One Man’s Junk, Another Man’s Treasure — The Story Behind The Junkyard

AOI Designs Junkyard artwork featuring the AOI logo above the words ‘The Junkyard,’ surrounded by mechanical gears, bolts, and industrial parts — representing AOI’s collection of earlier product designs sold at a discount.

At AOI Designs, we’re constantly pushing boundaries — rethinking, redesigning, and reinventing to make every product tougher, cleaner, and smarter. But here’s the thing about innovation: it doesn’t happen in one shot. Every great design goes through stages — from early prototypes to improved iterations.

So what happens to those earlier versions when we upgrade the design?

They don’t belong in the trash. They belong in The Junkyard.

The Purpose Behind The Junkyard

The Junkyard was born out of a simple idea — great products shouldn’t go to waste just because we made them even better.
Every product in The Junkyard is brand new, fully functional, and ready for work. The only difference is that we’ve since evolved the design — maybe refined the shape, upgraded the magnets, or optimized the materials.

Instead of tossing those perfectly good versions aside, we decided to give them a new purpose:
to offer our customers high-quality products at near-cost prices while keeping waste out of landfills.

Because progress shouldn’t mean waste.

What You’ll Find in The Junkyard

The Junkyard is where you’ll find earlier versions of our designs, like the original DieselDock — our magnetic holder for diesel additive bottles.

Maybe it has two or three magnets instead of four, or an older AOI logo instead of the branded HexPro3D logo— but every product is tough, reliable, and made with the same care and precision as our latest line.

Think of The Junkyard as a second chance for great gear — and an opportunity for you to grab premium-quality products at a fraction of the price.

Treasure Awaits

If you’re someone who appreciates a good deal — and doesn’t mind owning a piece of AOI history — The Junkyard is your kind of place.

These products are limited, discounted, and built to last. Once they’re gone, they’re gone.

Because at AOI Designs, we believe innovation shouldn’t just move us forward —
it should leave nothing behind.
