Tools are designed to help solve our every day problems: measuring problems, bolt-tightening problems, furniture-assembling problems, rim-straightening problems, even bottle-opening problems. What separates a merely good tool from a truly great tool, though, is how well it does a job when it needs to be done; any tool is useless if it’s back home, downstairs or out in the garage when you really need it.

Meet Tuls – a collection of compact, well-designed, card-sized tools created to solve a range of everyday problems, bundled in functionally complimentary sets, flat enough to ride on your keychain or in your wallet/purse. They’re designed to be there for you in those times when you can’t reach the tool you wish you had. Tuls are laser cut from 18 gauge stainless steel, about as thick and rigid as a US dime; tough, durable and built to last.
