Cell phones have their place onboard, but even with all their apps they can't compare with the Snap Tool Multi-Key from Davis Instruments. About the same size, it packs 19 of the most useful boat tools into a pocket-sized package that doesn't need charging, won't break if dropped and will open a bottle at the end of the day.

The multiple award-winning and patented Snap Tool Multi-Key has four SAE and three metric hex wrenches. Add slotted and Phillips head screwdrivers, a scraper and line cutting blade, and it's a toolbox that can be carried in a back pocket.

The Snap Tool Multi-Key was designed by boat owners who know firsthand the problems that plague boaters everywhere. That's why they added a button snapper and unsnapper and zipper pull for those stubborn fabric accessories. A deck plate key, it opens all common deck caps and its shackle tool is perfect for unscrewing corroded and rusty pins. There's even a hole to attach a lanyard. The bottle opener is a given.

Made from thick and strong hardened 304 stainless steel that won't break or corrode, Snap Tool Multi-Key was meant to be used in all marine environments. It measures 2.75" W x 4.48" L, weighs a mere 2.8 oz. and sells for $13.99.
