The humble screwdriver hasn't changed much over the years when it comes to basic function and form, so the conceptual 'More Uses' screwdriver has been designed to help highlight a multifunctional aesthetic. The screwdriver features a metal capsule-shaped container that can be swiveled open to reveal the stem along with the bits that can be used with different screws. The unit can be changed to function as a conventional screwdriver or have the stem relocated to the middle section to allow for a strong grip.
The conceptual 'More Uses' screwdriver is the design work of Qiu Qi, Yu Hong, Jin Hao, Ma Lyuting and Li Zhengkai, and is the winner of the K-Design Award for 2020.
