Just received, and unreasonably excited about, my Pocket Driver. Fun fact: instead of two bits, you can fit three bits in the handle, if you use the 18 mm long “Mini Bits” from KS Tools, like their 918.3042 for PH1, seen here fitted in the Pocket Driver. When that’s still not enough, a bunch more fit in one of those cute brass pillboxes from AliExpress. One happy family!
@ferebee this is such a cool addition! Are these standard use bits? It’s a nifty way of expanding the use. And I’m a big fan of the pillbox! I’ve not actually seen one of those before, but it definitely fits nicely with the set-up.
Cheers!
Yes, the bits (see kstools.com) will fit any 1/4″ driver. Except they’re short. If you fit them in the Pocket Drive with the grip folded forward, they’ll work fine if you have clearance, but you’d better have a good grip afterwards to pull them out again! ![]()
I got another pillbox, this one in titanium. Now I can fit my entire arsenal in my pants pocket—saved the day once already. The 1/4″ adapter for the 4 mm micro-bits works as a driver for fine work in a pinch, but something tells me a Multi Drive Stubster is in my future.
This just emphasizes that one thing which has not yet been solved in a general/vendor-neutral fashion is storing small bits.
One wants a solution like to:
but when expanded to full-dimension hexagons, it quickly becomes heavy and bulky.
I’ve been storing them in 3D printed plastic holder in an Altoids tin, but that’s a pain since before use a space has to be found to open the tin and so forth.
Cylinders such as Peter Atwood’s BitBuckets:
further complicate this by requiring space to empty out the holder…
Probably, I’m just spoiled by my CRKT Getaway Driver’s easy access…
Coughcough MetMo Magnetic Bit Case
I have that, and it’s fine, but it doesn’t really afford easy access beyond the first two at the end.
The Magnetic Bit Case looks really nice, and I’m sure it’s satisfying. But it fits half the bits in twice the volume vs. the pillbox of Mini Bits. (It can take up to 12.) I’m gonna use the other half of that volume for the second pillbox with 17 4mm microbits—to go with the Multi Drive Stubster that should be coming any day now. ![]()
