Xceed have introduced a design update to their range of tools, with a new handle shape and colourway. Previously coming in anodised green as a base colour together with a machined raw aluminium colour, the new design uses gun metal grey as a base and features green highlights. The handle is now lighter due to additional holes, and the centre core of the handle has also gone on a diet resulting in a comfortable and lighter feeling. The tool tips themselves remain the same, made from HSS, and the tools will be available individually or as sets like this Allen wrench combo set, which includes a 1.5mm, 2.0mm, 2.5mm & 3.0mm.

Scorpion have released their convenient and versatile new multi-bit hex driver as part of their high performance tool line. This single tool contains 4 different hex sizes, 1.5mm, 2mm, 2.5mm & 3mm, plus it has an adjustable shaft length for compact storage and use, as well as extended use for those hard to reach bolts. With Scorpion’s hollow core design, and knurled grip surface, you have an ultra lightweight tool with fantastic grip and feeling in the hand. When you pop the top off you then have access to the 4 x tool tip holder and your choice of hardened steel hex driver tips. If the tool in the short configuration is not long enough, then pull up on the locking latch and the tool extends to a locked longer position, no other tools needed for adjustment. When you are finished the tool easily retracts back to its original configuration, and the tool tips magnetically slide back into the tool tip holder.
