I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not exactly a DIY guru. But if there’s one tool I use more than anything else in my home, it’s this 6-in-1 mini-hammer and screwdriver. This petite powerhouse can tackle everything from hanging pictures on a wall to fixing a pair of eyeglasses. And best of all, you can snag it for under $15 on Amazon. Here’s why you need one in your home, too.
What initially drew me to this multipurpose tool was the adorable flower print. (What can I say, I like my florals. Groundbreaking!) But the fact that it’s essentially six tools in one was the true selling point. At first glance, it just looks like a small hammer with a claw on the other end. However, nestled inside the handle are four screwdrivers, both flathead and Phillips head, in varying sizes that all fit inside one another like a Russian nesting doll. At under 8 inches long, the whole thing is easy to stash in a drawer.
I’ve used this tool for myriad purposes around the house and beyond. For example, I used the large screwdriver to assemble pieces of furniture and the small ones to tighten the screws on my glasses and unscrew battery covers on small electronics. I’ve used the hammer to put nails into the wall to hang pictures and framed vinyl records, and I recently used it to hammer in a nail that was inexplicably sticking out of the floor of my apartment (and avoided a potential tetanus shot in the process). And spoiler alert: I also bought an extra one to keep in my car, because why not?
And I’m not the only one who loves this thing. Dozens of customers have given it five-star reviews, noting that it’s “a must-have,” “so handy to have around” and “perfect for the junk drawer when you know you’re going to need it.” One reviewer even mentioned it makes the “perfect stocking stuffer,” so holiday shoppers take note!
Overall, I really can’t say enough good things about this little hammer-slash-screwdriver, especially given the price. Grab one (or several) before it sells out!
