To start off this week's Trending Gear, we're highlighting the CRKT Viva for multi-tool Monday. The Viva sets itself apart from many other one-piece multi-tools with its ergonomic design that doubles as a key hook. It measures at just about 4 inches long, which when combined with the ring section on the back of the tool makes for a secure and comfortable grip. It'll come in handy as a no-frills pry tool, but it also functions as a flathead screwdriver, bottle opener, and multi-sized hex wrench. A blackwash 3Cr13 steel build makes it durable enough for daily carry and strong enough to carry your keys via its split ring attachment point at the pry end of the tool. You can pick up the Viva in a combo set with another popular piece of CRKT Gear, the Drifter folding knife, at the link below.
