The one-handed Pocket Driver has already raised nearly a million dollars on Kickstarter, with 30 days left in the campaign, as of May 26.
MetMo’s Pocket Driver, however, aims for real-world Master Builders who want a ratchet tool they can take anywhere. It’s an attempt to capitalize on the success of the larger Metmo Driver, which the U.K.-based company released onThat two-handed ratchet tool raked in £1.3 million — and its smaller successor may bring in even more support.
The company’s designers took inspiration from Conrad Baumann’s ratchet driver from the 1950’s and what they called its “mesmerising exposed ratchet mechanism.” They ended up with what they called “the most powerful and compact driver in existence.”. The Pocket works with any 1/4 inch hex bit and can store 2 x 25mm bits internally. Its flexible metal arm can be arranged into four different grips, and the makers say its smaller size makes it ideal for handling screws in hard-to-reach places.
It’s perfect for “light/ medium duty tasks like assembling furniture or tightening up a loose bike seat,” MetMo said. MetMo offers eight different versions for those interested in buying the tool on Kickstarter. The most basic version, in black, costs £89, or about $110. A version completely in solid stainless steel costs £165 . And if you need to have the most bling of all the Master Builders, you can fork over £350 for a version plated with 24k gold.
