Boutique pump manufacture Silca is branching out of inflation by developing a line of high-end tools. The soon to be released HX-One tool kit is likely to be a hit with shop mechanics and home wrenches who appreciate high-quality tools.

The us$125 hx-one kit includes eight hex wrenches and six torx bit along with two phillips and two flathead bits:

The HX One tool kit includes 10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2.5 and 2mm hex wrenches. The hex wrenches are constructed from chrome-plated S-2 tool steel and feature easy to grip textured polymer handles.

A magnetic adapter turns the 6mm key into a 1/4in driver for the supplied bits:

In addition to the eight hex wrenches, Silca includes a magnetic adapter that turns the 6mm key into a 1/4in socket drive, allowing it to be used with any 1/4in driver bit. Silca includes six Torx bits (T8, T10, T15, T20, T25, and T30) two philips heads, and two flat heads with the kit.

The tools are housed in a CNC-machined box constructed from beech wood with a Silca stainless steel shield emblazoned on the lid.

This HX One will retail for US$125 (UK and Australian pricing has yet to be released). Silca expects to begin shipping HX-One tool kits in limited quantities in early September.
