FixBoy: The Pocket-Sized Titanium Tool That Does It All
By Qamar Shahzad — May 26, 2025 — Tech
For those tired of juggling multiple tools, the FixBoy reimagines everyday carry essentials. This Grade 5 titanium multitool, now crowdfunding on Kickstarter, packs a bit driver, fidget toy, pen holder, and bit storage into a sleek 45mm frame, smaller than an AA battery.
Precision Meets Portability
Designed by Hong Kong’s Eck Studio, the FixBoy’s revolver-style chamber holds five S2 steel bits (SL2.0, PH1, T6, T8, H2.0) with magnetic security. A spring-loaded bolt action extends the socket by 17mm for hard-to-reach screws, while a rotating top disc lets you swiftly swap bits mid-task.
More Than Just a Screwdriver
- Fidget-Friendly: The smooth rotating mechanism doubles as a stress reliever
- Write Anywhere: Optional eternal pen insert (add-on) replaces one bit slot
- Ultralight Build: At 31.1g, it’s lighter than most key fobs
- Attachment Ready: Lanyard hole works with neck chains, keyrings, or included leather holster
Why Backers Are Buzzing
- No Bulk: Replaces a full toolset without sacrificing functionality
- Third-Party Compatible: Works with any standard 4mm bits
- Kickstarter Exclusive: Early birds snag it for $49 (vs. future $89 retail)
Trendspotting
- “EDC 2.0”: Ultra-compact tools that multitask without compromise
- Crowdfunded Innovation: Niche hardware finds its audience pre-production
- Titanium Everything: Premium materials trickle down to everyday gear
Who Needs One?
- Tech Tinkerers fixing gadgets on the fly
- Keychain Minimalists who hate bulky tools
- Outdoor Enthusiasts needing reliable repairs mid-adventure
The Verdict
The FixBoy isn’t just another pocket tool, it’s a Swiss Army knife for the precision era. With 30+ days left on Kickstarter, early adopters are locking in this titanium marvel before it hits mainstream retail.
