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.
Details of the project can be found at the NASA web site:
