TRO Designs has debuted a new ‘Superleggera,’ an ultralight ratchet driver tool. The handy offering comes as a part of TRO’s project on Indiegogo, a crowdfunding platform for innovative devices. The ‘Superleggera’ is made from titanium, carbon fiber, and aluminum, and is closer in size to a ¼” bit ratchet. This tool is designed to aid consumers in off-road expeditions, boasting a flexible head, magnetic ¼” hex bit socket, and is rated for M8 diameter fasteners.
The ‘Superleggera’ weighs approximately 83 grams, while the smaller ‘Stubby’ version weighs only 66 and comes decorated in a gold metal. Interested parties can support TRO Designs’ ‘Superleggera’ project on Indiegogo’s website. The driver tool is priced at $188 USD.
