Search IKEA's US site for FIXA today and the results are a drill template and a countertop support fixture. The FIXA tool kit is gone from the US range, and its slot is filled by the TRIXIG 15-piece tool set, article 805.566.89, at $15.99. IKEA's own copy positions it as a starter box, either to complete a toolbox or to hand to someone who has just moved.
What makes the TRIXIG set worth a close read is how much IKEA publishes for a $15.99 product. The page lists the contents twice, once in prose and once as a bit list, gives the materials for the box, the hammer, the wrench, the screwdriver, the bumper, the pliers and the bit set separately, and states a packaged weight and box dimensions. That detail also exposes the set's two limits: a bit selection built around IKEA's own hardware, and no warranty of any kind.
Our verdict
A $15.99 flat-pack tool set with five real tools and ten bits, documented by IKEA more thoroughly than most hardware-store kits: materials per part, recycled content, package weight and the exact bit list. Two things decide whether it belongs in your drawer. The bits are Pozidriv, Torx, hex and one slotted size, with no Phillips at all, and IKEA extends none of its limited warranties to it.
- A good fit for
- A dorm room, first apartment or office drawer that needs to assemble flat-pack furniture and hang a few pictures, where the hex and Pozidriv bits match the hardware IKEA itself ships.
- We would skip it if
- Most of the screws in your life are Phillips, you want a hammer heavier than a furniture-assembly mallet, or you expect any tool set to carry a written warranty on the steel.
Reasons to consider it
- IKEA publishes a full bill of materials: steel tool bodies with nickel plating, handles of at least 50 percent recycled polypropylene, and a box made from the same recycled plastic
- The claw hammer ships with a separate rubber damper that turns it into a soft mallet for tapping dowels and cam locks without marking the wood
- Every tool has a hang hole in the shaft, the box stacks with other TRIXIG boxes, and the whole package weighs 2 lb 5 oz
The compromises
- The ten bits are PZ1, PZ2, PZ3, T20, T25, T30, H4, H5, SL6 and an awl; there is no Phillips bit, and a Pozidriv bit does not seat fully in a Phillips recess
- IKEA states no dimensions or weight for any individual tool, only the 11 1/4 by 7 1/4 by 1 1/2 inch box, so the hammer's head weight and the wrench's jaw opening are unknown
- The set appears nowhere on IKEA's US list of limited warranties, and IKEA's page for it mentions no warranty, so the only recourse is IKEA's return terms
What we have not verified: This review is assembled from IKEA's US product page, its return policy and its limited-warranty list, with no hands-on time. IKEA does not publish the hammer weight, the wrench capacity, the bit length or the drive size of the screwdriver, and the way the count reaches fifteen (whether the damper or the box is a piece) is inferred, not stated.
The things in this guide
A closer look at the products, who they may suit, and what to check before buying.
TRIXIG 15-piece tool set
For $15.99 the set covers the four fasteners IKEA furniture actually uses (hex, Pozidriv, Torx and one slotted size), adds pliers, an adjustable wrench and a hammer with a rubber face, and documents its materials down to the recycled content.
Before you buy: No Phillips bit, no per-tool weights or dimensions, and no warranty; returning an opened set within 180 days is the only protection.

IKEA's care notes describe the contents as one box holding a hammer with a separate rubber damper, one wrench, combination pliers, one bit screwdriver, slotted bits, star bits, Allen bits and an awl. The materials table names the hammer as a claw hammer and the wrench as an adjustable wrench. A second line spells out the bits: PZ1, PZ2, PZ3, T20, T25, T30, H4, H5, SL6 and AWL. Ten bits plus a hammer, a wrench, pliers and a screwdriver come to fourteen, so the fifteenth piece is either the rubber damper or the box itself; IKEA does not say which.
The prose and the bit list do not quite agree. The prose says slotted bits, plural, and the list shows one, SL6. The prose never mentions Pozidriv, yet three of the ten bits are PZ sizes and none is Phillips. Read the bit list, not the summary, when deciding whether the set covers your hardware. The set is designed around IKEA furniture: cam locks and confirmat screws take Pozidriv and hex, and the Torx sizes cover the T20 to T30 range common on hinges and hardware.
Pozidriv is not Phillips, and the difference matters in a US home
Pozidriv and Phillips recesses look alike at arm's length and are not interchangeable. A Pozidriv bit has a second set of smaller ribs at 45 degrees and a flatter tip; drop it into a Phillips screw head and it sits on the ribs without reaching full depth, which is how heads get chewed. IKEA's own furniture hardware runs on Pozidriv and hex, which is why the bit list reads the way it does, and the PZ1, PZ2 and PZ3 bits in this set are the right tool for it. Most screws sold in US hardware stores, and most screws already holding a US house together, are Phillips.
That is the practical limit of the TRIXIG set as a general household kit. It will assemble the bookcase it was bought alongside and drive the hex bolts in a bed frame, then stall at the first drywall anchor or outlet cover that wants a #2 Phillips. IKEA lists a separate TRIXIG 25-piece precision screwdriver set and a 20-piece drill and bit set, but the 15-piece box on its own leaves Phillips out. Buying one PH2 bit from any hardware store closes the gap for well under a dollar.
Materials, recycled content and the rubber damper
IKEA lists materials per part. The box, divider and lid are polypropylene with at least 50 percent recycled content. The claw hammer, adjustable wrench and screwdriver are steel with polypropylene handles (again at least 50 percent recycled), thermoplastic elastomer grips and nickel plating. The combination pliers are steel, thermoplastic elastomer and nickel plating; the bit set is steel and thermoplastic elastomer; the bumper is thermoplastic elastomer alone. Care is a wipe with a moistened cloth and a mild cleaner. What IKEA does not list is any steel grade, hardness or bit standard, and no per-tool weight.
The hammer's rubber damper is the most useful design detail. IKEA says the separate rubber dampener lets the hammer double as a rubber mallet, which is what flat-pack assembly actually calls for: seating dowels, closing cam locks and tapping a back panel home without denting the particleboard. Take the damper off and the steel claw face is there for nails and pulling them. The shafts of the tools have holes so they can hang on a pegboard, and IKEA notes that TRIXIG boxes stack, so a second box of screws or wall hooks sits on top of this one.
No warranty, only the return window
IKEA's page for the set has no warranty statement, and IKEA's US limited-warranty page, which lists covered families from bathroom furniture to storage systems, does not include TRIXIG or any hand tool. The general conditions on that page explain what a covered product would get: examination by IKEA, then a repair or a replacement at IKEA's choice, with exclusions for misuse, wrong cleaning, normal wear and outdoor or humid storage. None of it reaches this set. A hammer that mushrooms or a bit that rounds off is not a warranty case at IKEA.
What stands in for a warranty is IKEA's return policy. New and unopened products can go back inside 365 days at full price with a receipt, and opened products within 180 days. The policy refuses items that are dirty, damaged or modified, so a tool set that has been used hard for five months is a judgment call at the returns desk, not a guaranteed refund. At $15.99 the calculation is simple: if a piece fails inside 180 days, bring it back; after that, the set is a consumable.
The numbers IKEA leaves out
For a page this detailed, the omissions are specific. The only dimensions are for the packaged box: 11 1/4 inches long, 7 1/4 wide, 1 1/2 high, at 2 lb 5 oz. There is no hammer head weight, no overall hammer length, no jaw capacity for the adjustable wrench, no pliers length and no bit length. The 1 1/2 inch box height caps how substantial the hammer can be; a 16 oz framing hammer would not fit, so the hammer is sized for assembly, not carpentry.
IKEA credits the design to David Wahl, Aleksandar Andreevski, Casper Asmussen and Karson Shadley and quotes them on durability, weight and grip comfort as the priorities. Those are claims about intent, not measurements. The page shows a 4.7 average across 531 customer ratings, and one theme in that feedback is dorm rooms and first apartments, which matches IKEA's own framing of the set. None of that substitutes for a stated head weight.
When to skip the TRIXIG box
Skip it if your screws are Phillips, which in a US home means most of them. The set has no PH bit, and the PZ bits will damage Phillips heads if you press the point. Skip it when the hammer has to do more than dowels and picture hooks; the box height limits the hammer to a light assembly tool. Skip it if a warranty on hand tools is a requirement, since IKEA extends none to this set and the 180-day window on opened goods is the only recourse.
Buy it at $15.99 if the job is IKEA furniture and the light maintenance of a rented room, where hex, Pozidriv and Torx cover nearly every fastener you will meet and the rubber-faced hammer earns its space on assembly day. Add a single PH2 bit from a hardware store and the set becomes a reasonable general kit. If the drawer already holds a Phillips screwdriver and a real hammer, the TRIXIG box adds pliers, a wrench and a set of hex bits for less than the price of the pliers alone at most stores.
