We have all used a set of hex keys, most of them being retained and organized by a plastic caddy. The standard case, which has been in use for decades, has one major flaw however; in order to remove a certain tool, typically other tools need to be spun or moved out of the way to avoid interference and allow the desired tool to be removed. This is due to the fact that the tools can only be removed vertically relative to the case.
Now, for some people this isn’t an issue, but for those of us who use their hex keys daily it is a bothersome process which wastes valuable time. The time wasted using the current design may seem small, but when you multiply it by multiple engineers working 5 days a week the time and cost begin to add up fast.
The Quickaddy solves this problem by allowing any tool in the case to be removed vertically or horizontally relative to the carrying case by replacing the traditional through holes with slots running the length of the case. Tools are retained by magnets located inside the case. This not only allows the user to access the tool more efficiently but also keeps them organized and in one place. With the time saved alone, this product pays for itself very quickly and many times over.
