WHO IT'S FOR:

If your dad needs a pocketknife with extra capability but still needs to keep his carry light.


WHY WE PICKED IT:

Skeletool CX packs the most essential tools into a sleek, smart package. Skeletool CX keeps things simple with pliers, a knife, and a bit driver. This premium steel has a great balance of corrosion resistance and toughness. Of course, it’s more than just a knife. The pliers, bit driver, and wire cutters will come in handy more often than you expect.

Modern enough to pair well with dad’s office job aesthetic, this multitool won’t take up a bunch of space or look bulky in his pocket. To put it simply, the Skeletool CX has everything he needs and nothing he doesn’t.

WHO IT'S FOR:

Perfect for any dad who enjoys the latest and greatest tech, the ARC is our pinnacle multi-tool with cutting-edge materials and highly-requested features.

WHY WE PICKED IT:

The ideal everyday carry kit prepares you for anything life throws your way. ARC takes everything we’ve learned about making multi-tools and puts it into single package with premium materials, advanced FREE technology, and our most popular features. If the dad on your list appreciates top-shelf quality, he will be wowed by the ARC.

ARC includes key tools like a straight blade knife, pliers and large bit driver. But it also has more specialized implements like a diamond coated file, pry tool, and eyeglass screwdriver. Best of all, every tool opens with one hand. ARC is fun to use, with a “fidget-friendly” design that makes it hard to put down.
