This is a tool storage system inspired by tactical gear. Although heavily tongue-in-cheek, I designed this concept to offer a true organizational advantage for the home handyman.
DETAILS
Details include drill bit storage, magnetic fastener storage, screw gun and pencil/safety glass storage, spare battery holder, fully adjustable straps, and belt mounted tool pouch. Heavy-duty Velcro and a MOLLE system allow for further expansion of product offerings and customization of the layout and arrangement to the user’s preferences.
MARKET RESEARCH
Based on extensive market research, I envisioned this product to retail at larger home-improvement stores or online retailers with a target price of $50. Additional modular components could be purchased separately.
INSPIRATION PROFILE
The target user for this product was the everyman casual home do-it-yourselfer. The tactical focus of the brand was designed to appeal to the user by gameifying the experience of home improvement.
