by Introducing the Tiroler, an innovative titanium ring designed to enhance your everyday carry (EDC) toolkit. While EDC multitools are versatile, they often lack accurate measuring capabilities. The Tiroler aims to solve this problem by incorporating a smart and portable design that allows for precise measurements.
Traditionally, EDC multitools with built-in rulers offer limited measuring capabilities as their rulers are usually short. Consequently, users end up measuring objects in increments of three or four inches, regardless of their actual length. The Tiroler, which is currently being crowdfunded on Kickstarter, addresses this issue.
The Tiroler ring features a unique design that allows the central wheel, marked with either an imperial or metric scale, to spin freely as the user holds the outside of the ring and rolls it along a surface. The measurement readings are displayed through a small window on the outer ring. To help users keep track of their measurements, the Tiroler emits a satisfying click each time it completes one revolution.
For the metric version, the click is delivered every 10 centimeters, while the imperial version produces a click after every five inches. This means that users can accurately measure objects by counting the number of clicks and adding the displayed measurement on the device. The Tiroler’s compact form factor allows for limitless measuring ability, as long as users can remember the number of clicks.
The Tiroler’s rolling design also makes it ideal for measuring irregularly shaped objects such as seat cushions or round bowls. With this innovative measuring tool, users can avoid the struggle of dealing with sharp and flexible metal strips commonly found in traditional tape measures.
Apart from its functionality, the Tiroler boasts a sleek design that can be worn as a fashionable necklace. For those who prefer a different carrying method, the ring is also available with a small leather pouch that can be attached to a keyring.
Backed by the Kickstarter community, the Tiroler campaign has raised over $143,000, surpassing its initial funding target of $3,343. With 11 days remaining in the campaign, early-bird pledges are still available for ¥8,650 (approximately $58) for the metric version or ¥10,300 (about $69) for the imperial model.
While it is important to exercise caution when supporting crowdfunded projects, the Tiroler has already demonstrated significant support and is likely to move forward. If all goes according to plan, the Tiroler will begin shipping in mid-December, bringing its accurate measuring capabilities to EDC enthusiasts worldwide.
