Here at Columbia River Knife & Tool® (CRKT®) we're inspired by great
design. Our I.D. Works® products are not tools you will find anywhere
else. We're motivated by design that is both inspired and functional, as
created 500 years ago by painter, sculptor, architect, and inventor
Leonardo da Vinci, who said "observe everything" in nature. We've
partnered with the best and brightest designers of today who share this
vision of putting functional art in your hand. They are organic and
ergonomic shapes, sometimes whimsical, alway useful. These unique tools
make up our growing I.D. Works® line. Put them to use, enjoy them, and
always remember what inspires you!
Our Flux™ modular tool system is another creative design by Launce
Barber and Tom Stokes as a part of our I.D. Works® tool family. It is a
lightweight, high-tech system designed for people with active outdoor
lifestyles.
This exciting new system was named the 2009 Most Innovative Imported
Design at the Blade Show in Atlanta, Georgia, when it was first
displayed in May of 2009.
At the core of the Flux system is the lightweight aluminum carabiner
chassis which allows tools to be quickly selected, attached, and clipped
on clothing and gear. Two chassis are available; one with dual rails
which will hold any two Flux tools, and one with a single rail which
provides a carabiner for any single Flux tool. Note: Flux carabiners are
non-weight-bearing and must not be used as a climbing aid.
Flux™ Driver. This hex driver functions as a standard screwdriver and as
a T-handle driver, depending on where the bit extension adapter is
placed. It includes three hex bits (one Phillips, two flat) which each
have small ball detents to hold them securely in the driver handle until
needed. The Driver's utility is enhanced by a small L.E.D. work light
near the tip to light the work space. A Single Chassis 9042 Carabiner is
included.
Using the Flux system, the lightweight tools are easy to select and
carry for any activity. Just "pick and click" the tool you need.
