Are telescoping allen/hex keys a thing?
Are telescoping allen/hex keys a thing?
I'm not talking about a hex key that extends in length but one where it can collapse in on itself to increase in size.
I did some digging online but all I could find was a patent from a company called TeleHex but it kind of sounds like they came and went in the mid 2000s. They're website doesn't seem to exist.
I feel like it could save space in my pocket compared to a typical hex key set or a multibit.
I was hoping I could at least find a bootleg version on Ali Express.
You're viewing a single thread.
Perhaps you could get a bit kit like this and replace the bits with hex bits. This one is made by Victorinox
I wonder if there is a 1/4" hex drive set where the bits work like those old pencils
lol you'd have to sort through all of them one at a time to find the right one every time
True. You'd be giving up a bit of convenience for a bit of compactness. It wouldn't be too bad with three separate tubes for Allen, Torx, and Phillips/flat/square
I have this nifty thing, but it isn't exactly pocket friendly. https://lemm.ee/pictrs/image/a21b3474-8e3b-4eed-851d-cf96889384d1.webp
