NEWS ROXON, makers of the innovative Flex modular multi-tool ecosystem, have introduced high-visibility options to the Flex Companion lineup: Neon Edge and Neon Green. These bold new colors dramatically boost tool visibility, making it much easier to spot your multitool if dropped on the trail, in camp, or lost in a cluttered backpack.
The Modular Advantage
The Flex Companion’s frame system is what sets it apart from fixed-configuration multitools. The frame holds up to five long implements simultaneously, and each tool can be swapped out in seconds without any special equipment. Heading out for a weekend camping trip? Load up outdoor repair tools. Working on electronics projects? Swap in wire strippers and precision drivers. The frame is compatible with dozens of implements across the entire Flex ecosystem, including specialized modules for fishing, cycling, camping, and technical repairs.
Users can purchase individual implements to expand their toolkit, buy curated bundles for specific activities, or start with a Frame Only option to build a completely custom configuration from scratch. The modular frame is available in both right-hand and left-hand blade configurations to accommodate different carry preferences.
Standard Pre-Installed Tools
The Flex Companion ships pre-installed with eight essential implements covering common EDC needs:
- Knife features D2 tool steel construction with thumb-stud deployment for one-handed opening. The locking mechanism secures the blade during use, providing confident cutting performance for everyday tasks.
- Scissors deliver precision cutting for paper, packaging, fabric, and other materials that require clean shear action. The compact design fits the modular frame while maintaining full functionality.
- Tapered Saw handles wood, plastic, and composite materials with aggressive teeth designed for field repairs and camping applications. The tapered profile allows cuts in tight spaces where larger saws cannot reach.
- Awl and Threader combination provides hole-punching capability for leather, canvas, and similar materials, plus a threading eye for basic repair work. Essential for gear maintenance and emergency repairs.
- File removes burrs, smooths rough edges, and shapes metal, plastic, or wood surfaces. Multiple surface textures handle different materials and finishing requirements.
- Ruler and Screwdriver dual-purpose implement combines measurement capability with flathead driver functionality. The ruler provides inch markings for field measurements, while the screwdriver handles common fastener adjustments.
- Comb serves as a travel-friendly grooming tool that also functions as a general-purpose implement for cleaning, spreading, or organizing small items. TSA-compliant design eliminates concerns about blade restrictions during air travel.
- 2-Slot Module contains pen, needle, and tweezers in a compact carrier. The pen handles field notes, the needle supports repair work, and the tweezers provide precision grip for splinters, small parts, and detailed tasks.
Expansion and Customization Options
ROXON offers dozens of additional implements sold separately that transform the Flex Companion for specific activities:
Specialized Tools Available: Wire stripper, mini pliers, t-shank adapter, rope cutter, mini brush, box cutter, scalpel holders, bottle opener, bit drivers, fishing tools, and activity-specific implements.
Build Your Own Setup: Purchase the Frame Only option and select exactly the implements you need. Start with camping tools, swap to electronics repair implements, then reconfigure for fishing or cycling without buying multiple complete multitools.
Activity Bundles: ROXON curates implement sets for specific uses, grouping complementary tools for fishing, camping, technical work, or other focused applications.
Built for Daily Carry and Field Use
ROXON constructs the Flex Companion with D2 tool steel blades paired with high-strength engineered polymer frames. D2 steel offers excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance, holding a sharp edge through extended use without frequent resharpening. The polymer frame construction keeps weight down while providing impact resistance for outdoor use.
Every implement features ROXON’s secure locking mechanism. When deployed, each tool locks open for safe, confident use under load. The system prevents accidental closure during operation while still allowing easy one-handed closing when finished.
The main knife blade uses a thumb-stud deployment system for one-handed opening. The ergonomic design fits pocket carry without the bulk of traditional multi-tools, and the streamlined profile minimizes snagging on gear or clothing.
Upgrade Paths and Customization Support
ROXON offers multiple paths for users to expand their Flex Companion capability. Special edition frames and seasonal color releases provide personalization options beyond the core lineup. Bundle packs group implements for specific activities like camping, fishing, or technical work.
The Flex system maintains broad cross-compatibility across implements and frames, with most tools fitting any Flex Companion frame. The 1/4″ bit adapter represents the primary exception to universal compatibility, and some specialized implements may have specific frame requirements. Users should verify compatibility when purchasing implements for existing frames, though the vast majority work across the entire ecosystem.
This modular approach means users can upgrade frames to new colors or materials without replacing their tool collection, and new implement releases typically work with existing frames. The system scales from basic EDC carry to comprehensive field repair capability without requiring multiple separate multitools.
Warranty and Direct Purchase Support
ROXON backs every Flex Companion with a 25-year warranty covering manufacturing defects and material failures. This long-term commitment reflects confidence in the build quality and durability of the system.
The company offers a 30-day return policy for direct purchases, allowing users to test the tool in real-world conditions before committing. Free shipping applies to all U.S. orders over $50, and the $50 price point for the Flex Companion qualifies for this benefit.
Why High-Visibility Colors Matter for EDC and Outdoor Use
The new Neon Edge and Neon Green colorways solve a practical problem that affects outdoor users and EDC enthusiasts daily. Drop a black, gray, or earth-tone multitool in leaves, grass, gravel, or a dark backpack compartment, and it effectively disappears. Locating a lost tool can consume minutes of searching time during critical moments.
High-visibility frames make the Flex Companion instantly recognizable in gear piles, on campsites, workshop benches, or anywhere small tools tend to go missing. The bright colors catch the eye immediately, reducing search time and preventing loss.
For users who rotate between multiple activities or share tools with family members, the neon colors also provide quick visual identification. No more grabbing the wrong configuration or wondering which loadout is in which tool.
User reviews consistently highlight the Flex system’s “robust flexibility,” “true customization,” and superior field reliability compared to fixed-configuration multitools. The addition of high-visibility colors addresses one of the few remaining pain points in the EDC carry experience.
