Frequently Asked Questions:
Does the sharpening tool work?
You may be surprised that this little tool would have a knife sharpener that actually works, but it does. You can easily touch up a blade in a jiffy. Run a dull blade through the sharpener a few times and it will put an edge on it. Now, it may not be razor sharp because it was designed mainly for touch-ups. It is definitely nice to have when you need it.
Is this keychain tool good for everyday carry (EDC)?
The exposed edges are not sharp, so you won’t have any trouble carrying it in your front pocket. You won’t cut your pants or your legs. It easily adds an additional 12 tools to your everyday carry, so it is perfect for those who want more from their gear. Pocket tools or keychain tools are perfect for everyday carry. Remember, they aren’t designed to replace an entire tool box, but can save you some time and energy from locating tools when all you need is a screwdriver.
Will the screwdriver work on glasses? I have to tighten mine regularly.
No, the screwdriver is too big for glasses. You will need a separate tool for that.
Is the MacV Tool TSA approved?
It is TSA approved according to SOG. You won’t have trouble with security according to their website. We do not offer legal advice on our website, so do your homework to make sure you are up to date on TSA laws and know what you can and cannot bring on an airplane.
