How To Avoid Germs In Public Places

Want to avoid germs? By now you can recite the drill from memory. Wash your hands. Don't touch your face. Keep your social distance. Wear a face covering.

But as we begin venturing out in public again, we must also take steps to avoid germs residing on surfaces that we formerly touched without a second thought. Door handles, gas pumps, and touchscreens-once grabbed or pressed with carefree abandon using our bare hands-must now be approached with suspicion.

A simple, effective option that has emerged in the fight against infection is The Germ Avoiding Antimicrobial Hand Tool. Resembling an oversized skeleton key, this multitool made from solid, antimicrobial brass alloy lets you keep a safe distance between you and contaminated surfaces. Its hook lets you pull door handles and it has a stylus tip for pressing buttons or keypads or leaving a John Hancock-worthy signature on a touchscreen-while keeping your digits from coming into contact with germ harboring surfaces.

Best of all, the hand tool disinfects itself. Its 62% copper content is inherently hostile to germs and kills 99% of bacteria on its surface within two hours. That 62% figure is important. Many look-alike tools are made with lesser materials that may not provide this level of protection.

The rugged hand tool can be clipped to your keychain, ready for instant deployment, and its antimicrobial fighting properties never wear out. It provides effective protection that helps you navigate the "new normal" with a bit more peace of mind.
