Groove Tool Pro by Ryder Innovation wins Eurobike Innovators Prize

I got a Groove Tool Pro recently only to discover they use non-standard size hex bits, ¼” (6.35mm) hex drive is the standard and theirs are all 6mm. Now I can't customise the bits I carry by taking some of my own, for instance a bog standard Philips PH2 which should have been included in the first place or a bigger flat or whatever the need is.

Why would they feel the need to re-invent the wheel and make a daft decision like this??!

Because… they want you in there “groove”  🤭 it’s all part of the hook, line and sinker concept.

They couldn't possibly be that short sighted, it's a bizarre choice, the 1/4" HEX standard is so common it makes zero sense to use a proprietary or non-standard size. But whatever the case is it reduces the functionality and long term usefulness of the tool, which is sad because it is otherwise a really clever little tool.
