Ron's Utility Pocket Knife 3.0 for Keychain and Carabiner with Magtrak Technology Stainless Steel

This is the perfect EDC knife for the price. I love the removable blade. Replacement blades can be found at any hardware or general store. It's also small and light. Qualifies as minimalist. Alternatives include scalpel type blades, but scalpel blades would be harder to find, and I sometimes prefer the larger blade. You could spend more for a titanium design, but for this price, you won't go wrong with the Screw-Pop. The magnet is smart for blade retraction, and for sticking to your fridge, but sometimes sticks to your keyring. Quick and easy to one handed deploy (though not "bearing" fast). The locking mechanism is not very "trick," but is sufficient and reliable for all my use case. It's not a good bottle opener, but I didn't buy it for that anyway. I am a handyman by trade and I still carry this on my work keys, though I carry a smaller scalpel blade for my personal keys.

To be part of my every day carry, something really has to be worth its weight and bulk. I have used various knives (both with replaceable blades and with fixed blades) and I think this is my favorite solution so far.Criteria for a useful EDC blade:==================================1. I like replaceable blades better because I am just not that good at sharpening and I don't like having to think about whether it is worth dulling my blade on this packaging (I used to use the spyderco bug and it was absolutely perfect except that I was always scared of dulling it). Realistically, most of my use for an EDC blade is opening packages and packaging.2. Bulk is a huge problem in the pocket. Everything I carry from my wallet and keys to my pen are as minimal as possible to avoid being uncomfortable while sitting and moving around.3. Low cost and/or high durability is also necessary in an EDC item4. Safety is a high concern. The blade can't come out easily. Not ever. This is so much more important than being able to open one-handed. I'm never in a situation where opening one-handed is critical, but I am always in a situation where accidental deployment is a deal-killer. Keychain jingle is also a deal-killer.This obviously accepts standard utility blades, of which I have a zillion including some that are much higher quality than the included blade. You can get smaller utility blades as well as the snap off kind in some knives and I was tempted, but I often cut things with a lot of resistance, so I prefer the full sized blades (which are also cheaper and easier to find).Positives of this knife:===========================+ The magnet is just the right strength and location. If the blade is deployed and you open the lock, it sucks the blade back in. It keeps the blade from jiggling around (and dulling itself). It would prevent the blade from accidental deployment if the lock failed. But it doesn't stick to keys or other metal items in the pocket. I have the version 3.0 and it is perfect in this respect.+ I was afraid the lock would open easily--I feel like it could use a detent--but it doesn't open on accident. At least, not yet. It takes a little effort to open the lock and then you have to slide out the blade. No accidents here.+ The overall knife is pretty robust but not terribly heavy. It is not as minimal as I would prefer, but it's pretty close. The quality and durability appears to exceed my expectations for a minimal tool of this sort.Negatives:==============- There's no reason for a bottle opener here. Bottle openers are on every tool ever, and most of them are better than this one. This "bottle opener" is just a little hook that will catch on your clothes. The design would be better if the metal just went all the way across to maximize strength instead of giving you a half-baked bottle opener. I'm probably going to grind the bottle opener off.- This is longer than it needs to be. It doesn't need such a huge round hole at the top and it doesn't need as much length as it has either. As it is this is longer than any of my keys, and that's too long. A smaller hole/hinge mechanism would be a big improvement, and then length should be minimized as well.- Although friction holds the lock in place well right now, I can imagine that it may not always do so after some use. A little detent would be an improvement in the design. I have thought of putting a small, fat rubber band (like the kind you get on broccoli) around this for extra security and to reduce the noise of it banging on my keys (primarily while I drive). At the moment it's probably not worth it yet, but this design could indeed be improved.- There is too much side-to-side play here when the blade is being used. The metal is curled under to hold the blade but should be curled tighter. I'm half tempted to try squishing it with pliers to tighten up the tolerance. No reason for all that extra space when we know what thickness standard utility blades are.Final Thoughts================Overall this is worth carrying every single day as I do. I use it often and have not yet had big enough complaints about it to drop it from my EDC, as I have so many other knives. That's actually pretty high praise. Not to say a few tweaks couldn't improve this, but it comes very close to perfection.

The Screwpop utility knife 3.0 is super easy to use and is very convenient at the same time. It comes with a utility blade so you're ready to go right out of the box, it also takes most replacement utility blades allowing for a wide variety of options to choose from. It takes up almost no space on a keychain or a carabiner and weighs a negligent amount. It's a super handy item to have on you, everyone needs to open something during their day, from envelopes to card board boxes the Screwpop utility knife has you covered no matter what. The only nit pick I have about this is that it could be a little thicker to give you the ability to get better leverage on it when cutting. However for the tasks it's truly made for (light cutting tasks) it does a great job. As long as you're using the right tool for the job you'll be just fine with the Screwpop utility knife 3.0. I would highly recommend this item to anyone who finds themselves always struggling to find a cutting tool when they need it most.

I love this product very small like a size of a older car key and don’t make my keychain to bulky very comfortable easy to use. works perfect for me at work and at home
