While it looks nothing more than a simple key fob, the Hex 1.0 Titanium from Rigid Design actually serves as a handy driver that you can use to tighten and loosen bolts or screws in a jiffy. Just pair it with the right bit and get to work, allowing you to perform emergency repairs even without a full-sized tool in tow.
Granted, you’ll need to have the accompanying bit on hand for the darn thing to work. Given how small bits are, though, you should be able to dump the most common ones in a bag pouch, ready to be picked out when the need for them comes up.
The Rigid Design Hex 1.0 Titanium measures less than an inch long, so it should barely take up any space in your pocket. It comes with a hex-shaped hole on one end for accommodating any quarter-inch hex bit, with a hole on the other end for inserting a key ring. Since a sub-inch driver won’t be able to provide any leverage, they’re including a stainless steel split key ring that, when placed on the hole, can be used to generate the necessary leverage to perform actual driving actions.
A magnet mounted inside the hole ensures it delivers a strong hold on the bit, with the quarter-inch hex top allowing it to serve as an extension on any similarly-sized hex female end. Construction is grade 5 titanium, so this should survive the ravages of your daily adventures.
Available now, the Rigid Design Hex 1.0 Titanium is priced at $25.
