Advantages: Cheap, and very useful. The knife on it isn't dangerous (i.e. stabbings)

Disadvantages: Adds bulk to your wallet, and the tools aren;t as good as full sized ones

What is it?
The boyz toys card tool is a little handy tool that you can carry inside your wallet. It has all of the following features:
A compass (note on the compass, you must remove the inside metal bit, as it interferes with the magnetic fields and what not)
A small screwdriver (both philips and flathead)
A small magnifier
A ruler
A keyring chain
All those tools are on the outside of the card. When you pull on the top bit, the card comes apart in two, unsheathing the inner metal bit, with more tools, including:
3 different sizes of wrenches
A small blade (I don't believe in carrying knives, but i don't have a problem in carrying this, as the blade is so small, and you couldn't say stab anyone with it, it really is for small things like opening plastic cases and the like)
A tin opener
A lid open thing (i use it to pry things open)
A cap opener
and finally a butterfly wrench
I got mine from poundland, for £1 would you believe!

What is there to like about this card?
Firstly, it is incredibly cheap, especially compared to other card tools, such as the swiss credit card tool from victorinox that goes for around £20!
Secondly, this tool is cram packed with loads of different tools. I have yet to use them all!
And all this comes in a small package, which makes it great to just carry in your wallet for when you suddenly find yourself needing any one of the things this card carries.

So, what is their not to dislike?
The biggest problem with this card for me, is its thickness. Although it does fit in my wallet fine, it does make it a big thicker, especially due to the "bulge" where the compass is, although this is not to bad, it just takes some getting use to.
And secondly, I am not sure how effective some of the tools are. They do not even compete with a proper tool box that you may have at home, but then again, this isn't designed to do that, so my overall advice?

This is cheap, very very cheap, and feels of a decent quality for the price. I recommend you get this, and just place it in your wallet, for use in emergency or convince, such as quick repairs on glasses, cutting open plastic cases and rope, things like that. This card is about £30 cheaper than a decent multi tool such as say a swiss army knife, and isn't as dangerous, not only to the user but to other people as well. That said, this is not a toy.

Summary: For the price, an absoulte baragin, very very handy
