The 'Workingman’s Sword' Makes Use of a Common Tool

— January 1, 2022 — Tech
The 'Workingman’s Sword' is an unexpectedly functional take on the humble smartphone stand that will provide users with the ability to keep the device propped up, while also putting an essential tool in their pocket. The stand consists of a four-directional connector that works by being positioned onto the rear of a smartphone and will provide a spot for a standard M4 hex wrench to be slotted in. This will enable the smartphone to be propped up in a variety of ways to make charging, video calls, content streaming and more far easier for users.

The 'Workingman’s Sword' is the design work of Chaoze Zhong and Chang Wu of the Wild Zoo Design Studio, and is easily stored right on the smartphone for maximum efficiency.
