"All the Leverage you Need"

What is Leverage?
Leverage is a credit card sized bottle opener that takes advantage of the inherent strengths of carbon fiber, allowing for a super thin (.059") and ultra light weight (.3oz) design you won't have to think twice about carrying around. In other words... no more need to key-fob around.

Leverage is in lockstep with your cards. No matter how you choose to carry them be it clip, case, or wallet.
