Multi-Purpose Precision Maintenance Tool

In 2015 Robert Hillan, a student from Alabama, won a competition sponsored by NASA and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Foundation for a tool to be 3D printed on the Space Station and used by the astronauts for maintenance work. The tool had drives for sockets, various hex-wenches, a wire gauge, a wire stripper, pry bar and a measuring tool. The rectangular depression at the top-right was for a Velcro patch for easy storage and a round hole to hang the tool from a hook or clip.
