I am a firm believer in having as many tools as possible on your person at all times, much to the chagrin of my wife. But I thought, having festooned my keychain, that I was out of places to put multitools. Gerber, however, has shown us all a new, glorious place to locate useful tools, namely, on our zippers!
Zippy Blades
It’s not what you’re thinking; these are actually designed for jackets and hoodies. But they are actually a very smart idea. You simply attach the tool, in this case a utility blade, to your jacket’s zipper pull. There it sits, snugly, until you need it. Then you just unclip it from the pull, pop the blade open, and start cutting.
Jacket Utility
It’s a smart idea not least for those who have to work outside and often need small hand tools; among the tool styles, you can get a set of screwdrivers, a hex wrench set, and, naturally, a bottle opener if for some reason you were lacking one from the multitudes of multitools that have one built in.
Regardless of what you use, though, it’s handy to have a small, sharp object hanging off your coat, and realistically, it can often make hard jobs, especially jobs outside in the cold, a little less annoying. Besides, you don’t want to be caught unprepared, right? Right. So accessorize your jacket with a few tools; you never know when they’ll come in handy.
