Germaphobes can avoid touching nasty surfaces with this everyday multi-tool
TL;DR: Keep germs at bay (and open bottles) with the Safetul: 3-in-1 Copper Alloy Multi-Tool, on sale for $24.99 as of Sept. 20. That's a 16% savings.
Germaphobes were creeped out by touching surfaces long before COVID reared its ugly head. But now that we’ve got more than just everyday colds and seasonal flu strains to worry about, touching common surfaces is extra sketchy — even for those of us who don’t usually consider ourselves germaphobic.
Rather than slipping on vinyl gloves every time you go in public, just reach for this Safetul instead. It’s a three-in-one copper alloy multi-tool that can be used to open doors, push buttons, touch screens, and even open bottles when you’re out and about. Just pop it on your keyring and you can pretty much avoid touching any shared surface ever again.
Dubbing itself the world’s most advanced copper hand tool in the world, the Safetul was designed by KeySmart — the company that makes the key holder of the same name — to serve as many purposes as possible in a tiny package. It’s made with H65 brass and stainless steel, so it’s built to last, but its compact and lightweight design won’t weigh down your keyring. Its spring-loaded function makes it easy to access the button pusher and stylus, while the retractable tip ensures the contaminated surfaces aren’t transferred to other items in your bag. Use it when you need to open a door to get into a store, or enter your PIN while paying, or push the floor number in the elevator. It’s built to be as multifunctional as possible, so the uses are seemingly endless.
You can snag yourself one of these multi-tools for only $24.99 (regularly $29) for a limited time. Or, grab two for only $27.99, or four for $53.99.
