Folding Tool Set

I hate having to keep multiple Allen wrenches since I never know where they end up and its super inconvenient. I try to get adatores, plates, tripods, whatever camera accessories I need that DO NOT require an allen wrench or a penny to tighten. A simple thumb screw allows you to tighen on the spot and whenever you need too. But unfortunately I still have some itmes that need the tools for tightening. I saw this and thought its exactly what I need. Its fairly small, about 3 inches long and fits right in your pocket. That's a game changer for me. It has a screw driver tool but its a big slotted one about 3/8" wide for tightening those quick release plates without a wing nut type and usually needs a penny or dime in order to tighten. That's perfect since I have had to borrow a dime in the past to do that. It also has all the Allen wrench sizes I have needed plus a Philips screw head just in case. This is essentially a foldable Allen wrench set like you get at the hardware store but has the Philips head and the slotted head and a small footprint. The quality of this is really nice and it also comes in a nice pouch for storage. A nice bonus to this is several 1/4" screw holes for extra screws in case you need one plus a few other screw hole sizes for the same reason. Great Idea since that has come up as an issue once before. This is really a must have tool if you are a photographer or videographer. Well worth it.

The range of tools covers a wide spectrum of needs, making it a versatile companion on set. Whether I'm adjusting my camera rig, tightening a loose handle, or making last-minute tweaks, this toolkit has me covered. In short, the SMALLRIG Folding Tool Set is a must-have for any filmmaker or photographer. It's compact, reliable, and offers a comprehensive set of tools for a variety of situations. I can't recommend it enough!

I was going through my camera bag the other day, and I kept coming across Hex Key wrenches. I use different plates on my cameras, and it seems that each different plate has a different size Hex Key wrench. What I did was put all these different size wrenches in my camera bag so that I wouldn't be out on a shoot, need to change plates, and not have the right size. Then there are the plates that you need to have a dime to tighten the screws, "Hey buddy, do you have change for a quartet?"...Isn't that kind of like putting a round peg in a square hole? UGH! Well, the solution is the Smallrig Folding Tool Set. I just keep it with my lens blower, and I always have the right size Hex Key wrench, and a flat head screwdriver to tighten or loosen my plates. what is nice is you can put the wrench straight out and use it like a screwdriver, or you can turn it to a 90º angle and crank down a little harder like you wold with a Hex Key Wrench. The Pros: First: It saves you time and frustration looking for the right size wrench. Second: All of your tools are in one place Third: It comes in a nice little bag, that goes in a nice little zippered case. ( I actually just put those things aside...but it is a nice touch) It fits nicely in a pocket. Fourth: It fits just about everything. I have tried it with all of my plates, and I have even tried it on the legs of my Manfrotto tripod...and it works. I am not saying that it will work on everything... but if you get one of these, you can try it on your kit and see where it works. It is not that you are tightening the legs on your tripod all that much, but it is a secure feeling to know that you can if you have to. (Most tripod companies don't give you a Hex Key Wrench for adjusting the tension on the legs) The cons: First of all, it costs a lot more than a bunch of free Hex Key wrenches. I just figure that it saves me time and frustration when I need to change a plate and I have to dig around my camera bag. $20 is quite a bit, but I have used mine several times since I received, and everything went faster and smoother than all of those times before. Second: I am not exactly sure how well built this thing is. I read a review that said that they busted off one of the Hex Key Wrenches, So, I guess, if you go into it knowing that you can be the Incredible Hulk if you aren't careful, you won't try to turn the screw to tight...just a thought. But really, if you just tighten it down without trying to make it never come out, you should be okay. So, That's my review on this tool. I like it, it works for me, and I use it. Give it a try, and I think that you will understand why I like it. Good luck.

Must buy for any photographer/videographer out there. Very handy tool with prob every bit you may encounter that you would need to tighten or loosen.

Compact and high quality. Perfect to bring to any photo shoot. Mine shipped with the screws a bit too tight for my liking but I was able to easily loosen them

撮影機材の調整やアクセサリーの取り付けなどで「たまに必要になる六角レンチ類」を、まさにちょうどいいサイズ感とセット内容でまとめてくれた優秀なアイテム。 ビルドクオリティも高くて安心感があり、カメラバッグに一つ入れておくと本当に助かる存在です。 唯一、折りたたみ式の開閉が少し硬めなのが気になりますが、その分ガタつかずにしっかりしてるとも言えるので許容範囲。 SmallRigらしい細かい配慮が光るアイテムでした。

Kit compatto e robusto, ideale da avere sempre a portata di mano. Sia se si deve avvitare il supporto per la rod del Nucleus, sia per le viti fotografiche, questo tool fa il suo lavoro senza problemi. Gli attrezzi pieghevoli sono funzionali e resistenti per l’uso quotidiano su cage, rig e accessori SmallRig, ma non consiglio di fare estrema forza con i tool esagonali, li ho spezzati stringendo a morte. Pratico e veloce, permette di intervenire sul set senza perdere tempo a cercare strumenti sparsi. È il terzo che compro: uno l’ho perso, uno si è rotto, e questo alla fine l’ho regalato. Nonostante ciò, ne comprerò sicuramente un altro perché rimane un accessorio indispensabile per chi lavora con attrezzature modulari e vuole avere tutto a portata di mano.
