Tag : Home Tool Kit

The Tight Fit® Tool Kit, developed in the aerospace industry,was the first item featured at a nationally televised celebrationof innovation and Yankee ingenuity held at the Franklin Institutein Philadelphia. The event honored Ben Franklin's 300th birthday.Noting Franklin's penchant for practicality, Lloyd commented,"the kit provides simple solutions for problems made difficultdue to limited work space."
The tools' origins can be traced to aircraft design whereaerodynamic shape required development of compact,"full-power" tools that work in very tight places."Today," the inventor said, "with more thingssqueezed into less space at home and on cars, boats, RV's, etc.,fathers increasingly experience "strait-jacketed"frustration when conventional tools will not fit in tight placesand simple jobs become hair-pulling nightmares. For professionals,time is money; for dads, less stress can be a life saver."
The kit scored high in all of the following categories:
1. Simple to use and understand; 2. Makes difficult jobs easy; 3.Wide range of uses; 4. Saves time and expense; 5. Highvalue-to-cost ratio; 6. Good quality-to-price ratio; 7. Durablewith good longevity; 8. Good portability and storage; 9.Ergonomically safe design; 10. New to home users but has longhistory of use by professionals
The tools in the kit address a wide range of repair headaches. But,as a bonus, many standard tools already in dad's toolbox can beused with the kit in tight fit situations. "Thesefeatures," he said, "make it a good Father's Day gift.But, what makes it a great gift choice is the fact that it is newand not yet in any stores. This provides opportunity to surprisedad or granddad with an innovative set of practical, extremelyversatile, time-saving tools he doesn't already have."
