Swisscard Lite: Wallet-sized multitool
Hey! I've got a hack sitting right here from Nancy about the Swisscard Lite, and I see it's currently 50% off as part of the Amazon Victorinox sale! Good timing:
I don't know if this is a hack -- I would just like to highly reccommend a product. I bought this for my husband's birthday and he uses it all the time. I bought one for myself and have used it like five times in the last few weeks. The 4-headed screwdriver (chinese fighting star looking) was handy when putting new batteries in a toy. The magnifier rocks. The knife also opens letters, or shrink rap off products. It even has a pen, and a pin in case you need to make a compass (make sure that pin is magnetized!)
(or any Amazon link at Parent Hacks), you throw some change into our tip jar without any extra steps or cost to you. Thank you!
That looks handy. I'm working on up a post about disaster preparedness for Momformation- I will mention this handy tool.

We have gone through 3 of these in the last 4-5 years. We love them. The scissors are so handy.

I think I have an older version - it has tweezers and a plastic toothpick - very handy!
