CR9904: Ryan Glasgow 9904 Twist & Fix

CRKT

"Wheel": reinvented. Nearly every garage and catch-all drawer in existence is home to a torx and hex tool. But not like this one. The Twist & Fix tool is an ingenious take on one of our most basic necessities to make an everyday repair job just a little more awesome.

Designer Ryan Glasgow has always been fascinated by the simplicity and usability of a bent-pin coupler—a form of old mechanical linkage. In his shop in Portland, Oregon, he spent years tinkering, trying to apply it to a multi-tool in a way that’s fun to use and highly useful. The end result: the Twist & Fix. Instead of being housed in fixed, eternal bearings, each element in the toolset revolves around a central axle, lengthening the tool you need and keeping the others out of the way. They’re held together with a low-profile frame, snapping in and out with ease so your workflow remains uninterrupted.

The Twist & Fix is proof that ingenuity can add a little fun to mundane maintenance.
