Every great product starts somewhere—often in a workshop full of wild ideas, exploded prototypes, and the occasional insurance risk! In this behind-the-scenes dive, we look back at the curious contraptions and “what-were-we-thinking” builds that eventually led to the sleek, refined Multi Drive.

From the Danger Knife (aka a high-precision vacuum-launched foot-stabber), to a ratchet mechanism so tiny it needed dental-grade tools to make, to a PEEK plastic prototype that felt more like a sponge than a screwdriver—each misstep taught us something valuable (and occasionally hilarious).

And let’s not forget the 3kg brass One Tonne Case, which looked cool, felt like a Bond gadget, and required serious biceps to carry.

These discarded designs are more than just failures—they’re part of the MetMo DNA: over-engineered, beautifully mad, and a bit dangerous. Because building something great means getting your hands dirty and your desk a bit scorched.

In our latest blog post, "Making a Multi Drive," we take you behind the scenes of crafting the MetMo Multi Drive prototype. Before finalizing the design, we created a working model from mild steel to test functionality and identify potential manufacturing issues. This hands-on approach allowed us to refine the tool's design and ensure it met our high standards.

At MetMo, we're all about precision — and in our latest blog post, "Time to Inspectyor Gadget," we pull back the curtain on how we rigorously inspect every single Pocket Driver component. We don't just glance at parts; we dive deep, testing batches with a master unit, assembling and disassembling the Pocket Driver over 200 times to make sure everything fits and functions perfectly. This hard-core inspection means every tool we send out is built to last and performs flawlessly. If you want the full scoop on our quality hustle, check out the blog!

In our latest blog post, we take you behind the scenes of the Pocket Driver's pre-production run. While we were thrilled to see our design come to life, we also encountered some challenges that pushed us to refine our tool even further.

The Pocket Pack is a compact, wearable tool case designed to keep your MetMo Pocket Driver and its accessories organized and accessible. Crafted from premium top-grain leather, it combines durability with a timeless aesthetic. Its versatile design allows it to be worn on a belt, hung from a carabiner, or unrolled on a workbench like a traditional tool roll.

Ever wondered how your MetMo Pocket Driver goes from a solid billet of aluminium to the sleek tool in your hand? In this post, we take you behind the scenes of our CNC machining process.

Before any MetMo Driver hits your toolbox, it goes through Shark Tank-level quality checks—30 random bits from each batch, microscope inspections, and rigorous go/no-go decisions. No corners cut, flaws caught early.
