Prime-Lite keychain tool from TSC

$5.99 at the checkout counter. I couldn't resist. It has a LED light in it.

Now I am sure that you understand. Really, I am justifying this purchase to myself by typing up this mini-review.

It is green, has 5 tools and a keyring.
The tools:
Knife
Phillips driver
Slotted driver
Cap lifter
Lite

It is too bulky for me to put on my keychain....but I don't carry any multitools on my keychain anyways.

Here it is with the Leatherman Squirt P4.

Stacked on top you can see the Prime-Lite is thicker than the P4.

To give the tool a quick test I wrenched on a Hot Wheels. 

With the Phillips driver I was able to open the battery door. The wide tool body made it a little difficult to spin the driver .

Good news though, the batteries were not corroded and the driver installed the battery door as easy as it came off.

Next up the Prime cap-lifter. I recently stopped drinking beer (just drank the last one yesterday and won't be having more until the weekend) so...the cap-lifter got some rubber action. Here I used it to get the lip of the tire onto the rim.

Success!!


Another success is that the blade cuts.

Cutting twine isn't hard work for a blade but I was suspecting that it couldn't just from the looks of the blade and its rough edge.

Overall, this is a chunky piece of kit that has done very light duty. For $5.99 save yourself the money.
