Hottaploq Hott

Tools often Carry design. Their goal is to accomplish things, so their shape focuses exclusively on the completion of things. This is the place where the Hoto Snapbloq Tools group is unique: these tools emphasize the style and design to prove that the function does not need to have a rough, utilitarian and (usually) style.

The Hot’s Snapbloq line is a collection of three small power tools for tampering and amateurs. The whole group consists of a screwdriver, a rotating tool, and training, along with three cases of tools and six cases of magnetic accessories for holding parts. The entire collection is characterized by elegant and modern forms that have become widespread in the world of technology today, deprived of fasteners, screws, and sections that reveal its manufactured nature and assembly. The package includes three tools (R-A04, D-A03 and S-A01) and has $ 300, although you can buy each tool separately for $ 100.

All the three tools have an aluminum dwellings with oxide with a plastic back plate. They feel somewhat accurate, and they are able to withstand basic drops without any damage, and weigh about 100 grams each. The fist areas contain a straight obstruction to improve a grip, and the buttons are a flexible rubber plate with small keys under it. There are no layers that surround the buttons in which dust or molecules can become included, and they are beneficial to the tools that are likely to create small portable molecules.

Of the three, the screwdriver is the most convenient, practical and useful. For informal tampering, this tool does a quick work for most small screws on and inside electronics. However, it does not mean much more-with 0.5 meters of torque 0.5 torque, struggled with this device to reduce the bolts with a fairly narrow in my tests, and I could not get it in particular narrow. I found myself regularly in need to rotate the screwdriver (or postpone the standard screwdriver) for anything that requires more strength to tighten or relieve. On the other hand, the relatively low force of this bolts means that it was difficult to intersect, strip or damage the screws during use, which gave me peace of mind. It is a comfortable tool, but in the end, it should be completed by a standard screwdriver.
