This is for kids of any age who want their own multi tool but maybe can't have one.

  • Designed to accommodate a regular wooden pencil profile
  • Great for old stubby pencils
  • Multi tool pencils can be up to 80mm in length - you can always cut regular pencils in 2 for multi, er, multi tool pencils
  • Kids can assemble their own with the included custom flathead screwdriver!
  • Coloured pencils optional - use 6 different HB pencils if you like. Mix 'em up!

Simply insert the blunt end of a pencil, squeeze the holder gently to grip the pencil - use pliers carefully for more grip.

All items can be printed support and brim free.

Tighten the bolt so that the holders are held by friction but don't over tighten - these are just tiny 3D printed nuts and bolts after all.

I've kept tolerances tight for my set up - if you can't get the nuts and bolts to fit print at 90% flow or drop me a message.
