Overview
The Toler Union is the brainchild of creator Michael Newman – a mechanical engineering degree holder who came about the idea after being let down by the quality of the multi-tool he was using at the time.
He decided to make his own high-quality version that featured a more practical and better-implemented set of tools, which include an innovative wrench design, a full-sized screwdriver, a knife, a T-handle driver, and a pair of pliers just to name a few. In short, the Toler Union is a multi-tool that’s both easy to use and durable, and offers the right tools no matter the job.

What’s it like to use?
The Toler Union may have a lot of tools to unpack but it’s surprisingly easy to maneuver thanks to its intuitive design and expert build. Its larger size may be considered a drawback to some, though it does come with the added advantage of allowing for more full-sized tools like the elongated wrench, as well as a more comfortable grip when you’re hard at work.
Moreover, you can always effortlessly split the Toler Union in half, allowing you to use two different sets of tools at the same time. The gadget itself and its tools all feel satisfyingly weighty and well-built and the variety of tools found in the Toler Union make it something any handyman or DIY enthusiast would want to keep around.

Its tools are impressively well-built and it features a wide enough variety of them to make it the perfect all-arounder.
It may not be as compact as some of the other multi-tools out there, but that’s just to give some of its tools more leverage and to allow its creator to cram more uses into this handy little device. The Omnilock self-adjusting wrench is also a wonderful inclusion that’s as innovative as it is useful. For people who are looking for a high quality, near all-encompassing multi-tool, the Toler Union does a great job of setting itself apart.
