You know that little allen driver that comes with your new bookshelf or cabinet that’s supposed to make it easier to put things together? Well, it doesn’t. And rummaging through your toolbox for the perfect-sized screwdriver to fit in that cramped space often leads to frustration as well. Now, MetMo, maker of fun and functional tools such as its desktop cube and mini vice grip, has returned for a more compact version of its super-satisfying Driver tool.
Fitting easily into your pocket, the MetMo Pocket Driver weighs just 3.8oz, stretches just 4” long, and is the perfect tool for both the everyday handyman and the professional engineer. Intended to be your go-to, all-in-one driver for any task, the unit is made from heat-treated stainless steel and aircraft-grade aluminum and features a magnetic socket for fitting screw bits, mini screw bits, allen bits, and hex bits. However, it functions just like a ratchet driver that’s twice as big.
Inspired by Conrad Baumann’s patented tool from the 1920s, but engineered with modern-day technologies, the Pocket Driver allows you to build your furniture much faster while also feeling comfortable in your hand as you do so. Made for even the least-nimble people in the world, the redesigned handle adjusts fluidly to any angle and design you need it to work with — no matter how tight the space is. Not to mention, the satisfying twisting function of the tool will get you wanting to build more, and without needing to use two hands to do so. Doubling as a fidget toy, this driver is fun to play with even if there’s nothing to build at all.
This is MetMo’s sixth successful Kickstarter campaign, already having met its goal. However, you still have until June 26 to take advantage of early bird prices. Get your Pocket Driver now for £89 (~$114).
