Miniature tools aren’t just novelty gifts. Many are surprisingly functional and are just as sturdy and functional as their full-sized counterparts—and in some ways, even more useful. The ratchet in the Klein 3-piece tool set, for example, fits into such a tight space that it needs only a 5-degree sweep; the Saker mini chainsaw’s 4-inch bar is even smaller than those in our tested guide to the best small chainsaws, yet it can still capably cut through small limbs.
These 15 pocket-sized tools prove that good things really do come in small packages.
