Is that a WOKit in your pocket?
The new Woho WOKit is ratcheting its way through Kickstarter with this carabiner multitool that fits a surprising number of tools into a compact and utterly useful package.
By using a 6061-T6 forged alloy carabiner as the handle with an integrated 1/4″ ratchet, it allows for quick bit changes and a heat treated chromoly steel wrench to be locked into place for adjusting pedals and much more. The design has been iterated upon since August 2013, and it shows with a multitude of clever touches. For example, a soft, single-sided Velcro strap keeps it all snugly together without any of Velcro’s scratchiness that could snag on jersey pocket material. And a thin wire loop lets the accessories compartment dangle freely if you’re hipstering it to your belt loop, to which you could easily add a second loop for house and car keys.

The base set comes with the allen/torx keys shown at the top. A larger set includes the socket set, which is aimed more at skaters or those just wanting a versatile tool to keep around the house.

Their Kickstarter campaign has 22 days to go as of this post, and they’re just about to meet their goal. An early bird special gets you the cycling version for just $35, after which it’ll jump to about $48 (still a good deal). Add the socket set and it’ll run $45 to $52 depending on whether you want the skateboard set or standard set.
