"I had a look at adding a spoke wrench but there wasn't enough room for it anyhere sensible so i'll have a go at a bike tool soon."maybe put one on top/below the 1/4" hex driver? there are already grooves for an O-ring, shouldn't be too hard to re-design them to be spoke wrenches

Dear Santa......
These look great! I'm drooling already! Def
Follow up:The bit drivers and wrenches work perfectly. Very good fit. And again, the bottle opener is flawless.
Are you really sure it's rust and not just the bronze starting to acquire color? We are talking about 420 type steel and bronze, I have a hard time believing it should rust easily.
I would have to agree Tofty. Putting the spoke wrench in that area may compromise the structure. A bike specific tool would be the only answer I think. If you build it, we will buy it!¡!(Image removed from quote.)

For the star, are the bits out on a 10-15deg? Or are they straight out? If they were straight out and all had a hex at the base you could use a driver on all of them and just rotate it to use the next one? JR
the drive star idea looks really interesting.
There are some great ideas there Mate
Agree! Those are very clever and aesthetically appealing tools.
Man Tofty, your designs are just awesome!I know I can do the electronics and mechanics of building a CNC mill and lathe, but Im weak on the CAD side. I have lots to learn, but seeing your stuff is very inspiring!
Interesting stuff Tofty..
Very nice Tofty!¡!
That's a rather clever design.So is it made from a steel, and does it hold up well?
