| Source: LoggerHead Tools
CHICAGO, IL -- (MARKET WIRE) -- April 18, 2007 -- LoggerHead Tools has simplified spring
gift-giving -- the company is packaging its award-winning ImmiX™
multi-tool with personalized pop-up cards specifically for Mother's Day,
Father's Day, weddings and graduations. The ImmiX™ arrives ready to
give in a
color-coordinated pillow box.
A One-of-a-Kind Gift that Lasts a Lifetime
The ImmiX™ replaces a chest of tools in a compact, 6-inch, 8-ounce
package. It's like having 14 full-sized wrenches, 10 screwdrivers and 2
knives, without the bulk. Tucked in its black nylon carrying case, the
ImmiX™ can be stowed in a pocket, drawer or glove compartment. The
ImmiX™ is quality-made in the United States and guaranteed for life.
Mom's Domestic Survival Tool
If the junk drawer is becoming a tool drawer, Mom may appreciate an
ImmiX™. Mom can use the ImmiX™ for serious DIY projects or for
routine household tasks. It's handy in the kitchen for opening boxes and
clam-shell packaging, for replacing batteries in children's toys, and for
turning nuts and bolts. The Mother's Day ImmiX™ arrives in a silver
pillow box, and its package opens to reveal a personalized, pop-up card of
a dozen pink roses.
Dads and Gadgets: A Winning Combo
With Dad, you can't go wrong with a cool gadget. The ImmiX™ more than
qualifies, having just won the prestigious 2007 iF product design award
from the International Design Forum for its cutting-edge, contemporary
design. Dad can use the ImmiX™ for assembling furniture and equipment,
home repairs, cutting twine and opening cartons. The Father's Day
ImmiX™ package features a personalized, pop-up card of ugly ties. It
comes in a black pillow box.
For the New Couple or Groomsmen
The ImmiX™ is a practical and unique wedding gift that will last -- a
fitting accompaniment for "'til death do us part." The ImmiX™ will come
in handy right away, as the newlyweds will have numerous boxes to open and
new items to assemble. The ImmiX™ is also a distinctive gift for
honoring the groomsmen or the father of the bride or groom. The wedding
ImmiX™ package features two card choices. The newlywed version features
an image of a wedding cake; the groomsman version features the LoggerHead
Tools turtle popping out of the cake with an ImmiX™. Both packages
arrive in a silver pillow box.
For Graduates: A Gift that Travels
Whether heading off to college or starting a first job, any graduate could
use a portable, compact set of high-quality tools. A table knife only goes
so far -- and sooner or later real tools become a necessity. The ImmiX™
is a durable and useful gift that will travel with the graduate to college,
to the first apartment, first house and beyond. The graduate ImmiX™
package features a personalized pop-up card of a mortar board with a real
tassel, and comes in a black pillow box.
How the ImmiX™ Works
At the core of the ImmiX™ multi-tool is the patented 6-inch Bionic
Wrench™ head, which automatically adjusts to fit 14 sizes of metric and
standard fasteners. It entirely surrounds nuts and bolts, gripping the
flat sides, so it doesn't round or strip corners like traditional wrenches.
The ImmiX™ 10X model also stores 10 of the most commonly used
screwdriver bits in its handles; and has two stainless-steel knife blades
-- one smooth and one serrated.
The screwdriver heads fit into a magnetic bit driver at the end of the
body. When the handles are closed, they form a full-function screwdriver
with a pistol grip. The ImmiX™ has a nickel finish and comes with a
durable, black synthetic carrying case with a leather belt loop.
Gripping Experience Becomes Gifting Experience
"Now 'a gripping experience' is 'a gifting experience,'" said LoggerHead
Tools President Dan Brown. He added, "While most tools lack the excitement
necessary in a gift item, the ImmiX™ has a compelling, universal design
that appeals to men and women of all ages. We created this personalized
gift packaging to be as engaging and fun as the ImmiX™."
Design Awards
Besides the iF product design award, the ImmiX has won the 2006 Good Design
award from the Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture and Design for its
innovative product concept. The Bionic Wrench™ component of the
ImmiX™ has won numerous international design awards, including the 2006
Red Dot: Best of the Best distinction for pioneering design in its category
and the 2005 iF Gold award from the International Design Forum. The Bionic
Wrench™ also was nominated by the German government for the prestigious
German Design award and received the 2005 Popular Mechanics Editor's Choice
award.
