The Wallet Ninja: Slender, Not Deadly

Behold, the formidable Wallet Ninja. Mine has clearly seen some battle.

At the size of a credit card it fits well in both your hand and wallet.

The product featured in this post is by no means new but has proven itself to be so useful I felt it deserved special attention. Shown above is the Wallet Ninja. Upon first examination it does not appear terribly exciting, just a flat piece of metal with a number of different shaped holes and perforations. Looking closer it becomes clear that these opening have been labeled to indicate their intended usage. It doesn't take a seasoned skeptic to be doubtful of some of their claims. 

While it sounds like a gimmick, the phone stand feature proves to be useful.

However, just looking at this tool does not take into account what might be it's defining feature. The Wallet Ninja is SUPER strong. Even at just 1.5mm it cannot be bent by hand. I have pried open many a paint can, wiggled it into door jams, and picked out staples but it has yet to give. With the strength of 4x heat-treated steel those little outlines in the shape become fully functional tools.

While a few of these tools are meant to pry, punch, or tear none are designed to cut. This makes the Wallet Ninja travel friendly. I have gone through airport security with this as carry-on multiple times and have never had a problem. 

At just $10 it's a great buy for what it provides. If you can get past the tacky, informercial-esque website I'd recommend ordering directly through them. But if that's too much it's also available on Amazon. 

As something of a multi tool enthusiast I'm rather partial. If anybody has a different take or prefers a competing product I welcome feedback in the comments.
