If you’re in the market for a niche minimalist wallet, chances are it isn’t one of the Best Cool Wallets. You run the risk of taking the Best Money Clip and turning it into something lesser. With the Nite IZE Financial Tool, quantity over quality is the name of the game. You can see that with its 5-in-1 design, yet strong durability.
Why We Like It – Nite IZE Financial Tool
The Nite IZE Financial Tool doesn’t settle with housing your cards and money in separate areas, but its stainless steel construction allows it to branch out with other functions, like on-board wrenches and rulers.

Aesthetics
As far as looks are concerned, the Nite IZE Multi Tool Wallet is not a looker at all. To be frank, it’s hideous to look at, like a car without a paint job. Even the CL Carbonlife Carbon Fiber is simple in looks, yet its carbon fiber construction looks good in comparison.
Durability
With that said, its stainless steel construction does give it unmatched strength. It’s designed in a way to withstand abuse, such as bending and breaking. This is because the Nite IZE Cash Wrap Strap Scraper Tool is very low on the scale of flexibility.
Performance
Speaking of holding cards, the Nite IZE Money Clip is lackluster in that regard as well. It’s limited to about four debit/credit cards. To be fair, it isn’t as bad as the Victorinox Swiss Army Money Clip only holding two cards, but still a far cry from the average.
Size & Versatility
The Nite IZE Financial Tool is 3.5 x 2 x 0.26 inches and 0.09 lbs of stainless steel metal. But it isn’t just a simple design, it actually has multiple functions; in fact, it has five. It can be a money clip, credit card holder, bottle opener, standard-sIZE and metric wrenches, and ruler.
Value
If Nite IZE was getting rid of the Nite IZE Financial Tool for anymore than $10, we would’ve called it out for highway robbery. Thankfully, it’s under $10, so the value it offers stays intact. But, honestly, it’s very niche to begin with. Who needs a bottle opener on them at all times? And the wrenches and rules pale in comparison to their better counterparts. Versatility is nice, but if you’ll use none of those functions, get the VIOSI Money Clip Leather Wallet instead.
Nite IZE Financial Tool Wrap Up
The Nite IZE Financial Tool went to the School of Quantity Over Quality. Having a minimalist wallet that has a 5-in-1 design is neat in theory, but not so in practice. You’d get more value out of having more space for cards or better aesthetics. Its construction is strong, we’ll give it that. And you can hold both cards and money, separately.
