We emphasise that quality tools can streamline workflows and minimise frustrations, ultimately leading to better results in both professional and hobbyist projects.
Everyone’s Gone Gaga For The MetMo Grip
We're thrilled to shine a spotlight on the MetMo Grip—an engineering marvel that’s more than just a tool; it’s a desk-side fidget hero and clamping legend. Inspired by a forgotten 1920s wrench patent, we resurrected and reimagined it with CNC precision, premium metals, and a snap-lock jaw that adjusts from 0.5mm to 22mm in an instant.
Ever wondered what really goes into your MetMo Grip? We decided it was time to strip things back—literally—and give you the full breakdown of every component inside this glorious chunk of engineering. Spoiler: there’s zero plastic in sight (yep, really).
From the solid stainless steel upper jaw that doubles as a bottle opener, to the precision-milled drive screw with opposing threads, every part has a purpose—and a story. Even the humble O-rings and shim washers play vital roles in delivering that smooth, one-handed adjustment we’re all hooked on.
At MetMo, we believe that great design is timeless. Our latest creation, the MetMo Grip, is a testament to this philosophy. Drawing inspiration from classic engineering tools, we've reimagined the grip to offer a modern, ergonomic experience without compromising on its rich heritage. Crafted with precision and attention to detail, the MetMo Grip seamlessly blends form and function, making it an essential addition to any workspace.
