5.11 Tactical EDT Hex Multitool Keychain Screwdriver 56672

Overview of the 5.11 Tactical EDT Hex Multitool | 56672

Small tool, big help when hardware fails

Bolts and screws always seem to work loose when you are nowhere near a toolbox. The 5.11 Tactical EDT Hex Multitool gives you a compact mini multi bit screwdriver you can keep on your keyring every day. The stainless steel body, removable bit holster, and detent action for bit retention keep your four driver tips ready when you need them most. Model 56672 fits right into your 5.11 loadout so your gear stays consistent and easy to track.

Built for real use, not just show

You get four practical tips in one compact multitool: #1 Phillips, 3/16 inch slotted, plus Torx T6 and T8 for knife tune ups, optics mounts, and small electronics. The removable bit holster stores the spare bit in the center, while the pry tip end helps with light prying and package opening. Clip the included microbiner on the split ring to your keys, duty belt, or pack and you are ready to fix loose gear on duty, at the range, or around the house.

Compatibility

The 5.11 Tactical EDT Hex Multitool is best suited for:

• Folding knives and pocket clips that use Torx T6 and T8 hardware.

• Rifle and pistol optics that rely on small Torx, Phillips, or slotted screws.

• Small electronics, gadgets, and EDC gear that use #1 Phillips and 3/16 inch slotted screws.

• Household items with light duty screws that match the included bit sizes.

Limitations to keep in mind:

• Not intended for large hardware, automotive bolts, or high torque fasteners.

• Only supports Torx T6 and T8, not larger or specialty Torx sizes.

• Pry tip end is for light work and should not be used as a heavy lever or chisel.

Using the multitool within these limits helps you avoid stripped screws, damaged bits, and unnecessary returns.

Intended Users

This multitool works best for people who depend on their gear staying tight and reliable. Typical users include:

• Law enforcement officers who tighten optic mounts, holster hardware, and belt clips between calls.

• EMS and fire personnel who keep knives, shears, and small equipment tuned up while moving between scenes.

• Military members and private security who want a compact backup driver on their key ring, vest, or pack.

• Range shooters who adjust optics, mounts, and accessories without carrying a full tool roll.

• Everyday carry enthusiasts, gearheads, and maintenance techs who keep flashlights, knives, and gadgets dialed in.

You clip it on once, forget about it, and reach for it the moment a screw or bolt starts to back out at the worst time.

Frequently Asked Questions about EDT Hex Multitool

Question 1

Can I really use the EDT Hex as my everyday keychain multitool?

Yes. The 5.11 Tactical EDT Hex Multitool is built as a mini multi bit screwdriver for daily keychain carry. The stainless steel body, split ring, and microbiner make it easy to clip onto your keys or gear and keep it there full time.

Question 2

Will the T6 and T8 Torx tips work on most folding knives?

The Torx T6 and T8 tips will fit many common knife pivot screws and pocket clip screws. Some brands use different Torx sizes or other fasteners, so you should check your most-used knives, but T6 and T8 cover a large percentage of everyday carry knives and gear.

Question 3

Is the removable bit holster secure enough for duty use?

Yes. The removable bit holster nests in the center of the tool and works with the detent action for retention. It is designed to stay put during everyday carry while still being easy to pull and swap when you need a different tip.

Question 4

Can I use the pry tip for heavy prying or chiseling?

The pry tip end is intended for light prying, scraping labels, and opening boxes. For heavy prying or chiseling, you should use a purpose-built tool to avoid damaging the EDT Hex or slipping and injuring yourself.
