Thanks whoever it was here for sharing this kickstarted campaign.

I've only funded one other kickstarted from the get go and it turned out to be a little gimmicky and didn't perform as advertised.

I'm excited to see this one develop and can't wait to see if it actually works.

It's a fantastic concept. I stumble upon it a few months ago when it was promoted prerelease. When I saw the price, I demurred - is it worth 3x my Crank Brothers multi tool that has many more uses, including a chain tool? Not in my opinion.

I'm in as well. Voted for red. Just a small correction... it's "TeleHEX", not helix.

My telehex arrived today!

Very small package, very lightweight, and seems to be well made. Unsure of how useful/ durable it will be, but if it doesn't break, it has a huge size and weight advantage over other multi hex tools.

Thanks again for the recommendation and kudos to the designer.

Got mine, as well. Pretty slick. Would love to see the outer edges rounded off on future versions (digs into my hand when I use it a bit), but think it'll be great for an in-the-bag tool.
