are laser etched.

You can pledge $10 for the silver Atom, $15 for the black finished Atom, $25 for both, $60 for a 5-pack, or $100 for a 10-pack. USA shipping is $6 for the 1- and 2-Atom packs, and is included in the other multi packs.

Update: the pledge pricing has changed – it’s now $15 plus $6 shipping for a single Atom, and the 2-packs, 5-packs, and 10-packs are no longer available.

ETA is July 2013.

Pledge Now(via Kickstarter)

At the time of this posting, 1,102 backers pledged $23,628 of the $40,000 goal. If the $40,000 is not reached by 6/20/13, then the project will not be funded and your credit card will not be charged.

Here are a couple of keychain-sized multi-tools we have wrote about in the past: Shard, Barbar, Carabiner V3, GDC, Brewzer. Although their names are not quite as charming as Atom, they’re available now.
