The Challenge: Create The Ultimate EDC Locking Grip. 

A whole new kind of tool not not seen since 1915. This Pocket machine, wrenches, pinches, clamps down and holds fast, harnessing the power of a vice in a light weight pocket tool. 

With a unique blend of double ended clampy-ness, super satisfying mechanical motion, and the ability to clamp the life out of unsuspecting fingers (but in a good way of course) using some of the most advanced materials available to mere mortals, we've made that challenging dream a reality. From clamping nuts to prying nails, Pocket Grip's got you covered. 



️ 5-in-1 Engineering Powerhouse Crush your daily tasks with one tool. The Pocket Grip functions as a Parallel Wrench, Pliers, Hex Driver, Precision Clamp, and Tap. It’s the ultimate "third hand" for engineers, makers, and EDC enthusiasts.

Adaptive Parallel Jaws The star of the show. The jaws remain perfectly parallel up to 20mm (0.78"), allowing you to grip everything from chunky M12 bolts to delicate miniatures for painting or gluing without damaging the surface.

Body: Stainless steel + aluminum + titanium alloy.

 

Satisfying Mechanical Action Equipped with a specially designed lead screw, the mechanism provides a vice-like grip of 21kg+ with just a few turns of the thumb screw. The movement is so smooth and precise it doubles as a high-end mechanical fidget toy.

Ultra-Portable & Precise At just 3.75 inches long and weighing only 103.6g, it offers a massive 15.6Nm of torque in a footprint smaller than most smartphones.

Crocodilian Strength

In simulated environments we had the advantage that we could subject each individual part to extreme stress situations, like here where we were testing the upper jaw and body to see what they could withstand.

We put them under 4kN of force to only show a deflection of 1mm. This was pretty good considering this would be well above any expected use! It also gives our alligator some lovely scales and chompy teeth. This would be the real-world equivalent of hanging 400kg on the end of the Pocket Grip; that's the same as a small piano! Handy to know if you ever needed to jack up a Yamaha…
