A selection of geek-screwdrivers and unusual multitools from Leatherman to Xiaomi
A good screwdriver is no longer just a tool, but something like “geek-paraphernalia”, therefore, such a tool became an accessory and connected to the creation of creative people.
We collected several very unusual copies inside.
Kickstarter is not fooled!
')
A few years ago (2016), one project appeared on Kickstarter. With the required amount of $ 500, he quickly collected a little more than $ 1,000, and nothing foreshadowed ...
The trinket-multitool offered several nozzles, a bottle opener, a hexagon at a modest price of $ 15. Screwdrivers can be conveniently hidden inside the device.
A carabiner would allow not to part with this miracle: hooked to the keys and wear as a key fob. In general, idyll. And it lasted until the Kickstarter management learned how to use the Aliexpress website, where even today the same multitool is sold for 200 rubles. You can't say anything special about the multitool itself, unless you doubt the reliability: a good set of basic screwdrivers, a flashlight for the backlight and a fairly convenient form for small household jobs. Functional souvenir.
Kickstarter fool you!
And this is an example of a successful case , when you reinvent someone else's idea, and they give you money for it. This “screwdriver for women” or screwdriver-pin for some reason bears the subtitle “First in the world”, although it is not.
Here and a small file, and a screwdriver, and a tool for stripping wires, and all this in the form of an ordinary hairpin.
Moreover, all this is so durable and reliable that representatives of the army were involved as experts for the project’s comments, and in commercials such a thing is almost positioned as a uniform!
Very ambitious in every sense. If not one but!
Leatherdos
Literally exactly the same project was already known a few years ago and since then it has been googling well on Ebay . Hairpin-multitool offers almost all the same:
Jewelry for men
The idea to turn such a simple and intuitive tool into something like a stylish decoration is known to a greater extent thanks to Leatherman. Their legendary multitool bracelets are known to everyone.
The thing is very cool - we use it ourselves. It looks very prestigious, sits on the hand with dignity, attractive. Hairy hands sometimes catches, we will not hide. Visually, this is a very decent bracelet. A functional -
For example, in the Steel version :
In order to use the multitool for its intended purpose, you need to fold it up, that is, part of the bracelet becomes a screwdriver handle. For small household work - it is convenient.
The quality of materials and assembly is further supported by a 25-year warranty!
Small retreat
The line between beauty and prettiness is rather thin, and some really flirt with the design, bringing the screwdriver functionality to purely visual indicators: there’s a type of screwdriver, is it a convenient or not, is the third question. The main thing - it looks unusual.
It goes completely to madness:
Obviously, it is impossible to “re-invent” the tip, so you have to mock the handle, but in this case, apart from the aesthetic characteristics, you will not have to consider any others. Still, it must be said that with all the atypical appearance, the above samples can be used anyway as a tool!
But, for example, using such a kitten as a handle is no longer so convenient:
The second point that destroys most modern concepts is compact size. Screwdriver, according to the authors, for some reason must necessarily fit in your pocket. From here are so many multitools-trinkets.
Titanium Pocket Bit
The smallest screwdriver with a key ring that would act as a handle.
Little Bit - for obvious reasons, did not take off
Same as above.
Wrench-screwdriver-opener
And many others…
Balance between size and functionality
Very important. Let the screwdriver does not fit in your pocket, but conveniently lies in a bag or backpack, but still let it perform its basic functions! Then it will be more than cool.
Xaiomi
The models of this brand look very balanced: firstly, everything is made of enough high-quality materials, and this is not just a decorative hand-made article.
Plus, the dimensions themselves are hardly much larger than a modern smartphone: you can fit in your pocket.
And, of course, the number of tools is impressive. In the normal version there are 24 of them.
Included with Xiaomi electric screwdriver is attached 56 interchangeable nozzles.
This screwdriver works at a speed of 200 rpm. Battery charging time is about 40 minutes. Also included is a stand, magnetic mat. This version is more suitable for stationary use.
