That looks very interesting. Would love to see some 'In action' pics V
Looks like a smaller (and more crudely produced) Fix It sticks.Personally, I'm drooling over the Silca T-Ratchet kit (also similar, but with a ratchet included).
Yes, I've drooled at that Silca one a time or three earlier too. It looks like a great kit indeed. The price difference to this one is staggering though, and if you just want something small and functional in your pocket it makes sense to me.
I bet the majority of those keychain bit-holders is not tougher than this.
I think it is a matter of materials and manufacturing method. That normal bit extender is dirt cheap yet both tougher and harder. Apart from surviving the testing unharmed it also had next to no marks after being squeezed with the Cobra plier. The Bitky got flat, ripped apart and had plenty of bitemarks. The bitemarks indicates that it is quite a bit softer material than the pliers. I like the concept though.
Yes, but the bit-extender is from a company that earns a living with that. They probably have years of experience making tools. Tools intended for craftsmen. While those keychain bitholders are EDC gadgets made by an EDC enthusiasts for EDC enthusiasts who carry loads of tools without ever really using them.I agree though, the Bitky has a neat design without the common frills of EDC gadgets (no bottle opener ). I love the idea of the Fix It sticks, but they are large. The Bitky is probably the first truly tiny bit-holder where the design allows to actually allow applying some torque. I'm really sad it did not hold up, but to be hones, I'm not surprised.
