Can't
find the tool when you need it most?
We rely on all kinds of tools to make our lives more
convenient. We keep them in tool boxes, drawers, garages, storage areas, or
just randomly around the house. We often cannot find the right tool when we
need it most, especially if it is one that we do not regularly use. Formosa
Treasure (FT) and iThinking are bringing you solutions to this all-too-common
problem.
We want to bring you tools that are not only sturdy and practicable, but also modern and fun.
In fact, we are designing frequently-used tools in such a way that can also serve as decorative items and therefore always easy to find. The iThinking design team is bringing you not just ordinary tools, but creatively and thoughtfully designed ones that are convenient, accessible, and aesthetically pleasing.
After more than an year of hard work, we are very excited to present to you: Huku![]()

6 types of commonly used screwdriver heads all hidden within Huku’s body
Huku Design Concept
(Hopefully you can tell by now :) Huku is designed in the shape of an owl. Huku is similar to “Fukurou”, which is the Japanese name for owl. Huku has a stylish and slick appearance, yet it is extremely functional. The body is a screwdriver set with a magnetic head, containing enough space to include 6 different types of frequently-used screwdriver bits. Huku can be a piece of unique desktop decor, or can be readily portable.

In addition, we have tailored our designs for customers who may want even more. We have two advanced models of Huku: one includes a flashlight while the other includes an extension bar with 2 extra bits to enhance usability.

Materials and Construction
All parts of the Huku are expertly selected. The body of Huku is made of polypropylene(PP), which makes it tough and sturdy. The surface of Huku is coated with thermoplastic rubber (TPR), which makes it comfortable to grip and easy to twist. The screwdriver bar contained in the Huku is made of chrome vanadium steel (Cr-V), and the screwdriver bits are made of S2 steel with a silvering finish.

We entrust the manufacturing of Huku to KING TONY, an internationally-known Taiwanese brand that has been specializing in quality professional tools for over 26 years.

Project Timeline
We are fully committed to manufacture and deploy Huku in the US.
