After nearly two decades covering the off-road industry, I’ve learned to spot the difference between trail-ready gear and garage clutter. Let’s face it—our aftermarket world is filled with overpriced gadgets and gimmicks designed more to empty wallets than help in real-world situations. Yet somehow, the off-road accessories market continues to haul in more than $25 billion a year.
That’s why it’s refreshing when a product comes along that bucks the trend—something useful, well-designed, and built with purpose.
Recently, I had the chance to connect with Grant, founder and designer of Rockworkx, a U.S.-based company focused on innovative, performance-driven off-road tools. He introduced me to their flagship product, the T7 Multitool—and it’s one of the most thoughtfully designed pieces of gear I’ve seen in a long time.
At first glance, the T7 looks like a colorful seat mount or hitch plate. But don’t let its clean design fool you. This hardened aluminum unit transforms into nine different tools, each tailored for off-road practicality:
- Dirt, sand, and snow shovel
- Full-size tow hitch
- Hammer with nail puller
- 12 imperial and 13 metric wrench heads
- Ruler
- Pry bar
- Adjustable trenching hoe
- Wood axe (long and short handle)
- Camp stool
That’s right—a seat, shovel, and axe all in one compact package. It’s the Swiss Army knife of trail tools, built for people who actually use their gear.
As someone who’s spent hours stuck on trails, I immediately saw the value. I’ve learned to pack smart—lighter, smaller, and more purposeful—and the T7 fits that ethos perfectly. With the optional MOLLE/tube mount, it takes up minimal space in the back of our Ford Bronco Raptor, ready for whatever the trail throws our way.
Built for the Trail, Priced for the Serious
Of course, quality and innovation come at a cost. The T7 retails for $289, and the universal MOLLE mount runs around $55. It’s not a budget buy—but for a tool that replaces half your kit and actually holds up in the wild, the price feels justified.
If you’re tired of gimmicks and ready for gear that earns its keep, give the T7 a look. Check it out at Rockworkx.com. It just might become the most useful thing in your off-road arsenal.
