CRKT Guppie Multitool: Slip Joint Adjustable Wrench, Black Knife Blade, Removable Bit Driver with LED Light, Carabiner, Bottle Opener, Pocket Clip 9070
January 1, 2019 - Comment
Launce Barber and Tom Stokes designed the patented* Guppie as part of our innovative I.D. Works line of tools. While some think it’s cute, it really is a hard-working carabiner tool with dozens of everyday uses.
The adjustable wrench jaw opens to 1/2″ so you can use it for all kinds of light repair and assembly jobs. Thanks to the carabiner gate, the Guppie is easy to carry on a belt loop, D-ring, pack or rope. (But it is not a weight-bearing carabiner.)
The high-carbon stainless steel blade with a Razor-Sharp edge can be opened and closed with one hand using the blade slot. The removable bit carrier is also a high-intensity LED light. It has two strong magnets to hold it securely to the Guppie’s left side. The stainless steel clip will hold the Guppie in your pocket or on gear, which gives a lot of versatility.
The Guppie makes a great little money clip, too, for those who like to keep a thin wallet. One more trick: The Guppie carabiner detent will open bottle caps and metal jar lids.
CRKT Accessories, including deployment systems, carry systems, and sharpeners, have a one-year limited warranty against defects in material or manufacturing. For additional details about the CRKT Limited Lifetime Warranty see the manufacturer’s website.

Cheap Great concept, unbelievably handy, and fantastic design…. but POORLY made. Mine fell apart in less than a month. My second one did the same. There is no excuse for this, especially from such a reputable company. Oh and good luck keeping the magnetically attached light and bits, yeah right. Lost those on the first week.To be more specific, the area that broke was the adjustable wrench portion. The whole movable head and adjustment knob fell out completely. I have no idea why,…
Little fishie The Guppie is a bit of a mixed bag, but it has high points as well as low points. I’ve owned two of these and pretty much mix-and-matched when I needed one. In both cases, the plastic section is inferior to the rest of the tool. The mini flashlight never works consistently (it’s just the switch, not the actual light, but it’s annoying nonetheless) and requires a lot of fiddling. The magnets built into the plastic section are not really strong or large enough to make me feel confident enough to…
It is what it is. For the price, I shouldn’t really expect much. For the brand, I sort of expected more. I primarily bought this to put into an EDC case as a small, convenient cover-all type tool. Because of travels, I had planned on removal of the knife blade, a simple T8 fastener is all that holds it in place.The remainder of the tool is sub-par, but will passably do the job if needed. I am surprised at the shoddy workmanship, design and execution of a relatively-popular tool. I am planning on…
