The ‘Tuls’ are a series of palm-sized metal tool cards that work to solve common problems. Tuls fit in your pocket so that you can whip them out whenever you need a tool. A complete set works to let you assemble furniture, tighten bolts, open bottles and prop up your phone. All of this is done through four different stainless steel cards with quirky names.
Tuls is composed of several cards named ‘Stan,’ ‘Lucy,’ ‘Roul,’ and ‘Opie.’ The Stan card was built to help you with your phone-related problems. As such, it can act as a phone prop, cord wrap and bottle opener. The Lucy tool works as a complete tool set so you can use it as a pry bar, wrench, tire spoon, and screw driver. Complementing Lucy is the Roul card. The metallic tool acts as a drill guide, ruler and protractor.
