The wallet wizard

Bank cards might be helpful for hiring a handyman, but the plastic itself isn't much use for menial tasks - so upskill your wallet with this slender accessory. Barely there at just 40g, the titanium-coated tool is slim enough to slip between cards, yet offers the utility of some 30 functions.
