A GR5 titanium EDC tool that stores 5 bits, turns into a pen, extends for deep-reach tasks, and doubles as two fidget toys.
For the everyday carry (EDC) enthusiast, the creator, the fixer, or anyone who finds themselves fidgeting, the Fixboy, featured on Kickstarter, offers a truly ingenious all-in-one solution. This compact, GR5 titanium tool combines a screwdriver, a pen, bit storage, an extension rod, and two satisfying fidget features into a single, thumb-sized device.
Project Overview
Name and Creator: FixBoy – Screw, Fidget, Write, Extend, Store. All in One. by Eck Studio
What It Is: A GR5 titanium EDC tool designed for repair, creativity, and tactile play, integrating multiple functions into a highly portable and durable form.
Key Features
Multi-functional EDC Tool: Combines the utility of a screwdriver, the inspiration of a pen, the practicality of bit storage, and the stress relief of a fidget toy.
GR5 Titanium Construction: Crafted from premium aerospace-grade GR5 titanium, ensuring exceptional strength, lightness, and resistance to corrosion, impacts, and extreme temperatures.
Revolver-Style Magnetic Bit Storage: Features five magnetic slots for your most-used 4mm screwdriver bits (Phillips, flathead, hex, etc.) in a sleek, rotating chamber inspired by a revolver. This allows for quick and satisfying bit changes.
Optional Eternal Pen Module: Transforms the tool into a reliable, ink-free writing instrument. The pen tip, made from a specially treated third-generation metal alloy, deposits metal particles on paper through friction, similar to metalpoint, lasting much longer than a traditional pencil.
Retractable Extension Rod (Deep-Reach Mode): A hidden internal rod can be pushed out to instantly extend the screwdriver's reach (from 23mm to 40mm), allowing access to tight spots and deep screws.
Dual Fidget Experience:
12-Click Spinner Disc: Offers smooth resistance and precise tactile feedback with every turn, perfect for refocusing.
Bolt-Action Slider: A spring-loaded slider snaps back instantly with a crisp, clean, and endlessly satisfying mechanical feedback, designed for one-handed play.
Tritium Ready: Comes with four dedicated slots for installing tritium glow tubes (not included by default, available as an add-on) for enhanced visibility in low-light environments.
Compact & Portable Design: Roughly the size of a thumb, it's lightweight and includes a built-in lanyard hole for flexible carry options (keychain, pendant, backpack, pocket).
