VersaLink

Multitools tend to be bulky, which is exactly the problem VersaLink sets out to address. According to the maker, the tool is CNC-machined from aerospace-grade titanium and built around a simple idea: deliver the functions you need in the smallest possible package, for everyday tasks, outdoor use and DIY work.

What's on the ring

• Bit holder for driver bits of various sizes, intended for simple repairs
• Mini prybar for jobs such as lifting tape or opening can lids
• Box opener with a blade for opening parcels
• Scalpel knife for fine, precise cutting
• Key organizer that keeps keys tidy and compact

Material and machining

The maker says VersaLink uses Grade 5 titanium alloy, described as roughly half the weight of steel with comparable strength, resistant to corrosion from sweat and seawater, and unlikely to cause allergic reactions. CNC machining, according to the maker, gives tight tolerances so the parts fit together without play, along with a smooth surface finish.

Built to expand

The design is modular. The maker says modules can be added to suit different needs, citing a carabiner or additional tool modules as examples, and positions this as a foundation for future updates and new functions. The maker also points to titanium's high recyclability and the tool's durability as reasons it may cut waste compared with disposable plastic tools.

VersaLink was launched as a Kickstarter project and is aimed squarely at the everyday carry crowd, particularly those who prefer a minimal kit.
