Of the "7 uses", I would only recommend using the bottle opener and pry bar

I have had the Gerber Shard for a few months now and have traveled on an airplane several times. While I have not had the Shard confiscated yet, airport security does look at it very carefully. I had one TSA agent ask me flat out what it was and I told him it was a bottle opener. With that being said, I have tried what I think are all "7 uses" which I have listed below.
1. Bottle opener = works well and looks more respectable on my keychain over the Coors Light one I had on there
2 & 3. Small and medium flat drivers = too wide for most screws that you might use
4. Philips screwdriver = works well with smaller head screws but not helpful on even medium sized screws
5. Wire stripper = not very effective as you have to be very careful so as not to rip the wire, much easier to use a normal wire stripper
6. Pry bar = very effective, I was able to open a can of paint with no problems
7. lanyard/keychain attachment hole (kind of a stretch calling this a use) = large lanyard hole which easily accommodates key chains or hooking to your pack
In terms of the 7 uses, I would say besides the bottle opener the pry bar is the only really other "useful tool. Overall though, if you're looking to replace your free Budweiser or Coors Light bottle opener on your keychain, then this is a great tool. You get a lot of "wow that's cool" factor.

I actually bought this more as a joke since I was buying something else. It has proven to be very handy. The pry bar works good as a standard screw driver and the philips side also works well. I have tried the bottle opener multiple times and it gets the cap off the first time. The pry bar end has also taken the place of my pocket knife when opening products/boxes. It isn't very sharp but it is just enough to bust the tape and get through the twisties.

The flat screwdriver tips are not accurately machined, because they are shaped for the prying tool, which makes them less than ideal; but the prying tool functionality is great, as there's no small pocket knife or other little tool I've seen that's suitable for prying - which I seem to need quite regularly. The Phillips end is surprisingly functional. The bottle opener appears quite functional, but I haven't tried it yet. The large hole makes it easy to get my key ring out of the way when using the Phillips tip, gives a good thumb and fore finger grip, and helps it sit well with the key ring in my pocket. The finish is holding up well. I like that it has no blade, so can be carried through airport security. The small size and light weight means that it is comfortable to carry with a few keys, and it doesn't dig in to my leg or cause undue wear to my pocket.

It works, just not great
It has a flat, phillips, pry bar and bottle opener. As a bottle opener it works but not in one shot, using the flat heads in anything but a wide open space is a joke, and the... Read more

I bought this thinking I'd use it more often than I do but it still comes in handy when I do use it.

An excellent all purpose device to carry
I just used the Phillips part of the tool to fix a door. Worked great. This is not your all encompassing survival tool, but it is very handy to have in a quick pinch. Read more

Cool "old school" gadget!
I bought this after seeing it previewed on Insanely Great Mac's You Tube channel. Mike carries it on his key chain and I thought I could use something handy like that. Read more

Nice Gaget
A nice toy but not really good for pocket carry. Works well as a fob on my pack but that just makes it handy.
