Multi-tool bracelet
Man has always sought to fulfill his tasks, spending as little effort and time as possible on this. Recently, more and more people are liking the idea of multifunctionality. This idea is not new, for a long time people have been striving for the concept "All in one"to have everything they need at their fingertips. To develop such a device, countless attempts were made, some were more successful, some less successful.
Today we will talk about such a practical and convenient accessory as a multi-tool bracelet.
"Multitool" in translation from English is a "multifunctional tool".
Yes, it really is. This is one tool that consists of several components. Each such part serves one or more useful purposes. Another reason why the device has become so widespread is due to its compactness. Manufacturers are trying to do everything to reduce the space it occupies. And the place that was freed up at the same time, leave for other things.
Multitool it can look like a bracelet familiar to us, and like something that even from a distance does not resemble it.
For example, multifunctional pliers, which contain a set of several screwdrivers, scissors, a small saw.In fact, these are ordinary pliers, but everything that can be useful to us is hidden inside their handles. As for the multi-tool bracelet, this is a typical illustration of the discrepancy between content and form. It turned out to combine useful functions and a decoration that will always be on your hand.
Material
Such bracelets are made mainly of stainless steel, which allows them, with proper handling, to serve faithfully to their owner for a long time. Models made from ordinary steel are less reliable.
A steel multitool is an option for those who want to get all the benefits of using it, but do not want to overpay.
There are varieties made of plastic and titanium.
The class of energy bracelets is made of silicone with an admixture of special ions, which are the secret of its miraculous effect. Survival bracelets are woven from a special cord called paracord.
Colors
The colors of these accessories are very different. Particularly advanced firms can provide the opportunity to choose the color that you want.
Handmade
A high-quality bracelet had to be made only by hand, although machine work speeds up the process, the quality suffers because of it.
Of course, not all operations can be performed by hand and one has to resort to the help of machines and machine tools, but this is done as little as possible. For copies, conveyor production is allowed, but then such a bracelet cannot give the declared quality. Analogues usually suffer from a lack of reliability, but their price is undoubtedly lower than that of the original. Decide for yourself what is more important to you - low cost and fragility, or it doesn’t matter to you how much it costs, you only need reliability and versatility.
Manufacturing companies
The market offers an abundance of various models that differ in form and content. At the moment, one can even talk about the oversaturation of stores with this type of goods.

An example is a company Leatherman Thread, as well as Endevr.
The presented brands are quite popular in many countries. They constantly monitor the quality of their products and make some changes to it, if necessary. This helps to stay in the lead among other market players.
