The Nano Wallet!
I seriously deserve some gin!! I really wanted to cover this as an example, as I'm always conscious I walk around my house and there's actually dozens of these tiny little devices that are just as handy as the 'headline' ones, but they never get the limelight!
Well that's four videos in a week! As it's such a simple little project, I knew I'd get shouted at if I shared this AFTER Black Friday as all this SwitchBot stuff is 40%+ off at the moment! (they seem to be one of those firms where you should just wait for their bonkers sales and stock up!) - I'm buying lots of their stuff as Christmas gifts for people this weekend!
On the wallet, this is one of those 'penny drops' for me where I realised I was carrying around all this stuff in my wallet that just was 'fossils' of the past - and with a tiny bit of tech, I could radically shrink things.
I'm now wondering if I can a) get things any smaller or b) add even more features for no extra space..... ;)
Enjoy - I'm off to chill out!
PS oh and watch out for the guest appearance from Monty the Morris Minor who's been in our family since the 1950s....

I like the idea of this card, sadly I got the lock Oro but but it doesn't work with my lock as I can't remove the thumb turn as it's welded on, so have to buy a new lock, I was trying to look at an engineering way to get around this problem I haven't come up with one yet, and I don't want to pay £40 for a new lock.
Ah, you know you can just replace the cylinder? (Usually £5-6 at Screwfix or the like) - basically just get one with a key or removable thumbturn and you'll be away! It usually comes out with a single screw inside your door, so super quick to do
Sorry you didn't get the roof on in time but the fire is so delightful and since we've no place to go....Let's print wallets!
Tom Jones Welsh reference AND puns.... Double points!!
Love it! I've been using a slim wallet for years - though not as slim as you've gone! Agree it is just the right thing! And while moving to a car card instead of the car key is great, the car I bought a couple years ago let me go even slimmer: it uses my phone/watch as my key! 😀 And further, after enticing me to spend all sorts of money on xTool, now you've temped us once again with more SwitchBot! I'm going to need a really large bonus from work this year...
Oh yes, I did mention that briefly in this video, the Tesla obviously lets me use my phone as a key, but my phone is much bigger than everything else, so it's great to be able to go out without it occasionally!!
So, 2 credit cards, the wallet finder, and a card for the car entry? Is there room enough for driving licence as well? Does it have a spring loaded clampy thing to keep the cards in place, or do they just fit? The wallet finder seems like a pretty cool piece of tech
Well I've made the design parametric, so I can just adjust to whatever width I want, so I aim for one bank card, driving licence for ID, the card for the card and the wallet finder card! (Some cards have those little raised letters which will increase the depth a tiny amount, so you can just adjust to suit!)
Great video. You always amaze me with your insight and ideas.
