-- Geekey, the viral everyday carry multi-tool, is back with a brand-new model. Geekey 2.0, now live on global crowdfunding platform Indiegogo, reimagines the original design with significant new features and enhanced functionality— all while maintaining the sleek form factor that made the original a favorite among EDC enthusiasts worldwide.
Originally launched in 2017, the original award-winning Geekey was a crowdfunding sensation, quickly earning a cult following for packing countless tools into a TSA-compliant device small enough to fit on a keychain. The next-generation Geekey 2.0 takes its form-factor cues by integrating the classic mini Bic® lighter, offering a sleek design that pushes survival multi-tools to the next level.
“The inspiration to design Geekey 2.0 came from using so many small solid multi-tools that always seemed to fall short on capability. They would only do a few things well. I wanted to design a multi-tool that would provide more function in a smaller package,” says founder and CEO Brad Sliger. “When I looked for design inspiration for this next generation multi-tool, it made the most sense to stick with a small form factor that was still very portable and could easily fit on your keychain— that is where the ‘key fob’ inspiration came from. In addition, oftentimes in survival situations or when you are just in a remote area, having the ability to make fire can be a critical survival need, and that is where marrying the mini Bic® lighter came into play.”
Key features of Geekey 2.0:
- Mini Bic® Lighter-Integrated Design: Geekey 2.0 is a tightly integrated lighter dock sheath that provides a multi-tool dock to integrate with the lighter.
- Emergency Whistle: Built-in whistle for signaling or safety in outdoor or emergency situations.
- Stainless Steel Construction: Built for strength, durability, and everyday utility.
- 1/4" and 4mm Bit Driver: Integrated driver for standard 1/4-inch and 4mm bits.
- Bike Spoke Key: Handy tool addition for cyclists.
- Metric and Imperial Wrench Sizes: Multiple wrench sizes for a variety of fasteners.
- Screw Driver Tip: Will screw almost any type of common screw style.
- More Than 20 Tools in One: Includes screwdriver tips, file, bottle opener, can opener, wire bender, ruler, and other everyday functions.
Designed for outdoor adventurers, tinkerers, cyclists, and anyone who values practical tools on the go, Geekey 2.0 was designed to be as small as possible to provide the ability to go anywhere. It easily fits in the palm of a hand and is non-obtrusive on a keychain. The size accommodates all the necessary tools and functions while remaining very small.
“Geekey 2.0 is necessary because it provides the ability to do more with less. There is very little impact for someone to add it to their daily life and yet makes a huge impact when it is really needed. It is very convenient and takes the place of so many tools that are often not instantly accessible or simply not available because of the location or situation you are in,” adds Sliger.
Geekey 2.0 is currently live and available to support on Indiegogo: www.indiegogo.com/projects/geekey-2-0-a-next-gen-edc-multi-tool#/
