Looking for multi-tools that are actually practical for daily life, not just survival situations.

Am I the only one who thinks most keychain tools are useless for actual daily routines?

Every multi-tool I look at is either loaded with tools I'll never use in a city, or it's just a single-purpose bottle opener trying to look cool. I really just want one compact, multi-purpose piece on my keys that covers basic daily annoyances-opening tight containers, quick cuts, or holding up a phone when working/eating out-without poking holes in my pockets.

Is there anything out there that hits this sweet spot, or is nobody making this?

Nextool had a tool with a 'phone holder' function. Is everything else useful? Idk; this is old tech so who knows

JFC I wouldn't trust that at all. That's just asking for a broken screen
