PLEASURES and SafeTouch Team Up on Hygienic Multi-Tool
Open doors, press buttons and more, hands-free.
Streetwear brand PLEASURES and security company SafeTouch have joined forces on a stylish Hygiene Multi-Tool, a portable device allowing users to press buttons and open doors without using their hands. The claw-like design also incorporates a bottle opener and screwdriver for increased functionality, and even features an anti-viral powder coating for added protection.
As the coronavirus pandemic is pushing many people wear disposable plastic gloves in public, the Hygiene Multi-Tool provides a reusable alternative for minimizing skin-to-foreign-surface contact. Of course, users should still wash their hands and disinfect the tool regularly.
The PLEASURES x SafeTouch Hygiene Multi-Tool retails for $28 USD on the PLEASURES website.
Stay Safe With the SafeTouch x PLEASURES Hygiene Multi-Tool
For today’s uncertain environment.
As the world continues to combat the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, PLEASURES has teamed up with SafeTouch on a timely branded Hygiene Multi-Tool.
SafeTouch’s innovative tool was born through a series of conversations centered around the public spaces we share. With today’s uncertain environment, the Hygiene Multi-Tool looks to minimize human contact and subsequently reducing the chance of spreading of harmful viruses, bacteria and germs.
The limited-edition collaborative personal hygiene device is constructed of copper and covered in an antiviral and antimicrobial powder coat complete with PLEASURES branding, spider web details and the phrase “SATISFACTION GUARANTEED.” The main elements of the tool are the button pusher, door opener and accompanying finger grip hole which allows effective and safe access to number pads, touchscreens, doors and more. Other functional details include a stylus/screwdriver, bottle opener, box buster and belt-loop hook. Finally, the SafeTouch x PLEASURES Hygiene Multi-Tool features a key ring hole for secure everyday carry.
Priced at $28 USD, the SafeTouch x PLEASURES Hygiene Multi-Tool is available now on PLEASURES’ website.

This handy Pleasures’ multi-tool will help limit your exposure to COVID-19
April 29, 2020
A useful new tool has arisen quickly during the COVID-19 epidemic. The SafeTouch multi-tool, launched just two weeks ago, is a handy accessory meant to limit exposure to shared surfaces by opening doors and pushing keypads and touchscreens. Made of antiviral copper, the SafeTouch has other functions that’ll continue to make it useful whenever the hell this is all over: a bottle opener, flathead screwdriver, and box buster. For storage, you can either utilize the key ring attachment or simply hook it onto your belt loop.
If all that wasn’t enough to pique your interest, perhaps a streetwear collaboration will do the trick. Pleasures, the LA-based brand that leans punk, has linked with SafeTouch for a co-branded multi-tool. Instead of a copper finish, the piece is black with silver decorations that include the brand names and spiderwebs on one side. On the other is a big “Satisfaction Guaranteed,” a vote of confidence in this effort to help stop the spread of the coronavirus.
Is copper really antiviral? — Indeed it is, scrupulous reader. A 2015 Department of Defense grant found that infection rates were reduced by 58 percent in hospitals using copper alloys. An additional study discovered that SARS-COVID and other SARS-like viruses were undetectable on copper surfaces just five minutes after exposure.
Get your own multi-tool — Given streetwear’s obsession with accessories, this should be a no-brainer. While many such purchases extend beyond novelty, nothing but a face mask is more relevant to this dire reality we’re in. If you want the ~fashionable~ version, you can pick up the Pleasures SafeTouch right herefor $28. That’s only a slight markup from the original version, which can be had for $24.99, $54.99 for a pack of three, or $84.99 for five.
Put your finger in that hole and keep your hands away from potentially infected surfaces.
