Re: Custom bits for Leatherman bit driver
David, that is fantastic.
I've done the same with a few short impact bits, but I never thought about the longer ones. I never thought of grinding the notch for the clip. You have inspired me! (I have a Wave and a Surge.)

Definitely the Harbor Freight grinders run too fast. There are quite a few ways to slow them down, if you are handy.
I got a couple of these for my 1x30:

Re: CPM-15V and the Lost CPM-20V – How Much Vanadium Can You Add?
Larrin, thank you for the fantastic article. (And all your articles and testing.)
