How's it goin?
We're Spotify!
I need the simple modularity of socket wrenches and the slim footprint of combination wrenches all in one solution.

Let us explain our situation...
1. Piper
I got Piper when I turned 20 after saving up for YEARS. She's an orange 1997 Ford Mustang and runs as smooth as ever. I'm by no means a mechanic, but I've done quite a few moderate repairs.
2. Fixing my A/C
Recently, my A/C compressor stopped working. I bought a replacement and tried to install it. It was frustratingly difficult.
I had to loosen four long bolts with little to no space to do it.
3. My Wish
Because of the small space I had to work with, I couldn't use
my socket wrench set and had to buy individual combination wrenches to finish the job. I wish I had the convenience of quickly switching sizes while being able to work in tight spots.
A Critique of
Modern Wrenches
While wrenches have come a long way in ways of construction, comfort, and capability, there is still an unfilled gap in the adaptive/modular wrench market.
Socket Wrench
The most common form factor for wrench modularity. It's easy to switch sockets in and out, but it's nearly impossible to work with in tight spots because of its size.
Combination Wrench
The best type of ratcheting wrench when working in a spot with little clearance. The main gripe with these types of wrenches is the need to buy an entire set of them to switch between sizes.
Consumers like Joshua deserve the best of both worlds.
What could the
best ratchet wrench look like?
The wrench that ratchets anywhere.
What's in the box?
CLIQ comes with one wrench and twelve magnetic sockets. All of this fits within a case that's half the size of a tissue box.
The Wrench.
The CLIQ wrench is a sleek, yet durable, take on the modern ratchet wrench. It is double sided and can be used in tight spots.
What's it made of?
The CLIQ wrench is mostly made of non-magnetic A2 steel. It has a durable black oxide coating and a magnetic ratchet made of 420 stainless steel.
Adapt. Adapt. Adapt.
The CLIQ wrench can loosen and tighten from practically any angle of attack. It has a 200 degree range of motion per side.
The Sockets.
Each CLIQ socket is made from non-magnetic A2 steel and contains a magnetic ring for mounting.
The Magic.
When it's time to change wrench sizes, it's at easy as 1, 2, CLIQ! The sockets magnetically snap into place.
The Release.
When it's time to remove a CLIQ socket, all it takes is a bit of thumb-pressure on the rear lip, and... it's out!
