Whether you're a DIY enthusiast, a seasoned machinist, or just someone who appreciates well-made tools, understanding the different types of vises can seriously elevate your workshop game. From the classic bench vise to the precision of a machine vise, each type is engineered for specific tasks — and knowing the right one to use can save you time, frustration, and even improve the quality of your work. In this guide, we break down 10 essential vise types, how they work, and what makes each one a must-have (or not) depending on your project.

When it comes to engineering excellence, the tools you carry are only part of the story — how you carry them matters too. In An Ultimate Case, we take you behind the scenes of the design and development of the Multi Drive Expansion Kit: a storage solution as precisely crafted as the tool it protects. From material choices to the satisfying click of the magnetic closure, every detail was obsessively refined to balance durability, usability, and style. This isn't just a case — it's an experience built for creators who care as much about their gear as the projects they bring to life.

Your makerspace is more than just a workbench—it's your creative command center. Whether you're soldering circuits, carving wood, or prototyping your next big idea, the design of your space can make or break your workflow. In this post, we dive into six essential design principles that turn any workspace into a maketastic haven of productivity, inspiration, and efficiency. From layout logic to storage hacks, these tips will help you build a space that works as hard as you do.

Say hello to The Stubster—your palm-sized, micro-handle sidekick that squeezes into tight spaces where the regular Multi Drive can’t reach. It packs all the same handy features as its full-size sibling—bit-holding, secure grip, quick-swapping—all wrapped into a compact powerhouse.

But helical gears are great – to look at and to use. And you’ll find them in a lot of places. So let’s get our butts into gear and explore these smooth criminals of the engineering world.

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.

Why step up your tool game?
Your modelling skills will outgrow basic gear pretty fast. A sharp, sturdy setup lets you finesse details, save time, and spare your fingers the agony of crummy kits.

We’re tearing apart the Multi Drive and looking at each piece in excruciating detail.

We delve into the fascinating world of air bearings—components that use a thin film of pressurised gas to provide a low-friction interface between surfaces.
