Featuring a revolutionary locking system and aerospace-grade materials, the Adventure Mate V3 delivers full-size tool performance while packing down smaller than most laptop bags—perfect for overlanders and outdoor enthusiasts.
Rugged 6-in-1 camping multitool debuts on Kickstarter July 15, combining an axe, saw, folding shovel (doubles as an E-tool), hammer, and hook in one compact kit. Early backers can snag the heavy-duty multitool for $199, backed by a lifetime guarantee.
Adventure Mate, maker of large camping multitools, unveiled the Adventure Mate V3 on July 15, 2025: a six-in-one “mega multitool” built for high-performance adventuring. Launching on Kickstarter, this full-sized multitool packs an axe, saw, shovel (with 90° rotating head), hammer, and hook into one heavy-duty system. Designed to be nearly indestructible, it’s dubbed “the last camping tool you’ll ever need,” combining the functionality and performance of full-size tools (Axe, Saw, Shovel) with the versatility of a Swiss Army knife.
“After years of iterating on the AM-V2 and listening to thousands of customers, the AM-V3 is our toughest, most intuitive, and most durable multitool yet,” said Conrad Sayer, founder of Adventure Mate. We built the V3 so outdoor adventurers can rely on one tool that does it all, like how people trust their Leathermans. We back it for life because we truly believe it’s the last tool you’ll ever need. And it tucks neatly under the seat of your truck or Jeep.”
Made from hardened tool steel and aerospace-grade aluminum, the V3 features a 16-inch fiber composite handle with a reinforced steel collar. It locks seamlessly into two modular tool heads, designed for multiple configurations to deliver six full-size tools.
Its overbuilt locking system is precision-engineered to expand the steel-collared handle as it closes, compressing each tool head tight for an extremely solid fit, even under heavy use.
“This is by far our biggest leap forward,” said Conrad Sayer. “The CAM locking system delivers a rock-solid, rattle-free fit that’s practically indestructible. It finally solves the age-old issue of multitools never performing like their single-use counterparts.”
Despite its rugged build, the full kit weighs under 6 lbs. Lighter than carrying a separate axe, shovel, saw, hammer, and hook into camp. It also packs down into a fully waterproof holster, only slightly thicker than a laptop bag.
In field tests, the V3’s high-carbon steel saw blade chewed through thick logs, while the axe split firewood with ease. Survival instructors, firefighters, and outdoor experts put every component through punishing trials to ensure it holds up under extreme conditions. That proven toughness is why Adventure Mate backs the V3 with a lifetime guarantee. Break it, and they’ll replace it.
Whether splitting firewood on weekend campouts, digging out a stuck overlanding rig, or clearing debris in an emergency, the V3’s six interchangeable tools handle nearly any task without hauling a full toolbox.
Key features include:
- Axe: Full-size head for chopping and splitting wood
- Saw: 8-inch blade for logs and branches
- Shovel: Tough spade for digging or clearing snow
- Hammer: Drives tent stakes and handles campsite repairs
- Hook: 1.5” hook to pull tent pegs, lift hot pots, hang gear, open beers
- Entrenching Tool: Rotate the shovel head 90° for trenching and breaking hard ground
The Adventure Mate V3 campaign is now live on Kickstarter until August 15, 2025. Early bird backers can secure the multitool at a discounted price of $199 (MSRP $259). Outdoor enthusiasts can also visit Adventure Mate’s website to learn more about the V3 multitool and sign up for product updates.
