We own too many single-use devices that break, can't be fixed, and end up in landfill. The average household has 3–5 small power tools, each with its own motor, battery, and charger - most of which will never be repaired.
-
One shared motor and battery system that powers three completely different tools without compromise - ergonomic, intuitive, and visually coherent across every configuration.
-
TOOMO activates the EU's Right to Repair logic at product level: every component is replaceable, every repair guide is free, and refurbished ToolKits are always available. Users can test, personalise, and repair on-site at Shop-in-Shop experiences at stores like OBI.
-
Designed for students, young professionals, and minimalists navigating limited space and budgets - people who want tools that work, look good, and don't need to be replaced every two years.

Target Audience and Personalization
TOOMO is designed for students, young professionals, and minimalists who often navigate limited space and budgets.
Personalization is an essential part of TOOMO’s design. Users can select from various colors and finishes to create a tool that aligns with their preferences, blending functionality with individuality.
Marketing and Reparability
TOOMO offers an affordable, repairable, and accessible solution. Through Shop-in-Shop experiences at stores like OBI, users can test, personalize, and repair their devices on-site.
Additionally, a website provides easy access to replacement parts, repair guides, and customization options.
The website provides a ‘‘build your toolset’’ page. Here, each costumer can create their own personal toolset.
The website also provides repair guides for each product. This way the reparability of each product is secured.
Looking ahead
The TOOMO system is designed to expand.
In the long term, the TOOMO system can be further expanded.
Possible developments include additional functional add-ons such as kitchen or household modules. An expansion of sales channels is also conceivable, for example through online configurators that allow customers to customize their own TOOMO. In the long term, TOOMO could evolve into a modular product platform in which a single base unit enables many different applications.
In this way, TOOMO combines innovation, sustainability, and practical utility, offering a solution for modern,flexible lifestyles.
