Allen Key Bike Tool
I have a huge interest in mountain biking and during my spare time I try to get out as much as I can. One of the essential tools for regular bikers is an Allen key tool. I decided to take one of my current Allen key sets which I own and to improve the function of the product and to improve the aesthetics of it. I wanted to make the tool easier to use, I did this by taking anthropometric measurements to allow a fingers thickness inside the product to take each Allen key out one by one. To improve the aesthetics I added subtle details such as the chamfer along the edge of my panel, I also changed the shape of the component based on Zaha Hadid's Vitra Fire Station.
