SlashGear • • technology
Key Points:
- Tsuchioto Works, a Tokyo design studio, has launched the Blackjaw, a pocket-sized multitool featuring pliers, blades, a saw, screwdrivers, openers, and a carabiner, measuring 4.2 inches and weighing 7.8 ounces.
- The Blackjaw is priced competitively at $90 through a Kickstarter campaign, significantly cheaper than the Leatherman Wave+ which costs $129.95, with shipping to the U.S. adding $15.
- Unlike the Wave+, the Blackjaw’s tools are all fixed and non-detachable, reducing the risk of losing parts but limiting the drivers to just a Phillips and a flathead screwdriver.
- Constructed with aluminum handles and stainless steel blades and jaws, the Blackjaw offers 11 integrated tools, including a wire cutter, saw, can and bottle openers, and a wire stripper, designed for versatility in everyday tasks.
- While the Blackjaw offers a cost-effective and lightweight alternative to the Wave+, backers of the Kickstarter campaign will need to wait until March 2027 for shipping to begin.
