A little larger than your average AA battery, the Otacle D1 is a toolkit small enough to fit on your keychain. Made from a titanium outer body, the Otacle D1 opens up to reveal not one but four double-sided hex bits that fit into the handle-shaped cylindrical outer body. Dock a bit in either at the front for a regular driving experience, or at the back for a high-torque screwdriver and the world is literally your oyster. You can assemble, disassemble, repair, or even tinker with objects around you without needing to fish out your massive screwdriver kit.
Designer: OKNIFE
Designed by the folks at OKNIFE, the Otacle D1 is all about practicality. It’s compact enough to hang out with your keys on your keychain, but has a flap that opens to reveal a crawl-space for storing 4 double-sided hex bits. The Otacle D1’s body is machined from Titanium, a common material found in the EDC industry these days, which also vastly increases its durability while allowing it to be fairly lightweight at just 1.5 oz (42.5 g).
The entire device measures under 3 inches long, while being broad enough to offer a sturdy grip. The rounded square cross-section enhances the grip too, allowing you to twist and turn with confidence. Just in case the screws you’re working with are on the stiffer side, the Otacle D1 offers high-torque operation too. Instead of mounting the bit on front, you can mount it sideways using a hole at the back (shown above), which allows you to apply more turning pressure to loosen tight screws. It also lets you work in tighter spaces where the screwdriver won’t fit in a linear manner.
The Otacle D1 comes in silver and titanium-blue variants, although there’s also a brass version with the graphic of a crack on it if you want something a little edgy. The D1 comes with 4 S2 steel bits included, tucked away in the magnetic holder inside the D1’s hidden compartment. There’s also a lanyard hole at the back (aside from the bit-mounting hole) for stringing a cord or attaching a keyring, so you can carry your toolkit in your pocket or around your neck!
