A photo of it opened up with tools visible would have been nice. The knife is visible but nothing else. It appears that a lot of the items it replaces (items held in hand to left) are option that must be purchased in addition to the Keyport making it quite a bit more pricey. Not sure, but those add ons probably make the tool much bulkier than the basic tool shown. Not a great review.
If you have a column shift and ignition be sure to check the distance between the two if you use the key slide
if you don’t, and you pull your shifter into gear, it is very easy to snap the key off, and a new special blank from
this company costs five bucks and you have to take it to a locksmith to get it cut. Also with all the add on’s they offer
you can easily run up a cost north of a hundred bucks. It is fancy, but is it practical?
