I like the way the Clutch looks -- the dark finish, and the holes that give it a techno flair.However, be forewarned that the edges of the darker finish wear to reveal the steel underneath, so it won't look new for long.I personally don't think it's too big to use on a keychain, although it is bigger than some such tools.

Open it, and you have a decent pair of pliers, spring-loaded to open when you are not actively closing them.Mind you, this is a mini-tool, so the jaws are small; at the point most likely to break (where the circular arc cuts deepest), the cross-section of each jaw is 1/8 by 1/8 inch.I'm sure if you get carried away, bearing down hard and twisting, you can break this thing, but it is enough to be useful in many situations.There is a small wire-cutter in the pliers, but no stripper.

There is a decent assortment of other useful tools:
- a 1 3/4 inch flat blade
- a small nail file
- a large flat screwdriver
- a small flat screwdriver
- a thin Philips screwdriver -- by that I mean that it is not the width of a real Philips screwdriver, but rather just a flat piece of metal that ends in a sort of V so you can use it with a Philips screw
- a tiny set of tweezers
I find some of these a little hard to get out, even after applying some WD-40.

This is an appropriate buy if you are looking for a small tool that gives you a functional set of pliers.

--- An update ---

This didn't last all that long; eventually one of the handles gave way and now swings freely so you can't use the pliers.My son carried the thing in his pocket for the better part of a year before it gave out, and he's pretty active; perhaps it was corroded by sweat.In any case, I'd like to take off a star (4=>3) for lack of durability but apparently I can't do that!
