Fix It Again

Replaceable-WrenchLast year Fix It Sticks caught our eye when it successfully launched its first radically designed, all-new bicycle tool on Kickstarter. For 2014, Fix It Sticks is returning to the crowd funding site to help launch two new products, the “Fix It Sticks Replaceable Edition” and the all-new “T-Way Wrench.”

“Each of these tools essentially combines a 3-way wrench, T-wrench, multi-tool and screwdriver all in one small, tough, portable package,” said Brian Davis, founder of Fix It Sticks. “Our new tools easily replace a few hundred dollars worth of shop tools and will free up shop storage space. Besides the bits we provide, the design accepts driver bits found at any hardware store. Virtually any bit can be used; sockets, Torx, hex, and Pozidriv.” Video after the jump

InCOG Stashes Bike Tools on the Bike

In the fictional world of George Orwell’s 1984 Ingsoc was the political ideology of the totalitarian government, and it was known for double speak, a type of hiding the real message. InCOG on the other hand has nothing to do with a nefarious world order, but it offers another take on hiding things.

In this case it is about stashing tools for a bicycle… within a bicycle! The InCOG is a bike-specific multi-tool that can slide into the bike’s handlebars, thus being where it is needed most. The main tool includes hex wrenches and screwdriver bits, while a second tool comes with tire repair kit. It can fit into virtually any handlebar because it basically a series of compartments slung together by an elastic band, thus snaking its way in and out of the bar.

The tool kit is available for pre-order on Ideacious and we say this is an idea whose time has come.
