If It’s Broke You Can Readily Fix It

Don’t let the Credit Card Companion fool you. It may look like a little black credit card--it’s only eighth of an inch thick and weighs 1.3 ounces--but it’s actually a handy tool kit that you can carry in your wallet.

The tiny card houses a stainless-steel saw-toothed knife, an awl/bottle opener/screwdriver, tweezer, toothpick, compass and magnifying lens.

Designed by Tool Logic in Port Hueneme, the Credit Card Companion ($24.95, plus $3 shipping and handling) can be ordered by calling (800) 483-8422.
