PicoPad and Utilikey

Filed under: General — mmrobins @ 12:29 pm

I found a few great little items, the PicoPad and the Utilikey.

The PicoPad is a pen and paper that fit in your wallet. I’ve always wished I had a writing utensil on my, but I can’t stand trying to carry a full sized on around. I’ve already found it useful a few times, but it’s hard for me to remember that I have it since I’m so used to just being without pen and paper wherever I go.

The Utilikey isn’t as cool as I had hoped since it’s hard to open, but it is nice that when it opens it detaches from the keychain easily, which is a must when trying to use the screwdriver in hard to reach places. It’s just nothing compared to my leatherman micra, whose only fault is a crappy bottle opener.

I already carry around my keys, wallet and cellphone, and I think that’s too much already, but if something can fit in my wallet, like the PicoPad, or on my keychain, like the Utilikey, it might be useful to me.
