This is a tool designed by Robert Hillian that won the Future Engineers Space Tool Design Competition held by NASA and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Foundation.Future Engineers Space Tool Design CompetitionThe Multi-Purpose Precision Maintenance Tool has a number of important tools which allow an astronaut to complete tasks with comfort and ease. The different sized drives at the top allow the user to attach sockets. In the center are wrenches of varying sizes, allowing fewer wrenches to be carried to the job site. On the left is a precision measuring tool along with wire gauges and a single edged wire stripper. In the center is an outline for Velcro to be applied allowing easy storage around the station. A circular hole in the bottom center allows for a clip to be used as well. On the right, an ergonomic grip is built into the tool with ridges for better grasp, lastly, a pry bar is built into the ergonomic grip for ease of access.GitHub RepositoryI did not design this. It's an interesting tool and I thought I would share it here.
