A purpose-built multitool that’s perfect to stash in your backpack, your car, bicycle kit, workshed, or even your pocket, the OUTU 6-in-1 multitool gives you all the tinkering tools you need to open, assemble, or repair anything around you. The handy multitool occupies about the same space as a large USB stick when closed (measuring just 4.5 inches long), but open it out and you’ve got yourself an adjustable wrench, prybar, bottle opener, knife, Philips-head screwdriver, and a sleeve for attaching S2 hex bits to your multitool to work with a wide range of screws.
Covering practically every day-to-day scenario where you’d need a multitool, the OUTU 6-in-1 Multitool EDC is compact enough to be hyper-portable, useful enough to get the job done, and then even lets you crack open a bottle of brewski after a hard day of work!
The multitool comes in different accented color options, giving you the ability to choose between vibrant orange, red, blue, or a classic black. The EDC sports a foldable design reminiscent of the pocket knives we’ve been seeing for over a century, however, it also fashions itself with a select set of tools that are much more necessary in the modern age. A blade gets you through rough situations where you need to slice ropes, whittle wood, or cut open boxes, while the adjustable wrench lets you tinker and toy around with everything from furniture to bicycles to potentially even your car. The prybar doubles as a flathead screwdriver, and there’s a dedicated Philips-head screwdriver too, but combined, they let you dock a mounting sleeve to install S2 hex bits. This, in my opinion, is uniquely game-changing.
The adjustable wrench (or pliers if you tend to use that terminology) helps easily tighten or loosen bolts. The wrench jaws open to an impressive 24mm and are built at an angle, providing up to 65 kilograms of torque to let you twist open or twist to tighten even the toughest bolts or nuts.
The OUTU 6-in-1 Multitool also comes with its own set of hex-bits, and a mounting sleeve that lets you attach them to the multitool. The bit sleeve (shown in the image above) mounts on the flathead and Philips head screwdrivers when opened. Both of them open to form a square-shaped profile that fits the sleeve perfectly, while its other end lets you magnetically mount any of the 9 hex bits that come with the OUTU.
Whether you’re looking for a handy multitool to fix stuff around the house, or an EDC to carry around while bicycling (just in case your ride needs fixing), or even if you want to add a nice tool to your workshop arsenal, the OUTU 6-in-1 Multitool makes for a rather compelling (and affordable) purchase!
Don’t let the act of screwing leave you feeling frustrated or overwhelmed—this exceptional screwdriver kit ensures that you’ll have a smooth and satisfying experience, providing a welcomed sense of comfort for your fingers.
Screws serve as a ubiquitous method to secure objects together, yet they often earn a reputation for being a posterior nuisance, as if an expletive was invented solely for the act of screwing. Disregard the vast array of screw types available today and the frustratingly frequent occurrence of lacking the appropriate screwdriver when it is most needed. Screwdriving can become an arduous task, taxing both your fingers and wrists. However, there is an alternative. The Spinner Drive showcases the art of accomplishing more with less, leveraging the power of physics, all while maintaining a stylish and sophisticated appearance.
All-in-one screwdriver kits have become incredibly common nowadays. Some feature individual screwdrivers tailored for specific types of screws, while others offer interchangeable bits to accommodate various needs. At our shop, we proudly offer the Spinner Drive Tough Edition Plus, a remarkable kit equipped with 20 of these versatile bits, ensuring compatibility with every imaginable screw type. Each bit is exceptionally durable, constructed from Stainless Steel and fortified with a Titanium Nitride coating, providing enhanced strength and longevity for any screwing task at hand.
Precision Drivers. Buttery Smooth Rotation.
The screwdriver itself embodies the essence of minimalist, industrial art. The precisely crafted grooves, achieved through CNC machining, not only offer an improved grip for your fingers but also serve the practical purpose of preventing the tool from rolling off your workbench. These intricate details alone are bound to captivate enthusiasts of minimalist tools, yet the Spinner Drive has even more to offer, setting it apart as truly exceptional.
Standard. The Good Old Fashioned Way.
Concealed discreetly at the upper section of the screwdriver lies a hidden gem—a ball bearing that bestows a remarkably smooth twisting sensation, akin to gliding through butter. Positioned atop the screwdriver is a purposefully designed dimple, allowing you to effortlessly hold it in an ergonomic manner for precise fine-tuning. With a swift twist of the Spinner Drive, loose screws can be effortlessly tightened without placing undue strain on your fingers. It’s the epitome of both comfort and functionality.
T-Handle. Maximizing the Torque.
For occasions that demand broader and more expansive movements, the inclusion of the Spinner Wheel becomes invaluable. By inserting the Spinner Wheel, the handle’s diameter effectively increases, enabling greater torque to be generated with each rotation. Notably, the Spinner Wheel’s spinning speed escalates in tandem with the velocity at which you turn it. With the added benefit of the grooves adorning the Spinner Wheel, it effortlessly surpasses the comfort and grip offered by a conventional T-Handle screwdriver. Its performance is unparalleled, particularly when considering the superior level of grip it provides.
The Spinner Drive anticipates scenarios where finger strength may not suffice, ensuring you’re well-equipped for any situation. Thanks to the ingenious implementation of magnets, attaching and detaching bits becomes effortless. Moreover, the removable hexagon bit holder integrated into the barrel enables seamless compatibility with an electric screwdriver. Whether you prefer the manual dexterity of finger power or the convenience of an electric tool, the Spinner Drive caters to all your screwing requirements. Say goodbye to the frustration of struggling with screws—this exceptional tool ensures you’ll never have to utter another curse word again.
Industrial Designer Jinsop Lee theorizes that the best way to make a product more iconic and memorable is to design it for all 5 senses. The more multisensorial you make a product’s experience, the more your mind remembers it. It feels like the MetMo Pocket Driver was built on those principles. Aside from being visually attractive and having a tactile experience, the EDC includes the satisfying effect of a rhythmic ratcheting sound too, making it just the most satisfying screwdriver you’ll ever use.
Satisfying Drive – Instead of hiding the fun stuff away, they left it exposed so you can see that satisfying motion.
The MetMo Pocket Driver blurs the lines between form and function, giving you a screwdriver that both looks and performs better than any tool you’ve got in your toolbox. With the kind of rotating barrels and clicking pins that you’d find in a finely engineered workshop instrument or even a bolt-action pen, the MetMo Pocket Driver was designed to turn the age-old screwdriver into an intriguingly powerful high-torque tool that’s easy to carry and even easier to use.
Powered by a ratchet mechanism, the screwdriver lets you tighten screws/bolts with a single, continuous, rotating movement. Working similarly to the mechanism found in a bicycle wheel, the screwdriver tightens the screw when twisted in one direction, and creates that familiar clicking sound as you rotate your hand in the opposite direction to twist again. The result is effortless as it’s satisfying. The MetMo Pocket Driver delivers exceptionally high torque, letting you tighten or loosen annoyingly tough screws, and even easily drill holes into wood with a simple twist of your wrist.
Quick Release Handle – The handle pops into place in seconds giving you all the advantages of a bigger tool whilst taking up less space.
A Whole New Way to Hold a Driver – Use in-line as a micro driver, off-line to get into a tight space, use in T-mode to get some real power behind it.
Annoyingly small allen keys will be a thing of the past!
The driver lets you attach any 1/4″ hex bit to its magnetized chuck, while a fold-out handle lets you work the tool with an impressive amount of dexterity. The pivoted handle design encourages you to use a gripping style that suits your requirements. Open the handle out into a T-shaped grip for maximum torque, or use the handle while it’s closed in ‘inline mode’ for screws that are tucked away in tough-to-reach areas. The ratchet mechanism can easily be reversed to let you use the Pocket Driver clockwise and even counter-clockwise, allowing you to tighten or loosen screws and bolts with equal ease, and with that satisfying clicking sound that in itself becomes an indication of progress.

The format of the MetMo Pocket Driver isn’t entirely new. It bases itself on the design of the ‘Ratchet Screwdriver’ an invention patented by Conrad Baumann back in 1949, but more recently, is a smaller, more pocket-friendly version of its elder sibling – the MetMo Driver. “A lot of backers loved the Driver but wanted something smaller,” mentioned the folks at MetMo Cube, who’ve carved a niche for reinventing what workshop tools and EDC devices look like.
Two in the Chamber – Pocket Driver has inline storage for two emergency bits to get you out of a bind.
Grab Hold of Your Bits – A powerful neodymium magnetic bit holder grabs bits firmly, so you don’t end up leaving them stuck in what you’re working on.
Use with Any Drive Bit – compatible with all standard removable Hex drive bits, so you can use it with 1000’s of modern fixtures, including your favourite brands from all over the world.
In its smaller avatar, the MetMo Pocket Driver scales down the popular tool, but retains its all-metal build. The smaller Pocket Driver comes made from a combination of heat-treated tool-grade steel and anodized aluminum, with a magnetized chuck that lets you securely mount Hex bits onto the driver, and a brass bolt that pendulates up and down as you rotate the driver. Flip it 180° and there’s even space to store two Hex bits inside the Pocket Driver’s hollow grip, so you’re never caught unprepared.
With its compact size, measuring just 4 inches in length, the MetMo Pocket Driver is perfect for indoor and outdoor tinkerers. Whether you’re a designer looking to build things, an engineer looking to repair things, or just someone who wants a versatile, portable tool to repair everything from cycles to circuit-boards, the Pocket Driver makes for a compelling pick. It works flawlessly thanks to its solid construction, and offers more torque than most motorized screwdrivers (17Nm), while simply delighting with its bolt-action-style mechanism that literally and metaphorically clicks! The ratchet mechanism and fold-out handle double as a fidget-toy of sorts too, allowing the MetMo Pocket Driver to be perfect for work, play, and everything in between. The MetMo Pocket Driver comes in steel and anodized black finishes, and a rugged, all-metal design that’s robust enough to last a lifetime.

With a built-in pen, scale, caliper, protractor, and screwdriver, the Vortex Multitool Ruler Pen is like the Swiss Army Knife of stationery objects. The built-in LAMY refill makes it perfect for immortalizing your ideas, and the Vortex’s ultra-durable Grade-5 titanium construction ensures that your stationery is just as immortal as your ideas.
It doesn’t really take much to activate the stationery hoarder in me, but the Vortex Multitool Ruler Pen definitely goes above and beyond with how it compresses an entire stationery kit and toolkit into something as slim as what you’re looking at. CNC-machined out of titanium, with strategically placed magnets and space for hiding either a LAMY M22 refill or two screwdriver bits, the Vortex covers most of your basic stationery and multitool needs. Split into two parts, the Vortex serves as a ruler/scale that’s perfect for measuring, drawing lines, and even cutting against, along with a pen that lets you sketch ideas, make notes, or doodle away for inspiration. Built-in magnets help the ruler open out to an 8-inch measuring instrument, while also functioning as a sliding caliper set or even a protractor… and when you’re in a bit of a fix, the Vortex also lets you dock screwdriver bits into its titanium body, becoming a high-torque screwdriver.
The Vortex Multitool Ruler Pen has a design that feels simultaneously fresh yet intuitive. A similar product hasn’t quite existed before, yet somehow using the Vortex doesn’t require a learning curve. Spend a couple of minutes interacting with and you’ll quickly pick up its features and begin using it like an expert in no time. The multitool pen comes as a single hexagonal entity that splits apart into two to reveal powerful rare-earth magnets on the inside, along with a machined cavity that’s perfectly sized to dock either a LAMY M22 refill, or a pair of 1/4″ and 1/6″ screwdriver bits. The Vortex ships with a LAMY refill included, although you could swap it out for standard screwdriver bits from your own toolkit.
The hexagonal design and built-in refill make for a wonderful writing experience, thanks to a hefty titanium body with a weighted design that feels great to the touch. Slide the two shafts of the pen apart and you’ll find a LAMY M22 refill on the inside. Flip the refill outwards before sliding the titanium shafts back into place and you’ve got yourself a writing instrument that’s just perfect for notes as well as sketches. Use the refill independently as a writing instrument, and the ‘hollow shell’ of the Vortex transforms into a scale. Strategically placed rare-earth magnets let the two shafts flip open into a scale that’s a precise 8.66 inches (220 millimeters) long. Metric and imperial markings on the Vortex’s body make it easy to measure, and the magnets also give the Vortex the ability to function as a protractor or even a vernier caliper that measures objects to the nearest millimeter.
Magnets let you use the Vortex in Protractor Mode
A Vernier Caliper mode lets you measure objects much more intuitively
The inner compartment that houses the LAMY refill is also perfectly machined to dock a 1/4″ and 1/6″ hex bit of your choice. If you’re less of a writing kind and more of an EDC enthusiast, this arrangement makes more sense. To use the Vortex as a screwdriver, simply dock the hex bits in their respective hexagonal holes machined into the ends of the Vortex’s body and you’ve now got a nifty high-torque screwdriver that’s perfect for DIY projects as well as for opening and repairing objects around the house.
Each Vortex Multitool Ruler Pen comes CNC-machined out of Grade-5 Titanium (with a sandblasted texture), making it the perfect hybrid between stationery and durable, long-lasting EDC. The hexagonal shape of the multitool pen is reminiscent of the iconic pencil, and also makes using, maneuvering, and lifting the tool off flat surfaces rather easy (unlike flat rulers/scales that are notoriously difficult to pick up). The built-in magnets are reliably powerful, and give the Vortex its unique versatility while also providing a rather enjoyable fidget ability that should keep your hands entertained as you brainstorm your next biggest idea!
The Vortex Multitool Ruler Pen comes with a LAMY refill included, and boasts a discounted price tag of $69 with free global shipping. For an extra $10, you can also grab yourself a leather carrying pouch for your Vortex, and an additional $15 gives you access to blue or purple anodized finishes.
You can even use a cutter against the Vortex’s titanium edges.
Nothing breaks momentum more than starting a task only to realize you don’t have the proper tool at hand. That’s even more frustrating when you’re dealing with screws, which can be one of a dozen or so types. Even if you’re the type to carry around tools in your pocket or bag, carrying around even half a dozen screwdrivers is pretty much out of the question unless you work as a handyman. Fortunately, there is now a class of screwdrivers ingeniously designed to fit in your Everyday Carry or even in your pocket. Most of these, however, still doesn’t cover the wide range of screws in use, but this 9-in-1 magnetic screwdriver makes sure you always have the most important ones in your pocket, ready to let you do your magic whenever and wherever your skills are needed.
Screwdrivers are perhaps the most frustrating tools to have in your arsenal. There are just too many types of screws to have a “one size fits all” design, and physics requires that their handles be wide enough to produce a decent amount of torque. That makes it almost impossible to have one that could fit in a small pouch, let alone your tight jeans pocket. Not unless you have a creative design like the M-20 Titanium Magnetic Screwdriver that lets you carry not just one, not even just two, but nine bits that can take care of the most common repair and crafting tasks.
Uncompromising Durability with Pure Titanium – The M-20 offers superior titanium engineering and rock-solid level of strength and revolutionary resistance to corrosion.
9-Bits-in-1 – Nine bits that are magnetically secured to the tool itself, providing a hassle-free and easy-to-use solution to using your tool.
At first glance, the M-20 looks nothing like a screwdriver and more like a robust carrying case for screwdriver bits. In some sense, that is also correct, as the uniquely shaped tool has slots for up to nine bits, holding them in place using very strong magnets. That means they won’t get loose and get lost even if you quickly slip the M-20 into your pocket. Those same strong magnets can hold a bit at the edge or side of the screwdriver, giving you a firm and precise grip when turning the handle to tighten or loosen screws.
Carry Convenience in your Pocket – Easily carry it in your pocket, put it in your car or attach it to your keys using the built-in bucket hoop.
Make Precision Easy – A strong magnetic mechanism makes the M-20 easier to hold onto screws, while its smaller profile makes it easier to work within tight spaces.
Handy Bottle Opener – M-20 makes it easy to crack open your favorite brew.
The M-20 screwdriver’s distinctive body is made from titanium, making it lightweight yet also durable and resilient against corrosion. The bits themselves are constructed from high-quality German S2 tool steel alloy, promising a tool that will last for years of use. The M-20 is also a multifunctional tool, with markings for inches and centimeters, as well as a bottle opener that’s perfect for cooling off after a hard day’s work.
For the sweet price of $69, you get a multifunctional titanium tool and nine durable S2 tool steel alloy bits that you can take with you anywhere, whether it’s in your EDC, your pocket, or even hanging on your keychain, ready to jump into action in no time flat. Whether you’re making quick repairs or doing precision work on delicate parts, the M-20 Titanium Magnetic Screwdriver will be your trusted partner that gets the job done quickly and efficiently, and it looks great for showing off, too.

EDITOR'S QUOTE:
This All-in-One Screwdriver makes short work of any screwing task with its smooth ball bearing and unique torque-maximized Spinner Wheel while also looking fabulous on your work table.
Next to a hammer, a screwdriver is one of the most common tools you’ll want to have around the house. In fact, you might even want to have a screwdriver with you most of the time, which can’t be said for a hammer. A screwdriver is, after all, easy to pop into an Everyday Carry or bag, and they can even be a bit more stylish than your average tool. In fact, there are plenty of such unusual screwdrivers popping up here and there. Some try to be different for difference’s sake, while others aim to reduce the tool’s size or improving its efficiency. While those ideals might be praiseworthy on their own, it’s hard to find a design that embraces all of the above. Mininch (“mini-inch”) was one of those that dared to dream the impossible and, even better, turned it into a reality, so we decided to give the Spinner Drive a literal spin to see if it is able to deliver.
Aesthetics
This innovative screwdriver looks deceptively simple. The palm-sized barrel is reminiscent of a short pen, but the groves around it is a telltale sign of its real nature as a power tool. Behind its seemingly basic appearance, however, lies a design that pays a great deal of attention to every inch of the product to address the most common pain points of such a tool. Those CNC Machined slip-resistant grooves, for example, not only give a better grip but also prevent the screwdriver from rolling off tables.
We’ll get to the ergonomic gains of this revitalized common work tool in a bit, but it’s hard to ignore the fact that this screwdriver looks almost too stylish to be a tool. The aluminum barrel sand-blasted finish looks just as refined as it is durable, whether in silver or black. The titanium nitride coating of the stainless steel bits for the Tough Editions gives it a lustrous golden sheen that almost makes it feel like a jeweler’s tool.
All-in-all, the Spinner Drive’s handsome looks give it another feature completely unrelated to its use. Propped up on a table or shelf using the included stand, the tool easily becomes a piece of decoration, something that any craftsman would be proud to put on display. With its headlining Spinner Wheel attached, it even takes on a sci-fi flavor, looking like a futuristic tower or space station that hints at its advanced features.
Ergonomics
Many might argue that the screwdriver design isn’t broken enough to need fixing, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be improved, either. One area where the common screwdriver design is actually lacking is ergonomics. The core design of the screwdriver hasn’t changed in centuries, though there were additions like grooves on the handles for better grip. It is designed for utility and mechanical efficiency, getting the job done but not always in the smoothest way possible.
In contrast, this all-in-one screwdriver is all about ergonomics and lets you exert less physical effort to accomplish the exact same things. The ball bearing in the top piece of the drive makes twisting the body smooth as butter, needing nothing more than finger strength to tighten screws. This also makes small, precise movements even easier, which is critical when working on smaller pieces like watches. Simply rest your index finger on the dimple on the top and spin the drive with two other fingers without breaking a sweat.
The drive’s special sauce is where it gets its name from, the Spinner Wheel that can be easily attached to the barrel to increase the available torque by increasing the diameter of the drive without actually increasing its size. Looking like a beautiful cog, the grooves on the wheel’s periphery provide the same strong grip when you need to exert more force than usual. With the wheel, the Spinner Drive becomes the equivalent of a T-handle screwdriver without forcing you to change tools or even how you hold the tool. This screwdriver is really the only one you’ll ever need, not just because of all the bits it includes but also because of how it makes screwing something feel so enjoyable.
Performance
A beautiful and ergonomic tool, however, would be a complete waste if it didn’t get the job done, especially not in the improved way it advertises. After all, any old screwdriver would work just as well, so why would you bother with something that looks almost too pretty to get dirty? Fortunately, the Spinner Drive isn’t all looks or talk and actually delivers on its promises.
The drive is indeed easy to use and spins so smoothly that you almost feel like you’re using a toy instead of a tool. In fact, you might even be tempted to use it as a fidget toy, spinning the barrel mindlessly to get your creative juices running. You can hold the handle like a traditional screwdriver, using the force of your wrist and forearm to do the work. Its magic, however, shines best when you rest the end of the barrel in your palm to utilize that ball bearing and let your fingers do the talking instead.
The kit includes a wide variety of bits, covering almost every kind of screw in existence, at least the standardized ones. The Tough Edition Plus even includes 20 of these! Switching bits is easy thanks to the use of strong magnets, and you might even be able to do it all with one hand only. And when muscle power just isn’t enough, you can use those very same bits with an electric screwdriver by removing the quarter-inch hexagon bit holder and attaching it to a standard power tool.
Attaching and removing the Spinner Wheel is just as simple but isn’t as seamless as with the bits. Therein lies the only compromise you’ll have to make with this design. You won’t have to reach for another tool to get that needed torque, but you do need to have the wheel on hand. You will then have to remove it as well if you need to switch to a more regular grip. Some might find themselves either ignoring the wheel completely or even keeping it on permanently. Either way, the drive will still look attractive, whichever path you take.
Sustainability
With an all-metal construction and no plastic in sight, this all-in-one screwdriver is easily one of the most sustainable purchases you can make for your toolbox. Its story, however, doesn’t start and stop at its composition, though. Like any other product, its value increases the longer you’re able to use it, and this is one drive you are unlikely to throw away or retire in just a few years.
Despite looking rather luxurious, this is a tool that was designed for rough use and built to last. Of course, the drive itself and the wheel can survive plenty of falls and bumps, but the bits are also meant to withstand wear and tear over long periods of time. The SUS420 Stainless Steel and Titanium Nitride coating on the Tough Edition bits also gives it increased resistance to rust and corrosion, making them usable even in high-humidity settings.
Since you don’t need to have a different screwdriver for different screws and won’t even need a T-handle driver just for added torque, the Spinner Drive significantly reduced the number of such tools that need to be produced. And since it lasts a lot longer than common off-the-shelf screwdrivers, you will be keeping it far longer, delaying its fate in landfills or even in recycling plants. If you consider how many screwdrivers are mass-produced, an all-in-one, all-metal design like these could have massive savings in resources if only it became a more common design.
Value
It’s really not that hard to see the great value in a product such as the Spinner Drive. It hits all the right aspects of performance, usability, and design, all in a package that can be easily slipped into a pocket or bag. The genius of adding a ball bearing for smoother spins and a wide wheel for more torque cannot be stated enough. Those alone already set the screwdriver apart, and the universality of its screw bits put it leagues ahead of the competition.
The price is nothing to scoff at, either. At $99, it will admittedly be a lot more than a typical screwdriver with a plastic handle, but it easily pays for itself when you consider that it replaces ten or more such screwdrivers in your toolbox. And you won’t even want to keep it stored away in that toolbox when not in use. It looks so refined and so attractive that you’ll probably set it on top of your desk or workbench when not in use, perhaps to serve as a testament to great product design.
Verdict
Just because something “Just Works” doesn’t mean it is actually working at its best possible performance. The screwdriver is probably something that few people will consider to be in need of significant improvement, but if you find yourself regularly dealing with different screws and ending up with sore hands and wrists, then you’ll definitely beg to differ. With an easy-switch bit system, a buttery-smooth ball bearing, and an innovative torque-increasing wheel, this All-in-One Screwdriver clearly delivers all that you need to work on any screw, making work a little less tedious and perhaps even more enjoyable.
Life would be so much simpler if we all followed certain standards like paper sizes, date formats, or screw head shapes. While a good majority of furniture and electronics do use a small subset of screws available in the world, you never know when you’ll actually come across one that your two or three screwdrivers can’t handle. There are, of course, a variety of screwdriver sets or universal tools with interchangeable bits to cover almost all those, but all of them take up precious space in your toolbox or bag. You can only do so much to get a true universal screwdriver you can easily carry even inside your pocket without compromising on quality. You might be shocked, then, to see this multi-functional screwdriver that can fit in the palm of your hand, proving its right to be called the ScrewDriverKing.
The problem with screws is that there are just too many kinds that require not only different bits but sometimes even different lengths of screwdrivers. You might assume that everything can be handled by a conventional screwdriver with a long shank, but there are times when you need to get even closer for more precise movement. This kind of variety and having too many variables is what makes it difficult to have a single tool that handles them all in a truly portable package.
Just like a powerful monarch, that is no problem for the ScrewDriverKing, which manages to solve that and more using the most ingenious design possible. Yes, it still has all the heads you’ll need to cover any kind of screw out there, and, yes, it still has a long double-ended hex socket (1/4″ & 5/16″) when you need it. The difference is that all of these tools are crammed into a compact body that is barely 4 inches in length, small enough to fit in your hand or keep in your pocket. You no longer have to worry about carrying a pouch or box with you all the time.
The secret to this seemingly impossible feat isn’t just the modularity of the ScrewDriverKing, but also in how all the bits and pieces fit inside the handle. Flip the shank around, and it stores inside the driver’s hollow body. All the screw bits, on the other hand, slide into the driver’s handle. The handle is ergonomically designed with a seamless anti-slip comfort that enables you to adeptly use all of the screw-bits as grip leverage. It facilitates an air circulation process through the tool grooves, allowing the air to pass through on both ends and keeping both the tool and hand dry for a long period of time. Everything you need is in one place, so you don’t have to worry about leaving some bits behind.
File Tool – Can be used to smooth sharp edges for those of us looking for perfection.
Box Cutter – Capable of opening your packages.
Circular Bubble Level – This allows you to center the position of the screwdriver.
Rulers – Implemented two rulers in both inches and metric.
The tool, however, isn’t just the King of all screwdrivers. It’s also the king of multi-tools. Despite its small size, it actually has multiple functions, including a filing tool on the double-ended hex socket that can hold both 1/4″ and 5/16″ screws bits, rulers in both imperial & metric units, and 27 different size screw-bits that’ll adapt to any project you might have. There is even a magnetic cap that serves as a bubble leveler that can precisely measure both horizontal and vertical surfaces. As a bonus, that cap has 9 different sizes of spoke-wrench, including a DT Swiss Tricon wheel (T20). Even with all these powerful features, the ScrewDriverKing is also carefully designed to be safe around children. The bits will not come off easily thanks to a magnetic slide-lock design, but adults can open it without trouble using a thumbs-up gesture.
The ScrewDriverKing is almost like a puzzle where every part has some function to be discovered. The parts can be used as storage but also as a standalone tool. True to its moniker, the tool’s gold color gives it a sense of royalty, and it’s complemented by that multi-functional cap that’s shaped like a crown. Given the royal treatment you’d be getting, the $89 Super Early Bird price tag definitely feels like it was made with commoners in mind. With this 40+ Tools-in-one screwdriver, you’ll definitely feel like the king of everyday repairs and everything else where there’s a loose screw waiting to be conquered.
