The 'Eck Hammer' is a compact hammer multitool whose signature feature is complemented by several workshop-style functions in a form sized for pockets and packs alike.
Designed by Eck Studio, the titanium hammer multitool uses a Grade 5 titanium body to keep overall weight low while relying on interchangeable steel heads for tasks that require repeated impact. Two head options are available, allowing users to switch between a lighter precision head and a heavier striking head depending on the job.
The tool also integrates an adjustable wrench, rulers for quick measurements and a small scriber for marking hard materials. What's apparent is that this particular hammer multitool seeks a deft balance between tool options and portability.
Currently the subject of a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter, the 'Eck Hammer' can be reserved for a campaign price of $179.
