For anyone tired of juggling their phone to watch videos, take calls, or follow recipes, the new Vulyx multitool offers a sleek, bladeless solution. It revolves around a titanium magnetic phone stand that transforms into a pocket-friendly multitool with a dozen additional functions.
- Compact titanium phone stand weighs only 48 grams
- Includes tools like ruler, bottle opener, screwdriver bits, and level
- Bladeless and TSA-compliant with a magnetic phone attachment
What happened
A new multitool called Vulyx has been introduced on Kickstarter, designed to address the common inconvenience of holding or propping up a phone for hands-free use. Unlike typical multitools that add a phone stand as a minor accessory, Vulyx places the phone stand front and center as its main feature.
Crafted from Grade 5 titanium alloy, the Vulyx is lightweight and measures just under 7 cm wide. It uses a magnetic ring attached to the phone or case to snap securely onto the stand, which folds flat when not in use. Alongside the stand, it integrates 12 additional tools, turning it into a versatile compact device.
Why it feels good
The Vulyx multitool offers a clever blend of practicality and portability, meeting a common everyday need while cleverly packing multiple additional functions without bulk. The use of titanium not only ensures durability and corrosion resistance but also keeps the weight low enough for comfortable daily carry.
Its bladeless design means users don’t have to worry about sharp edges during travel, making it TSA compliant. The inclusion of a bubble level, ruler, wrench edges, and magnetic screwdriver bits further expands its usefulness beyond just propping up a phone, enhancing convenience in a subtle, elegant way.
What to enjoy or watch next
Early supporters can pledge on Kickstarter with early bird access starting at $59 for the complete set, which also contains screwdriver bits, glow vials, and a magnetic fidget toy. The expected retail price is around $95, with shipping planned for October if the campaign reaches its goal.
For those intrigued by multifunctional everyday carry gear with a modern twist, keeping an eye on the Vulyx campaign could be rewarding. Its thoughtful approach to integrating a phone stand with multiple tools might inspire future innovations in compact tool design.
