Conceived of as a set of snowboard tools built into your belt, the buckle is actually two screwdrivers (Phillips and slot), a bottle opener and a hex socket wrench. It snaps off the thick, high-quality leather belt with four poppers so that you can deploy it without taking off your whole belt. I&#8217;ve just had my first occasion to use it &#8212; needed a Phillips to open the battery case of some electronics &#8212; and it was great, like I was still carrying a multitool (a habit I kicked after losing half-a-dozen of the expensive little bastards to the TSA). I&#8217;m not sure if this guy&#8217;ll survive airport security, but I&#8217;m gonna try it out this week in the UK, Germany and the US. <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B00068N3XC\/downandoutint-20\" >Link<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/mattcastille.com\/me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/02\/images-686belt.jpg\" rel=\"shadowbox[sbpost-2150];player=img;\"  onclick=\"window.open('http:\/\/mattcastille.com\/me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/02\/images-686belt.jpg','popup','width=497,height=328,scrollbars=no,resizable=yes,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=yes,left=0,top=0');return false\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/mattcastille.com\/me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/02\/images-686belt-tm.jpg\" height=\"328\" width=\"495\" border=\"1\" hspace=\"4\" vspace=\"4\" alt=\" Images 686Belt\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Belt buckle with integrated toolkit: I traded in my old belt for one of these 686 &#8220;Snow Tool Belts&#8221; a couple weeks ago and I&#8217;m just loving it.
