'Hanboost,' a United States-based tool and equipment manufacturer, officially launched the 'HBT-471' screwdriver set following a successful campaign on Kickstarter. The Kickstarter campaign for the screwdriver raised over $27,000 in just a few months with the perks, and the subsequently-launched screwdriver, quickly selling out of stock.
The HBT-471 is a compact, pocket-sized screwdriver with a clamshell case. The case opens to reveal 47 different bits with the screwdriver itself contained in between the two bit compartments. This is a very compact design that offers a ton of utility, solidifying this as a useful tool in the home, as an everyday carry, or in the workplace, depending on the job. The company markets the HBT-471 as a full toolset for DIY projects, particularly for small electronics or other small tools, as most of the bits included in the HBT-471 are on the smaller side.
