The GRIPsher is a compact multitool “dreamt up by an Army Veteran, refined by an MIT engineer, and brought to life with common sense”. The creators of GRIPsher have designed the tool with a variety of functions, including, but not limited to:
Perhaps the most interesting feature of the GRIPsher is the glow-in-the-dark jaws on the bottom of the tool. Dubbed the HEXGRIP system, the jaws serve as a fully adjustable way to secure hex nuts, bolts, and bits.
Additionally, the GRIPsher team is hosting a special program called Tools For Troops. For every GRIPsher black model supported, a version of the GRIPsher with black HEXGRIP jaws will be donated to a military service member; this is the only way to get a GRIPsher with black jaws.

$35 seems very cheap, but then again, there is no mention of where their manufacturer is located. I would rather pay more for something made in a first world country.
There are, contrary to popular belief, good high quality items out of China. It all depends on the items. We use in my shop a few China made electronic tools and they have been great. They are made in China, assembled in Italy. Now how that saves anyone money I’m not sure but its good stuff so far.
My one area of concern here is having this item carried in a pocket, either oants or a pack oocket and the driver ends poking you or poking holes in material
Hey Daniel,
We have a case for this exact reason (although I carry one on my keychain without a case and it seems to work just fine).

Thanks for replying with that. It certainly is an interesting take on the multi-tool
