With so many multitools available around the world, you'd think there'd be at least one perfect for your everyday carry (EDC) needs. But that's not always the case, and even the most useful among them is bound to have an implement or few that you'll never use in your life. Why waste valuable pocket space with tools that are useless to you? Modular multitool specialist Roxon lets you spec your own multitool with components of your choosing, ensuring it's the best possible fit for your individual needs. With the all-new Mini Flex Companion, Roxon shrinks that flexibility down to an even smaller, more EDC-friendly size.

Use it on the beach, open lawns, tundra, desert and anywhere else you can't find a single tree, let alone a perfectly spaced pair.
