BY13 8 Tool Harp

Harp Tools first appeared in the UK in the 1880s. Called so because they’re shaped like the musical instrument, they contained the implements needed by specialized tradesmen (farriers, bricklayers, longshoremen). Ours has eight functionally generic tools. Each rotates out independently and snaps open. Phillips-head screwdriver, slotted-head screw driver, saw, corkscrew, file punch/awl, gimlet and a small/largehead hammer with a bottle lid lifter. Tools fold flat into the outer ring. Carries flat in a leather belt case.
