[@zoephin6205]

Thank You Anne! 🥰 I'm glad you added your own flair to this topic! Interesting ideas I haven't considered. I drilled a small hole through the adapter, at the base of the hex side, just atop where the magnet is. I attach to SAK keyring with thin kevlar cord - cow hitch. I don't need to remove the cord to use the adapter because the magnet can hold the bit despite thin cord in between the magnet and bit. OK ok, my husband actually drilled that hole. I thought I would mess it up. Thanks again for some credit :)

[@thevineclimber]

Zoe!!! Thank you so much for this really fun video idea! It obviously gave me months of entertainment. It cracks me up that you drilled a hole. There's this guy I work with, and I asked him for advice on how to carry it. And he said to drill a hole, but we were like, "nobody would do that!" 😆 So did your husband use a drill press? I can't figure out how to otherwise.

[@zoephin6205]

You're welcome No, my husband doesn't have a drill press. He has a small tungsten carbide cube with 1/32 inch holes thru the centers. He wrapped electrical tape and then some strap metal around the adapter until it was the same width as cube inside a vise. The cube acted as a guide. The drill bit couldn't move around. After he made 1/32 hole, he expanded it to 3/64. So all you need is a magic cube made with a drill press 🤣

I have made inline adapters for SAK cap lifters and combo tools for over ten years. I use a 1/4 inch square drive to 1/4 inch hex adapter that can be found on Amazon. I insert a magnet in the square drive side and fill it with J-B Weld then I coat the SAK cap lifter with cooking spray and insert it into the J-B Weld and let set overnight. I just learned a new method from Jon Fix here on KZbin you fill the square side with hot glue insert the SAK lifter and wait for it to cool This method is a lot easier and so far it is working well for me. I carry my adapters in the bottom of my front pocket.

You can turn them around using the appropriate deep 6 point socket then put adapter in drive end. There you have a 1/4 square drive for sockets. Plug on an adapter for a 1/4 bit driver.

Thank you!!

[@wderoker]

Hi. I’m really enjoying your videos! I have found that using a wrap of electrical tape around the upper part of the 91 mm screw driver tip adds enough friction to hold the adapter in place and retains it fairly well. The blade closes without too much interference allowing to open and close with good function. Thanks again. 😊

[@thevineclimber]

Wow, that is an awesome tip. Thank you so much for sharing that here!! I'm so happy you're enjoying the videos. Thank you for letting me know.

[@MrDDiRusso]

It is possible to magnetized the cap lifter screwdriver on the victorinox. This might solve the retention issue.

[@thevineclimber]

That is a fantastic idea. I'm going to do it now.

[@MrDDiRusso]

​@@thevineclimber I tried it and at least with my sockets, it did not provide enough magnetism to retain the socket on the screwdriver. 🙁. The magnetized screw driver will pick up the socket when held from the side, but inserting the screwdriver into the socket does not provide enough surface area to hold it in place. There's got to be another way.....🤔

[@thevineclimber]

@@thevineclimber Your welcome

[@ScorpionRegent]

If your path to happiness involves carrying a 1/4" socket with your SAK, you can crimp an alligator clamp onto a paracord lanyard. Alternatively you can use a magnet on your lanyard. The bit holder shown at 8:20 will work as a stand-alone bit driver, granted the bits are long enough. For more leverage slip something like a pen or spoon through the ring or just replace the original ring with something larger oner.

[@daphnedevi]

All neat ideas. My hesitancy around them is that all that tends to make a pocket lumpy bumpy, and there is still the matter of where/how to carry a bunch of bits, or otherwise go "doh!" when you only bring a few bits, but need the one you left out. To that end I sure do like the little Victorinox bit driver that clips to the companion bit set... compact/flat. Maybe something like that could snug into your belt holster. I've largely stopped carrying my bit driver/bits with me for daily edc, because the need proved so rare compared to the frequency of using a flat or phillips. What bit do you find yourself needing to use the most, if any?

[@zoephin6205]

In my office, an Allen H3.5 allows me to leave exterior doors unlocked.. In the forest, a Torx T9 can help me fix 3 folding knives and a pliers multitool. My young sons are experts at loosening things.

[@thevineclimber]

Hey Daphne!! Well, I do not have to worry about pocket bumpiness because I carry mine in a holster. But you are right - it's not likely for me to need another bit most days! But I love that there is an option. There is one particular Torx bit that works on a particular piece of equipment at work. I also feel like the bit that goes on to the cap lifter would be a really good option for people that do not have a Phillips in line. Especially if they have a 111 mm model, it just feels really robust.

[@thevineclimber]

Zoe!! You are a woman of mystery. How does an Allen wrench let you leave doors unlocked? Are you... undoing the lockout on a crash bar exit door? Lol I bet your sons are a lot of fun! 😀 Now let's all just take a minute to appreciate this moment. I think this is only my 2nd conversation with 2 women about multitools! 😀🙃😊

@@zoephin6205 ha! Zoe vs Sons… Disassembly-Assembly Battle Royale. 🤣 I too am curious about your door jam finagling. A torx for knife adjustment is an definitely an obvious choice for many. For me it may be to adjust something on my motorcycle or scooter… or my friend who is constantly having me assemble or repair or install something… I giggle like a crazed Leprechaun now though when she asks because I get excited to see what I can accomplish without going to her tool box. And at work I’ve commandeered our pathetic little $15 tool kit to augment what I carry. My union rep coworker constantly reminds me I’m not supposed to do stuff meant for the facilities team… I tell her not to kill my joy. 😜 Anne, you are so right that without an inline driver it is a wonderful option as I too had once discovered when I was playing with the same idea… quite snug and functional. And to you both… 🤠💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻🫶

[@zoephin6205]

My boys are wonderful :) Yes, crash bar ! My husband calls it the "ass bar", but I'm not tall enough. I first had to expand the hole to fit the hex bit. So it won't work on any default crash door :( Multitools are ideal for women, I think. Small, neat, and complete is how I like things. We invented EDC !

[@hitchpost5822]

Anne here are a couple of more ideas for adapters you might like. Craftsman Finger Bit Driver 41380 was designed to attach to a 1/4” socket wrench to allow finger tightening, so it can stand alone as a shorty screwdriver with hex bits it has a strong magnet & adding a swiss army knife multiplies the force for driving screws and such. Gerber multi tools have a bit kit that’s available separately that attaches to there phillips screwdriver & allows 1/4” hex bits There are probably other multi-tool adapters that would work also. Another option for carrying the bits and adapters might be in a sheath. The flat Leatherman bits might be useful with the right adapter and take up less space.

[@zoephin6205]

I could see how a ratcheting finger driver could be useful (not the 41380). Good idea generated. Thank you !

[@hitchpost5822]

​@@zoephin6205 Hi, I actually have used the 41380 in that manner, it’s magnet holds it to the SAK screwdriver very securely and also holds the hex bit in place. It is meant to be used with a ratchet, it doesn’t ratchet on its own. It’s 1/4” square female to 1/4” hex female, the screwdriver fits diagonally in the square end.

[@zoephin6205]

Oh, I understood how it is used. I have used this type of socket adapter. I just think the 41380 adds little beyond that ability, except for the magnet. I have plenty of magnets. I imagine that a ratcheting finger driver is worth buying ... I don't own a ratcheting driver of any sort. Thanks anywise :)
