    Swiss-Tech Utili-Key 6-in-1

    The Swiss-Tech Utili-Key 6-in-1 is the smallest multitool that I've owned, not much bigger than a key. I have one attached to my car keys, house keys, and I have a couple in the office, and I'm surprised how often I turn to them. A great accessory to add to your keyring!

    It features:

    - Flat screwdriver

    - Phillips screwdriver

    - Micro-sized screwdriver (perfect for eyeglasses)

    - Straight blade knife

    - Serrated blade knife

    - Bottle opener

    The MiVue 766 WIFI dash cam is built around two key components. The first is the Sony IMX323 (Exmor) 2-megapixel sensor that is capable of full HD 1920 x 1080p recording at 30fps, and featuring an f1.8 aperture, which gives it good low-light capability. This is paired with a 140◦ wide-angle lens, giving the dash cam an outstanding field of view.

    The other component is the 2.7-inch touchscreen display that's used for both setup and for user feedback when the dash cam is in use.
